✈️Airworthiness Directive for CFM LEAP-1B Engines

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain CFM International, S.A. (CFM) Model LEAP-1B engines. This AD was prompted by a report of a quality escape involving certain high- pressure compressor (HPC) stage 2 seals manufactured without detailed finish machining, which could result in deeper rubs and mechanical damage to the seal teeth of the stage 3-4 compressor rotor blisk (stage 3-4 blisk) of the mating compressor rotor during initial operation. This AD requires a visual inspection of the HPC stage 2 seal, a visual inspection of the forward arm seal teeth of the stage 3-4 blisk, an eddy current inspection (ECI) of the forward arm seal teeth of the stage 3-4 blisk, and replacement of the HPC stage 2 seal and the stage 3-4 blisk, if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

🚫FDA Denies Hearing; Jiao Debarred for Five Years from Drug Imports

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is denying a request for a hearing submitted by Yong Sheng Jiao, also known as Yongsheng Jiao and Wilson Jiao (Jiao), and is issuing an order under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) debarring Jiao for 5 years from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States. FDA bases this order on a finding that Jiao was convicted of a felony under Federal law for conduct relating to the importation into the United States of any drug or controlled substance under the FD&C Act. In determining the appropriateness and period of Jiao's debarment, FDA considered the relevant factors listed in the FD&C Act. Jiao submitted a request for hearing but failed to file with the Agency information and analyses sufficient to create a basis for a hearing.
