✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Bombardier Airplanes by FAA
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that some parts of horizontal stabilizer trim actuators (HSTAs) that were meant to be replaced through a required overhaul were not replaced and were instead reinstalled on the HSTAs. This proposed AD would require verification of the HSTA serial number, and, if applicable, replacement of the HSTA. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Embraer S.A. Model EMB-545 and EMB-550 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a jamming failure of the main door lock sensor. This AD requires repetitive main door sensor operational tests, repetitive lubrication of the main door sensor mechanism, and on condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.August 5, 2025.

The FAA proposes to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2024-09-02, which applies to all Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW169 helicopters. AD 2024-09-02 requires replacing certain aft float assemblies or, as an alternative, deactivating the emergency flotation system (EFS). AD 2024-09-02 also prohibits the installation of certain forward and aft float assemblies. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-09-02, the FAA has determined that replacing additional forward float and aft float life raft assemblies (also referred to as forward and aft float assemblies) is necessary. This proposed AD would retain all actions of AD 2024-09-02 and would also require replacing certain forward and aft float assemblies within 24 months or during the next accomplishment of a maintenance task. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus SAS A350 Aircraft
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that the applicable aircraft flight manual (AFM) was providing an incorrect value for maximum cumulative taxi time in freezing fog conditions. This AD requires revising the existing AFM to provide the flightcrew with normal procedures to follow under certain conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Amendments to Standard Instrument Approach Procedures
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✈️Proposed FAA Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A350 Compliance
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of electronic centralized aircraft monitor (ECAM) messages requiring flight control remote module (FCRM) replacement linked to solder structural fatigue. This proposed AD would require replacement of affected parts before exceeding the life limit and would limit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airspace Amendments for Elkhart and Goshen, IN
This action proposes to amend the Class D and Class E airspace at Elkhart, IN, and the Class E airspace at Goshen, IN. The geographic coordinates of the Elkhart Municipal Airport, Elkhart, IN, and the Goshen Municipal Airport, Goshen, IN, would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of airspace reviews conducted due to the decommissioning of the Goshen very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. This action will bring the airspace into compliance with FAA orders and supports instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures and operations.
