  • 2025-03012 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 10619
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive focused on certain models of Airbus Helicopters, including AS350B2, AS350B3, and EC130B4. This proposal is in response to reports of broken cargo swing frames, which could lead to unsafe conditions during flight. The directive would require regular inspections of the cargo swing installations and frames, with necessary corrective actions if issues are found, to prevent potential in-flight load loss and maintain helicopter safety. The public can submit comments on this proposal until April 11, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some helicopters stay safe, so they are asking people to check part of the helicopter called the cargo swing regularly to see if it's broken, just like checking if a toy is cracked before playing with it. If something is wrong, fixing it quickly can help keep everyone safe.

    Type:Rule

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule concerning Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B3. This rule mandates upgrades to the electrical system for the throttle twist grip and inspections of a microswitch electrical harness to prevent potential engine issues where helicopters could remain in idle mode unintentionally. The rule, prompted by similar European regulations, aims to ensure safety and requires compliance by a specific date or service hours, with details available from Airbus Helicopters. The rule affects 517 helicopters and is meant to avoid jeopardizing flight safety and prevent accidents.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made a new rule for some helicopters to fix a part that helps control the engine so it doesn't accidentally stay in "park." They're doing this to keep flying safe and help avoid accidents.
