  • 2021-03056 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 9269
    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is updating a previous safety directive for certain Airbus Helicopters, specifically Model SA330J, to address issues with the tail rotor blades. This update requires more frequent inspections and clarifies the compliance procedures. The purpose of these changes is to reduce the risk of fatigue cracks which could lead to a failure of the tail rotor blade and, consequently, loss of control of the helicopter. Helicopters must regularly undergo inspections and any rotor blades showing issues must be repaired or replaced before they can be used again.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain helicopters stay safe by checking their back spinning blades more often and fixing them if needed, so they don't break and make flying risky.

  • 2024-30374 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104465
    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.
