Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0095 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Airbus A350-941 aeroplanes with specific manufacturer serial numbers. It mandates inspections of the main landing gear brake rod center pin and nut sub-assemblies to detect corrosion and potential detachment risks. The directive aims to ensure continued airworthiness and prevent landing gear extension failures.
What changed
This new airworthiness directive introduces a one-time detailed inspection requirement for the main landing gear brake rod center pin and nut sub-assemblies on affected Airbus A350-941 aircraft. It specifies different inspection methods and compliance times based on aircraft groups and requires corrective actions and reporting if discrepancies are found. The directive is an interim measure pending further investigation and potential future actions.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it addresses a safety issue that could prevent the main landing gear from extending, posing risks to aircraft integrity and occupant safety. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to avoid operational disruptions and ensure regulatory compliance. Timely inspections and corrective actions help maintain aircraft safety and airworthiness standards.
