  • 2025-02249 — Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8874
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The FAA has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Leonardo S.p.a. helicopters due to a report of rescue hoist cable assemblies having a defective ball end. This AD requires users to inspect these cable assemblies and replace them if necessary, to prevent failure that could pose a danger during rescue operations. The directive was influenced by a European safety agency's guidance and aims to address the safety concern promptly. The FAA is accepting public comments until March 21, 2025, and the AD will become effective on February 19, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to make sure that certain helicopters are safe because a part, the rescue rope, might be broken. So, they're telling people to check and fix the rope if needed, to keep everyone safe when using it.

  • 2024-28831 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 99169
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to replace the 2021 directive concerning Airbus Model SA330J helicopters. This new proposed rule aims to ensure safety by requiring the installation of improved main gearbox fan rotor bearings, which will stop the need for repeated inspections. The rule also follows updates from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) that include modifications like Kevlar protection for the fan bearing rectifier and a new flexible duct. The FAA invites public comments on this proposal until January 24, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain Airbus helicopters are safe, so they're telling owners to use better parts to stop having to check the helicopters so often. This means they will replace old rules with new rules, and they want people to share their thoughts on these changes by next January.

    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 13848
    Reading Time:about 17 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule to replace the existing Airworthiness Directive for certain Airbus SAS airplanes, following reports of cracks during inspections. This new rule will require continuous inspections, specific corrective actions, and modify the forward pressure bulkhead to prevent cracking, which could threaten the aircraft's structural integrity. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposal by May 12, 2025. The rule aims to ensure safety and prevent possible structural failures in these airplane models.

    Simple Explanation

    The airplane helpers want to make sure certain flying machines don't get any cracks that might make them unsafe, so they plan to check these planes more often and fix any problems. They're asking for ideas and thoughts from everyone on how best to do this.

  • 2021-03603 — Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11116
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that replaces the previous Airworthiness Directive (AD) concerning all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 airplanes. This updated rule requires changes to the maintenance or inspection programs to incorporate more stringent airworthiness limitations outlined by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The new AD is intended to address safety concerns by introducing stricter maintenance protocols. This change is effective from March 31, 2021, and aims to prevent unsafe conditions related to the operation of these aircraft.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making sure Dassault airplanes are extra safe by changing the rules on how they should be checked and fixed, following new advice from Europe's airplane safety group, starting March 31, 2021. This keeps everyone safer when flying these planes.
