What to do
Operators and maintenance organizations should follow Collins Aerospace SIL XXXXX-35-005 instructions to activate and dispose of B/E Aerospace Systems chemical oxygen generators at the 15-year life limit. Any failures or anomalies during activation must be documented and reported to the supplier. Compliance with these instructions is essential even though the bulletin's recommendations are not mandatory.
Summary
EASA Safety Information Bulletin 2025-11 is a correction notice regarding the disposal instructions for B/E Aerospace Systems chemical oxygen generators with specific part numbers. It reminds operators that these generators have a certified service life of 15 years and must be activated and disposed of at the end of their life, even if unused. The bulletin also references EASA Airworthiness Directive 2024-0198 related to certain batches of generators with reduced starter powder reactivity.
What changed
This correction bulletin republishes the original Safety Information Bulletin to fix typographical errors in the Collins Aerospace Service Information Letter number. It reiterates the requirement to follow disposal instructions for chemical oxygen generators reaching their 15-year life limit and emphasizes reporting any activation failures. No new mandatory actions or Airworthiness Directives are introduced by this correction.
Why it matters
Proper disposal of chemical oxygen generators is critical to ensure their reliable activation in emergencies, which directly affects passenger safety. Aviation professionals must track service life limits to avoid using expired equipment that may fail. Reporting activation anomalies supports ongoing investigations and helps maintain the safety and airworthiness of aircraft oxygen systems.
