✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000EX
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of the incorrect installation of the very high frequency omnidirectional range and localizer (VOR/LOC) antenna coupler. This proposed AD would require 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, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of water leakage from the potable water system due to improperly installed waterline couplings, and water leaking into the electronics equipment (EE) bays from above the floor in the main cabin, resulting in water on the equipment in the EE bays. This AD requires an inspection of seat tracks above the EE bays for missing, damaged, or deteriorated sealant, moisture barrier tape, or tape dams, as applicable, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702), CL-600-2C11 (Regional Jet Series 550), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900), and CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) impact switch was installed in the wrong direction. This AD requires an inspection of the CVR impact switch installation to confirm that the reset switch faces forward, and applicable on-condition actions, as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Gulfstream G150 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that a new airworthiness limitation is necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate a new airworthiness limitation, as specified in a Civil Aviation Authority of Israel (CAAI) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Canada's BD-500 Airplanes
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-19- 09, which applied to all Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD- 500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2022-19-09 required repetitive inspections of the left and right main landing gear (MLG) lower spindle pins to detect corrosion and applicable repair or replacement. This AD was prompted by reports of in-service findings of corrosion on the flange of the MLG lower spindle pin. This AD continues to require certain actions in AD 2022-19-09. This AD also requires changing the tracking of flight cycles for inspections from the usage of the MLG to the usage of MLG lower spindle assemblies and replacement of affected MLG lower spindle assemblies, removes airplanes from the applicability, and prohibits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions; as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Proposed AD on Boeing 787 Requires Inspections and Replacements
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) documenting pressure deck splice fittings that were possibly manufactured with an incorrect titanium alloy material. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the attach fittings and upper splice fitting of the stub beam horizontal pressure deck (HPD) to determine the type of 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 FAA Airworthiness Directives for Airbus Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-23-04, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A300 B4-600R series airplanes; all Model A300 B4-603, B4-620, and B4-622 airplanes; all Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes; and certain Model A300 F4-605R airplanes. AD 2017-23-04 requires an inspection of the upper wing skin and top stringer joints, and modification of the stringer joint couplings if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2017-23-04, it has been determined that additional airplanes may be subject to the identified unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2017-23-04 and would add airplanes, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). This proposed AD would also remove certain airplanes from the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Leonardo S.p.A. Model A119 and AW119 MKII helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of an electrical failure of the starter-generator, due to a rupture of the drive shaft, which resulted in a partial loss of battery power. This AD requires installing a battery discharge detector and revising the existing Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) for the helicopter. These actions are specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
