  • 2024-28786 — Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 97507
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a rule requiring certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC airplanes to replace overhead bin hook assemblies and support tubes. This decision was made because the current attachments may fail in emergency situations, risking the overhead bins falling and blocking exits. The rule was prompted by a directive from Transport Canada and will take effect on January 13, 2025. The FAA has also updated cost estimates and referenced additional installation guidance documents.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA says some airplanes need new parts so the bins above your seat don't fall down and block the way if there's an emergency. They want this change by January 2025 to keep everyone safe.

  • 2024-28130 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP)) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 95098
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule that affects certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership airplanes, models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11. This rule responds to reports of incorrectly installed fuel line assemblies, which could lead to fuel leaks and pose a fire risk. The rule requires inspecting these fuel line assemblies and making necessary repairs as detailed in a Transport Canada directive. The aim is to ensure the safety and reliability of these aircrafts by addressing this potential hazard.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made a new rule to check and fix some parts in specific airplane models because they might have been put in wrong, which could cause fuel leaks and fires. They want to make sure the planes are super safe, but the document explaining this is a bit complicated and doesn't say exactly how much it will cost to fix the issue.

  • 2024-29302 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 100923
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule concerning Airbus Canada Limited Partnership aircraft models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11. This proposed rule is in response to a design review that identified a problem with the software protection logic related to engine bleed duct leaks, which could lead to a dual engine failure. The proposal requires changes to the airplane flight manual to ensure that flight crews can manually isolate the opposite engine in case of a large leak. Comments on this proposal are requested by January 27, 2025, to address the identified safety issue effectively.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change a rule for some airplanes made by Airbus Canada because they found a problem with the software that helps manage air leaks in the engines, and this change will help pilots manage leaks safely. They are asking people to share their thoughts on this idea by January 27, 2025.

  • 2025-03880 — Airworthiness Directives; De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11800
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has updated a previous airworthiness directive concerning certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited models. This update includes an inspection for corrosion on specific airplane parts, with corrective actions to prevent potential landing gear failures. The change aims to address issues with airline operators identifying affected airplanes and revises requirements to improve safety. The rule becomes effective on April 18, 3036, and has been approved in conjunction with Canada's aviation authority.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain airplanes are safe by checking and fixing some parts that could get rusty, but they need to fix a few things, like a silly future date and explain why one type of airplane isn't included anymore.

  • 2025-02374 — Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9212
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule requiring new safety inspections for MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 airplanes, due to ultrasonic inspections potentially missing cracks in certain areas. The rule, effective March 17, 2025, mandates repeated ultrasonic inspections and repairs for cracking in specific structural parts. These measures aim to prevent structural failures stemming from undetected cracks. The rule incorporates standards from a related Transport Canada directive and requires using updated inspection procedures.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA says there are some airplanes that need special checks to make sure they don't have cracks that could lead to bigger problems, like pieces breaking. They want these checks done regularly and in a specific way to keep everything safe.

  • 2025-02727 — Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9879
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has proposed a new airworthiness directive for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC airplanes due to a safety issue with the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) impact switch being installed incorrectly. This incorrect installation could lead to loss of critical data in an accident. The proposed directive requires inspections and corrections to ensure the switch is installed correctly to maintain flight safety. Interested parties have until April 7, 2025, to comment on the proposal.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine if your voice recorder was put in your toy car the wrong way, and it couldn't tell stories if something happened. The grown-ups who take care of airplanes want to make sure all the airplane voice recorders are put in correctly so they always work properly, and people have time until a certain day to share their thoughts about this.

    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11239
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule that would require changes to maintenance programs for certain MHI RJ Aviation airplanes, previously certified under Bombardier. The rule stems from Canada's findings that new, stricter maintenance tasks are needed to ensure the airplanes remain safe. The FAA is asking for public comments on the proposal by April 21, 2025. This proposed rule aims to prevent reduced structural integrity and airplane controllability by updating the maintenance programs based on Canadian regulations.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some planes are safer by changing how they get fixed and checked. They are asking people to share what they think about this idea.
