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) is proposing a new rule to update previous regulations for certain Airbus SAS Model A350 airplanes. This rule would require replacing older oxygen cylinder assemblies with improved ones to prevent possible safety issues, such as fires during ground testing. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposal by May 2, 2025, and they emphasize the need for compliance with the guidelines set by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The aim is to address and correct unsafe conditions in these Airbus models effectively.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that updates a previous Airworthiness Directive (AD) for Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This update is a result of new information about certain galleys affected by corrosion and delamination issues, which could potentially lead to safety concerns during emergency situations. The rule continues to require inspections and introduces optional modifications to address these issues. Furthermore, it updates the list of affected parts and prohibits the installation of these parts under specific conditions to ensure flight safety.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to address safety concerns for Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes due to errors in the aircraft flight manual regarding taxi time limits in freezing fog conditions. This rule would require changes to the flight manual to provide the correct procedures for pilots. The proposed rule is designed to prevent engine issues that could lead to a loss of control of the airplane. They are inviting public comments on this proposal, which must be submitted by May 12, 2025.
