    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 14019
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) targeting certain ATR42-500 and ATR72-212A airplanes made by ATR-GIE Avions de Transport RĂ©gional. This action comes following reports of potential use of incorrect materials in key airplane parts, which could compromise the structural integrity of these aircraft. The directive, effective May 2, 2025, demands thorough inspections, necessary repairs, and replacement of certain parts to ensure safety, in alignment with a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) directive. The FAA has evaluated the situation and decided that these steps are essential for maintaining safe conditions.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is asking for special checks on some airplanes because parts might not be as strong as they should be, and these checks must happen before they can keep flying safely.

  • 2025-02204 — Airworthiness Directives; CFM International, S.A. Engines
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8889
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule concerning certain CFM International Model LEAP-1A and LEAP-1C engines. This rule stems from investigations following an in-flight incident involving engine failure due to a defective part, specifically the high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor interstage seal. The directive mandates the removal and replacement of certain HPT rotor interstage seals and prohibits their reinstallation to ensure safety. The rule aims to prevent potential engine failures and maintain aviation safety standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making a new rule because some airplane engines might have a broken part that can cause the engine to stop working during a flight. They want to make sure airplanes stay safe by replacing the broken part and not using it again.
