  • 2025-07268 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 17746
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Boeing 717-200 airplanes in response to a reported landing issue involving the nose gear not extending. This AD requires regular inspections for cracks in the upper lock link assembly, which caused the landing gear problem due to non-conforming surface roughness. Failure to address this issue could result in further nose gear malfunctions, affecting ground maneuverability and safety during landings. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposed rule by June 13, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure Boeing 717-200 airplanes are safe, so they plan to check a part of the landing gear for cracks regularly. They need people to share their thoughts on this plan before June 13, 2025.

  • 2021-03591 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10784
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The FAA has finalized a new rule, known as an airworthiness directive (AD), for all Boeing Model 717-200 airplanes due to a report of frozen airspeed indicators during takeoff. The directive requires airlines to modify the air data heat (ADH) system, ensuring correct airspeed is displayed, alongside necessary tests and corrective actions. This step is needed to prevent potential flight safety issues caused by blocked pitot tubes that could lead to a loss of aircraft control. Some industry members supported the rule, while others suggested alternatives, but the FAA decided to implement the proposed measures.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants all Boeing Model 717-200 airplanes to get a new fix because their speed meters got stuck during takeoff, which could make flying dangerous. They are asking the plane owners to update a part and run tests to make sure everything shows the right speed, even though some people think it might be too expensive.
