✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for De Havilland Aircraft DHC-8
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracked barrel nuts at the wing front spar and horizontal stabilizer to vertical stabilizer joint. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for cracking and corrosion of the affected barrel nuts and applicable corrective actions. 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 Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of shim installations at certain stub beam to longitudinal floor beam locations that were not installed per specifications, and an evaluation by the design approval holder indicating inadequate baseline inspections for cracking of the stub beam. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for any crack of the stub beam straps at certain stations and repairing any crack found. 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 AW189 helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of a fire occurring during the operational check of the engine anti-icing system. This AD requires inspecting and measuring the resistance of the air intake electrical connectors, inspecting the bonding strap, reporting the results of the inspections, and depending on the results of the inspection, accomplishing corrective actions. This AD also prohibits the installation of an air intake controller unless certain actions are accomplished. 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 H160-B helicopters modified by Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SR00223IB. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that several self-locking nuts of the window jettisoning system could be loosened by hand due to a non-conformity in the cable kit. This proposed AD would require modifying an affected window into a serviceable window. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing an affected window on any helicopter modified with STC SR00223IB. 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 The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating that the oxygen supply tubing can become kinked when certain passenger service unit (PSU) oxygen panel assemblies are installed in the forward-most position of a center stow bin. This AD requires a one-time inspection of the affected PSU oxygen panel assemblies and applicable on-condition actions. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
