  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8915
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for specific Bombardier airplane models, prompted by the need for stricter safety measures. This directive requires updates to maintenance and inspection programs to include new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The aim is to address issues that could potentially affect the stability and control of the aircraft during landing, which might lead to damage. The proposal invites public comments until March 21, 2025, and estimates that the directive will impact 484 U.S.-registered aircraft, with a cost of $7,650 per operator for compliance.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Government wants to make sure certain airplanes made by Bombardier are extra safe, so they are asking for changes to the way these airplanes are checked and fixed. They also want to hear what people think about these changes before officially making them mandatory.

  • Type:Rule

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier airplanes due to reports of missing or damaged inboard flap seal plate assemblies. This AD mandates repetitive inspections for cracks and the replacement of these parts to address a potential safety risk. It becomes effective January 6, 2025, and affects 43 aircraft registered in the United States. The directive aims to prevent the inboard flap seal plates from detaching during certain flight conditions, which could result in excessive vibration and damage to the airplane.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some Bombardier airplanes are safe to fly because a part on the wing might be broken or missing. They are telling people to check these parts regularly and fix them if needed, but it might cost money, and the rules might be a bit tricky to follow.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposed a new rule to replace a previous airworthiness directive (AD) related to certain Bombardier, Inc. airplanes, specifically models in the CL-600 series. The initial AD had called for inspections and possible modifications to the portable oxygen bottle installations to ensure they could be quickly accessed in emergencies. The new proposal aims to expand the scope to include additional airplanes identified as having the same safety concern. The FAA invites comments on this rule by February 14, 2025, and provides procedures for submitting feedback.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change a rule about certain Bombardier airplanes to make sure they have safe oxygen bottles for emergencies, and they want some help in deciding by hearing what people think about it.
