  • 2021-03483 — Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10875
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for specific Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation GVII-G600 airplanes. This proposal is in response to a reported issue where the pitch attitude on the primary flight display can freeze for up to 20 seconds due to a software failure. To address this, the FAA suggests updating both the data concentration network and the flight deck master operating system software. The aim of these updates is to prevent misleading flight information that could lead to a loss of control in certain flight conditions.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants some Gulfstream airplanes to get a software update because there's a problem that can make a screen showing important flight information stop working for a little while, which could be unsafe. They are suggesting fixing the software so pilots always see the right information.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for specific Airbus Canada airplanes due to software issues in their flight control systems. The directive requires a software update to ensure safe flight and landing by correcting problems with the primary flight control computer and remote electronics unit. The FAA invites public comments on this proposal, which must be submitted by April 12, 2021, and will consider any feedback before finalizing the rule. This proposal is based on a related Canadian directive addressing these safety concerns.

    Simple Explanation

    The airplane company found a problem with the computer software that helps the plane fly and land safely, so they are asking people to update it to make sure it's safe. The company wants people to share their thoughts about this before they make it a rule, but they don't clearly explain how to do it.
