What to do

Operators must inspect affected intercooler hoses within specified compliance times—before next flight after 20 October 2025 for Group 1 aircraft and before next flight after the directive's effective date for Group 2—and then every 50 flight hours. Damaged hoses must be replaced before the next flight. Additionally, all affected hoses must be replaced before accumulating 500 flight hours since first installation. Only serviceable parts as defined by the directive may be installed from the effective date onward.

Summary

EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0230-E is an emergency directive addressing inspection and replacement requirements for turbocharger and intercooler hoses on Textron Aviation Inc. (formerly Cessna) Model 182M, 182N, 182P, 182Q, 182R, and Reims-manufactured F182P and F182Q aeroplanes equipped with SMA SR305-230 series engines. The directive targets specific intercooler inlet/outlet hoses with defined part numbers to prevent potential engine power loss. It mandates inspections and replacements to ensure continued airworthiness.

What changed

This directive supersedes EASA Emergency AD 2025-0225-E and expands the applicability to include additional Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) related to SMA SR305-230/-230-1 engine installations. It retains previous inspection and replacement requirements while adding new affected aircraft groups and updated service bulletin revisions. The directive also introduces a life limit of 500 flight hours for affected hoses and clarifies installation conditions for serviceable parts.

Why it matters

This directive is critical for aviation professionals to prevent engine power loss caused by damaged intercooler hoses, which could lead to forced landings and potential injuries. Operators and maintenance organizations must ensure compliance to maintain aircraft safety and regulatory approval. The directive's interim nature indicates further actions may follow, requiring ongoing attention to compliance and airworthiness management.
