✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Aircraft Requires Compliance

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a widespread fatigue damage (WFD) scenario review for a certification project that indicated several cracks found around the potable water and wastewater service panels were WFD instead of typical fatigue. This AD requires modification of the potable water and wastewater service panels, as 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.

✈️New Airworthiness Directive Impacts Airbus SAS Operators' Compliance Costs

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes, Model A319-111, -112, - 113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, - 131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. This AD was prompted by cracks being found during full-scale fatigue testing of the keel beam bottom panel between the edge profile and stringer run-out at a certain frame and stringer. This AD requires repetitive special detailed inspections (SDI) of the affected area, and corrective actions, if necessary, as 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.

✈️New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A330

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A330-243, -243F, -841, and -941 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of loss of data synchronization between radio management panels (RMPs) and the audio management unit (AMU). This AD requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) by providing instructions to address dual loss of RMP data synchronization, and the existing minimum equipment list (MEL) by removing relief for an inoperative RMP 3. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

⚛️NRC Confirms Effective Date for HI-STORM 100 Cask Compliance Updates

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the effective date of May 27, 2025, for the direct final rule that was published in the Federal Register on March 13, 2025. This direct final rule amended the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing within the "List of approved spent fuel storage casks" to include Renewed Amendment No. 19 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1014. Renewed Amendment No. 19 revises the certificate of compliance to update the acceptance criteria and method of evaluation (MOE) for the HI-STORM 100 system tipover accident for equipment combinations involving multi- purpose canisters with Metamic-HT baskets. This involves applying a new stress-based criteria and completing new evaluations consistent with the new tipover acceptance criteria and MOE and involves some adjustments of the existing deflection criteria.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A350-941 and 1041 Aircraft

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of deep spot faces on rib 9 at the lower flange bolting with the lower spar. This proposed AD would require a special detailed inspection for discrepancies of certain pylon bolts, and applicable corrective actions, 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 Boeing 717-200 Aircraft

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 717-200 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a nose landing gear-up landing caused by the failure of the upper lock link assembly. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for cracking of the upper lock link assembly and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Boeing 767 Airplanes

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-200, 767-300, 767-300F, and 767-400ER airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a heavy maintenance check that found corrosion damage on a Model 767 satellite communications (SATCOM) high gain antenna adapter plate. This proposed AD would require repetitive detailed inspections (DET) of the SATCOM high gain antenna adapter plate for corrosion and applicable on- condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
