Proposed RuleTransportation DepartmentFederal Aviation Administration
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-01-05, which applies to certain Airbus Helicopters (Eurocopter France) Model AS350B3 and EC130B4 helicopters. AD 2013-01-05 requires revising the Limitations section of the rotorcraft flight manual (RFM) supplement to reduce the starter generator operating current to 180 amperes (amps) and installing a placard in the instrument panel to indicate the revised limitation. Since the FAA issued AD 2013-01-05, the manufacturer determined the applicability needs to be revised to add helicopters equipped with certain part numbered starter generators and to remove helicopters with certain engines installed. This proposed AD would require revising the Limitations section of the RFM supplement of the existing RFM for the helicopter, to reduce the starter generator operating current to 180 amps and installing a placard in the instrument panel indicating the revised limitation. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

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 August 4, 2026. Once anonymous comment was received stating: "The agency completely omit the estimated number of annual respondents or total annual responses, making it impossible for the public to verify how the 2,560-hour total burden was calculated." The collection involves requirements in FAA regulations that set safety and oversight rules for a broad variety of sightseeing and commercial air tour flights to improve the overall safety of commercial air tours by requiring all air tours to submit information.

Proposed RuleTransportation DepartmentFederal Aviation Administration
This action proposes special conditions for the Embraer S.A. (Embraer) Model ERJ 190-400 series airplane. This airplane 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 a functionality known as the Embraer Enhanced Takeoff System (E\2\TS). The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed 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.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all CFM International, S.A. (CFM) Model CFM56-7B engines. This proposed AD was prompted by an event involving a CFM Model CFM56-7B26/3 engine where a fan blade separated and resulted in an engine in-flight shutdown (IFSD) with debris penetrating the fuselage, which caused a loss of pressurization and prompted an emergency descent. This proposed AD would require a visual inspection of the fan blades for findings considered not serviceable and, depending on the results of the inspection, replacement with a serviceable part and additional fan blade inspections. This proposed AD would also require sending the inspection results to CFM if any finding considered not serviceable is found.
