✈️Establishment of Restricted Airspace in North Carolina for Military Training
This action proposes to establish restricted areas R-5305A, R- 5305B, and R-5305C; Camp Lejeune, NC; and restricted areas R-5307A, R- 5307B, and R-5307C; Cherry Point, NC. The purpose of this proposal is to create additional restricted area airspace to connect restricted area R-5003, R-5004, and R-5306 complexes to contain hazardous activities such as weapon deployment, non-eye safe lasers, and artillery within larger contiguous restricted area airspace that is required to realistically simulate essential training mission tasks.

Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for MHI RJ Aviation Aircraft
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, and 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 aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) tasks are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive AMM tasks, as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Proposed FAA AD for Piaggio Model P-180 Airplanes Compliance
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-25-03, which applies to certain Piaggio Aviation S.p.A. (Piaggio) Model P-180 airplanes. AD 2023-25-03 requires a one-time detailed inspection of the horizontal stabilizer (HS) central box for corrosion; an assessment of the corrosion level; and depending on the determination, repetitive detailed inspections of the HS central box for corrosion and the internal composite structure for surface cracks, distortion, and damage; and repair or replacement of the HS assembly. Repair or replacement of the HS assembly is terminating action for the repetitive inspections. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-25-03, it was determined that AD 2023-25-03 imposed an unintended restriction that is not in the mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI). This proposed AD would retain certain actions of AD-2023-25-03 and would remove the unintended restriction. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Learn More✈️FAA Airworthiness Directive for Embraer ERJ 190-300 Air
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-23- 10, which applied to all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-300 airplanes. AD 2023-23-10 required repetitive inspections of the press-fitted bushings of the wing ailerons for migration and broken sealant, measurements of the distance between the aileron surfaces and hinge fittings, functional checks of the backlash of the wing aileron control system, and all applicable related investigative and corrective actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-23-10, it was determined that certain requirements needed to be clarified. This AD continues to require all actions of ANAC AD 2023-06-01 with revised compliance requirements, as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Amendment of Class E Airspace for Smith Center, KS - 2024
This action amends the Class E airspace at Smith Center, KS. This action is the result of an airspace review conducted due to the decommissioning of the Mankato very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. This action brings the airspace into compliance with FAA orders and supports instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures and operations.
