🚁Special Conditions for Helicopter Overload Protection Device Compliance

This action proposes special conditions for a supplemental type certificate (STC) to install a helicopter hoist equipped with an overload protection device (OLPD) on Sikorsky Model S-61A, S-61L, and S-61N (including those modified by STC No. SH640NE, which shortens the S-61N by 50 inches) helicopters. These helicopters, as modified by Carson Helicopters, Inc. (Carson), will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category rotorcraft. This design feature is an OLPD installed in the hoist. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed 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.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A350 Aircraft

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 a determination that the applicable aircraft flight manual (AFM) was providing an incorrect value for maximum cumulative taxi time in freezing fog conditions. This proposed AD would require revising the existing AFM to provide the flightcrew with normal procedures to follow under certain conditions, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Embraer S.A. Airplanes by FAA

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Embraer S.A. Model EMB-545 and EMB-550 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a jamming failure of the main door lock sensor. This proposed AD would require repetitive main door sensor operational tests, repetitive lubrication of the main door sensor mechanism, and on-condition actions, as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️Proposed Class D Airspace Amendment in Jupiter, FL

This action proposes to amend Class D airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 2,500 feet MSL within a 4.5- mile radius of William P. Gwinn Airport, beginning at the 205[deg] bearing from the airport clockwise to the 145[deg] bearing, thence to the beginning point. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus SAS Airplanes by FAA

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes; and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 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, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for BAE Systems Airplanes

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-02-06, which applies to all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. AD 2023-02-06 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-02-06, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2023-02-06 and 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.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A350

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-02-18, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and - 1041 airplanes. AD 2023-02-18 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-02-18, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2023-02-18 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR).

✈️FAA Airworthiness Directive for MHI RJ Aviation on 5G Interference

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 and 440), CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, and 702), CL-600- 2C11 (Regional Jet Series 550), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900), and CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This AD was prompted by the determination that radio altimeters cannot be relied upon to perform their intended function if they experience interference from wireless broadband operations in the 3.7-3.98 GHz frequency band (5G C-Band). This AD requires installing a new radio frequency (RF) bandpass filter on the coaxial line between the radio altimeter and the receive antenna in the aft equipment compartment. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
