Dispatch Ban for Two Airbus Models
The FAA proposes a new airworthiness rule that would add a prohibition on flight dispatch under certain conditions for Airbus Canada Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. This change revises a prior proposal and would impose an additional burden that could change how airlines plan flights and possibly add some costs. The FAA is asking for public comments on this supplemental proposal before finalizing it.
