  • 2025-02143 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8876
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule concerning The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This rule arises from concerns that some No. 1 flight compartment windows might not withstand bird impacts as required. The rule mandates the replacement of these windows and prevents the installation of windows that don't meet the safety design standards. This measure is intended to address potential safety hazards that could lead to injuries and affect the safe flight and landing of these aircraft. The rule will take effect on March 11, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine a rule that says some airplane windows might not be strong enough if a bird hits them. So, airplane makers need to swap out these windows to make sure everyone stays safe while flying.

  • 2025-03081 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 10703
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain Boeing 787 airplanes. This comes after reports that the planes' radio frequencies change without the crew's input, which could cause missed communications with Air Traffic Control. The proposed rule would require updates to the operational software and a check to ensure proper configuration, as these changes aim to prevent potential safety issues like loss of communication or even collisions. The FAA is asking for public comments on this proposal by April 14, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine some special radios on certain Boeing airplanes changing channels all by themselves, which could make it hard for the pilots to talk to the people who help guide their flights. The folks in charge want to fix this by updating the radio's computer instructions to make flying safer.

  • 2021-03462 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10171
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 787 airplanes due to reports of damaged decompression panels in cargo areas. This directive mandates regular inspections of these panels and requires immediate repairs or replacements if damage is found, to prevent safety hazards like inadequate fire suppression. The directive took effect on March 8, 2021, and is considered an interim measure while a permanent solution is developed. The FAA has invited public comments on this rule until April 5, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA found a problem with some parts on certain Boeing airplanes, so they made a new rule for checking and fixing these parts regularly to keep the planes safe. They want people’s opinions on this rule until early April.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a new rule to replace an older directive for Boeing 787 airplanes to fix a potential safety issue. This new rule requires changes to maintenance programs and specific parts on the planes to ensure the engine fire handle works correctly and prevent potential fire hazards. The rule mandates these changes be made by a certain date and prohibits the installation of certain older parts. The FAA took public comments into account before finalizing the rule, which aims to enhance aviation safety without imposing significant economic impacts.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is telling the people who fly Boeing 787 airplanes that they need to check and fix something that might cause a fire to keep everyone safe. They also said these changes shouldn't cost too much money and asked for people’s opinions before making the rule.

  • 2025-04089 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 12115
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive for Boeing 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes due to issues found with their forward pressure bulkhead during assembly, such as excessive gaps. These defects could lead to fatigue cracks that weaken the airplane's structure if not fixed. The proposed rule requires inspections and necessary repairs to prevent potential safety hazards. The FAA is accepting public comments on this proposal until April 28, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain Boeing airplanes are safe because some part of the airplane might have gaps that could cause problems. They want the airplanes to be checked and fixed if needed, but they haven't said how much the fixes might cost exactly.

  • 2025-02069 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8914
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has withdrawn a proposed rule intended to update safety requirements for certain Boeing 787 airplanes due to concerns about water leaks that could affect flight equipment. The initial proposal stemmed from reports of water pressure issues and missing safety straps on clamshell couplings. However, Boeing informed the FAA that not all inspection areas for the galleys were addressed, prompting the withdrawal of the rule. The FAA intends to consider additional rulemaking to include the necessary safety measures and factors concerning the 787-10 model that were previously omitted.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA had an idea to make some airplanes safer by checking for parts that might cause water leaks, but they found out their plan wasn't complete enough. So, they're going to take more time to figure out the best way to fix the problem.

  • 2025-00824 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule

    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule regarding specific Boeing 787 airplanes due to concerns that some parts may have been made with the wrong type of titanium alloy, which could impact safety. This proposed rule would require inspections of seat track splice fittings to confirm the material used and take necessary actions if incorrect materials are found. The goal is to prevent potential failures that could affect passenger safety during emergency situations. Public comments on this proposed rule are invited until March 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to check some parts of certain Boeing airplanes to make sure they are made with the right stuff, because using the wrong stuff might make the airplanes unsafe. They are asking people to give their thoughts on this plan until March 3, 2025.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing 787 models, effective May 2, 2025. This directive, prompted by possible misalignment issues during final assembly of airplane parts, requires inspections of parts on the horizontal stabilizer to ensure safety. The FAA reviewed and addressed public comments, including requests for inspection clarifications and corrections of part numbers. It concluded that the directive is necessary to address potential safety issues related to the airplanes' structural integrity and ensure safe flight and landing.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making sure some Boeing airplanes are extra safe by checking certain parts to make sure they're in the right place; it’s like making sure a toy block tower doesn't wobble before playing with it.
