🚁FAA Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Helicopters Safety Compliance
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model MBB-BK 117 D-3 helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of over-torqued swashplate bolts on helicopters in service and in production. This AD requires removal of certain swashplate bolts from service and replacement with new (never previously installed on a helicopter) bolts, a one-time inspection for damage on the threads of the bearing ring and control ring of the swashplate and, depending on the results of the inspection, corrective actions. This AD also prohibits the installation of certain swashplates on any helicopter unless certain requirements are met. 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 Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of loss of control of an outboard aileron surface due to hydraulic fluid contaminating an electronic card of the flight control remote module (FCRM). This AD requires replacing any affected elevator FCRM and prohibits installing aileron or spoiler FCRMs in place of elevator or rudder FCRMs. This AD also limits the installation of FCRMs under certain conditions. 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 DG Aviation GmbH (type certificate previously held by DG Flugzeugbau GmbH) Model DG-1000T gliders. This AD was prompted by reports of propeller separation. This AD requires revising the glider flight manual and installing "Motor INOP" placards to prohibit operation with the powerplant. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-25-06, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318-series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -133, - 151N, -153N, and -171N airplanes; Model A320-series airplanes; and Model A321-series airplanes. AD 2024-25-06 requires repetitive inspection of the main landing gear (MLG) doors, and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective actions, and prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA has determined that replacing the MLG door is necessary to address the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2024-25-06 and would require replacing affected parts with serviceable parts. 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 The Boeing Company (Boeing) Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, - 900, and -900ER series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of improper grinding of the inner diameter of the main landing gear (MLG) outer cylinders, resulting in possible heat damage to the outer cylinders. This proposed AD would require a records check or inspection to determine if an affected outer cylinder is installed and replacing all affected outer cylinders. 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 Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model EC135P1, EC135P2, EC135P2+, EC135P3, EC135T1, EC135T2, EC135T2+, EC135T3, and EC635T2+ helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of a loss of the tail rotor controls due to a broken control rod of the yaw actuator. This AD requires visual inspection of the ball pivot, fluorescent penetrant inspection of the control rod, visual inspection and measurement of certain parts of the yaw actuator assembly, and depending on the results of these inspections, corrective actions. This AD also prohibits installing an affected part unless it is a serviceable part and certain requirements are met. 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 Model EC 155B and EC155B1 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that the required forces to jettison the windows exceed the maximum jettisoning effort requirements and the development of a modification of the jettisonable windows. This proposed AD would require replacement of the jettisonable windows and seals on the sliding doors and fixed panels on the left-hand and right- hand sides. This proposed AD would also require the installation of new labels. 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 Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that some parts of horizontal stabilizer trim actuators (HSTAs) that were meant to be replaced through a required overhaul were not replaced and were instead reinstalled on the HSTAs. This proposed AD would require verification of the HSTA serial number, and, if applicable, replacement of the HSTA. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. 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 Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that the applicable aircraft flight manual (AFM) was providing an incorrect value for maximum cumulative taxi time in freezing fog conditions. This AD requires revising the existing AFM to provide the flightcrew with normal procedures to follow under certain conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
