The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a revised rule regarding safety inspections for specific Boeing CH-47D helicopters. These aircraft are currently in the “restricted category,” which usually means they are used for non-commercial purposes like flight testing or specialized work rather than standard passenger or cargo transport.
Why it matters: This is a technical safety update intended to address a specific mechanical issue in certain helicopter models. It matters primarily to aircraft owners and maintenance crews who must comply with these inspection standards to keep the helicopters legal to fly.
Who it affects
- Owners and operators of restricted category CH-47D helicopters
