The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing changes to some Jet Routes and VOR Federal Airways to accommodate the planned decommissioning of a VOR navigational aid near Bradford, Illinois. This involves amending routes like J-26 and V-156, and revoking V-262 entirely. The changes are part of the FAA's effort to maintain a safe and efficient National Airspace System. The agency invites public comments on the proposed rule by January 23, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to replace an older Airworthiness Directive (AD) from 2010 for Airbus Helicopters, previously Eurocopter France, Model SA330J helicopters. This new rule aims to improve aircraft safety by requiring an inspection and potential replacement of the main gearbox oil cooling fan rotor shaft bearings with an updated design developed by Airbus. These actions are intended to prevent possible rotor failure, which could lead to damage and loss of control of the helicopter. The FAA is inviting public comments on this proposed rule by April 12, 2021.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A321-251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes. This proposal comes after discovering that bushes had migrated on the latch shaft of an emergency exit door, which could affect the structural integrity of the aircraft. The proposed AD requires detailed inspections of the affected parts and modifications if discrepancies are found. The FAA invites public comments on this proposal by March 7, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive aimed at certain models of turboshaft engines produced by Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. This directive is a response to a potential issue where the Automated Damage Tracking System may underestimate the number of cycles completed by critical engine components, which might lead to their premature failure. To address this, the FAA is proposing to replace the automated system with a manual cycle-counting method to ensure accuracy. The FAA is inviting comments on this proposal until April 12, 2021, as part of efforts to enhance aviation safety and prevent any unsafe conditions related to these engines.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule to update previous regulations for certain Airbus SAS Model A350 airplanes. This rule would require replacing older oxygen cylinder assemblies with improved ones to prevent possible safety issues, such as fires during ground testing. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposal by May 2, 2025, and they emphasize the need for compliance with the guidelines set by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The aim is to address and correct unsafe conditions in these Airbus models effectively.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for various Airbus SAS airplanes due to corrosion and cracks found on the broadband antenna adapter plate. The directive requires regular inspections and limits the installation of certain parts to ensure safety. This action stems from a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) directive aimed at preventing potential in-flight issues that could affect aircraft control. Public comments on the proposal are invited until February 14, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a rule to modify several airspace classifications at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in Bozeman, Montana. These modifications to Class D and Class E airspaces aim to improve safety and management of flight operations using both visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR). The proposed changes would involve expanding certain airspace areas, realigning specific extensions, and updating documentation. Public comments on this proposal are invited until March 10, 2025.
