The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric engines. This proposal aims to replace specific high-pressure turbine (HPT) disks due to potential iron inclusions, which could lead to fractures and uncontained engine failure. The proposed directive is intended to ensure the safety of these engines by mandating the replacement of affected parts. The FAA invites public comments on this proposal until March 17, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric engines used in airplanes. This action is due to concerns about a part called the combustion chamber assembly (CCA) which may fail sooner than expected. To prevent this, the FAA wants regular inspections and timely replacements of this component. They are seeking public comments on this proposal until February 10, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive for Boeing 737 models, prompted by incidents where engine components detached and caused aircraft damage. This rule requires replacing or inspecting specific parts, updating maintenance programs, and addressing potential engine nacelle maintenance errors by using redesigned components and high-visibility paints. The changes aim to prevent conditions that could lead to an aircraft losing control or excessive drag during flight. Compliance is required by April 8, 2025, with the costs estimated at $7,650 per operator for updating programs.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a request to release and sell two parcels of land, totaling 4.28 acres, at the Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport in Kansas. This proposal allows the city to use the land for a water reservoir and warehouse, while ensuring the airport receives fair market value and retains mineral rights. The FAA has determined that this transaction will not impact the airport's future aviation needs. Public comments on the proposal are welcome until March 5, 2021.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for specific Boeing 737 models due to safety concerns from engine fan blade-out (FBO) events. These incidents caused damage to the aircraft, including cracks in the primary exhaust nozzle. The FAA's directive mandates inspections and modifications, such as the installation of bridge brackets or serviceable nozzles, to ensure safety. Operators must also update their maintenance programs to include new airworthiness limitations to prevent future unsafe conditions.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule for a new airworthiness directive (AD) affecting all Boeing 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes. This AD was introduced because two engine fan blade-out events led to engine parts separating from the planes, causing safety issues. The directive requires airlines to replace certain parts on the planes and update maintenance programs to ensure safety. This rule, effective April 8, 2025, aims to prevent future incidents that could lead to loss of control or rapid decompression.

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has determined that a type of cotton, known as MON 88702 and developed by Monsanto, is no longer considered a regulated organism because it is genetically engineered to resist insects and is unlikely to pose a risk as a plant pest. This decision followed an analysis of Monsanto's data, public comments, and APHIS's environmental assessments. Supporting documents and assessments were reviewed, and after considering several public comment periods, APHIS concluded that the cotton does not present significant environmental impacts. As a result, MON 88702 cotton will not be subject to certain regulatory restrictions.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is announcing a proposal to release 45.23 acres of land at the Roswell Air Center in New Mexico. This land, initially acquired through the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 and the Surplus Property Act of 1944, is planned to be sold to ARK Prefab LLC for the expansion of their manufacturing business. The proceeds from the sale will be used for airport improvements to support civil aviation. Public comments on the proposal are invited and must be submitted by January 3, 2025.
