  • 2025-02494 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9286
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a new rule affecting certain Airbus SAS airplanes based on reports of incorrect information about trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuators (THSAs). This rule mandates contacting Collins Aerospace for updated certificates and potentially replacing the affected parts to ensure safety. The FAA has implemented this rule without the usual public comment period due to the immediate safety concern, requiring compliance to prevent potential aircraft control problems. Public comments are still welcome until March 28, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made a new rule for some airplanes because a part used to help them fly straight might have wrong information on it. They need to check and fix this to keep everyone safe.

  • 2021-03866 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11664
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposal is driven by the need for updated airworthiness limitations to ensure airplane safety. Affected operators would need to update their maintenance or inspection programs accordingly within a specified time. The proposed changes aim to maintain the structural integrity of these airplanes and include a call for feedback from the public by April 12, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to set new safety rules for some Airbus airplanes to keep them safe, so they’re asking airplane companies to do extra checks and fix-ups. People can tell the FAA what they think about these new rules until April 12, 2021.

  • 2025-03859 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11662
    Reading Time:about 24 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making sure certain airplanes stay safe by checking and updating the rules on how they are fixed, just like how kids need to use the latest instructions to build their LEGO sets correctly.
