  • 2025-02947 — Airworthiness Directives; ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional Airplanes
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 10465
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for specific models of ATR72 airplanes. This AD aims to incorporate updated safety requirements from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) by revising current maintenance or inspection programs. It addresses a potential safety hazard where the chemical oxygen mask release system might fail, possibly endangering passengers and crew. Feedback on this proposal is invited from the public until April 10, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some airplanes are extra safe by using new European airplane rules, so they want to change how they check and fix them, especially the oxygen masks that help people breathe in emergencies. The public can tell the FAA what they think about this idea until April 10, 2025.

    Type:Rule

    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has updated an existing airworthiness directive for certain ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional airplanes. This update involves adding more restrictive maintenance or inspection requirements to ensure these airplanes remain safe to fly. The decision to supersede the previous rule came after determining that these additional precautions were needed due to potential risks such as fatigue cracking. The FAA aims to tackle these potential safety issues to maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has told some airplanes to check up more often and fix certain parts to make sure they are always safe to fly, protecting people inside from parts that might get too tired and crack. They're doing this because they found out that these airplanes need extra care to stay strong and safe.
