    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional Model ATR72-212A airplanes. This proposal was triggered by reports of an engine electrical control fault caused by chafing damage on an electrical harness bundle, which could lead to unsafe flying conditions. The directive would require alterations to the electrical harness routes and de-icing pipe coupling installations to prevent further issues. The FAA invites comments on this proposed rule by April 8, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make some changes to certain ATR airplanes because some wires got worn out and caused engine problems. They plan to fix these wires and invite people to share their thoughts about it by April 8, 2021.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) targeting certain ATR42-500 and ATR72-212A airplanes made by ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional. This action comes following reports of potential use of incorrect materials in key airplane parts, which could compromise the structural integrity of these aircraft. The directive, effective May 2, 2025, demands thorough inspections, necessary repairs, and replacement of certain parts to ensure safety, in alignment with a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) directive. The FAA has evaluated the situation and decided that these steps are essential for maintaining safe conditions.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is asking for special checks on some airplanes because parts might not be as strong as they should be, and these checks must happen before they can keep flying safely.
