76-06-06: 76-06-06 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION: Amendment 39-2547. Applies to Piper Model PA-12 airplanes certificated in all categories equipped with Piper Model PA-14 wing flaps in accordance with STC No. SA231AL. NOTE: STC No. SA231AL incorporates Rodney E. Schaeffer Drawing PA-12-1001, Revision "A", dated September 15, 1975. Compliance is required within the next 50 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished. To prevent a loss of flap control, inspect the flap control system to ensure that six flap control pulley guards are installed in accordance with the Rodney E. Schaeffer Drawing PA-12- 1001, Revision "A", dated September 15, 1975, or an FAA approved equivalent. Install those pulley guards which are found to be missing. NOTE: Copies of the Rodney E. Schaeffer Drawing PA-12-1001, Revision "A", dated September 15, 1975, may be obtained from Rodney E. Schaeffer, 1253 Cramer, Wichita, Kansas, 67212. This drawing may also be examined at the FAA Alaska Region, 632 Sixth Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99501, and at FAA Headquarters, 800 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20591. This amendment becomes effective on March 25, 1976.
2023-23-11: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-12- 07, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A318-111, -112, -121, and - 122 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. AD 2019-12-07 required replacement of both main landing gear (MLG) shock absorbers, an identification of affected MLG sliding tubes; inspection of affected chromium plates and sliding tube axles for damage; and replacement of the sliding tube if necessary. AD 2019- 12-07 also required repetitive inspections of affected MLG sliding tubes for cracking, replacement of cracked MLG sliding tubes, and eventual replacement of each affected MLG sliding tube. This AD continues to require the actions specified in AD 2019-12-07 and requires repetitive inspections of additional MLG sliding tubes, replacement if necessary, and eventual replacement of the additional MLG sliding tubes. This AD also extends the repetitive inspection interval. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. This AD was prompted by the FAA's determination that additional MLG sliding tubes are affected by the unsafe condition and that the repetitive inspection interval may be extended. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
2005-05-19: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to certain Boeing Model 727 airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive detailed inspections to detect cracking, corrosion, and existing stop-drilled repairs of cracking in the upper chord of the rear spar of the wing; and repair if necessary. This new AD requires new repetitive inspections to detect cracks, corrosion, minor surface defects, and existing stop-drilled repairs of cracks in the upper and lower chords of the front and rear spars of the wing; and repair if necessary. This AD is prompted by our determination that further rulemaking action is necessary to require additional actions specified in the referenced service bulletin. We are issuing this AD to prevent structural failure of the wing and fuel leaks in the airplane due to stress corrosion cracking of the wing spar chords.
2023-24-05: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant) airplanes. This AD was prompted by sleeve loops on some passenger oxygen mask lanyards that had improper crimping and unsealed ends. This AD requires an inspection of the passenger oxygen mask lanyards and replacement of defective oxygen mask lanyards. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

2023-22-18: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Model DA 62 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of baggage nets installed with defective buckles, which may result in failure of the baggage net to restrain the baggage or cargo, which could lead to injury to the occupants in the case of an emergency landing. This AD requires identifying and replacing the affected part. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
2005-06-04: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive inspections of the left and right engine throttle control gearboxes for wear, and corrective action if necessary. The existing AD was prompted by numerous failures of the engine throttle control gearbox, some of which resulted in an in-flight engine shutdown. This AD adds airplanes to the applicability of the existing AD. We are issuing this AD to prevent excessive wear of the gearboxes and subsequent movement or jamming of the engine throttle; movement of the throttle towards the idle position brings it close to the fuel shut-off position, which could result in an in-flight engine shutdown. DATES: Effective April 1, 2005. On July 9, 2004 (69 FR 35239, June 24, 2004), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-76-019, Revision `A,' dated February 19, 2004. On March 25, 2004 (69 FR 11293, March 10, 2004), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-76-019, dated August 21, 2003. We must receive any comments on this AD by May 16, 2005.
2023-23-02: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440), CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702), CL-600-2C11 (Regional Jet Series 550), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900), and CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of power control unit (PCU) rod end fractures due to pitting corrosion, and a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires, for certain airplanes, revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD also requires accomplishing certain aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) tasks and corrective actions following short-term or long-term storage. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
78-20-09: 78-20-09 GULFSTREAM AMERICAN CORPORATION (GAC) (FORMERLY GRUMMAN AMERICAN AVIATION CORPORATION (GAAC): Amendment 39-3309. Applies to Model GA-7 serial numbers GA7-001 through GA7-0039. Compliance is required within the next 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished. To prevent a hazard to the airplane caused by excessive force required to move the fuel selector valve from one position to another position, accomplish the following: (1) Remove the two original fuel selector valves, Gerdes Part Number A980-5, and install two new improved fuel selector valves, Gerdes Part Number A980-7, utilizing the procedures and precautions contained in GA-7 Maintenance Manual, Section 28-2-1, pages 202 and 204, Fuel Selector Valve Removal, and Fuel Selector Valve Installations. (2) After the Gerdes Part Number A980-7 fuel selector valve installation has been completed in accordance with the above Maintenance Manual procedures, set each selector to ON, OFF, and CROSSFEED positions while observing each selector valve to ensure that the valve operates correctly, no fuel leakage occurs, and a positive detent is noted at each position selected on the valve. (Gulfstream American Service Bulletin No. ME-10 dated August 16, 1978 applies to this same subject.) This amendment becomes effective October 9, 1978.
97-08-05: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 747-100, -200, and -300 series airplanes, that requires replacement of certain switches in the cabin attendant's panel at door 4 right and door 2 right with new improved switches. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that fires have occurred on some airplanes due to the internal failure of some of these switches. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the installation and use of switches that could short circuit when they fail, and consequently cause fire and smoke aboard the airplane.
