The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) targeting various Airbus Defense and Space S.A. airplane models. This directive was triggered by a torn bulkhead seal that caused the nose landing gear emergency cable pulley to become jammed. The same issue could potentially affect the main landing gear. The AD mandates recurrent inspections and part replacements to ensure these components remain damage-free, aiming to prevent potential aircraft damage and passenger injury due to landing gear malfunctions.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is enforcing a new airworthiness directive for certain models of General Electric turbofan engines due to a reported crack in the outer fuel manifold leading to fuel leakage.
