Bombardier Pilots: Check Those Engine Hoses Before Your Next Flight
Published Date: 5/28/2025
Rule
Summary
If you fly certain Bombardier BD-700 airplanes, the FAA wants you to check some engine pump hoses for wear and damage to keep things safe. You’ll need to inspect the hoses and fix any problems found, all to prevent leaks or failures. This safety check is important and could save money by avoiding bigger repairs later.

Mandatory hose inspections on Bombardier BD-700s
If you fly or operate certain Bombardier Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes, the FAA requires inspection of the engine-driven pump hydraulic pressure hoses for damage and for minimum clearance from nearby hoses and pylon structure.

2026-13440, Enabling Supersonic Overland Flight
The FAA wants to let supersonic planes fly over land again by updating old rules that banned them because of loud sonic booms. Thanks to new tech that keeps booms quiet, this change will open the door for faster, cooler flights across the U.S., helping America lead the world in supersonic travel. People and companies interested in supersonic flight should share their thoughts by August 17, 2026.
2026-13126, Designation-Restrict the Operation of Unmanned Aircraft in Close Proximity to a Fixed Site Facility; Extension of Comment Period
The FAA is giving more time—until August 5, 2026—for people to share their thoughts on new rules that would limit drone flights near important fixed sites like power plants or airports. This affects drone operators and facility owners who want to keep the skies safe and secure. No new costs yet, just extra time to weigh in and help shape the rules.
2026-08943, Designation-Restrict the Operation of Unmanned Aircraft in Close Proximity to a Fixed Site Facility
The FAA is proposing new rules to keep drones away from certain important fixed sites like power plants or airports to keep everyone safe and secure. If you own or operate one of these sites, you can request a drone flight restriction zone to protect your property and people nearby. Comments are open until July 6, 2026, and these changes could affect drone pilots and site operators, but no big costs are expected.
2026-16970, Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Flight Attendant Fatigue Risk Management Plan
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on June 18, 2026. The collection involves submission of Fatigue Risk Management Plans (FRMP) for flight attendants of certificate holders operating under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 121. The certificate holders will submit the information to be collected to the FAA for review and acceptance as required by the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2026-16956, Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Engines
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-11-15, which applies to all Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent7000-72 and Trent7000-72C engines. AD 2022-11-15 requires initial and repetitive on-wing borescope inspections (BSIs) of the high-pressure turbine (HPT) blades to detect axial cracking and, depending on the results of the inspections, replacement of the HPT blade set. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-11-15, RRD issued updated service material providing improved instructions for inspection of the HPT blades, removing the reduced life limit for affected HPT blades, and revising the HPT blade limits for axial cracking. This proposed AD would continue to require initial and repetitive on-wing BSIs of the HPT blades to detect axial cracking and, depending on the results of the inspections, replacement of the HPT blade set. This proposed AD would also remove the reduced life limit for affected HPT blades. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
2026-17056, Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that large forward cargo door (LFCD) split frames may have been manufactured with a material that did not conform to type design. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the LFCD split frames for affected batch numbers and applicable on- condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is retiring Jet Route J-606 and launching a new RNAV Route Q-182 in Alaska because the Chinook radio beacon is shutting down. Pilots flying in this area will use the new, modern route to keep flights smooth and safe. This change starts soon and won’t cost anyone extra—just better flying navigation!

The FAA is making new rules for certain Airbus A321 planes because some parts on emergency exit doors moved out of place. Airlines must regularly check these parts and fix or replace them if needed to keep everyone safe. These inspections and fixes need to happen on a set schedule, so airlines should be ready to act quickly and spend some money to stay compliant.
