  • 2024-29432 — Special Conditions: Aerocon Engineering Company, Airbus Model A350-941 Airplane; Forward Lower Lobe Crew Rest Compartment Installation
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 100723
    Reading Time:about 19 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued special conditions for the Airbus A350-941 airplane, which has been modified to include a Lower Lobe Crew Rest (LLCR) compartment by Aerocon Engineering. These special conditions are necessary because the existing safety regulations do not cover this novel design feature. The LLCR, located under the passenger cabin floor, will be used only during flight, and it must meet additional safety standards set by the FAA to ensure the crew's safety. This includes requirements for evacuation routes, communication systems, smoke detection, and fire safety equipment.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made new airplane rules because Airbus made a special resting spot under the floor for crew members. These rules are to make sure everyone stays safe, like making sure there's a way to talk to people, see in the dark, and escape if needed.

    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 16077
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for some Airbus Helicopters Model H160-B, due to reports of difficulties with the jettisoning function of the helicopter windows. This directive requires regular lubrication, operational testing, and necessary corrective action for the locking fingers on the windows to prevent failure, which could impede emergency evacuation. This directive follows a European mandate and becomes effective on May 2, 2025, with comments requested by June 2, 2025. The FAA emphasizes the urgency of these actions for aviation safety, bypassing the typical public comment period.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine there are special windows on some flying machines that need to open quickly in an emergency. Some of these windows were getting stuck, so a big group of safety people decided they need to be checked and oiled regularly to make sure they work properly.
