ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Textron Aviation, Inc., Model 525B airplanes. This AD was prompted by the manufacturer's revision of the aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) to introduce more restrictive inspection intervals.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Textron Aviation, Inc., Model 525B airplanes. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2025 (90 FR 54599). The NPRM was prompted by notification to the FAA by Textron Aviation that the existing Model 525B AMM contained incorrect inspection intervals for airworthiness limitation tasks for Chapter 54—Nacelle/Pylons and Chapter 55—Stabilizers. The incorrect inspection intervals were introduced during a technical manual update. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the ALS of the existing AMM or ICA and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent undetected cracks in the engine mount and vertical stabilizer front and rear spar caps. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in reduced structural integrity and ( printed page 5284) consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received a comment from Capital City Jet Center. The commenter had no objection to the NPRM. Conclusion The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe conditions on these products. Except for minor editorial corrections, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD affects 601 airplanes of U.S. registry. The F…
