  • 2025-01884 — Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; Embraer S.A.; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. (EMBRAER)) Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8684
    Reading Time:about 17 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive to replace a previous directive regarding Embraer S.A. airplanes, addressing issues with the aileron power control actuator (PCA) that could impact flight safety. This proposed rule aims to correct a previously identified error in task identification numbers and reiterates the need for routine inspections and corrections of PCA rod ends and fittings to prevent cracks or failures that could reduce aircraft controllability. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposal until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is planning to make sure certain Embraer airplanes are safe by fixing a mistake in a past rule and continuing to check and fix parts of the wing controls to prevent problems with flying. They're asking people to give their thoughts about this plan until mid-March 2025.

  • 2025-02398 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9201
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented a new airworthiness directive for Boeing Model 747 airplanes, including a range of series models, due to reports of improper grinding of landing gear outer cylinders. This defective grinding could lead to heat damage, potentially causing structural failure or landing gear collapse, risking loss of control of the aircraft. The directive necessitates replacing any affected parts to ensure safety and prevent the unsafe condition from affecting these airplanes. This rule will take effect on March 17, 2025, and applies to all airplanes of the specified models registered in the United States.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA found that some Boeing 747 airplanes have a problem with parts of the landing gear being ground too much, which could make them unsafe. So, they made a rule that says those parts must be replaced to keep the planes safe.
