✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for De Havilland Aircraft DHC-8

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracked barrel nuts at the wing front spar and horizontal stabilizer to vertical stabilizer joint. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for cracking and corrosion of the affected barrel nuts and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️FAA Airworthiness Directive Requiring Inspections for GE Engines

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-06-02 for all GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. (GEAC) Model M601D-11, M601E-11, M601E-11A, M601E-11AS, M601E-11S, and M601F engines. AD 2024-06-02 required a one-time detailed visual inspection (DVI) of the compressor case pad welds for any crack, and replacement of the compressor case if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-06-02, the manufacturer determined that the compliance time for the DVI can be extended, and repetitive inspections of the centrifugal compressor case must be accomplished. This AD requires performing repetitive DVIs of the compressor case pad welds for any crack, replacing the compressor case if necessary, and sending certain inspection results to the manufacturer. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️FAA Final Rule on Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A350 Aircraft

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-03- 14, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2020-03-14 required an inspection of affected crew oxygen cylinder assemblies for any discrepancy and replacement of discrepant crew oxygen cylinder assemblies with serviceable parts, and allowed installation of affected parts under certain conditions. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-03-14, the supplier introduced an improved crew oxygen cylinder assembly, that will ensure the correct function of the system. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2020-03-14, requires replacement of all affected parts with redesigned parts, and also prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️New Airworthiness Directive Impacts Airbus Canada Airlines

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a design review that discovered software protection logic for potential large leaks from the engine bleed duct inside the engine core compartments was partially impaired. This AD requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to incorporate the procedures for the flightcrew to manually isolate the opposite functional engine in the event of an engine bleed duct large leak condition, as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is incorporated by reference (IBR). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
