Federal Aviation Administration July 23, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Document Number: 2024-15958
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2024-07-23
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-07-13, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and - 1041 airplanes. AD 2023-07-13 requires repetitive detailed inspections of the lower attachment studs on the AFT galley complex and, depending on findings, replacement of the lower attachment studs. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-07-13, it has been determined that additional airplanes are affected, and that all affected parts must be replaced with serviceable parts. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2023-07-13, add airplanes to the applicability, and require the replacement of all affected parts, as specified in 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.
Robinson Helicopter R-22 and R-44 Special Training and Experience Requirements
Document Number: 2024-15924
Type: Rule
Date: 2024-07-23
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
In this final rule, the FAA revises the Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 73Robinson R 22/R-44 Special Training and Experience Requirements to provide consistency with other FAA regulatory requirements, training, and Airman Certification Standards and Practical Test Standards. This final rule removes the low gravity flight instruction requirement to align this Special Federal Aviation Regulation with current aircraft placard requirements and the limitations section of the Robinson Helicopter Company Rotorcraft Flight Manual/Pilot Operating Handbook set forth by Airworthiness Directives. The FAA amends certain terminology in this Special Federal Aviation Regulation to mirror the Helicopter Flying Handbook, Airman Certification Standards, and Practical Test Standards. This final rule also clarifies the awareness training endorsement and flight review requirements for less experienced pilots, removes legacy dates, and updates the applicability section to include ground and flight training, including flight reviews provided by flight instructors. Finally, the FAA adds an expiration date to the Special Federal Aviation Regulation to allow the FAA time to review and refine the R-22 and R-44 requirements for ground training, aeronautical experience, including flight training, and flight reviews, before permanently adopting them into an independent separate subchapter.
Special Conditions: Aerocon Engineering Company, Airbus Model A330-300 Series Airplane; Lower Deck Crew Rest Compartment Installation
Document Number: 2024-15854
Type: Rule
Date: 2024-07-23
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
These special conditions are issued for the Airbus Model A330- 300 series airplane. This airplane as modified by Aerocon Engineering Company (Aerocon) will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. This design feature is an installation of a lower deck crew rest compartment (LDCRC) under the passenger cabin floor in the cargo compartment. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
