This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the Federal Register on May 13, 2025, amending Colored Federal Airways Green 8 (G-8), Green 10 (G-10), Green 12 (G-12), and Red 99 (R-99); Revocation of Colored Federal Airway Blue 27 (B-27) and Alaskan Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-619 in Alaska.
Learn More✈️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.
Learn More✈️FAA Notice on Remote Pilot Certification Information Collection
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves information submitted on FAA form 8710-13 (Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application) by persons applying for a Part 107 remote pilot certificate and/or rating. A Part 107 remote pilot certificate and/or rating is required to act as remote pilot in command of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) being operated under Part 107. The form requires an applicant to provide information such as their name, address, physical characteristics (height, weight, etc.), existing pilot certificates, and whether the applicant took the knowledge test or training course. The applicant must provide proof of completion of a knowledge test or training course, as applicable, with the application. The information to be collected will be used to identify and evaluate your qualifications and eligibility for the issuance of a remote pilot certificate and/or rating. Form 8710-13 can be submitted electronically using the FAA's online Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA), by mail, or in person at certain FAA facilities.
Learn More✈️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.

Learn More✈️Proposed Airspace Amendments Over Nantucket, MA by FAA
This action proposes to amend Class D airspace at Nantucket Memorial Airport, Nantucket, MA, due to the current designated airspace not properly containing instrument flight rule (IFR) operations. Additionally, this action proposes to amend Class E4 airspace at Nantucket Memorial Airport, Nantucket, MA, due to portions no longer meeting the requirements of its designation. This action also proposes to amend the Class E5 airspace that no longer meets the requirements for its specific designation due to the amendment or cancellation of Standard Instrument Approach Procedures at Nantucket Memorial Airport, Nantucket, MA. This action also proposes to make editorial changes to the airspace descriptions to reflect current geographic information and naming conventions.
Learn More✈️Newark Liberty Airport's New Targeted Scheduling Limits Regulation
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued an interim order setting targeted scheduling limits for flights at Newark Liberty International Airport to alleviate congestion and delays. This order affects U.S. air carriers' operations and is aimed at improving air traffic efficiency during peak times, particularly amid ongoing construction and staffing challenges.
Learn More✈️FAA Final Rule on 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 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.
