✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for DAHER Aerospace Airplanes

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-06-11, which applies to certain SOCATA (type certificate now held by DAHER AEROSPACE) Model TBM 700 airplanes. AD 2007-06-11 requires repetitively inspecting the vertical stabilizer attachment fittings and bolts for cracks or corrosion, and, if necessary, repairing or replacing the damaged part and then applying a corrosion protection reinforcement. Since the FAA issued AD 2007-06-11, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, superseded the previous Direction generale de l'aviation civile (DGAC) France AD to introduce new service information providing instructions for installing new vertical stabilizer attachment fittings having improved corrosion resistant material as an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2007- 06-11 and include a new optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Gulfstream Aircraft – FAA NPRM

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Gulfstream 100, Astra SPX, and 1125 Westwind Astra airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️FAA Airworthiness Directive for Airbus SAS Aircraft Compliance

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-112 and -132 airplanes, and Model A320- 214, -232, -233, -251N, and -271N airplanes. This AD was prompted by rivet holes being left unplugged after bracket relocation or removal accomplished during certain modifications, potentially resulting in fatigue damage starting from those rivet holes. This AD requires a one- time special detailed inspection (SDI) of the rivet holes and applicable corrective actions; and allows the installation of certain modifications, provided rivets are installed after the modification. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️New Airworthiness Directives for Airbus A321-271NY by FAA

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A321-271NY airplanes. This AD was prompted by the determination that affected parts addressed by other ADs could be installed in service on this airplane model. This AD requires corrective action if necessary and prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address unsafe conditions on these products.

✈️BAE Systems Airworthiness Directives Compliance Updates

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-02- 06, which applied to all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. AD 2023-02-06 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-02- 06, new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations have been developed. This AD continues to require certain actions in AD 2023-02- 06 and requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️FAA Directive 2025-15-09 Requires Compliance for Boeing 777

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-15- 03, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 777 airplanes. AD 2024-15-03 required identifying the part number, and the serial number if applicable, of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions for affected seats. AD 2024-15-03 also required a one-time detailed inspection and repetitive checks of the horizontal movement system (HMS) for the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-15-03, the FAA determined that AD 2024-15-03 contains an error when providing conditions for taking credit using a previous revision of the service information. This AD requires the actions of AD 2024-15-03 and revises paragraph (j) of this AD to clarify which actions are not required. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

🚁New Airworthiness Directive for Bell Textron Helicopters

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bell Textron Canada Limited (Bell) Model 427 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a cracked transmission oil check valve (check valve). This proposed AD would require inspecting and measuring certain check valves and, depending on the results, repetitively inspecting and removing the check valve from service if it has leaks or is cracked. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing the affected check valves on any helicopter. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

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.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Boeing 767 Airplanes

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-200 and 767-300 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of scribe lines found at skin lap joints and butt joints, around external repairs and antennas, and at locations where external decals had been cut. For some airplanes, this proposed AD would require a detailed inspection for scribe lines and applicable related investigative and corrective actions. For other airplanes, this AD would require repetitive nondestructive testing inspections for cracking at certain stringers of the skin lap joint fuselage skin and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️FAA Issues Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A350 Compliance

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-27- 01, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2022-27-01 required replacing affected fasteners and applying additional head nut cap protection at the front and rear spars in the center wing box (CWB). Since the FAA issued AD 2022-27-01, the FAA determined that additional Airbus SAS Model A350 manufacturer serial numbers (MSNs) are affected by the same potential unsafe condition. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2022-27-01 and expands the applicability to include the additional Airbus SAS Model A350 MSNs. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
