    The FAA has issued a new rule replacing previous airworthiness directives for ATR72 airplanes. This rule mandates incorporating updated airworthiness limitations to prevent fatigue cracking that could compromise the airplane's structure. The updated limitations are based on European Union Aviation Safety Agency guidelines and apply to certain ATR72 models, excluding those with certificates issued after December 12, 2019. The new requirements must be implemented by March 31, 2021, with specified compliance details and options for alternative approaches.
