This proposed rule wants to add new, stricter maintenance and inspection requirements due to concerns about the safety risks from aging aircraft systems. These changes are based on recommendations by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and will replace some previous maintenance instructions. The public can comment on this proposal until May 9, 2025.
