  • 2025-04440 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 12682
    Reading Time:about 18 minutes

    The FAA has issued a new airworthiness directive for Boeing 777 series airplanes due to reports of cracks in the upper wing skin. This directive mandates repetitive inspections using a specific high-frequency eddy current method to detect cracks around certain fasteners. The goal is to address potential safety issues that could lead to loss of airplane control if not corrected. The directive takes effect on April 23, 2025, and outlines compliance and repair procedures for the affected aircraft.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine if a big toy plane had a little crack on its wing that might get bigger. People who take care of real planes, like the Boeing 777, need to check for these cracks often so the plane stays safe to fly.

  • 2024-28125 — Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 95095
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier airplanes due to reports of missing or damaged inboard flap seal plate assemblies. This AD mandates repetitive inspections for cracks and the replacement of these parts to address a potential safety risk. It becomes effective January 6, 2025, and affects 43 aircraft registered in the United States. The directive aims to prevent the inboard flap seal plates from detaching during certain flight conditions, which could result in excessive vibration and damage to the airplane.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some Bombardier airplanes are safe to fly because a part on the wing might be broken or missing. They are telling people to check these parts regularly and fix them if needed, but it might cost money, and the rules might be a bit tricky to follow.

  • 2024-30549 — Airworthiness Directives; Deutsche Aircraft GmbH (Type Certificate Previously Held by 328 Support Services GmbH; AvCraft Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild Dornier GmbH; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH) Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104459
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to replace an earlier directive for Deutsche Aircraft GmbH Model 328-100 and 328-300 airplanes. The new directive requires not only an initial inspection of certain parts but also ongoing, repetitive inspections due to the risk of damage that could lead to electrical problems and potential fire hazards in fuel tanks. This rule is based on updates from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and includes requirements for corrective actions if any damage is discovered. The FAA is accepting public comments on the proposal until February 6, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The airplane safety people want to check parts inside some planes more often to make sure they're not broken and causing problems. They’re telling everyone about this new plan and asking people to say what they think before they make it official.
