✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Embraer Aircraft by FAA
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Embraer S.A. Model EMB-545 and EMB-550 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a jamming failure of the main door lock sensor. This AD requires repetitive main door sensor operational tests, repetitive lubrication of the main door sensor mechanism, and on condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.August 5, 2025.

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.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVII-G500 and GVII-G600 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable to incorporate new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Proposed FAA Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A350 Compliance
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of electronic centralized aircraft monitor (ECAM) messages requiring flight control remote module (FCRM) replacement linked to solder structural fatigue. This proposed AD would require replacement of affected parts before exceeding the life limit and would limit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Airworthiness Directive for CFM International Engines Compliance
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-09- 06, which applied to all CFM International, S.A. Model (CFM) LEAP-1A23, LEAP-1A24, LEAP-1A24E1, LEAP-1A26, LEAP-1A26CJ, LEAP-1A26E1, LEAP-1A29, LEAP-1A29CJ, LEAP-1A30, LEAP-1A32, LEAP-1A33, LEAP-1A33B2, and LEAP- 1A35A (LEAP-1A) engines. AD 2023-09-06 required replacement of certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor stage 1 disks (HPT stage 1 disks), forward outer seals, and compressor rotor stages 6-10 spools. AD 2023- 09-06 also prohibited installation of an HPT stage 1 disk, forward outer seal, or compressor rotor stages 6-10 spool that has a part number and serial number identified in the service information onto any engine. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-09-06, the manufacturer identified additional affected parts that were manufactured from material suspected to have reduced material properties due to iron inclusion, which prompted this AD. This AD retains the requirements to replace certain HPT stage 1 disks, forward outer seals, and compressor rotor stages 6-10 spools and expands the applicability to include additional affected parts manufactured from the same material suspected to have reduced material properties due to iron inclusion. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Viking Air DHC-3 Inspections
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-23-08, which applies to all Viking Air Limited (Viking) Model DHC- 3 airplanes. AD 2022-23-08 requires a visual inspection of the stabilizer actuator to confirm that the stabilizer actuator lock ring is present, correctly seated in the groove in the upper housing, and engaged in the clamp nut, applicable corrective actions, application of a torque seal, and sending the inspection results to the FAA. This proposed AD would require repetitively inspecting the stabilizer actuator to confirm that the stabilizer actuator lock ring is present, correctly seated in the groove in the upper housing, and engaged in the clamp nut; taking applicable corrective actions; applying a witness mark (torque seal); and installing a secondary retention feature as terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of any stabilizer actuator unless it is a serviceable part. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Aircraft
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by an investigation of an in-service hydraulic fluid leakage event that indicated the potential use of an uncalibrated torque wrench when tightening the union fittings at the pressure and return interfaces of all three rudder hydraulic power control units (PCUs). This AD requires properly torquing the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings and applying the torque seal on the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directives for Boeing 787 Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-01-01, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. AD 2024-01-01 requires repetitive general visual inspections (GVIs) of the area under all lavatory washbasins for evidence of intermittent and active leaks at the faucet control module (FCM) and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA has determined that the affected FCMs must be replaced with an improved design FCM to address the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions of AD 2024-01-01 and would require replacing the FCM as terminating action for the repetitive GVIs, performing a leak test, installing moisture management devices, and performing applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More🚁Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Helicopters by FAA
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK 117 D-2 and MBB-BK 117 D-3 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of airspeed and altitude indication errors. This proposed AD would require revising the existing rotorcraft flight manual supplement (RFMS) for the helicopter and replacing the air conditioning system (ACS) condenser outlet grids with ACS condenser outlet covers, and would prohibit installing ACS condenser outlet grids. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
