What to do
Operators of Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aircraft must perform a detailed inspection of the passenger and crew door girt bar fitting assemblies within four months of 22 September 2025. If any issues are detected, corrective actions must be completed before the next flight. Additionally, from the effective date, maintenance tasks involving adjustment or installation of door mats and girt bar fittings as specified in the directive are prohibited.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0192 is issued for Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aeroplanes, addressing a safety issue with passenger and crew door girt bar fitting assemblies. The directive mandates inspection and corrective actions to ensure proper function of the girt bar fittings, which are critical for emergency door slide deployment. This AD applies to all manufacturer serial numbers of the specified Airbus A350 models.
What changed
This new airworthiness directive introduces a one-time detailed inspection of the girt bar fitting assemblies on affected Airbus A350 aircraft to detect any mechanical interference caused by excessive sealant. It also prohibits certain maintenance procedures on these fittings from the effective date onward. Corrective actions must be taken immediately if discrepancies are found during inspection.
Why it matters
This AD is crucial for aviation professionals because it addresses a potential safety hazard that could prevent emergency evacuation by causing failure of the passenger door slide deployment. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to ensure continued airworthiness and regulatory compliance. The directive helps prevent incidents related to door girt bar disengagement, enhancing passenger safety during emergencies.
