    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has made a new rule to keep certain airplanes safe by updating some important rules they must follow, just like how a car needs regular check-ups to stay safe. These updates will help make sure the planes are strong enough and won't break, and they need to follow these rules by the end of March 2021.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule for all ATR-GIE Avions de Transport RĂ©gional Model ATR72 airplanes due to reports of a main landing gear hinge pin failure. This rule mandates replacing faulty parts and bars the installation of defective ones, following a directive from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. The AD aims to prevent potential structural failures that could endanger airplanes and their passengers. It affects 41 US-registered planes and takes effect on April 4, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made new rules to fix a part on some big airplanes because a piece on the plane's wheels might break. This stops it from breaking in the future and keeps everyone safe.
