✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Helicopters Safety Compliance
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK 117 C-2, MBB- BK 117 D-2, and MBB-BK 117 D-3 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of damaged hoist hooks and hoist hook nuts. This proposed AD would require performing an inspection of the affected hoist hook and affected hook nut and, depending on the results of the inspection, replacing the affected hoist hook and affected hook nut. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing an affected assembly (hoist hook attached to the hook damper) unless it is installed using updated procedures. 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 A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that a batch of main landing gear (MLG) aft pintle pins did not have nickel plating applied to the inner bore during manufacturing. This AD requires replacing affected parts with serviceable parts and also prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Issues New Airworthiness Directive for ATR Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42-500 and ATR72-212A airplanes. This AD was prompted by a finding that dispatch with a failed main hydraulic pump under the provisions of a certain master minimum equipment list (MMEL) item, combined with failure of the DC EMER BUS, could lead to failure of multiple system losses. This AD requires revising the existing minimum equipment list (MEL) to incorporate new provisions to ensure appropriate actions are taken when the airplane is dispatched with one inoperative main hydraulic pump. 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 Leonardo S.p.A. Model A109A, A109A II, A109C, A109K2, and A119 helicopters and certain AW119 MKII helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of incorrect installation of the bolts that attach the pitch (longitudinal) actuator assembly and the roll (lateral) actuator assembly to their respective bellcrank assemblies of the cyclic control system. This AD requires inspecting the bolts for proper installation and, depending on the results, performing corrective 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 certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500- 1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that the interface pin of the secondary load path in the upper gimbal of the horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA) was incorrectly installed. This AD requires a detailed visual inspection of the interface pin of the HSTA to determine if the interface pin is incorrectly installed, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Airworthiness Directive Correction for Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model A319-151N, -153N, -171N, and -173N airplanes; Model A320-251N, - 252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and Model A321-251N, - 252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, -272NX, - 253NY, and -271NY airplanes. As published, a reference to a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD specified in the regulatory text is incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model AS332L, AS 332L1, AS 332L2, and EC 225LP helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of a corroded emergency sea anchor pin. This AD requires inspecting the emergency sea anchor and, depending on the result, replacing the emergency sea anchor. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for MHI RJ Aviation Maintenance
The FAA proposes to adopt 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 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.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for ATR Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42- 300, -320, -500, ATR72-201, and -212A airplanes, and for all ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR72-102, -202, -211, and - 212 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an inspection on the ATR final assembly line that found a fire extinguishing tube, located on the ceiling of the aft cargo compartment, disconnected from its sleeve. This proposed AD would require a functional check of the aft cargo fire extinguishing system and applicable on-condition actions, if necessary. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would also require an additional functional check and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for ATR Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and Model ATR72 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a design review that determined that the inspection interval of the pressure regulator and shut-off valve (PRSOV) functional test must be reduced to meet the design safety objectives, due to a risk of dormant failures. This proposed AD would require repetitive functional tests of each PRSOV, and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
