✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Pilatus Aircraft PC-24
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-24 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of an inaccurate flight director calculation on approach. This proposed AD would require incorporating a temporary revision into the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) for the affected airplanes, which revises the Abnormal Procedures Section. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all H[eacute]licopt[egrave]res Guimbal (HG) Model Cabri G2 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracked main rotor swashplates (swashplates). This proposed AD would require repetitively inspecting certain swashplates for cracks and, depending on the results, removing and replacing each cracked swashplate. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing an affected swashplate unless it has passed the proposed inspection requirements. 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 General Electric Company (GE) Model CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34- 8C5A1, CF34-8C5A2, CF34-8C5A3, CF34-8C5B1, CF34-8E2, CF34-8E2A1, CF34- 8E5, CF34-8E5A1, CF34-8E5A2, CF34-8E6, and CF34-8E6A1 engines. This AD was prompted by a predicted reduction in the cyclic life of the combustion chamber assembly (CCA) forward flange. This AD requires fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPIs) of the CCA for any indications and replacement if necessary. 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 Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK 117 D-2 and MBB-BK 117 D-3 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of airspeed and altitude indication errors. This proposed AD would require revising the existing rotorcraft flight manual supplement (RFMS) for the helicopter and replacing the air conditioning system (ACS) condenser outlet grids with ACS condenser outlet covers, and would prohibit installing ACS condenser outlet grids. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of multiple instances of loss of transponder for airplanes entering airspace in the presence of continuous wave (CW) interference, where the transponder did not meet the minimum operational performance standards (MOPS) requirement for transponder response. This proposed AD would require replacing the left and right integrated surveillance system processor unit (ISSPU) hardware. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Issues Special Conditions for Boeing 747-8 Safety Standards
These special conditions are issued for the The Boeing Company (Boeing) Model 747-8 series airplane. This airplane, as modified by Boeing, will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. This design feature is the installation of stairs for flightcrew to access the forward and aft lower lobe compartments during flight. These compartments will have two main functions: storage of service items and that of a Class C cargo compartment. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Ipeco Holdings Limited (Ipeco) pilot and co-pilot seats. This AD was prompted by reports of unexpected rearward movement of pilot and co-pilot seats during take-off and landing. This AD requires a one-time visual inspection of each affected seat, accomplishment of applicable corrective actions, and operational tests. 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 certain International Aero Engines AG (IAE AG) Model V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2525-D5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, V2531-E5, and V2533-A5 engines. This proposed AD was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed a quality escape following angled ultrasonic inspections (AUSIs) performed on certain high- pressure turbine (HPT) 1st-stage hubs and HPT 2nd-stage hubs. This proposed AD would require removal and replacement of certain HPT 1st- stage hubs and HPT 2nd-stage hubs. 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 Bombardier Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that incorrect information was found in certain calculation tables in a section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) that addresses certain slat-flap conditions. This AD requires revising the Non-Normal Procedures section of the existing AFM to provide the flightcrew with corrected procedures to use in certain slat-flap conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
