Mandatory review and repairs for BD-500-1A11
If you own or operate Airbus Canada Model BD-500-1A11 airplanes, the FAA requires you to review and disposition all existing repairs and damage assessments for affected structure and carry out corrective actions if necessary, under the superseding airworthiness directive that replaces AD 2025-07-04.
Prohibition of certain REOs continues
The AD continues to prohibit certain repair engineering orders (REOs) on Airbus Canada Model BD-500-1A11 airplanes; operators must not use those prohibited REOs when addressing repairs or damage assessments.
Correction: GREO acceptance list removed
The FAA determined that the list of acceptable generic repair engineering orders (GREOs) in table 1 to paragraph (h)(3) of AD 2025-07-04 was added in error; this AD corrects that issue while continuing the overall review and corrective-action requirements.
