The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule for Airbus SAS Model A350-941 airplanes after discovering anodic burns on the landing gear axles. This rule requires replacing the affected axles and stopping the use of parts with these defects to prevent potential structural failures. Public comments on this proposal must be submitted by April 7, 2025. This regulation aligns with a European Union Aviation Safety Agency directive and aims to ensure the safe operation of these airplanes.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has revised a proposed rule to update airworthiness directives for certain Airbus SAS airplane models. This update is in response to finding cracks in specific areas of the airplanes' fuselage that could compromise their structural integrity. In this revision, the FAA has added requirements for some airplanes, expanded the applicability to include more models, and reopened the comment period to gather public input. The FAA aims to align its requirements with recent updates from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and ensure all safety measures are up to date.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule introducing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS A300-600 series airplanes. This rule, effective April 15, 2025, requires updating maintenance or inspection programs to include new or stricter airworthiness limits. These updates are needed to address potential safety issues like fatigue cracking, which could jeopardize the airplane's structural integrity. The AD aims to ensure the safety of these aircraft by implementing the guidelines set forth by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule concerning many models of Airbus A321 airplanes due to a discovered error in aircraft data files regarding the width of the main landing gear tires. This error could lead to incorrect calculations that might affect airplane performance during takeoffs and stops on wet or contaminated runways, potentially causing runway excursions. To address this, the rule would require updates to the airplane flight manual to ensure accurate performance computations. The FAA is seeking comments on this proposal by March 28, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule requiring the replacement of certain chemical oxygen generators on a variety of Airbus planes, due to failures they experienced in service and maintenance. This rule follows a similar directive by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and aims to address potential safety risks from these malfunctions. Under the directive, affected parts need to be replaced, and while operators must report inspection results, they are not required to return the parts to the manufacturer. The directive will take effect from March 11, 2025, and affects multiple Airbus models registered in the U.S.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule that affects various models of Airbus A300-600 series airplanes. This proposed rule wants to add new, stricter maintenance and inspection requirements due to concerns about the safety risks from aging aircraft systems. These changes are based on recommendations by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and will replace some previous maintenance instructions. The public can comment on this proposal until May 9, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new regulation for certain Leonardo S.p.a. helicopters—specifically the A109E, A109S, and AW109SP models—due to reports of incorrect installation of specific motor cables and bonding braids connected to engine fire extinguisher bottles. This proposal aims to ensure these components are correctly installed to prevent potential engine fire hazards that could result in loss of helicopter control. Feedback from the public is invited on this proposal, with comments due by March 24, 2025. The directive is intended to address and correct these unsafe conditions, as recognized by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule to replace an existing directive about safety and maintenance standards for certain Airbus SAS airplanes, specifically the Model A300-600 series. This new rule aims to incorporate stricter airworthiness limitations based on updates from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The FAA's goal is to improve airplane safety by addressing potential structural fatigue issues. The public is invited to provide comments on this proposed rule by May 5, 2025.

The FAA has issued a new Airworthiness Directive (AD) that updates previous requirements for Rolls-Royce Trent7000-72 and Trent7000-72C engines. This rule comes after the manufacturer updated its maintenance manual to include stricter inspection tasks and time limits for engine parts that have a limited lifespan. The goal of the directive is to prevent engine failures that could potentially lead to loss of aircraft control. Compliance with this AD will become mandatory starting April 17, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C, following updated safety limitations identified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This proposed rule would require revisions to airworthiness limitations in the helicopters' maintenance manuals to prevent failure of critical parts, which could lead to loss of helicopter control. The FAA invites the public to comment on this proposal by May 5, 2025, and provides details on how to submit feedback. The proposed AD is part of ongoing efforts to enhance aviation safety by ensuring compliance with updated international safety standards.
