🚁Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Safran Helicopter Engines

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Safran) Model Arriel 2E engines. This proposed AD was prompted by the determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising existing maintenance or inspection program, to incorporate the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the existing approved aircraft maintenance program (AMP), as applicable. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Dassault Falcon 2000EX Airplanes

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of simultaneous failures of the main DC buses powered by Generator 1 (GEN1), and Generator 2 (GEN2) after flap extension during approach. This proposed AD would require revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️New Airworthiness Directives for De Havilland Aircraft Announced

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-16- 09, which applied to certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. AD 2019-16-09 required one-time inspections for cracks and damage of the elevator power control unit (PCU) brackets and surrounding area, horizontal stabilizer rear spar, elevator front spar, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-16-09, new findings have been reported as a result of maintenance activities and/or inspections. This AD continues to require certain actions in AD 2019-16-09 and requires repeating the inspections one time and performing applicable on- condition actions. This AD also removes an airplane model from the applicability and provides optional terminating action for repetitive inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Canada Aircraft

The FAA is revising a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would have applied to certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. This action revises the NPRM by adding a requirement to re-identify the ceiling panel liners. The FAA is proposing this airworthiness directive (AD) to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions would impose an additional burden over those in the NPRM, the FAA is requesting comments on this SNPRM.

🚁New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Helicopters MBB-BK 117 D-3

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model MBB-BK 117 D-3 helicopters. This AD is prompted by reports of momentary direct current (DC) power interruption in flight of both essential busses. This AD requires revising the existing rotorcraft flight manual (RFM) to incorporate an emergency and malfunction procedure. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️Proposed FAA Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Airplanes

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-03-07, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes, and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, - 213, -231, -232, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -251NX, -252NX, - 253NX, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes. AD 2025-03-07 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-03-07, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2025-03-07 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, and would expand the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
