Airplanes *Proposed Rule* — Transportation Department · Federal Aviation Administration The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-17-07, which applies to certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2021-17-07 requires inspecting for damage of the left and right motive flow (MF) flexible fuel line assemblies (including the flexible hose and shroud assemblies), and replacing damaged parts. Since the FAA issued AD 2021- 17-07, the FAA has determined that four additional airplanes may be subject to the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2021-17-07 and expand the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. - **Comments close** 19 October 2026 (in 45 days) 91 FR 56377 · FR Doc. 2026-17967 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-02/pdf/2026-17967.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/02/2026-17967/airworthiness-directives-airbus-canada-limited-partnership-type-certificate-previously-held-by-c) ### Establishment of Special Air Traffic Rules in the Vicinity of President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT) *Proposed Rule* — Transportation Department · Federal Aviation Administration FAA proposes to implement certain Special Air Traffic Rules in the airspace in the vicinity of the President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT), formerly Palm Beach International Airport (PBI).

Trump International Airport Special Flight Rules Area unless certain conditions are met. - **Comments close** 2 October 2026 (in 28 days) 91 FR 56380 · FR Doc. 2026-17957 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-02/pdf/2026-17957.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/02/2026-17957/establishment-of-special-air-traffic-rules-in-the-vicinity-of-president-donald-j-trump-international) ## 1 September 2026 — 4 documents [the whole issue for this day](https://downstream.sh/daily/2026-09-01.md) > The Federal Aviation Administration published two notices summarizing petitions for exemption from aviation regulations and two proposed rules modifying airspace and helicopter airworthiness requirements. — via Downstream, https://downstream.sh/daily/agency/federal-aviation-administration/#s-2026-09-01 *Machine-written by `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` from the documents below.* ### Petition for Exemption; Summary of Petition Received; Texas Woman's University *Notice* — Transportation Department · Federal Aviation Administration This notice contains a summary of a petition seeking relief from specified requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations.

This action would modify the dimensions of the New Haven, CT Class D airspace to appropriately contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the Tweed/New Haven Airport. This action would also update verbiage in the Class D airspace legal description to comply with current FAA guidance. This action would also update the airport name and geographic coordinates for Tweed/New Haven airport in both the Class D and Class E5 airspace legal descriptions. This action would also remove the exclusions for adjacent Class E5 airspace from the New Haven, CT Class E5 airspace legal description. - **Comments close** 16 October 2026 (in 42 days) 91 FR 56083 · FR Doc. 2026-17867 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-01/pdf/2026-17867.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/01/2026-17867/amendment-of-class-d-airspace-and-class-e-airspace-over-new-haven-ct) ### Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters *Proposed Rule* — Transportation Department · Federal Aviation Administration The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-08-06, which applies to certain Airbus Helicopters Model SA330J helicopters. AD 2025-08-06 requires repetitively inspecting for a gap between the main gearbox (MGB) oil cooling fan assembly rotor blade and the upper section of the guide vane bearing housing, replacing the MGB fan rotor bearings with serviceable bearings if necessary, and at a later compliance time replacing the MGB fan rotor bearing assembly with an improved MGB fan rotor bearing assembly, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspections. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-08-06, the FAA has determined that the compliance time for installing the improved MGB fan rotor bearing assembly should be extended. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2025-08-06 and would increase the compliance time for installing the improved MGB fan rotor bearing assembly. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing any MGB fan rotor bearings and any MGB fan rotor bearing assembly, unless certain requirements are met. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. - **Comments close** 16 October 2026 (in 42 days) 91 FR 56081 · FR Doc. 2026-17840 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-01/pdf/2026-17840.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/01/2026-17840/airworthiness-directives-airbus-helicopters) ## 31 August 2026 — 3 documents [the whole issue for this day](https://downstream.sh/daily/2026-08-31.md) > The Federal Aviation Administration published a rule amending airspace designations, and two notices regarding slot sales at LaGuardia Airport and airport property release in Kansas. — via Downstream, https://downstream.sh/daily/agency/federal-aviation-administration/#s-2026-08-31 *Machine-written by `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` from the documents below.* ### Petition for Exemption and Other Relief *Notice* — Transportation Department · Federal Aviation Administration On July 23, 2026, JetBlue Airways Corporation (JetBlue) and Spirit Airlines, LLC (Spirit) (together, the carriers) petitioned the Department of Transportation (the Department) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an exemption from the prohibition on selling or purchasing Operating Authorizations (slots) at New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA).
