  • 2021-03589 — Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11165
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to replace a previous Airworthiness Directive (AD 2019-22-07) for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC airplane models, including various Regional Jet series. The initial directive required updates to the airplane flight manual to address a safety issue with the Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) that could result in reduced control of the airplane during certain flight modes. However, additional unsafe conditions have been identified, prompting the FAA to propose further revisions to the flight manuals and expand the applicability of the AD to include additional airplane models. The FAA invites comments on this proposal by April 12, 2021, to address these safety concerns effectively.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change a safety rule for some airplanes to make sure pilots have better instructions to keep the planes safe during flights. They also want to include more types of airplanes in this updated rule and are asking for feedback to make sure everything is covered.

  • 2021-03565 — Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10753
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 airplanes, responding to issues with the structural life limits of some landing gear components. These limits were not properly updated during repairs, potentially leading to landing gear collapse and resulting in airplane damage and danger to passengers. The directive requires checking and revising these limits in airplane documents and replacing affected parts when necessary. This rule is to ensure the safe operation of the aircraft and is effective from March 30, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making some airplane companies check and fix parts of the landing gear on certain planes because they might not last as long as they should, which could be dangerous. They need to look at the airplane's records and possibly change out some old parts to keep everyone safe.

  • 2025-02374 — Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9212
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule requiring new safety inspections for MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 airplanes, due to ultrasonic inspections potentially missing cracks in certain areas. The rule, effective March 17, 2025, mandates repeated ultrasonic inspections and repairs for cracking in specific structural parts. These measures aim to prevent structural failures stemming from undetected cracks. The rule incorporates standards from a related Transport Canada directive and requires using updated inspection procedures.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA says there are some airplanes that need special checks to make sure they don't have cracks that could lead to bigger problems, like pieces breaking. They want these checks done regularly and in a specific way to keep everything safe.

  • 2025-02727 — Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9879
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has proposed a new airworthiness directive for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC airplanes due to a safety issue with the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) impact switch being installed incorrectly. This incorrect installation could lead to loss of critical data in an accident. The proposed directive requires inspections and corrections to ensure the switch is installed correctly to maintain flight safety. Interested parties have until April 7, 2025, to comment on the proposal.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine if your voice recorder was put in your toy car the wrong way, and it couldn't tell stories if something happened. The grown-ups who take care of airplanes want to make sure all the airplane voice recorders are put in correctly so they always work properly, and people have time until a certain day to share their thoughts about this.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC airplanes due to potential interference from 5G wireless broadband operations affecting radio altimeters. This directive mandates the installation of a radio frequency bandpass filter to prevent altimeter anomalies that could lead to unsafe flight conditions, such as overheating issues in the aircraft's hydraulic system or wing structural deformation. The AD follows comments received on its proposal and makes necessary adjustments, including referencing updated service bulletins for compliance. This final rule will help ensure continued safe flight and landing of affected aircraft by requiring timely modifications.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to add a special part to some airplanes to make sure their equipment works right and keeps them safe when they're flying, especially since there are new super-fast internet signals that might confuse the airplane's tools.
