✈️FAA Airspace Amendments
This action revokes Jet Route J-534 and Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-349, amends VOR Federal Airways V-23 and V-165, and establishes Canadian Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-645 in the Northwestern United States. The FAA is taking this action due to the pending decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Whatcom (HUH), WA, VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid (NAVAID). The VOR portion of the Whatcom VORTAC is being decommissioned in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program. There are two airways that use the naming convention of V-23. One is located in the state of Hawaii, and the other is located in the state of California. This action affects the V-23 in the state of California and does not make any changes to the V-23 in the state of Hawaii.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Bombardier Airplanes by FAA
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-2A12 airplanes. 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.
Learn More✈️FAA Amendments to Standard Instrument Approach 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.

This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) 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 safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
Learn More✈️Amendment of Restricted Airspace at Fort Gordon
This action amends restricted areas R-3004A, R-3004B, and R- 3004C at United States (U.S.) Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM) Fort Gordon, GA. The amended airspace aligns the lateral boundaries to encompass the majority of the training complex and amends the vertical divisions for better management to activate only the airspace required to support the Army's training. It also removes restrictions on participating aircraft operations on weekends, flight above 12,000 feet above ground level (AGL), and the requirement that weather minima exceed standard Visual Flight Rules (VFR) criteria.
Learn More✈️Proposed AD for Boeing 757 Airworthiness Requirements
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 757-200 and -300 series airplanes. 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.
Learn More✈️Amendments to IFR Altitudes and Changeover Points by FAA
This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument conditions in the affected areas.
Learn More🚁FAA Airworthiness Directive for MD Helicopters
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain MD Helicopters, LLC, Model 369 (Army YOH-6A), 369A (Army OH- 6A), 369D, 369E, 369F, 369FF, 369H, 369HE, 369HM, 369HS, 500N, and 600N helicopters. This AD was prompted by multiple reports of cracked tail rotor (T/R) pedal support brackets. This AD requires repetitively inspecting certain part-numbered T/R pedal support brackets and depending on the results, replacing the T/R pedal support bracket or refinishing any exposed areas. This AD also prohibits installing certain part-numbered T/R pedal support brackets. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️New FAA Airworthiness Directive for International Aero Engines
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain International Aero Engines AG (IAE AG) Model V2522-A5, V2524- A5, V2525-D5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, V2531-E5, and V2533-A5 engines. This AD was prompted by further analysis of an event involving an IAE AG Model V2533-A5 engine that had an uncontained failure of a high-pressure turbine (HPT) 1st-stage hub that resulted in high-energy debris penetrating the engine cowling. This AD requires revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the existing maintenance manual or instructions for continued airworthiness and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to include new inspections of certain critical rotating parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Piaggio Aviation Aircraft
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Piaggio Aviation S.p.A. (Piaggio) Model P-180 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of leakage from the flexible hydraulic hoses connected to the hydraulic pump package (HPP). This proposed AD would require replacing the affected flexible hydraulic hoses. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing the affected flexible hydraulic hoses on any airplane. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
