  • 2025-02505 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9526
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada airplanes, prompted by a discovery during testing that some environmental control system (ECS) ducts do not meet flammability standards. The proposed AD requires inspections for these ECS ducts and the installation of a fire-resistant sleeve if necessary. Feedback is being requested by March 31, 2025, and the directives aim to address potential safety risks related to these non-compliant components. The plan includes incorporating requirements from a related Transport Canada directive.

    Simple Explanation

    The airplane helpers found out that some parts weren't safe like they should be, so they want to check these parts and cover them to make sure they don't catch fire. They are asking people what they think about these plans to keep airplanes safer.

  • 2025-02646 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9602
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a new rule affecting certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership airplanes due to issues with a component called the horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA). This new rule requires using an improved method for lubricating the HSTA, as some airplanes experienced jams caused by water intrusion and freezing, potentially leading to loss of control. The rule aims to align with a related Transport Canada directive, and it takes effect on March 21, 2025. The FAA reviewed comments on the proposed rule and made some clarifications but hasn't changed the main requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made a new rule for some airplanes because a part called the horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA) can freeze and get stuck, which might make the plane hard to control. The rule says it's important to use a better way to keep this part lubricated to stay safe.
