✈️Gulfstream G150 Airworthiness Directive and Compliance Requirements
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Gulfstream G150 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that a new airworthiness limitation is necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate a new airworthiness limitation, as specified in a Civil Aviation Authority of Israel (CAAI) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

This action is an administrative change to rename the Gulf of Mexico High and Gulf of Mexico Low offshore airspace areas. The FAA is taking this action to implement the Gulf of Mexico name changes directed in Executive Order (E.O.) 14172, Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness, published January 20, 2025. This action does not change the airspace boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements.
Learn More✈️Proposed Rule for E2 Airspace Over Jacksonville, NC by FAA
This action proposes to establish Class E2 airspace extending upward from the surface above the New River Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS), Jacksonville, NC, as the air traffic control tower operates part-time. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area. This action also proposes to remove the Class E4 airspace at New River MCAS (NCA), Jacksonville, NC, due to the current designated airspace no longer meeting the requirements of its designation.

This action modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth and removes the Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at Colusa County Airport, Colusa, CA. Additionally, this action proposes administrative amendments to update the airport's Class E airspace legal description. These actions will support the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
Learn More✈️Proposed FAA Airworthiness Directives for Airbus Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-23-04, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A300 B4-600R series airplanes; all Model A300 B4-603, B4-620, and B4-622 airplanes; all Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes; and certain Model A300 F4-605R airplanes. AD 2017-23-04 requires an inspection of the upper wing skin and top stringer joints, and modification of the stringer joint couplings if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2017-23-04, it has been determined that additional airplanes may be subject to the identified unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2017-23-04 and would add airplanes, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). This proposed AD would also remove certain airplanes from the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

This action amends Jet Route J-538 and Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-129; establishes Canadian Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes Q-828, Q-945, Q-971, and T-797 within United States (U.S.) airspace; and revokes Jet Routes J-483 and J-562. The FAA is taking this action due to NAV CANADA's decommissioning of the Sioux Narrows (VBI), Ontario (ON), Canada, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR)/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigational aid (NAVAID), and the planned decommissioning of the Lumsden (VLN), Saskatchewan (SK), Canada, VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and Brandon (YBR), Manitoba (MB), Canada, VORTAC NAVAIDs. This action supports NAV CANADA's NAVAID Modernization Program.
Learn More🚁New FAA Airworthiness Directive for Leonardo S.p.A. Helicopters
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Leonardo S.p.A. Model A119 and AW119 MKII helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of an electrical failure of the starter-generator, due to a rupture of the drive shaft, which resulted in a partial loss of battery power. This AD requires installing a battery discharge detector and revising the existing Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) for the helicopter. These actions are specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Learn More✈️Analysis of RNAV Route Q-436 Amendment By FAA
This action amends United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route Q-436 by changing the name of the "EMMMA", MI, Fix route point to become the "KAYYS", MI, Fix. The FAA is taking this action due to the similarly pronounced and sounding names of the EMMMA, MI, Fix and the EMMAS, WI, waypoint (WP) that is located approximately 200 nautical miles (NM) west of the EMMMA Fix. This action is an administrative change to match the Fix name change in the FAA's National Airspace Resource (NASR) database and does not affect the airspace boundaries, route alignment, or operating requirements of Q-436.
