Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 130 / Monday, July 7, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
§ 39.13
[Amended]
2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding
the following new AD:
I
2008–14–10 Lockheed: Amendment 39–
15605. Docket No. FAA–2008–0740;
Directorate Identifier 2008–NM–077–AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) is
effective July 22, 2008.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to all Lockheed Model
382, 382B, 382E, 382F, 382G, and 382J series
airplanes, certificated in any category.
Unsafe Condition
(d) This AD results from a report indicating
that several upper engine mount bolts
manufactured by a certain supplier broke
during installation. We are issuing this AD to
prevent failure of the upper engine mount
bolts, which could result in reduced
structural capability of an engine mount, and
possible separation of a strut and engine from
the airplane during flight.
Compliance
(e) Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with RULES
Access and Inspection
(f) Within 10 days after the effective date
of this AD do the actions specified in
paragraphs (f)(1), (f)(2), and (f)(3) of this AD.
(1) Make the airplane safe for maintenance
in accordance with a method approved by
the Manager, Atlanta Aircraft Certification
Office (ACO), FAA. Chapter 71–00 of the
Lockheed Hercules Maintenance Manual is
one approved method.
(2) Gain access to the upper engine mount
bolts by opening the left and right cowling
doors on each engine.
(3) Inspect the visible surface head of each
bolt in the upper position of each upper
engine mount to determine whether part
number (P/N) ‘‘NAS 636’’ is stamped across
the top, and whether the manufacturer’s code
‘‘AFC’’ or ‘‘A’’ (i.e., AirFasco) is stamped
across the bottom. All other manufacturers’
codes are acceptable.
Replacement and Corrective Actions
(g) If any upper position bolt, P/N NAS
636, having ‘‘AFC’’ or ‘‘A’’ stamped across
the bottom of the surface head is found
during the inspection required by paragraph
(f)(3) of this AD, before further flight, replace
that bolt with a new bolt, P/N NAS 636,
having a manufacturers’ code other than
‘‘AFC’’ or ‘‘A,’’ in accordance with a method
approved by the Manager, Atlanta ACO,
FAA. One approved method is the following:
To replace an engine mount bolt without
removing an engine, do the actions specified
in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(8) of this AD.
If both bolts in the upper position of an
engine mount must be replaced, the
replacements must be done one at a time to
prevent alignment problems.
(1) Shut down and disconnect external
electrical power in accordance with a method
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:13 Jul 03, 2008
Jkt 214001
approved by the Manager, Atlanta ACO,
FAA. Chapter 24–40 of the Lockheed
Hercules Maintenance Manual is one
approved method.
(2) Attach a warning tag and close the
external power receptacle door.
(3) Install the nacelle hoist sling on the
power package.
(4) Lift the nacelle hoist sling enough to
take up load. Warning: When ‘‘NOLOADING’’ an engine with the sling, the
intention is to transfer most of the weight of
the engine from the airplane to the sling. This
requires some judgment on the part of the
technician. Under no circumstances should
the sling be raised enough to lift the airplane.
(5) Remove the discrepant upper engine
mount bolt and washer.
(6) Install the new upper engine mount
bolt, P/N NAS 636, having a manufacturers’
code other than ‘‘AFC’’ or ‘‘A,’’ and washer,
and torque to between 308 and 458 footpounds (3,700 to 5,500 inch-pounds).
(7) Remove the nacelle hoist sling from the
power package.
(8) Once all discrepant bolts in the upper
position of each upper engine mount have
been replaced, restore the airplane to service
in accordance with a method approved by
the Manager, Atlanta ACO, FAA. Chapter 71–
00 of the Lockheed Hercules Maintenance
Manual is one approved method.
Note 1: It is the intent of the actions
specified in paragraph (g) of this AD to allow
replacement of individual upper engine
mount bolts without having to do any other
maintenance.
Parts Installation
(h) As of the effective date of this AD, no
person may install a bolt, P/N NAS 636,
having ‘‘AFC’’ or ‘‘A’’ stamped across the
bottom of the surface head, in the upper
position of any upper engine mount, on any
airplane.
Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs)
(i)(1) The Manager, Atlanta ACO, FAA,
ATTN: Carl Gray, Aerospace Engineer,
Airframe Branch, ACE–117A, FAA, Atlanta
ACO, One Crown Center, 1895 Phoenix
Boulevard, suite 450, Atlanta, Georgia 30349;

6097; has the authority to approve AMOCs
for this AD, if requested using the procedures
found in 14 CFR 39.19.
(2) To request a different method of
compliance or a different compliance time
for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR
39.19. Before using any approved AMOC on
any airplane to which the AMOC applies,
notify your appropriate principal inspector

Comments Invited
Although this action is in the form of
a direct final rule, and was not preceded
by a notice of proposed rulemaking,
interested persons are invited to
comment on this rule by submitting
such written data, views, or arguments
as they may desire. An electronic copy
of this document may be downloaded
from https://www.regulations.gov.
Communications should identify both
docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address specified under
the caption ADDRESSES above or through

received on or before the closing date
for comments will be considered, and
this rule may be amended or withdrawn

The Rule
This amendment to Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
establishes Class E airspace at Plains,
TX, providing the airspace required to
support the new RNAV (GPS) RWY
03/21 approach developed for IFR
landings at Yoakum County Airport.
Controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface is
required to encompass all SIAPs and for
the safety of IFR operations at Yoakum
County Airport. Designations for Class
E5 airspace areas extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface of the
earth are published in the FAA Order
7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, and
effective September 15, 2007, which is
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:13 Jul 03, 2008
Jkt 214001
The regulations adopted herein will
not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the
national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among various levels of
government. Therefore, it is determined
that this final rule does not have
federalism implication under Executive
Order 13132.
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore, (1) is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal since this is a
routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in title
49, of the United States Code. Subtitle
I, section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency’s
authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated
under the authority described in subtitle
VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103.
Under that section, the FAA is charged
with prescribing regulations to assign
the use of airspace necessary to ensure
the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is
within the scope of that authority as it
establishes Class E5 airspace at Yoakum
County Airport, Plains, TX.

Unless a written adverse or negative comment or a written notice of
intent to submit an adverse or negative comment is received within the
