  • 2025-01728 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8505
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric engines. This proposal aims to replace specific high-pressure turbine (HPT) disks due to potential iron inclusions, which could lead to fractures and uncontained engine failure. The proposed directive is intended to ensure the safety of these engines by mandating the replacement of affected parts. The FAA invites public comments on this proposal until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants some airplane engines to get new parts because the old ones might have little bits of iron that could make the engines break. They're asking people to share their thoughts about this until March 17, 2025.

  • 2025-06420 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 15926
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that updates and replaces two previous airworthiness directives for certain General Electric aircraft engines. This rule requires airlines to update the onboard engine control software to a new version that addresses potential safety issues. It continues to prohibit the flight of an airplane if certain alerts are shown, and mandates the replacement of specific engine control components to ensure safe engine operations. The decision follows feedback from several industry stakeholders, including pilots' associations and airline companies.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA told airlines they have to update their plane engines' computer software to keep them flying safely and fix any warning signs they might show, making sure everything works right, just like when you update your tablet to make it run better and safer.

  • 2025-01458 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 7998
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a change to its earlier rule suggestion regarding General Electric (GE) engines, specifically adding more models to the list of those affected. This proposal aims to prevent unsafe conditions that could happen due to part failures in certain engines, which might lead to engine separation and airplane loss. The FAA is looking for public feedback on this updated proposal by March 10, 2025, and it describes methods for inspecting and repairing the engines to ensure safety.

    Simple Explanation

    The document is about airplane engines made by GE, and the FAA wants to make sure they are safe by checking some parts that might break. They are asking people to tell them what they think about this plan before March 10, 2025.

  • 2025-03383 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11120
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule concerning certain General Electric (GE) aircraft engines. It requires the replacement of specific cooling plates on these engines because they may not meet safety guidelines, potentially leading to an unsafe condition. This rule affects 228 engines in the U.S. registry and aims to prevent possible engine failures that could lead to damage. The rule will be effective from April 8, 2025, ensuring that planes equipped with these engines continue to operate safely.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change some engine parts on certain airplanes to make sure they work safely. They found that some parts might not work as they should, so replacing them will help prevent any problems while flying.

  • 2024-30785 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 105483
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric engines used in airplanes. This action is due to concerns about a part called the combustion chamber assembly (CCA) which may fail sooner than expected. To prevent this, the FAA wants regular inspections and timely replacements of this component. They are seeking public comments on this proposal until February 10, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain airplane engines are safe, so they're suggesting a rule to check and possibly replace a part inside the engines, like a doctor checking and fixing a toy to make sure it doesn't break. They're asking for people's thoughts on this idea until February 2025.

  • 2024-28436 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 96618
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule that would affect General Electric Model CT7-2E1 engines. This is due to a study that found the part known as the stage 2 turbine aft cooling plate may not last as long as previously thought. The proposed rule requires reducing the life limit for this part from 6,100 to 3,100 cycles to prevent possible engine failure, which could lead to airplane damage. The FAA is accepting comments on the proposal until January 21, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make a new rule for airplane engines made by GE because a part inside might not last as long as they first thought. They suggest changing its safety rules so the part gets checked or replaced sooner, from 6,100 to 3,100 times it's used, to keep planes safe.

  • 2025-02016 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8687
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for specific General Electric (GE) aircraft engines due to a manufacturing issue that risks engine failure. This directive aims to replace certain turbine disks, which were made from metal containing possibly harmful iron inclusions. If the affected parts are not replaced, there could be catastrophic engine damage. Comments on this proposed rule are open until March 17, 2025, allowing stakeholders to provide their input.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure that airplane engines made by General Electric are safe, so they are asking to replace some engine parts that might break because of a mistake in how they were made. People can share their thoughts on this rule until March 17, 2025.
