  • 2024-28790 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 97505
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule that updates airworthiness directives for Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 airplanes. This rule, taking effect on January 13, 2025, requires aircraft operators to update their maintenance or inspection programs with more restrictive safety measures as specified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The updated requirements address the risks associated with aging aircraft systems to prevent possible failures of vital parts and ensure the structural integrity of the airplanes. The FAA estimates that these changes will cost about $7,650 per operator for implementation, based on 90 work-hours required per operator.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made a new rule that makes sure certain Airbus airplanes are safer to fly by having stricter check-ups and repairs. This will help keep the airplanes strong so they don’t break or have problems while flying.

  • 2021-03866 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11664
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposal is driven by the need for updated airworthiness limitations to ensure airplane safety. Affected operators would need to update their maintenance or inspection programs accordingly within a specified time. The proposed changes aim to maintain the structural integrity of these airplanes and include a call for feedback from the public by April 12, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to set new safety rules for some Airbus airplanes to keep them safe, so they’re asking airplane companies to do extra checks and fix-ups. People can tell the FAA what they think about these new rules until April 12, 2021.
