  • 2025-05294 — 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 14017
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The FAA has issued a final rule requiring inspections for certain Airbus Canada Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes due to insufficient clearance between fire extinguishing system lines and fasteners, which could lead to a failure in the fire extinguishing system. This rule, effective May 2, 2025, mandates inspections and corrective actions to prevent a possible unsafe condition caused by the fouling of fire extinguishing lines, as outlined in an airworthiness directive from Transport Canada. The FAA addressed comments received during rulemaking and clarified part number corrections and compliance timelines.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has made a new rule saying some airplanes need checking because there might be a problem with how the fire safety parts are set up, which could be dangerous, and they want to make sure everything is safe.

  • 2021-01744 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10498
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for specific Airbus SAS Model A330-200 Freighter airplanes due to reports of broken brackets in the fire extinguishing system. This issue, caused by fatigue cracks from dynamic loading, could reduce fire suppression capability in the lower deck cargo compartment. The proposal requires the replacement of affected brackets and struts with reinforced versions, in line with instructions from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Comments on this proposal must be submitted by April 8, 2021, to address this potential safety hazard.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to fix a problem in some of Airbus's cargo airplanes because parts holding the fire extinguisher can break, which might make it harder to stop fires. They are asking people what they think about changing these parts to stronger ones to keep everyone safe.
