✈️Removal of Airworthiness Directive 2010-09-11 and Its Impact
The FAA is removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-09-11, which applied to all BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146- series and Model Avro 146-RJ series airplanes. AD 2010-09-11 required repetitive inspections for cracking and corrosion and applicable corrective actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2010-09-11, the FAA issued AD 2022-06-14 to address the same unsafe condition. Accordingly, AD 2010-09-11 is removed.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2A12 (601) and CL-600-2B16 (601- 3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-03- 07, which applied to all Deutsche Aircraft GmbH Model 328-100 and 328- 300 airplanes. AD 2024-03-07 required a one-time detailed inspection of each affected part, and applicable corrective actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-03-07, the FAA determined that repetitive inspections are necessary. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2024-03- 07 and requires repetitive inspections of the affected part. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Airworthiness Directive for Dassault Aviation FALCON 2000EX
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of the incorrect installation of the very high frequency omnidirectional range and localizer (VOR/LOC) antenna coupler. This AD requires implementing an operational limitation for Category (CAT) II and CAT III approaches, inspecting the VOR/LOC antenna coupler, and reinstalling the VOR/LOC antenna coupler if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Piaggio Aviation Airplanes Issued
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-25- 03, which applied to certain Piaggio Aviation S.p.A. (Piaggio) Model P- 180 airplanes. AD 2023-25-03 required a one-time detailed inspection of the horizontal stabilizer (HS) central box for corrosion; an assessment of the corrosion level; and depending on the determination, repetitive detailed inspections of the HS central box for corrosion and the internal composite structure for surface cracks, distortion, and damage; and repair or replacement of the HS assembly. Repair or replacement of the HS assembly was terminating action for the repetitive inspections. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-25-03, it was determined that AD 2023-25-03 imposed an unintended restriction that is not in the mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI). This AD retains certain actions of AD-2023-25-03 and removes the unintended restriction. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Proposed Directive for General Electric Engine Disk Replacements
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model GE90-90B, GE90-94B, GE90-110B1, and GE90-115B engines. This proposed AD was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 1 and HPT stage 2 disks were manufactured from powder metal material suspected to contain iron inclusion. This proposed AD would require replacement of affected HPT stage 1 and HPT stage 2 disks with parts eligible for installation. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Final Rule AD 2025-15-07 for Boeing 747 Airworthiness
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-01- 08, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747-8F, and 747-8 series airplanes. AD 2025-01-08 required identifying the part number, and the serial number if applicable, of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions for affected seats. AD 2025-01-08 also required a one-time detailed inspection and repetitive checks of the horizontal movement system (HMS) of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-01-08, the FAA determined that AD 2025-01-08 contains an error when providing conditions for taking credit using a previous revision of the service information. This AD requires the actions of AD 2025-01-08 and revises paragraph (j) of this AD to clarify which actions are not required. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Boeing 787-9 and 787-10
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-9 and 787-10 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of multiple supplier notices of escapement (NOEs) indicating that ram air turbine (RAT) forward fittings were possibly manufactured with an incorrect titanium alloy material. This proposed AD would require a high frequency eddy current (HFEC) or handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer inspection of the RAT forward fitting to determine the titanium alloy material, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus SAS
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, A330-300, A330- 800, A330-900, A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reported occurrences of forward passenger/crew doors jamming during slide deployment caused by improper door rigging. This proposed AD would require repetitive detailed inspections, and, depending on findings, corrective action(s). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Boeing 737-700 Airworthiness Directive
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-08-16, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-700 and -700C series airplanes. AD 2013-08-16 requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the fuselage skin at certain locations at chem-mill areas and repair if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2013- 08-16, the FAA has determined that the compliance times are not adequate. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2013-08-16 but at reduced compliance times and would require post- modification inspections if an optional modification is accomplished. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
