FAA Supplemental Airworthiness Directive

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Supplemental Airworthiness Directive (AD) under Docket No. FAA-2026-2711, referencing EASA AD 2024-0088 C1. This action mandates specific maintenance or inspection procedures for certain aircraft to address identified safety concerns. The directive is part of the FAA's ongoing efforts to ensure the continued airworthiness of the U.S. civil aircraft fleet by harmonizing with international airworthiness standards.

Manufacturers and operators of affected aircraft must review the requirements outlined in this AD and the referenced EASA AD. Compliance with the specified actions, which may include inspections, repairs, or modifications, is mandatory to maintain the airworthiness of the aircraft. Failure to comply with an Airworthiness Directive can result in penalties and may ground the aircraft until compliance is achieved.
