EASA AD 2025-0211
Time Limits / Maintenance Checks — Airworthiness Limitations Section — Amendment
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0211 is an amendment concerning the time limits and maintenance checks in the Airworthiness Limitations Section for Pilatus PC-24 aeroplanes. This directive updates the mandatory maintenance tasks and life limits to ensure continued airworthiness of all PC-24 aircraft. It applies to all manufacturer serial numbers of the Pilatus PC-24 and references the latest approved Aircraft Maintenance Manual revisions.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0211 supersedes the previous AD 2022-0207 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits in the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the Pilatus PC-24 Aircraft Maintenance Manual. The updated ALS includes revised thresholds and intervals for maintenance tasks and component replacements, reflecting the latest safety and reliability data from the manufacturer.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams as it mandates adherence to updated maintenance requirements to prevent unsafe conditions. Failure to comply with these revised tasks and life limits could compromise aircraft safety and regulatory compliance. Ensuring the Aircraft Maintenance Programme is updated accordingly supports continued airworthiness and operational approval under EU regulations.
What To Do
Operators must, from 10 October 2025, replace components before exceeding their life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified intervals as per the updated ALS. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following Pilatus instructions or approved alternatives. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months after the effective date to incorporate the new tasks and limitations.
