  • 2025-03493 — Special Conditions: Universal Avionics; Electronic System Security Protection From Unauthorized External Access
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11211
    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued special conditions for Universal Avionics to add a new digital systems architecture to specific airplanes. This change involves allowing more connections and access from external network sources like operator networks and the internet to the airplane's electronic systems, which were previously isolated. These conditions are necessary because current airworthiness standards do not address the security risks posed by this increased connectivity, such as potential unauthorized access and cyber threats. The special conditions outline safety measures to ensure that these risks are managed, maintain the safety of the aircraft, and apply only to the specific airplane models affected by these changes.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA made new rules for airplanes changed by Universal Avionics so they can talk to the internet safely, just like making sure a tablet used by a pilot is safe from being hacked.

  • 2024-29619 — Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 102019
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing 767-300 series airplanes converted from passenger to freighter. This proposed AD is due to improperly installed pitot-static tubing in the plane's equipment center, which could lead to system malfunctions. It would require a visual inspection of certain tubes and hoses to check for issues and corrective actions if necessary. The FAA is seeking public comments on this proposal by January 31, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA found out that some tubes inside certain Boeing airplanes were put in the wrong way when the planes were changed from carrying people to carrying packages. They want to check these tubes and fix any problems to make sure the planes stay safe in the sky.

  • 2025-04567 — Special Conditions: Carson Helicopters Inc., Sikorsky Model S-61A, S-61L, and S-61N (Including Those Modified by Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) No. SH640NE) Helicopters; Overload Protection Device in a Hoist
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 13705
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing special conditions for certain Sikorsky helicopters, specifically models S-61A, S-61L, and S-61N, which are being modified by Carson Helicopters, Inc. These modifications involve installing a helicopter hoist with an overload protection device (OLPD), a feature not covered by current safety regulations. The special conditions are designed to ensure the helicopters meet necessary safety standards, addressing a new design that improves safety by preventing the hoist cable from unspooling and posing dangers to the aircraft and crew. The FAA seeks public comments on these proposed changes by April 25, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure certain special helicopters are safe by adding a smart device that stops a rope from accidentally unwinding too much when lifting things. They are asking people to tell them what they think about these ideas by April 25, 2025.
