    Citation:86 FR 3879
    Reading Time:about 18 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to update a previous Airworthiness Directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. This new proposal aims to include more restrictive airworthiness limitations necessary to maintain safety by revising existing maintenance programs. The FAA invites the public to comment on this proposed rule by March 1, 2021, as it is intended to address potential safety issues related to structural integrity and control of the aircraft. This proposal relies on airworthiness standards set by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and would apply to airplanes with specific airworthiness certificates issued before June 1, 2020.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some Falcon 7X airplanes are super safe, so they are asking those who take care of them to follow stricter check-up rules. They're listening to everyone’s ideas about this plan until March 1, 2021, to make sure the planes are in tip-top shape.

  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11657
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to replace an older Airworthiness Directive (AD) from 2010 for Airbus Helicopters, previously Eurocopter France, Model SA330J helicopters. This new rule aims to improve aircraft safety by requiring an inspection and potential replacement of the main gearbox oil cooling fan rotor shaft bearings with an updated design developed by Airbus. These actions are intended to prevent possible rotor failure, which could lead to damage and loss of control of the helicopter. The FAA is inviting public comments on this proposed rule by April 12, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make some changes to how a certain helicopter part is checked and fixed so that flying is safer. They are asking people what they think about this idea before they make a final decision.
