  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104459
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to replace an earlier directive for Deutsche Aircraft GmbH Model 328-100 and 328-300 airplanes. The new directive requires not only an initial inspection of certain parts but also ongoing, repetitive inspections due to the risk of damage that could lead to electrical problems and potential fire hazards in fuel tanks. This rule is based on updates from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and includes requirements for corrective actions if any damage is discovered. The FAA is accepting public comments on the proposal until February 6, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The airplane safety people want to check parts inside some planes more often to make sure they're not broken and causing problems. They’re telling everyone about this new plan and asking people to say what they think before they make it official.
