The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule for all Boeing 767-200, -300, and -300F airplanes, effective February 12, 2025. This new rule addresses a safety concern where a grinder used during maintenance exceeded its input parameters, possibly causing heat damage to the main landing gear cylinder. The directive requires replacing the affected cylinders to prevent unsafe conditions like landing gear collapse, which could lead to loss of control of the airplane. The rule clarifies that installing a specific Supplemental Type Certificate does not affect compliance with the directive, and it includes provisions for alternative methods of compliance and material incorporations by reference.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) received a petition from ACNR Holdings, Inc. to modify current safety standards, allowing the use of 3M Versaflo TR-800 Powered Air Purifying Respirators in specific mines.

The petition includes guidelines for equipment examination, battery handling, and miner training to maintain safety and compliance with federal regulations. Comments on this petition can be submitted until May 19, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for specific models of Boeing 747 airplanes due to reports of inboard foreflap departures.
