EASA AD 2022-0207
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2025-0211
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0207 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Pilatus PC-24 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks as specified in the Pilatus PC-24 Aircraft Maintenance Manual Chapter 04-00-00, Document Number 02378 Issue 005 Revision 29. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing new and more restrictive maintenance requirements.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0207 supersedes the previous AD 2020-0202 and introduces new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations, including the conversion of the Emergency Contactor 2 Test from a scheduled maintenance task to a Certification Maintenance Requirement task. Additionally, editorial changes were made such as merging five ALS data modules into one and removing the landing gear part number from the documentation.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams because it mandates updated maintenance procedures that are essential to prevent unsafe conditions on Pilatus PC-24 aircraft. Failure to comply with these updated airworthiness limitations could compromise aircraft safety and regulatory compliance, potentially grounding aircraft or causing operational disruptions.
What To Do
Operators must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals as detailed in the updated ALS. They must revise the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate the new limitations and tasks. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected within the specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is specified.
