  • 2024-30539 — Airworthiness Directives; CFM International, S.A. Engines
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104462
    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to amend the current Airworthiness Directive for specific CFM International, S.A. engines. This rule aims to replace more engine parts at risk due to issues with the material they were made from, which could lead to potential engine failure. The FAA is inviting public comments on this proposal by February 6, 2025, to ensure that new safety measures are properly evaluated and implemented.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change some engine parts on planes because they might break. They are asking for people's opinions to help make sure the planes stay safe.

  • 2025-02016 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8687
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for specific General Electric (GE) aircraft engines due to a manufacturing issue that risks engine failure. This directive aims to replace certain turbine disks, which were made from metal containing possibly harmful iron inclusions. If the affected parts are not replaced, there could be catastrophic engine damage. Comments on this proposed rule are open until March 17, 2025, allowing stakeholders to provide their input.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure that airplane engines made by General Electric are safe, so they are asking to replace some engine parts that might break because of a mistake in how they were made. People can share their thoughts on this rule until March 17, 2025.

  • 2025-03013 — Airworthiness Directives; Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Turbomeca, S.A.) Engines
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 10617
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Safran Helicopter Engines, Model ARRIUS 2B2. This proposal is in response to data indicating that a key engine component, the preference injector, may clog due to fuel coking, which could lead to engine failure and loss of helicopter control. The AD would require testing, possible replacement of the injector, and a software upgrade. The FAA invites public comments on this proposed rule by April 11, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain helicopter engines stay safe by checking and possibly fixing a part that could get clogged. They are asking people to share their thoughts about this plan until April 11, 2025.

  • 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.
