  • 2025-03988 — Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Engines
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11897
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The FAA has issued a new Airworthiness Directive (AD) that updates previous requirements for Rolls-Royce Trent7000-72 and Trent7000-72C engines. This rule comes after the manufacturer updated its maintenance manual to include stricter inspection tasks and time limits for engine parts that have a limited lifespan. The goal of the directive is to prevent engine failures that could potentially lead to loss of aircraft control. Compliance with this AD will become mandatory starting April 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made new rules for Rolls-Royce airplane engines to keep them safe by checking them more often so they don't break in the sky. Starting in April 2025, everyone has to follow these new rules to make sure the engines work well and planes don't fall.

  • 2024-30785 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 105483
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric engines used in airplanes. This action is due to concerns about a part called the combustion chamber assembly (CCA) which may fail sooner than expected. To prevent this, the FAA wants regular inspections and timely replacements of this component. They are seeking public comments on this proposal until February 10, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain airplane engines are safe, so they're suggesting a rule to check and possibly replace a part inside the engines, like a doctor checking and fixing a toy to make sure it doesn't break. They're asking for people's thoughts on this idea until February 2025.

  • 2025-01458 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 7998
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a change to its earlier rule suggestion regarding General Electric (GE) engines, specifically adding more models to the list of those affected. This proposal aims to prevent unsafe conditions that could happen due to part failures in certain engines, which might lead to engine separation and airplane loss. The FAA is looking for public feedback on this updated proposal by March 10, 2025, and it describes methods for inspecting and repairing the engines to ensure safety.

    Simple Explanation

    The document is about airplane engines made by GE, and the FAA wants to make sure they are safe by checking some parts that might break. They are asking people to tell them what they think about this plan before March 10, 2025.

  • 2024-28094 — Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Engines
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 95088
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new Airworthiness Directive (AD) that affects certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Model Trent 1000 engines. This rule replaces a previous AD and requires updates to the airworthiness limitation section of an aircraft's maintenance program to prevent engine failures. The change, prompted by updates in the manufacturer's time limits manual, aims to address safety concerns by introducing stricter maintenance tasks and limits. This directive becomes effective on January 6, 2025, and is based on cooperation and standards with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made new rules for fixing airplane engines to stop them from breaking. They want the airplane owners to check and fix their engines more often, starting from January 6, 2025.

  • 2025-04441 — Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Engines
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 12679
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. engines, specifically the PW535E and PW535E1 models. This directive is in response to findings from a design review that showed some bolts on the engines might crack due to low-cycle fatigue, which poses a safety risk. The AD mandates routine inspections and potential replacements of these bolts to prevent any danger to the aircraft. Compliance with these rules is required by April 23, 2025, and aims to ensure the continued safe operation of aircraft using these engines.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA says some airplanes with certain engines have bolts that might break from being used too much, so they need to be checked and maybe replaced by April 23, 2025, to keep flying safely.
