What to do
Operators of ELIXIR aeroplanes with affected engine mounts must conduct detailed inspections before the next flight after 14 June 2024 and every 25 flight hours thereafter until replacement. Cracked parts found before 10 September 2025 must be replaced with new affected parts, while after this date, replacement must be with serviceable parts. All affected parts must be replaced within 14 months or before 110 flight hours after 10 September 2025. Installation of affected parts is prohibited from the effective date.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0186 addresses the inspection and replacement of engine mounts on ELIXIR aeroplanes. It specifically targets engine mounts with Part Number PRD-00094440 due to cracking issues. The directive mandates inspections and replacement with improved serviceable parts to ensure continued airworthiness.
What changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2024-0112-E and introduces the mandatory replacement of all affected engine mounts with improved serviceable parts. It prohibits reinstalling the affected parts and establishes a life limit of 21,000 flight hours for the new engine mounts. The directive also retains some inspection requirements until replacement is completed.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this directive is critical to maintain the structural integrity of ELIXIR aeroplanes' engine mounts, preventing potential failures caused by cracks. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to avoid unsafe conditions and ensure regulatory compliance. The life limit and replacement requirements impact maintenance planning and parts inventory management.
