The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has updated a previous airworthiness directive concerning certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited models. This update includes an inspection for corrosion on specific airplane parts, with corrective actions to prevent potential landing gear failures. The change aims to address issues with airline operators identifying affected airplanes and revises requirements to improve safety. The rule becomes effective on April 18, 3036, and has been approved in conjunction with Canada's aviation authority.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure certain airplanes are safe by checking and fixing some parts that could get rusty, but they need to fix a few things, like a silly future date and explain why one type of airplane isn't included anymore.
