The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive targeting specific models of Airbus SAS airplanes, including A318, A319, A320, and A321 series, due to cracks found during testing. This directive would require regular inspections of certain aircraft parts and necessary repairs to maintain safety. Public comments on this proposal are invited until January 23, 2025. The aim is to prevent reduced structural integrity of these aircraft due to the identified issue.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is like the airplane safety boss, and they found some cracks in certain types of Airbus planes. They want to make a rule where people have to check these planes regularly to fix any cracks and keep them safe.
