EASA AD 2025-0124
Time Limits / Maintenance Checks — Airworthiness Limitations Section — Amendment
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0124 is an amendment addressing the airworthiness limitations for Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon aeroplanes equipped with the Supplemental Structural Inspection Program (SSIP). It mandates compliance with the updated Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Revision 12 of the Dassault FJF Maintenance Manual, which includes new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits. This directive ensures continued airworthiness and safe operation of all serial numbers of Fan Jet Falcon aircraft.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0124 supersedes the previous AD 2023-0059 and introduces updated maintenance tasks and reduced thresholds or intervals as specified in ALS Revision 12. The amendment requires replacement of components before exceeding new life limits and completion of all applicable maintenance tasks within revised intervals. It also mandates revising the Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) within 12 months to incorporate these changes.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to maintain compliance with mandatory airworthiness limitations, preventing unsafe conditions due to overlooked or outdated maintenance tasks. It ensures that maintenance programs reflect the latest manufacturer-approved structural inspection requirements, thereby safeguarding aircraft integrity and operational safety. Compliance also avoids regulatory penalties and supports continued airworthiness certification.
What To Do
Operators must replace components before their updated life limits are exceeded and perform all maintenance tasks within the new intervals starting from 11 June 2025. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate the updated ALS Revision 12. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, either using existing Dassault instructions or by obtaining approved instructions from Dassault.
