The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain Airbus Helicopters models due to reports of significant wear in specific parts of the helicopter. This proposal requires measuring wear in these parts and taking corrective actions based on the results. The proposal also includes a prohibition on installing certain parts unless specific conditions are met. The directive aims to address safety concerns and ensure the continued safe operation of these helicopters.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure some helicopters are safe because certain parts might be getting too worn out. They plan to check these parts and fix them if needed, and they won't put new parts in unless they know they're safe.
