Airworthiness Directive 2025-18-06
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-02- 14, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2020-02-14 required a one-time inspection of the oxygen containers and adjacent panels and applicable corrective actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-02-14, it was determined that additional airplanes may be affected by the same unsafe condition. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2020-02-14 and expands the applicability to include additional airplanes. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2025-18-06 applies to
Applies only to airplanes with manufacturer serial numbers (MSNs) listed in Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A35P015-19, Revision 01, dated June 19, 2019, and Airbus AOT A35P023-24, Revision 01, dated July 25, 2024.
Whether AD 2025-18-06 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:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
