Learn More✈️Airworthiness Directive for Pilatus Aircraft Model PC-24 Compliance
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-26- 05, which applied to certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC- 24 airplanes. AD 2023-26-05 required periodic replacement of affected titanium threaded bolts, a one-time inspection of the rudder mass balance arm and other elements of the rudder trim tab installation for correct attachment, damage (gouges), cracks, deformation, surface finish, and corrosion on any surrounding parts and, depending on findings, the accomplishment of applicable corrective actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-26-05, it was determined that some batches of titanium bolts had variations in the microstructure that could affect the fatigue characteristics. This AD requires replacing affected short rudder-trim control rod assemblies with serviceable rudder-trim control rod assemblies having threaded steel bolts and prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Learn More🎨FDA Guidance on Replacing Color Additives in Drug Products
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled "Replacing Color Additives in Approved or Marketed Drug Products." This draft guidance provides recommendations for replacing color additives in approved or marketed drug products. If a color additive is replaced in a drug product, information to support the change should be retained and available at the manufacturing facility. Additionally, this draft guidance recommends that new drug application (NDA) and abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) holders submit information to support color additive replacements in changes being effected in 30 days (CBE-30) supplements. Although a qualitative or quantitative change to an inactive ingredient is generally considered a major change, in many cases, replacing a color additive with one that is listed in the color additive regulations is unlikely to adversely affect the identity, strength, quality, purity, or potency of the drug product. Therefore, this draft guidance recommends a CBE-30 for such a change.
