EASA AD 2025-0229
Time Limits / Maintenance Checks — Airworthiness Limitations Section — Amendment
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0229 is an amendment concerning the Dassault Aviation Falcon 7X aeroplanes, including those modified with Dassault modification M1000 (Falcon 8X). It updates the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) of the maintenance manual, specifically Chapter 5-40 (DGT 107838) Revision 14, to ensure continued airworthiness through mandatory maintenance tasks and life limit replacements.
What Changed
This amendment supersedes EASA AD 2025-0122 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations in the ALS. It reduces thresholds or intervals for certain tasks and life limits, requiring operators to comply with the updated maintenance requirements as specified in the latest ALS revision.
Why It Matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0229 is critical to maintaining the safety and airworthiness of Falcon 7X aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must update their Aircraft Maintenance Programmes (AMP) to incorporate the revised tasks and limitations, preventing unsafe conditions and ensuring regulatory adherence.
What To Do
Affected operators must replace components before exceeding new life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within the updated thresholds and intervals starting from 3 November 2025. They must revise their approved AMP within 12 months of the effective date to include the updated ALS requirements. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following Dassault's approved instructions.
