Type:Proposed Rule
Citation:89 FR 105483
Reading Time:about 10 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric engines used in airplanes. This action is due to concerns about a part called the combustion chamber assembly (CCA) which may fail sooner than expected. To prevent this, the FAA wants regular inspections and timely replacements of this component. They are seeking public comments on this proposal until February 10, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure certain airplane engines are safe, so they're suggesting a rule to check and possibly replace a part inside the engines, like a doctor checking and fixing a toy to make sure it doesn't break. They're asking for people's thoughts on this idea until February 2025.
