FAA proposes new inspections for Airbus A320ceo engines after failure incident

The FAA plans to propose new maintenance requirements for certain IAE V2500 engines used in Airbus A320ceo aircraft after an uncontained engine failure. This directive will affect over 1,500 engines in the U.S. and will require updates to maintenance manuals. The proposed rule will be published on November 12 and will include new inspections for critical engine parts. Stakeholders can comment on the proposal until December 27. The FAA estimates compliance costs will be low, around $85 per engine. This follows a series of previous directives related to engine failures, including issues with Pratt & Whitney's PW1100G engines. The FAA's ongoing inspections aim to prevent further failures and ensure safety in the A320 family of aircraft.
