EASA AD CF-2025-67
Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC) — New and Revised Airworthiness Limitations (AWL) Tasks
Summary
Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2025-67 addresses new and revised Airworthiness Limitations (AWL) tasks for Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (ACLP) aircraft models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11. This directive mandates compliance with updated time limits and maintenance checks to ensure continued airworthiness. It applies to all serial numbers 50001 and subsequent for BD-500-1A10, and 55001 and subsequent for BD-500-1A11.
What Changed
CF-2025-67 introduces new AWL tasks and revises existing ones to be more restrictive for the BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 aircraft. Changes include reduced thresholds, repeat intervals, and discard times for certain maintenance tasks as published in AWL BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue No. 019.00 dated 17 April 2025.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams to prevent unsafe conditions by adhering to mandatory updated maintenance requirements. Failure to comply could compromise aircraft safety and regulatory compliance. It ensures that maintenance practices reflect the latest safety standards approved by Transport Canada.
What To Do
Operators must complete the new and more restrictive AWL tasks within the specified thresholds, repeat intervals, or discard times as outlined in the updated AWL publication by 10 January 2026. Compliance with later Transport Canada-approved revisions of the AWL publication affecting these tasks also satisfies this directive. Stakeholders should review and update maintenance programs accordingly.
