EASA airworthiness directives.
An airworthiness directive (AD) mandates actions that restore an aircraft, engine, propeller or appliance to a safe condition when an unsafe condition has been found. This list picks up new directives from the EASA database every hour. The text published by EASA is always the binding one. The “Light aviation” tab covers aeroplanes up to 5.7 t, sailplanes, balloons and their engines and propellers, and “Helicopters” covers light and medium helicopters and their engines. The full EASA list is under “All”.
