  • 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.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) applicable to Boeing Model 737 series airplanes, excluding certain older models. This decision follows reports of cracks in the lug fittings of the forward entry door, which could compromise the structural integrity of the door and result in rapid decompression. The AD requires inspection and potential replacement of specific parts in the door assembly to ensure safety. The directive aims to prevent unsafe conditions and maintain the airplane's airworthiness.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine there is a problem with some parts on certain Boeing 737 planes that help keep the door safe; if these parts break, it could cause trouble during flights. So, the airplane bosses want everyone to check and possibly fix these parts to keep flying safe.

  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 17022
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule to replace an existing Airworthiness Directive (AD) for specific GE Aviation Czech engines. This rule is aimed at addressing an unsafe condition caused by improper welding that may lead to cracks in the engine's centrifugal compressor case. The new directive requires repeated inspections and potential replacement of compressor cases if cracks are found, aligning with an European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) directive. Public comments on this proposal are invited by June 9, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to replace an old rule about airplane engines because they're worried about cracks in part of the engine. They want to check these engines more often and fix or replace them if anything is wrong, but they need more details about how much it might cost.
