Learn More✈️Airworthiness Directive for Dassault Aviation FALCON 2000EX
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of the incorrect installation of the very high frequency omnidirectional range and localizer (VOR/LOC) antenna coupler. This AD requires implementing an operational limitation for Category (CAT) II and CAT III approaches, inspecting the VOR/LOC antenna coupler, and reinstalling the VOR/LOC antenna coupler if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Piaggio Aviation Airplanes Issued
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-25- 03, which applied to certain Piaggio Aviation S.p.A. (Piaggio) Model P- 180 airplanes. AD 2023-25-03 required a one-time detailed inspection of the horizontal stabilizer (HS) central box for corrosion; an assessment of the corrosion level; and depending on the determination, repetitive detailed inspections of the HS central box for corrosion and the internal composite structure for surface cracks, distortion, and damage; and repair or replacement of the HS assembly. Repair or replacement of the HS assembly was terminating action for the repetitive inspections. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-25-03, it was determined that AD 2023-25-03 imposed an unintended restriction that is not in the mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI). This AD retains certain actions of AD-2023-25-03 and removes the unintended restriction. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-01- 08, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747-8F, and 747-8 series airplanes. AD 2025-01-08 required identifying the part number, and the serial number if applicable, of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions for affected seats. AD 2025-01-08 also required a one-time detailed inspection and repetitive checks of the horizontal movement system (HMS) of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-01-08, the FAA determined that AD 2025-01-08 contains an error when providing conditions for taking credit using a previous revision of the service information. This AD requires the actions of AD 2025-01-08 and revises paragraph (j) of this AD to clarify which actions are not required. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
