FAA Federal Register Final Rules (22,897 docs: 12,805 Airworthiness Directives + 5,100 airspace + others)

Dataset · US Federal Aviation Administration · primary source ↗

Every FAA Final Rule published in the Federal Register 1994-2026 — most are **Airworthiness Directives** (mandatory aircraft-fleet fix orders, the FAA equivalent of NHTSA recalls) against Boeing, Airbus, Dassault, ATR-GIE, Cessna, etc. Each AD mandates: every plane of model X must comply with fix Y by date Z or be grounded. Recent examples (May 2026): Airbus SAS Airplanes (multiple), Dassault Aviation Airplanes, ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional. Also 5,100 airspace reclassifications (Class B/C/D/E around airports) and 50 flight-standards rules. Complements existing NTSB aviation accidents (94k post-event records, 49.8k deaths) with the regulator's pre-emptive layer. Source: `federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents.json` (FAA agency filter + RULE type, paginated year-by-year 1994-2026 to bypass 10k cap).
