    This document is a correction to a previously published rule by the Federal Aviation Administration in the Department of Transportation. The correction changes the effective date in the rule from "April 18, 3036" to "April 16, 2025." Additionally, it corrects a section reference for airworthiness directives for De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited airplanes. The corrected effective date for the directive is April 16, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Aviation Administration made a mistake in the date for a safety rule about airplanes. They originally said the rule would start in the year 3036, which is way in the future by mistake, so they fixed it to say the rule starts on April 16, 2025, instead.

  • Type:Proposed Rule

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to address safety concerns with certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This proposed rule seeks to replace an earlier Airworthiness Directive (AD) from 2015. The new rule would require modifications to the nose wheel steering (NWS) system to prevent issues that could cause the airplane to veer off the runway. The public is invited to submit comments on this proposal until April 12, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make some changes to a part of certain airplanes called the nose wheel steering system. This new rule is to make sure the airplanes don’t accidentally go the wrong way on the runway, and people can tell the FAA what they think about this rule until April 12, 2021.
