Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected within specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is given.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0085 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Fokker F27 Mark 050, Mark 0502, and Mark 0604 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks as specified in Fokker Services' Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 2, Report SE-622, Issue 16. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing replacement of life-limited parts and adherence to maintenance intervals.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0085 supersedes the previous AD 2023-0170 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations for Fokker F27 aircraft. It requires operators to comply with the latest Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 2, Issue 16, which includes updated structural airworthiness limitation items and retirement lives for safe life items. The directive also mandates revision of the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months to incorporate these changes.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it mandates updated maintenance and replacement schedules to prevent unsafe conditions arising from structural or component fatigue. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure adherence to these revised limitations to maintain aircraft airworthiness and regulatory compliance. Failure to comply could result in unsafe conditions and regulatory penalties.
