FAA Proposes Repair for Pilatus PC-24 Windshield Heating Relay

The FAA has published a proposed rule that would require operators of certain Pilatus PC-24 business jets to replace a specific electrical component called a solid-state relay (SSR). The FAA is proposing to adopt a safety directive originally issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and incorporate it into U.S. regulations.
Why it matters: This is a routine safety update rather than a major policy shift. It ensures that emergency windshield heating will work as intended during a specific electrical failure scenario. For most pilots and operators, the practical impact is simply scheduling a maintenance visit and handing over the paperwork to the FAA once the relay is replaced.
