  • 2025-00138 — Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 1357
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Gulfstream Aerospace GVII-G500 and GVII-G600 airplanes due to reports of cracks and corrosion in the electrical grounding receptacles on the wings. This directive requires inspections and necessary actions, such as sealing the receptacles to prevent potential fuel leaks, which poses a safety risk. The rule becomes effective on February 12, 2025, and operators are expected to comply within 36 months to ensure safe aircraft operation. The costs involved may be partially covered by warranty, reducing financial impact on operators.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making a rule for some airplanes to fix and seal certain parts on their wings because they can crack and cause problems. Airplane owners have about three years to do this, and it might not be too expensive because some costs could be covered by a guarantee.

  • 2024-28125 — Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 95095
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier airplanes due to reports of missing or damaged inboard flap seal plate assemblies. This AD mandates repetitive inspections for cracks and the replacement of these parts to address a potential safety risk. It becomes effective January 6, 2025, and affects 43 aircraft registered in the United States. The directive aims to prevent the inboard flap seal plates from detaching during certain flight conditions, which could result in excessive vibration and damage to the airplane.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure some Bombardier airplanes are safe to fly because a part on the wing might be broken or missing. They are telling people to check these parts regularly and fix them if needed, but it might cost money, and the rules might be a bit tricky to follow.
