The FAA has issued a final rule requiring inspections for certain Airbus Canada Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes due to insufficient clearance between fire extinguishing system lines and fasteners, which could lead to a failure in the fire extinguishing system. This rule, effective May 2, 2025, mandates inspections and corrective actions to prevent a possible unsafe condition caused by the fouling of fire extinguishing lines, as outlined in an airworthiness directive from Transport Canada. The FAA addressed comments received during rulemaking and clarified part number corrections and compliance timelines.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership airplanes. This directive aims to address corrosion issues on parts of the rear fuselage caused by waste valve leaks, which could lead to major structural damage. The proposal includes mandatory inspections and repairs as per guidelines from Transport Canada. The FAA is open to comments on this proposal until April 12, 2021.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Model BD-500 airplanes, effective January 13, 2025. This directive was prompted by problems with the locking mechanism on pilot and co-pilot seats, which could increase crew workload during flight. The AD requires modifications to these seats to prevent such issues, in alignment with Transport Canada's regulations. Comments from aviation companies like Collins Aerospace and Delta Airlines were considered, but the FAA decided not to make changes based on those suggestions.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada airplanes, prompted by a discovery during testing that some environmental control system (ECS) ducts do not meet flammability standards. The proposed AD requires inspections for these ECS ducts and the installation of a fire-resistant sleeve if necessary. Feedback is being requested by March 31, 2025, and the directives aim to address potential safety risks related to these non-compliant components. The plan includes incorporating requirements from a related Transport Canada directive.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has enacted a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Canada Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. This directive was issued in response to revised operational loads identified in aircraft design reviews that could impact structural integrity. The AD requires using updated repair manuals and reassessing previous repairs to ensure aircraft safety. Effective April 15, 2025, this action is based on a related directive by Transport Canada and aims to prevent potential structural issues during flight.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive for certain Airbus Canada airplanes, due to concerns about electrical bonding resistance caused by a change in the material of a connector component. This new rule would require testing and possibly installing additional components to ensure the planes are not at risk from electromagnetic interference or lightning. The FAA aims to address this safety issue as identified by Transport Canada. Comments on this proposal are welcome until April 7, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for specific Airbus Canada airplanes due to software issues in their flight control systems. The directive requires a software update to ensure safe flight and landing by correcting problems with the primary flight control computer and remote electronics unit. The FAA invites public comments on this proposal, which must be submitted by April 12, 2021, and will consider any feedback before finalizing the rule. This proposal is based on a related Canadian directive addressing these safety concerns.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a final rule that updates a previous Airworthiness Directive (AD) for specific Airbus Canada airplanes. The new AD requires airlines to update their maintenance or inspection programs to include stricter safety limits, addressing potential structural weaknesses or control issues with the aircraft. This rule aims to improve aviation safety and applies to certain models of Airbus Canada Limited Partnership airplanes that meet specific criteria. The changes are part of the FAA's ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of air travel.
