    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 15417
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain Boeing 737 models. This proposal was triggered by an incident where a passenger could not exit a lavatory due to a broken latch. The directive requires these latches to be replaced with improved versions and bans the installation of the problematic parts. This action aims to ensure safety by preventing such incidents and possible injuries during emergencies.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is telling some Boeing airplanes to get their bathroom door locks fixed because they could break and trap people inside. They want new, better locks that won't break.

  • 2021-03569 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10733
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule for Airbus SAS airplanes, specifically models A318, A319, A320, and A321. This new rule is in response to laboratory tests highlighting issues with the lithium batteries in the emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) of these planes, which could lead to thermal runaway and battery fires. The rule mandates the installation of a diode to prevent this unsafe condition, addressing potential risks of local fires, airplane damage, and injuries to occupants. This directive ensures that all affected aircraft are compliant by a specific deadline and includes provisions for technical adaptations and modifications to existing equipment.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made a new rule for certain Airbus planes because a part that's supposed to help find the plane if it gets lost might catch fire. They are making sure a special piece will be added to stop the fire from happening, keeping everyone safe.

  • 2021-03499 — Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10770
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Piper Aircraft models PA-46-350P, PA-46R-350T, and PA-46-500TP. This directive addresses a safety issue involving the stall warning heat control system in certain aircraft. Some Piper airplanes have been found with wing assemblies lacking the proper heater modification, risking system failure during icy conditions. The AD mandates inspecting and correcting any nonconforming systems to ensure safe operations.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some Piper airplanes have heaters that work properly, so ice doesn't cause problems in the sky. They issued a rule telling people to check and fix the heaters if needed to keep flying safe.
