  • 2025-02828 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9955
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule for Airbus SAS Model A350-941 airplanes after discovering anodic burns on the landing gear axles. This rule requires replacing the affected axles and stopping the use of parts with these defects to prevent potential structural failures. Public comments on this proposal must be submitted by April 7, 2025. This regulation aligns with a European Union Aviation Safety Agency directive and aims to ensure the safe operation of these airplanes.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure Airbus planes are safe by fixing a problem with the landing gear, like replacing some parts to keep them from breaking. People who fly or work with these planes can tell the FAA what they think about this plan until April 7, 2025.

  • 2025-02188 — Airworthiness Directives; DAHER AEROSPACE (Type Certificate Previously Held by SOCATA) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8903
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Daher Aerospace Model TBM 700 airplanes due to reports of wear in the inner flap actuator drive nut. This directive requires operators to clean and lubricate the internal actuator rods, and measure and replace the drive nuts if necessary, to maintain the airplane's safety and control. The AD is effective March 11, 2025, and aims to prevent potential loss of flap control, which could lead to reduced or loss of control of the airplane.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA realized that certain toy airplanes might have a loose screw part that could stop their wings from moving properly. They made a rule saying people need to check and fix this screw part by next spring, so the toy airplanes fly safely and don't lose control.
