Reading Time:about 14 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP. This action is in response to the lack of electrical bonding on a specific searchlight part, which could lead to electrical failures if struck by lightning. The directive requires modifications to the searchlight to ensure safety and prevents the installation of the searchlight unless these modifications are completed. The deadline for public comments is February 6, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to fix a light on some Airbus helicopters because it might not work well in storms, and they want everyone to share their thoughts by early February 2025.
