Thereafter, repeat the inspection at intervals not to exceed 500 flight cycles. dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with RULES Corrective Actions for Certain Inspections (n) If the chrome extension dimension of the shock strut pressure reading is outside the limits specified in the Airplane Maintenance Manual, Task 32–11–05–220– 801, or any oil leakage is found during any inspection required by paragraph (m) of this AD: Prior to further flight, service the MLG shock strut in accordance with PART C (for airplanes on the ground) or PART D (for airplanes on jacks) of the service bulletin. Detailed and Follow-On Inspections and Corrective Action (o) Prior to the accumulation of 1,000 total flight cycles on the MLG, or within 250 flight cycles after June 13, 2003, whichever occurs later: Accomplish a detailed inspection of the MLG main fittings to detect signs of cracking (including linear paint cracks along the circumference of the main fitting tube, lack of paint (paint peeling) or other paint damage, lack of adhesion or paint bulging, and signs of corrosion), per PART A of the service bulletin. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 flight cycles. Note 2: For the purposes of this AD, a detailed inspection is defined as: ‘‘An intensive visual examination of a specific structural area, system, installation, or assembly to detect damage, failure, or irregularity. Available lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good lighting at intensity deemed appropriate by the inspector. Inspection aids such as mirror, magnifying lenses, etc., may be used. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures may be required.’’ (p) If any linear paint crack along the circumference of the main fitting tube, lack of paint (paint peeling) or other paint damage, evidence of paint bulging due to lack of adhesion, or evidence of corrosion is found during any inspection required by paragraph (o) of this AD: Prior to further flight, accomplish either an eddy current inspection to detect cracking, per PART B of the service bulletin; or a fluorescent penetrant inspection to detect cracking, per PART F of the service bulletin. (1) If no cracking of the MLG main fittings is found during any inspection required by paragraph (p) of this AD: Prior to further flight, repaint and/or repair/rework any paint damage per PART B of the service bulletin. (2) If any cracking of the MLG main fittings is found during any inspection required by paragraph (p) of this AD: Prior to further VerDate Aug<31>2005 13:43 Nov 17, 2008 Jkt 217001 flight, replace any cracked MLG main fitting with a new or serviceable part per the service bulletin.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 21, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish controlled airspace at Lake 
Havasu, AZ, (73 FR 42284). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 
2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Lake Havasu City Airport, 
Lake Havasu, AZ. This rulemaking also removes the Class E airspace area 
at the old Lake Havasu Airport, which has been abandoned. Controlled 
airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft using VOR/DME (GPS) 
approach procedures at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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 FAAs authority to issue 
rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. 
Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses 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 
controlled airspace at Lake Havasu City Airport, Lake Havasu, AZ, and 
removes Class E airspace at the old abandoned Lake Havasu Airport.
