Moog has redesigned the Blocking and Thermal Relief Valve Housing with thicker material section and more radius in the area of the fracture surface. The redesigned Blocking and Thermal Relief Valve Housing is made from stainless steel instead of aluminum. This results in better fatigue performance of the Blocking and Thermal Relief Valve Housing. In addition the FAA has issued Safety Recommendation 15.115, a Boeing 757 airplane level safety issue, mandating evaluation of the spoiler actuator's blocking and thermal relief valve housing failure to determine appropriate corrective action.

Technify Motors reconsidered the design of the crankshaft belt pulley fastener P/N 05- 7223-K000501 in order to prevent loosening of the fastener and provided a report to EASA. In the report different options of locking mechanism were considered. The preferred solution was to mark the bolt with torque seal and decided to implement it. This way, the security of the correct sit of the crankshaft main bolt could be checked during inspections, to see if it was loosening over time.

The STC holder addressed through service bulletin (SB) PC-757-52-0018 a redesign of the cargo door, replacing the aluminum rods of the door with steel rods.

In addition, for both configurations, pre and post SB PC-757-52-0018, the following wind/gust limitations have been established and incorporated in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual and Operations Manual supplements:

- 45 knots up to the door canopy position, 0 (zero) knots beyond the door canopy position, for configuration pre SB PC-757-52-0018 (aluminum rods).

- 45 knots up to the door canopy position, 25 knots beyond the door canopy position, for configuration post SB PC-757-52-0018 (steel rods).

These design changes and wind/gust limitations were mandated by the FAA AD 2016-04-24, which has been adopted by EASA.

Samgöngustofa setti af stað verkefni um endurskipulagningu svæða og sjónflugsumferðar fyrir austan BIRK. Reglur um breytta tilhögun sjónflugs í Austursvæði og austur af BIRK tóku gildi 1. júní 2016. Hin breytta tilhögun er byggð á hættugreiningu og áhættumati sem unnið var af Isavia að beiðni SGS. Flugumferðarstjórar sem og notendur loftrýmis (m.a. einkaflugmenn, prófdómarar, þyrluflugmenn) tóku þátt í þeirri vinnu og SGS stýrði síðan úrvinnslu lokatillagna, sem aftur voru rýndar af SGS og tryggði SGS að sömu aðilar kæmu ekki að úrvinnslu tillagna og rýni.

Eftirfarandi breytingar má finna í AIP, sjá hér.

Training for maintenance personnel has been reviewed. Initial training for employees will include overview of privileges as well as limitations set forth for Mechanics and Technicians in CAME and regulations.

Procedures in CAME have been reviewed with this in mind, and CAME 2.10 and roles and responsibilities in 1.4 have been updated in rev. 50 with a clear definition of the different limitations. The line between Mechanic and Technician has been made clear to make sure every employee knows their limitations.

List 1.6.0 Company Staff and Authorization list will be re-issued to include all maintenance personnel and certifying staff will be re-issued to include all employees with limitations and privileges presented to make it clearer. E.g. currently the list does not contain Non Part-66 Mechanics, Airworthiness Review Staff and office personnel. In next revision this will all be added to the same list to have a clear overview for all personnel.

Training Material will be distributed to all personnel when CAME revision 50 has been accepted by ICETRA, with a special focus on Mechanics and Technicians.
