  • 2024-28787 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Defense and Space S.A. (Formerly Known as Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 97492
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is updating a previous Airworthiness Directive (AD) on certain Airbus Defense and Space S.A. airplanes due to new findings of cracks. This update requires repeated inspections of specific rear attachment fittings and changes the criteria for its applicability. The directive aims to ensure the safety of affected airplanes by preventing issues that could impact their structural integrity and controllability. This rule will be effective from January 13, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making sure certain airplanes are safe by checking if parts are cracked and need fixing, so they don't break when flying. This rule helps to keep the airplanes safe and flying smoothly by asking for repeated checks starting January 13, 2025.

  • 2021-03570 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Defense and Space S.A. (Formerly Known as Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10740
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule for a new airworthiness directive affecting all Airbus Defense and Space S.A. CN-235 and C-295 airplanes. This rule is in response to cracks found in specific parts of the fuselage, which could reduce the aircraft's structural integrity. The directive requires regular inspections and necessary repairs for these areas, following the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA) guidelines. The rule is intended to ensure the continued safety and airworthiness of these aircraft models.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain airplanes are safe because they found cracks in some parts. So, they're telling people who fly these planes to check them often and fix them if needed.

  • 2025-00146 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Defense and Space S.A. (Formerly Known as Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1359
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) targeting various Airbus Defense and Space S.A. airplane models. This directive was triggered by a torn bulkhead seal that caused the nose landing gear emergency cable pulley to become jammed. The same issue could potentially affect the main landing gear. The AD mandates recurrent inspections and part replacements to ensure these components remain damage-free, aiming to prevent potential aircraft damage and passenger injury due to landing gear malfunctions.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has made a new rule for some Airbus airplanes because a part that helps the wheels go up and down could get stuck, which might be dangerous. So, they'll keep checking and fixing these parts to make sure everything works safely.
