Reading Time:about 13 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule that would require changes to maintenance programs for certain MHI RJ Aviation airplanes, previously certified under Bombardier. The rule stems from Canada's findings that new, stricter maintenance tasks are needed to ensure the airplanes remain safe. The FAA is asking for public comments on the proposal by April 21, 2025. This proposed rule aims to prevent reduced structural integrity and airplane controllability by updating the maintenance programs based on Canadian regulations.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure some planes are safer by changing how they get fixed and checked. They are asking people to share what they think about this idea.
