The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule to replace an existing Airworthiness Directive (AD) for certain Honda Aircraft Company LLC Model HA-420 airplanes. This new proposal requires the removal of old flap control pushrods, which are prone to corrosion, and the installation of newly approved corrosion-resistant pushrods. The proposal aims to address safety concerns by preventing potential flap control issues that could lead to a loss of control of the aircraft. Public comments on this proposed rule are invited and must be submitted by May 27, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure Honda airplanes are safer by switching old, rusty airplane parts with new, shiny ones to keep them from breaking. They are asking people to share their thoughts on this idea before the end of May.
