  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 97572
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change some airplane paths in the sky because they are turning off a guiding tool near Bradford, Illinois, and they are asking people to share their thoughts about it.

  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11657
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make some changes to how a certain helicopter part is checked and fixed so that flying is safer. They are asking people what they think about this idea before they make a final decision.

  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 6841
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some Airbus planes stay safe because a small part in the emergency door wasn’t staying in place. To fix this, they want people to check the planes regularly, and if something's wrong, fix it.

  • Type:Proposed Rule

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to use a different way to count how many times some parts inside certain airplane engines work, because the current system might not count correctly, and this could be unsafe. They want to make sure the counting is right to prevent any problems.

  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 12501
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of airplane safety want to make sure that an important part in some flying machines is better and safer. They are asking people to tell them if they agree with their plan by a certain date.

  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 107063
    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants airplanes to be checked regularly for cracks and rust in certain parts to keep them safe. People can share their thoughts on this plan until early next year.

  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8001
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of flying want to change the invisible "lines" in the sky around Bozeman Airport to make flying safer and easier by making the spaces for planes bigger and keeping the rules clear for pilots up in the air. They are asking everyone to tell them what they think about these changes before they decide what to do.
