The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Daher Aerospace Model TBM 700 airplanes due to reports of wear in the inner flap actuator drive nut. This directive requires operators to clean and lubricate the internal actuator rods, and measure and replace the drive nuts if necessary, to maintain the airplane's safety and control. The AD is effective March 11, 2025, and aims to prevent potential loss of flap control, which could lead to reduced or loss of control of the airplane.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Safran Helicopter Engines, Model ARRIUS 2B2. This proposal is in response to data indicating that a key engine component, the preference injector, may clog due to fuel coking, which could lead to engine failure and loss of helicopter control. The AD would require testing, possible replacement of the injector, and a software upgrade. The FAA invites public comments on this proposed rule by April 11, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a change to air navigation routes in Alaska. They plan to remove Jet Route J-606, which is becoming unusable because they're decommissioning the Chinook, AK, Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB). To replace it, the FAA will establish a new Area Navigation Route, Q-182, that follows the same path. This change is part of a larger effort to modernize air navigation by replacing older navigation aids with more advanced systems.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued special conditions for Canard Aerospace Corporation's modification of the DeHavilland Model DHC-8-400 series airplane. This modification involves installing a digital systems architecture that increases the airplane's connectivity to external networks, like the internet and wireless devices. The FAA determined that existing safety regulations do not fully address this novel design feature, so additional safety standards are being proposed to secure the airplane's electronic systems from unauthorized access and potential security threats. These conditions aim to ensure that the airplane remains safe and functional despite these new connectivity features.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a request to release and sell two parcels of land, totaling 4.28 acres, at the Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport in Kansas. This proposal allows the city to use the land for a water reservoir and warehouse, while ensuring the airport receives fair market value and retains mineral rights. The FAA has determined that this transaction will not impact the airport's future aviation needs. Public comments on the proposal are welcome until March 5, 2021.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule that would update existing Airworthiness Directives for Boeing 757-200 airplanes. This rule aims to address safety concerns related to uncommanded movements of the Captain's and First Officer's seats, which could potentially affect aircraft control. The proposed changes include additional inspections and actions for seats previously omitted, and they apply to all Boeing 757-200 models. Comments on this proposed rule must be submitted by May 15, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes. This proposal is due to a reported issue where a mislocated fuel pipe bracket assembly in the center fuel tank could lead to problems like fuel leakage and a risk of fuel ignition. The directive would require modifications to the fuel pipe bracket assembly and an operational test of the fuel system to ensure safety. The FAA invites public comments on this proposal, which aims to address the identified safety concern.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to establish Class E airspace above Transylvania Community Hospital in Brevard, NC. This airspace extends upward from 700 feet within a 6-mile radius of the hospital's heliport. The purpose of this action is to support new GPS-based navigation procedures, ensuring the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. The rule is not expected to have a significant impact on the economy or the environment.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking public comments on its plan to renew an information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This collection relates to safety rules for various types of sightseeing and commercial air tour flights. The FAA wants to ensure compliance and improve overall safety by requiring air tour operators to submit information. Comments are invited on the necessity and burden of this information collection, with submissions due by March 3, 2021.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is requesting public feedback on their plan to renew the approval for an information collection survey. This survey aims to evaluate user satisfaction with the AVIATOR system, which is a tool for applicants on FAA job announcements. The survey is optional and conducted online, seeking opinions on different stages of the job application process. Data gathered will help the FAA improve its services by revealing potential issues with the automated staffing solutions and overall customer satisfaction.
