✈️FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Dassault Falcon 7X
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-12-10, which applies to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. AD 2022-12-10 requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to provide emergency procedures for inconsistent or unreliable flight data, emergency and abnormal operations procedures for the generic input/output (GEN I/O) internal module failure, and emergency procedures for additional information. AD 2022-12-10 also requires revising the existing minimum equipment list (MEL) for the multi-function probe heating, air data, and inertial reference systems. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-12-10, the manufacturer developed modifications that fix a weak point in the avionics architecture. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2022-12-10 and would remove certain airplanes from the applicability. This proposed AD would also require modification of the avionics system and related revisions to the existing AFM and MEL. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-19-16, which applies to all CFM International, S.A. (CFM) Model LEAP-1A23, -1A24, -1A24E1, -1A26, -1A26E1, -1A26CJ, -1A29, -1A29CJ, - 1A30, -1A32, -1A33, -1A33B2, and -1A35A engines with certain full authority digital engine control (FADEC) and prognostic health monitoring (PHM) software installed. AD 2018-19-16 requires removing certain FADEC and PHM software and installing versions eligible for installation. Since the FAA issued AD 2018-19-16, the manufacturer has developed a new pressure subsystem (PSS) with a heater element to evaporate potential moisture on the PSS manifold/transducer interface and prevent freezing at low temperature. This proposed AD would require replacing certain FADEC and PHM software with new versions that are eligible for installation, replacement of certain harnesses with newly designed harnesses, and replacement of the PSS with a newly designed heated PSS. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-01- 06, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, -300F, and -400ER series airplanes. AD 2025-01-06 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 2025-01-06 also required a one-time detailed inspection and repetitive checks of the horizontal movement system (HMS) of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-01-06, the FAA determined that AD 2025-01-06 contains an error when providing conditions for taking credit using a previous revision of the service information. This AD requires the actions of AD 2025-01-06 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.

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.

Learn More🚁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.
