2004-12-02: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Raytheon Model BAe.125 series 800A, 800A (C-29A), and 800B airplanes; and Model Hawker 800 airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection of certain wire bundles for discrepancies and related corrective action. This action is necessary to find and fix chafing and damage to the wire bundles, which could result in electrical arcing and heat damage in a potential fuel zone and possible fire or explosion in the fuel tank. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
2021-19-15: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-01- 08, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series airplanes. AD 2019-01-08 required modifications for galley mounted attendant seat fittings. This AD was prompted by a report that showed a non-compliance exists on some in-service galley attendant seat fitting installations, and a determination that additional airplanes are subject to the unsafe condition. This AD requires modifications for galley mounted attendant seat fittings. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Some models have one or more suffix letter designations, others have none. (1)&(2) - Propeller model and hub serial numbers are stamped on the side of the propeller hub. The listing of hub serial numbers refers to specific hub serial numbers not series. In the event a spinner is installed, the spinner should be removed to check the model and hub (S/N) designations. The aircraft's records should likewise be checked to endure that the model and hub serial number coincide with the records. In the event an error is noted, the records should be corrected accordingly. Prior to further flight, spinners should be reinstalled where applicable. (3) - If no listing of aircraft serial numbers is indicated, applies to all applicable serial numbers of a particular aircraft model or series. Compliance required within the next 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished. To preclude the possibility of blade actuating pin failures resulting from using an incorrect actuating pin, or improper rework of the ferrules and installation of the blade actuating pins and washers (i.e., a blind actuating pin hole not tapped to the proper depth can cause stripped threads on the ends of the actuating pin resulting in severe stress and may prevent actuating pin from seating properly on the washer), accomplish the following: A. Disassemble the propeller and inspect the blade actuating pins, washers McCauley Service Bulletins No. 99 dated December 8, 1972, No. 99-1 dated December 14, 1972, No. 99-2 dated April 23, 1973, and No. 99-3 dated August 11, 1975, or later Federal Aviation Administration approved revisions. B. Prior to further flight repair or replace as necessary, any improperly installed blade actuating pins, washers and ferrules, and reassemble the propeller in accordance with McCauley Service Bulletins No. 99 dated December 8, 1972, No. 99-1 dated December 14, 1972, No. 99-2 dated April 23, 1973, No. 99-3 dated August 11, 1975, and Service Manuals 710930 and 720415, or later Federal Aviation Administration approved revisions. C. When the above propellers are released for service, compliance with this Airworthiness Directive shall be noted in the Aircraft's Records. D. The Responsible propeller repair station will notify the Federal Aviation Administration, Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, AGL-210, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, by certified mail of the results of these inspections. The disposition of the affected propeller(s) including the blade and hub serial numbers of the propellers (as received and where applicable, as returned to service) must be reported. (Reporting approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB No. 04-R-174.) The manufacturer's specifications and procedures identified in this directive are incorporated herein and made part hereof pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1). All persons affected by the directive who have not already received these documents from the manufacturer, may obtain copies upon request to McCauley Accessory Division, Cessna Aircraft Corporation, Box 7, Roosevelt Station, Dayton, Ohio 45417. These documents may also be examined at the Great Lakes Regional Office, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, and at FAA Headquarters, 800 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20591. A historical file on this airworthiness directive which includes incorporated material in full is maintained by the FAA at its Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and the Great Lakes Region. This amendment becomes effective: July 6, 1977.
2004-12-04: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 B2 and A300 B4 series airplanes, that requires modification of the 107VU electronics rack in the avionics compartment to ensure that fluid does not enter the rack. This action is necessary to prevent the loss of electrical power during flight, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
2021-25-04: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co KG (RRD) Trent 1000 model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by the manufacturer revising the engine Time Limits Manual (TLM) life limits of certain critical rotating parts and direct accumulation counting (DAC) data files. This AD requires the operator to revise the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of their existing approved aircraft maintenance program (AMP) by incorporating the revised tasks of the applicable TLM for each affected model turbofan engine, 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.

2004-11-13: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. That AD currently requires a one-time general visual inspection to determine the part number and serial number of both main landing gear (MLG) sliding tubes, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This amendment adds an additional inspection to determine only the serial number of the MLG sliding tubes. This AD is prompted by a report that the field of MLG sliding tubes subject to the identified unsafe condition has expanded. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking in an MLG sliding tube, which could result in failure of the sliding tube, loss of one axle, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. DATES: Effective June 23, 2004. The incorporation by reference of Airbus All Operators Telex A320- 32A1273, Revision 01, dated May 6, 2004, listed in the AD is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of June 23, 2004. On April 14, 2004 (69 FR 16475, March 30, 2004), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Airbus All Operators Telex A320-32A1273, dated February 5, 2004. We must receive any comments on this AD by August 9, 2004.
