Reading Time:about 16 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for various Airbus SAS airplanes due to corrosion and cracks found on the broadband antenna adapter plate. The directive requires regular inspections and limits the installation of certain parts to ensure safety. This action stems from a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) directive aimed at preventing potential in-flight issues that could affect aircraft control. Public comments on the proposal are invited until February 14, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants airplanes to be checked regularly for cracks and rust in certain parts to keep them safe. People can share their thoughts on this plan until early next year.
