  • 2021-01623 — Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-76A, S-76B, and S-76C Helicopters Modified by Supplemental Type Certificate SR09211RC
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10504
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has withdrawn a proposed rule that would have required changes to certain Sikorsky model helicopters. This decision was made because the issue that prompted the rule, a faulty life raft deployment handle, has been addressed by replacing all the affected handles. The original rule was intended to prevent a handle malfunction that could stop the life raft from deploying in emergencies. The FAA confirmed no public comments were received about the rule or its cost, and they concluded that the rule is no longer necessary.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA decided not to make new rules about fixing a handle on some helicopters because all the broken handles have already been fixed. They checked and found out the problem is already solved.

    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has decided to withdraw proposals for changes to safety inspections for certain Cessna aircraft, now under Textron Aviation Inc., Models 310, 320, 401, 402, 411, and 421. The proposed rule changes, initially published in 1990 and updated in 1998, aimed to replace old fuel and oil hoses with newer designs but are now considered unnecessary because no issues have been reported with the current inspections. This decision does not prevent future regulation changes on the matter.

    Simple Explanation

    The airplane checker people decided not to change the rules about checking certain parts of some old Cessna planes because, after checking, they found no problems with the parts as they are.
