  • 2024-29465 — Special Conditions: Airbus Model A321 neo ACF and A321 neo XLR Series Airplanes; Dynamic Test Requirements for Single Occupant Oblique Seats at an Installation Angle of 49 Degrees With Airbags and 3-Point Restraint or Pretensioner Restraint Systems
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104455
    Reading Time:about 22 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing new safety conditions for Airbus A321 neo ACF and A321 neo XLR airplanes, which will feature seats installed at a 49-degree angle with airbags and a new restraint system. The existing airworthiness regulations don't fully cover this unusual seat design, so the FAA has outlined additional safety standards. These standards aim to ensure that these angled and equipped seats provide safety levels similar to traditional seat designs. Public comments on these proposed special conditions are invited until January 13, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    Airplanes need special safety rules for new kinds of seats that face sideways a little and have special belts and airbags, so the people who make the airplane seats and the people in charge can make sure they're safe, just like regular seats.

  • 2024-30855 — Special Conditions: Safran Electric & Power S.A. Model ENGINeUS 100A1 Electric Engines
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 105432
    Reading Time:about 72 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued special conditions for the Safran Electric & Power S.A. Model ENGINeUS 100A1 electric engines, which will serve as the primary propulsion systems in aircraft. These engines use novel electrical technology instead of traditional fuel-burning systems, necessitating the creation of new safety standards. The special conditions outline specific requirements for the engine's design, safety assessments, and operational capabilities to ensure equivalent safety levels to conventional engines. The document responds to public comments and incorporates changes based on feedback from various stakeholders, such as Airbus and Ampaire, emphasizing the safe integration of these electric engines in aviation.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is setting new rules so that special electric engines for airplanes, made by a company called Safran, are just as safe as engines that use fuel. These rules focus on making sure the electric engines work well and don't cause any problems when used in planes.
