    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule for a new airworthiness directive affecting all Airbus Defense and Space S.A. CN-235 and C-295 airplanes. This rule is in response to cracks found in specific parts of the fuselage, which could reduce the aircraft's structural integrity. The directive requires regular inspections and necessary repairs for these areas, following the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA) guidelines. The rule is intended to ensure the continued safety and airworthiness of these aircraft models.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain airplanes are safe because they found cracks in some parts. So, they're telling people who fly these planes to check them often and fix them if needed.
