Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-23155 · Navigation system
Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes
This AD applies to Pilatus Aircraft Ltd Model PC-24 airplanes, 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 a report of an inaccurate flight director calculation on approach. This AD requires incorporating a temporary revision into the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) for the affected airplanes, which revises the Abnormal Procedures Section. 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 AD 2024-0240, dated December 10, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0240).
(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 2024-0240 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2024-0240 specifies to implement the AFM-TR, this AD requires revising the Abnormal Procedures Section of the existing AFM for your airplane by inserting a copy of the AFM-TR as defined in EASA AD 2024-0240.
(3) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2024-0240 specifies to inform all flight crews and, thereafter, operate the [airplane] accordingly, this AD does not require those actions as those actions are already required by existing FAA regulations (see 14 CFR 91.9, 91.505, and 135.21).
(4) This AD does not adopt the Remarks section of EASA AD 2024-0240.
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.
