It mandates the discard and replacement of main entrance door fittings due to reported failures during door operation. The directive also updates maintenance manual revisions related to door fittings and landing gear torque links.
What Changed
This new Airworthiness Directive introduces a requirement for G280 operators to update their Aircraft Maintenance Manual to Revision 21 or later, incorporating life limits and maintenance checks for main entrance door fittings. It also includes recently approved alternative part numbers for nose landing gear torque links. The directive mandates discarding and replacing the affected door fittings within a specified timeframe.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for maintaining the safety and airworthiness of G280 aircraft by preventing door fitting failures that could compromise aircraft operation. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure timely incorporation of the updated maintenance procedures to avoid grounding or regulatory non-compliance. It directly impacts maintenance planning and parts inventory management.
What To Do
G280 operators must incorporate Aircraft Maintenance Manual Revision 21 or a later CAAI-approved revision addressing the life limits and maintenance checks for main entrance door fittings. The affected door fittings must be discarded and replaced within three months from the directive's effective date of July 26, 2026. Operators should also update records to reflect the use of newly certificated alternative part numbers for nose landing gear torque links.
