✈️New FAA Airworthiness Directive for Airbus SAS Aircraft Requires Compliance

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-151N, -153N, -171N, and -173N airplanes; A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; A321-251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, -253NY, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of lost synchronization between radio management panels (RMPs). This AD requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) by providing instructions to address dual loss of RMP data synchronization. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

🚁Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Helicopters Safety Compliance

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-06-13, which applies to certain Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, and AS332L1 helicopters. AD 2020-06-13 requires determining the accumulated hours time-in-service (TIS) of certain part-numbered main gearbox (MGB) suspension bar rear attachment fittings (fittings) and bolts and establishes reduced life limits. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-06-13, it was determined that modifying the MGB suspension bar fittings link and installing improved MGB suspension bar fitting bolts are necessary. This proposed AD would require modifying the MGB suspension bar link, installing newly- designed bolts, and prohibit installing certain parts. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️New Safety Standards for Boeing 777-9 by FAA

These special conditions are issued for the Boeing Company (Boeing) Model 777-9 series airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. This design feature is electrical and electronic systems that perform critical functions, the loss of which could be catastrophic to the airplane. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

✈️New Compliance Requirements for Airport Instrument Procedures

This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
