Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22518 · Heating system
Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes
This AD applies to Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Model PC-24 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-24 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of an electrical burning smell in the cabin without the presence of smoke. This AD requires revising the Limitations Section of the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) for your airplane, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
(1) Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2023-0038, dated February 14, 2023 (EASA AD 2023-0038).
(2) The actions required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD may be performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot certificate and must be entered into the aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9(a) and 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439.
(1) Where EASA AD 2023-0038 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2023-0038 specifies to “amend the AFM by inserting a copy of the AFM TR,” this AD requires replacing those words with “revise the Limitations Section of the existing AFM for your airplane by inserting a copy of the AFM TR as defined in EASA AD 2023-0038.”
(3) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2023-0038 specifies to “inform all flight crews and, thereafter, operate the [airplane] accordingly,” this AD does not require those actions.
(4) This AD does not adopt the Remarks paragraph of EASA AD 2023-0038.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
