  • 2025-02947 — Airworthiness Directives; ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional Airplanes
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 10465
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for specific models of ATR72 airplanes. This AD aims to incorporate updated safety requirements from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) by revising current maintenance or inspection programs. It addresses a potential safety hazard where the chemical oxygen mask release system might fail, possibly endangering passengers and crew. Feedback on this proposal is invited from the public until April 10, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some airplanes are extra safe by using new European airplane rules, so they want to change how they check and fix them, especially the oxygen masks that help people breathe in emergencies. The public can tell the FAA what they think about this idea until April 10, 2025.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) targeting certain ATR42-500 and ATR72-212A airplanes made by ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional. This action comes following reports of potential use of incorrect materials in key airplane parts, which could compromise the structural integrity of these aircraft. The directive, effective May 2, 2025, demands thorough inspections, necessary repairs, and replacement of certain parts to ensure safety, in alignment with a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) directive. The FAA has evaluated the situation and decided that these steps are essential for maintaining safe conditions.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is asking for special checks on some airplanes because parts might not be as strong as they should be, and these checks must happen before they can keep flying safely.

    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 97502
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has updated an existing airworthiness directive for certain ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional airplanes. This update involves adding more restrictive maintenance or inspection requirements to ensure these airplanes remain safe to fly. The decision to supersede the previous rule came after determining that these additional precautions were needed due to potential risks such as fatigue cracking. The FAA aims to tackle these potential safety issues to maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA has told some airplanes to check up more often and fix certain parts to make sure they are always safe to fly, protecting people inside from parts that might get too tired and crack. They're doing this because they found out that these airplanes need extra care to stay strong and safe.

  • 2025-02619 — Airworthiness Directives; ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9698
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain ATR—GIE Avions de Transport Régional planes due to concerns about the use of improper material in the vertical tail plane fittings. This initiative aims to address potential safety issues and requires specific inspections and, if needed, part replacements to ensure continued safety. Public comments on this proposal are welcome until April 4, 2025. The FAA plans to incorporate European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) recommendations and use the information gathered to develop more permanent solutions in the future.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some airplanes made by ATR are safe because the wrong stuff might have been used for part of the tail. They’re checking to see if they need to fix it, and people can give their thoughts on this plan until April 4, 2025.
