Is AD 2024-25977 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2024-25977 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2024-25977 apply to?

AD 2024-25977 applies to Airbus Canada Limited Partnership — models BD-500-1A10, BD-500-1A11, BD-500. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-09- 03, which applied to certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2021-09-03 required repetitive replacements of the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) antenna and repetitive inspections of the exterior fuselage skin around the ELT antenna attachment area. This AD was prompted by a report that there was an in-service failure of an ELT antenna that occurred before the repetitive replacement interval required by AD 2021-09-03, and that a terminating action was developed. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2021-09-03 and requires replacement of the ELT antenna with a new ELT antenna, inspection of the exterior fuselage skin around the ELT antenna attachment holes, and repair if necessary; as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Type Certificate previously held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc. Applies to airplanes as identified in Transport Canada AD CF-2022-67, dated December 6, 2022.

Whether AD 2024-25977 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
