The association commends the FAA for halting implementation of a controversial policy that would have classified pilots’ incomplete medical certification applications as denied, the same category occupied by pilots who have been evaluated as unfit to fly.

This European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) airworthiness directive (AD), ATA 24–Electrical Power–Overhead Panel Wires Interference–Inspection/Modification, takes effect May 8.

This FAA airworthiness directive (AD) supersedes AD 2021-24-09, published in 2021. The new AD, which becomes effective May 13, requires similar actions while reducing the life limits and requiring replacement of the main-rotor pitch link assemblies with part-numbered assemblies.

This FAA airworthiness directive (AD), which requires inspecting the wire harnesses at certain locations and repairing any damage, takes effect May 13.

Texas-based Paragon Network has given its 2024 Diamond Strategic Partner Award to Pilot John International.

In a move that Vertical Aviation International strongly opposes, the New York City Council on Apr. 24 passed Int. 0026-A, legislation that severely restricts nonessential helicopter operations at city-managed heliports and will ultimately prohibit all but fully electric-powered aircraft.

This proposed airworthiness directive (AD) would require determining the total cycles of certain hoist boom assemblies, inspecting those assemblies, and, depending on the results, taking corrective action. The AD would also prohibit installing those assemblies unless certain requirements are met. These actions are specified in an AD from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.

This proposed airworthiness directive (AD) would require inspecting the axial displacement of the tail-rotor driveshaft and, depending on the results, taking corrective actions, including inspecting the flexible couplings. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing a tail-rotor driveshaft unless certain procedures are followed. These actions are specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency AD.

The proposed airworthiness directive (AD) would require replacing affected engine fire detectors and prohibit installing an affected engine fire detector or an engine that contains an affected engine fire detector, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency AD.
