✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Goodrich Cabin Attendant Seats
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Goodrich cabin attendant seats installed on Airbus SAS Model A330- 200 series, A330-200 Freighter series, A330-300 series, A330-841, A330- 941, A340-200 series, A340-300 series, A340-541, and A340-642 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that track attachments used on certain part-numbered seats are non-compliant. This proposed AD would require replacing all seat track attachments and hardware and re-identifying the seat with a new part number. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-25- 14, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, - 115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, - 212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. AD 2021-25-14 required repetitive inspections for cracking at the wing manhole access panel attachment holes at certain wing skin panels, and corrective action if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-25-14, new investigation results determined that additional airplanes are subject to the unsafe condition and certain structural repair manual (SRM) tasks should not be used to accomplish repairs. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2021-25-14. This AD also changes the applicability to both add and remove airplane models, updates the compliance times, and prohibits the use of certain SRM tasks for repair. 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 The Boeing Company (Boeing) Model 757-200, -200PF, and -200CB 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 proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Honda Aircraft Company LLC (Honda) Model HA-420 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by the discovery of a gap between the trailing edge wing nut plates and leading edge aileron balance weights being less than the minimum required clearance. This proposed AD would require replacing the affected left and right aileron fixed balance weights with reduced geometry fixed balance weights. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More🚁New Airworthiness Directives for Airbus Helicopters AS332C
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C helicopters. This AD was prompted by a determination that new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the existing maintenance manual (MM) or instructions for continued airworthiness (ICAs) and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for ATR Airplanes by FAA
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42- 500 and ATR72 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an investigation indicating that an erroneous monitoring of the travel limitation unit (TLU) could occur when the airplane is flying above a certain speed as a result of the logic input from either air data computer (ADC) 1 or ADC2 input. This proposed AD would require modifying airplanes by installing one or two relays and associated wiring, and testing of the TLU monitoring logic. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directives for Boeing 787 Aircraft Safety
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-08-04, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. AD 2023-08-04 requires a detailed visual inspection of all door 1 and door 3 lavatory and galley potable water systems for any missing or incorrectly installed clamshell couplings, and applicable on-condition actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-08- 04, Boeing has discovered that some couplings did not have the required safety strap and has developed a design solution that replaces the couplings with couplings that have safety straps. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2023-08-04 and require, for certain airplanes, a detailed inspection of all clamshell couplings for the presence and correct installation of safety straps at door 1 and door 3 lavatories and galleys with a potable water system, and applicable on- condition actions, which would terminate the existing requirements. The AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts at inspection locations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More🚁FAA Airworthiness Directive for Airbus H160-B Helicopters Compliance
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model H160-B helicopters. This AD was prompted by occurrences of premature in-service degradation of the main rotor swashplate assembly (swashplate) bearing. This AD requires repetitively inspecting the swashplate bearing for the presence of grease, and depending on the inspection results, performing corrective actions. This AD requires performing certain operational checks, downloading and analyzing certain data, and, depending on the results of the operational checks, further corrective actions. This AD also requires repetitively performing one flight under specific conditions. Additionally, this AD requires inspecting grease on the swashplate bearing and, depending on the inspection results, applying a certain grease or replacing the grease. This AD allows installing certain part- numbered swashplate bearings provided certain requirements are met. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️New Airworthiness Directive Impacting MHI RJ Aviation ULC Airplanes
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 an engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS) STAB TRIM Caution message that was posted, and subsequent repair that found prematurely worn teeth on a rubber bull gear (RBG) wheel in the horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA). This AD requires an inspection for part numbers and on-condition replacement of affected RBG wheels. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More🚁FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directives for Leonardo AW169 Helicopters
The FAA proposes to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2024-09-02, which applies to all Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW169 helicopters. AD 2024-09-02 requires replacing certain aft float assemblies or, as an alternative, deactivating the emergency flotation system (EFS). AD 2024-09-02 also prohibits the installation of certain forward and aft float assemblies. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-09-02, the FAA has determined that replacing additional forward float and aft float life raft assemblies (also referred to as forward and aft float assemblies) is necessary. This proposed AD would retain all actions of AD 2024-09-02 and would also require replacing certain forward and aft float assemblies within 24 months or during the next accomplishment of a maintenance task. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
