  • 2025-04320 — Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 12457
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. This action comes after a design review found that the software meant to protect against large leaks in the engine bleed duct was not fully functional, which could lead to dual engine failure. The directive requires airlines to update their airplane flight manuals with new procedures for manual isolation of certain engine functions in the event of a bleed duct leak. The purpose of this rule is to improve safety and prevent potential accidents.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to make sure certain airplanes don't have a problem where big leaks can make the engines fail. So, they decided the pilots need new instructions in their books for how to handle these leaks, helping keep everybody safe in the sky!

  • 2025-05331 — Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A.; Embraer S.A.) Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 14029
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The FAA has issued a new rule that affects all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-300 and ERJ 190-400 airplanes due to a failure in the MAU 3B, which can result in brake faults and loss of normal braking. To fix this, the flight manual must be updated to include new procedures. This directive will be effective from April 14, 2025, and is based on a similar measure by Brazil's aviation authority. The FAA seeks public comments by May 12, 2025, but has already taken action to address this safety issue.

    Simple Explanation

    The government found a problem in some Embraer airplanes where the brakes might not work right because a part inside failed. They're telling people who fly these planes to update their instruction book so they know what to do if this happens, and they're asking people to share their thoughts about these changes by a certain date.
