What to do
Operators of affected Airbus A350-941 aircraft must perform inspections of the main landing gear brake rod centre pin and nut sub-assemblies within specified compliance times ranging from 2 to 4 months after 9 May 2025, depending on the aircraft group. If discrepancies are found, corrective actions including part replacement must be completed before the next flight. Additionally, if brake rod pin sub-assemblies were reinstalled without lockwire and sealant before the effective date, operators must contact Airbus within one month and complete any further instructions within two months. Inspection results must be reported to Airbus within 30 days after inspection or the AD effective date.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0150 is an airworthiness directive addressing the inspection of the main landing gear brake rod centre pin and nut sub-assemblies on Airbus A350-941 aeroplanes with specific manufacturer serial numbers. The directive mandates inspections to detect corrosion and potential detachment risks of these parts, which could affect the extension of the main landing gear. It applies to multiple groups of affected aircraft and references Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A32P034-24 Revision 01 for inspection procedures.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0150 supersedes AD 2025-0095 and updates the inspection instructions by referring to the revised Airbus AOT A32P034-24 Revision 01. It introduces additional inspection work for certain aircraft groups and clarifies corrective actions, including replacement requirements and reporting obligations. The directive also addresses incomplete instructions from the previous AOT and adds requirements for contacting Airbus if certain reinstallation procedures were performed incorrectly.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it ensures the continued airworthiness and safety of Airbus A350-941 aircraft by preventing potential landing gear extension failures caused by corrosion and component detachment. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to avoid operational disruptions and safety risks. Compliance teams need to manage inspection schedules, corrective actions, and reporting to meet regulatory requirements and maintain fleet safety.
