The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-08-11, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-900 and -900ER series airplanes. AD 2013-08-11 requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the fuselage skin along chem-mill steps at certain crown skin and shear wrinkle areas and repair if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2013-08-11, the FAA has determined that the compliance times are not adequate. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2013-08-11 but at reduced compliance times and would require post-modification inspections if an optional modification is accomplished. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

This action proposes to amend Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-300 due to the planned relocation of the Wiarton, Ontario (ON), Canada, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigational aid (NAVAID). This action is in support of NAV CANADA's NAVAID Modernization Program.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directives for Boeing 787 Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-01-01, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. AD 2024-01-01 requires repetitive general visual inspections (GVIs) of the area under all lavatory washbasins for evidence of intermittent and active leaks at the faucet control module (FCM) and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA has determined that the affected FCMs must be replaced with an improved design FCM to address the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions of AD 2024-01-01 and would require replacing the FCM as terminating action for the repetitive GVIs, performing a leak test, installing moisture management devices, and performing applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK 117 D-2 and MBB-BK 117 D-3 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of airspeed and altitude indication errors. This proposed AD would require revising the existing rotorcraft flight manual supplement (RFMS) for the helicopter and replacing the air conditioning system (ACS) condenser outlet grids with ACS condenser outlet covers, and would prohibit installing ACS condenser outlet grids. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️FAA Airworthiness Directive on General Electric Engines Requires Action
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34- 8C5A1, CF34-8C5A2, CF34-8C5A3, CF34-8C5B1, CF34-8E2, CF34-8E2A1, CF34- 8E5, CF34-8E5A1, CF34-8E5A2, CF34-8E6, and CF34-8E6A1 engines. This AD was prompted by a predicted reduction in the cyclic life of the combustion chamber assembly (CCA) forward flange. This AD requires fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPIs) of the CCA for any indications and replacement if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Lacon, IL. The geographic coordinates of the Marshall County Airport, Lacon, IL, 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 Bradford very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. This action would bring the airspace into compliance with FAA orders and support instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures and operations.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Pilatus Aircraft PC-24
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-24 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of an inaccurate flight director calculation on approach. This proposed AD would require incorporating a temporary revision into the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) for the affected airplanes, which revises the Abnormal Procedures Section. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More🚁FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Guimbal Helicopters
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all H[eacute]licopt[egrave]res Guimbal (HG) Model Cabri G2 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracked main rotor swashplates (swashplates). This proposed AD would require repetitively inspecting certain swashplates for cracks and, depending on the results, removing and replacing each cracked swashplate. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing an affected swashplate unless it has passed the proposed inspection requirements. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
