  • 2025-07573 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 18774
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new safety directive for Airbus Helicopters models SA341G and SA342J, requiring regular inspections and potential replacements of certain drive shafts due to corrosion concerns. This directive aims to prevent the failure of tail rotor drives that could lead to helicopter control loss. The directive, coming into effect on June 6, 2025, aligns with European safety actions but does not require certain reporting to manufacturers. The directive estimates costs for compliance, including inspection and part replacement, for helicopters registered in the U.S.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is telling helicopter owners to check some parts on their helicopters to make sure they aren't rusty, because if the parts are too rusty, the helicopter could stop working properly and that might be dangerous.

    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The FAA is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus Helicopters models SA341G and SA342J. This is in response to reports of corrosion on components related to the tail rotor drive shaft, which could lead to loss of control. The proposed rule would require regular inspections and possible replacements of these parts. Comments on this proposal are due by March 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some Airbus helicopters are safe by checking for rust on certain parts that help make them fly. Rusty parts could be dangerous, so the rule says these parts should be checked often and maybe replaced.
