EASA AD 2025-0122
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2025-0229
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0122 is issued for Dassault Aviation Falcon 7X aeroplanes, including those with the Falcon 8X modification. This directive mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations as specified in the Dassault Falcon 7X Maintenance Manual, Airworthiness Limitations Chapter 5-40, Revision 13. It ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing maintenance tasks and life limits on components.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0122 supersedes the previous AD 2024-0033 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations in the airworthiness limitations section. These changes include updated thresholds and intervals for maintenance tasks and component life limits as published in the latest revision of the Dassault Falcon 7X Maintenance Manual.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to maintain the safety and airworthiness of Falcon 7X aircraft. Failure to comply with the updated maintenance requirements could lead to unsafe conditions. Compliance teams must ensure that maintenance programs are revised accordingly to meet regulatory standards and avoid operational restrictions.
What To Do
Operators must implement the updated maintenance tasks and replace life-limited parts before exceeding their limits starting from 11 June 2025. 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 before the next flight following Dassault's approved instructions.
