What could be a consequence of failing to comply with ADs and SBs?

ADs and SBs are actions aimed at maintaining aircraft safety. Airworthiness Directives are legally enforceable requirements issued by the aviation authority to correct an unsafe condition in an aircraft or its components; Service Bulletins are manufacturer recommendations that can become mandatory if an AD or regulatory directive references them or if the operator adopts them as required. When these directives aren’t followed, the aircraft is no longer considered airworthy, meaning it cannot be legally operated until the required work is done. The authorities can take enforcement actions such as penalties, suspension or revocation of certifications, and grounding of the aircraft until compliance is achieved. This is why noncompliance carries real safety and legal consequences.
