  • 2025-06561 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 16082
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule regarding a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model AS332L helicopters. This rule requires changes to the maintenance manuals to incorporate more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). These updates are intended to prevent the failure of critical parts that could lead to a loss of helicopter control. The rule becomes effective on May 2, 2025, but the FAA is open to receiving comments until June 2, 2025. There are no costs associated with compliance since these helicopters are not currently registered in the U.S.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making a new rule for some helicopters to keep them safe by following stricter rules on how they are checked and fixed up. Even though these helicopters aren't flying in the U.S. right now, they want to be ready just in case.

  • 2024-28436 — Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 96618
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule that would affect General Electric Model CT7-2E1 engines. This is due to a study that found the part known as the stage 2 turbine aft cooling plate may not last as long as previously thought. The proposed rule requires reducing the life limit for this part from 6,100 to 3,100 cycles to prevent possible engine failure, which could lead to airplane damage. The FAA is accepting comments on the proposal until January 21, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make a new rule for airplane engines made by GE because a part inside might not last as long as they first thought. They suggest changing its safety rules so the part gets checked or replaced sooner, from 6,100 to 3,100 times it's used, to keep planes safe.
