    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Model PC-24 airplanes. This directive is a response to information about electrical harness installations that do not meet approved designs, which could cause issues like wire chafing, arcing, or failure. These problems might lead to loss of system redundancy or other safety hazards. To address this, the AD requires modifications to the electrical harness installations, which will cost about $1,775 per aircraft to implement.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making sure that certain Pilatus airplanes are extra safe by asking them to fix some wires that weren’t done right, so they don’t get damaged and cause problems like weird smells or power issues. It costs a bit to make these changes, but it helps keep the planes safe.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule for all Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Model PC-7 airplanes. This rule addresses an identified unsafe condition concerning a missing screw on a harness shoulder strap buckle that could lead to loss of pilot restraint and potential loss of airplane control or crew injury. Effective February 12, 2021, it requires inspections and potential repairs or replacements of the affected parts to ensure safety. The FAA invites comments on this rule until March 29, 2021, and has deemed the situation urgent enough to forgo the usual public comment period prior to enacting the rule.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA found that some small Pilatus airplanes might have a loose part on the seatbelt, which could make it unsafe for the pilot and others on the plane. So, they made a rule that owners must check and fix this to make sure everyone stays safe in the air.
