  • 2025-02395 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9203
    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule for certain Boeing 757 airplanes, requiring inspections and repairs to address cracks found near the cargo door hinge areas. This rule, effective from March 17, 2025, seeks to prevent potential safety issues that could reduce the airplane's structural integrity. While Boeing supported the plan, FedEx and VT Mobile Aerospace Engineering raised concerns about the short 30-day compliance time, arguing it was unrealistic. The FAA made some amendments but ultimately decided to proceed with the rule to ensure aircraft safety.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is like a safety boss for airplanes, and they found some cracks near the doors in certain Boeing 757 planes. They're making new rules to fix and check these cracks to keep the airplanes safe in the sky.

  • 2025-02316 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9403
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new set of rules to improve the safety of Boeing 757 airplanes by modifying specific parts. This proposal aims to replace an existing airworthiness directive from 2019, which involved checking and inspecting certain components due to a previous failure that could affect the plane’s control. The updated rules would require modifying the attachment lug of the aileron trim actuator and related components, which will end the need for repetitive checks and inspections. The FAA is inviting comments on this proposal until March 31, 2025, to ensure all potential safety concerns are addressed.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure Boeing 757 airplanes are safer by fixing some parts so that they don't have to keep checking them over and over. They are asking people to tell them what they think about this idea until the end of March 2025.

  • 2024-28782 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 97494
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive, effective January 13, 2025, targeting specific models of Boeing 757 airplanes due to a risk of structural cracking. Prompted by analysis showing current inspections might not catch these cracks, the rule mandates inspections and necessary repairs to mitigate this issue, aiming to maintain airplane safety. Feedback from companies like FedEx, United Airlines, and EATL prompted clarifications, but the directive maintains its stance on compliance times and procedures for affected aircraft, emphasizing the importance of quickly addressing potential structural weaknesses.

    Simple Explanation

    The rules say some Boeing planes have parts that might break if not checked often, so airplane companies must look for cracks and fix them to keep everyone safe. People had questions about how hard and costly this will be, but the rules didn't answer everything clearly.

  • 2025-00371 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1850
    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new rule for certain Boeing 757 airplanes to fix a problem with a power transfer unit (PTU) control valve that sometimes fails to open. This rule requires changes to the wiring and installation of new relays near the PTU control valve. If not addressed, the issue could hinder the landing gear's ability to retract quickly during takeoff, adding extra drag and potentially leading to unsafe flying conditions. The rule becomes effective on February 14, 2025, and requires operators to follow specific Boeing instructions for making these changes.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to fix a part on some Boeing planes because it doesn't always work right, which could make flying unsafe. They say changes need to be made to make sure the landing gear works well, but figuring out how to follow their rules might be tricky without help.

  • 2025-01973 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8690
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule that would affect Boeing 757-200, -200CB, and -300 airplanes. This proposed rule is a response to newly reported cracking in parts of the airplane's structure, which could compromise its safety. To prevent potential safety risks, the rule would require inspections and repairs of these cracks at specific locations on the airplanes. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposal until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some airplanes are safe, so they're telling people to check and fix any cracks they find on certain Boeing planes. They are asking for people's thoughts on this idea until March 17, 2025.

  • 2025-00826 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5754
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain Boeing 757-200 and -300 airplanes. This proposal is based on a report indicating that some video monitors, mounted in the passenger service units, became detached during a hard landing. In response, the FAA suggests replacing these monitors with new ones that have secondary retention lanyards to prevent potential injuries and ensure safety during emergency evacuations. The deadline for comments on this proposal is March 3, 2025, and details about compliance and submission are provided through official channels.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure that TV screens in certain Boeing planes don't fall off during bumpy landings, so they're asking airlines to replace them with ones that have extra safety straps. They're also asking people to share their thoughts on this idea by March 3, 2025.
