Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 26, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
(c) Consideration of certain failure
conditions may be required by other
sections of 14 CFR part 25 regardless of
calculated system reliability. Where
analysis shows the probability of these
failure conditions to be less than 10·9,
criteria other than those specified in this
paragraph may be used for structural
substantiation to show continued safe
flight and landing.
4. Failure indications. For system
failure detection and indication, the
following apply:
(a) The system must be checked for
failure conditions, not extremely
improbable, that degrade the structural
capability below the level required by
part 25 or significantly reduce the
reliability of the remaining system. As
far as reasonably practicable, the flight
crew must be made aware of these
failures before flight. Certain elements
of the control system, such as
mechanical and hydraulic components,
may use special periodic inspections,
and electronic components may use
daily checks, in lieu of detection-andindication systems to achieve the
objective of this requirement. These
certification-maintenance requirements
must be limited to components that are
not readily detectable by normal
detection-and-indication systems and
where service history shows that
inspections provide an adequate level of
safety.
(b) The existence of any failure
condition, not extremely improbable,
during flight that could significantly
affect the structural capability of the
airplane, and for which the associated
reduction in airworthiness can be
minimized by suitable flight limitations,
must be signaled to the flight crew. For
example, failure conditions that result
in a factor of safety between the airplane
strength and the loads of Subpart C
below 1.25, or flutter margins below V″,
must be signaled to the crew during
flight.
5. Dispatch with known failure
conditions. If the airplane is to be
dispatched in a known system-failure
condition that affects structural
performance, or affects the reliability of
the remaining system to maintain
structural performance, then the
provisions of this special condition
must be met, including the provisions of
paragraph 2 for the dispatched
condition, and paragraph 3 for
subsequent failures. Expected
operational limitations may be taken
into account in establishing Pj as the
probability of failure occurrence for
determining the safety margin in Figure
1. Flight limitations and expected
operational limitations may be taken
into account in establishing Qj as the

combined probability of being in the
dispatched failure condition, and the
subsequent failure condition for the
safety margins in Figures 2 and 3. These
limitations must be such that the
probability of being in this combined
failure state and then subsequently
encountering limit-load conditions is
extremely improbable. No reduction in
these safety margins is allowed if the
subsequent system-failure rate is greater
than 1E–3 per hour.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On September 29, 2008, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend
Class E airspace at Big Spring, TX (73
FR 56528, Docket No. FAA–2008–0757).

This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
amending Class E airspace at Big Spring
McMahon-Wrinkle Airport, Big Spring,
TX. Additional controlled airspace is
necessary to accommodate changes to
the VOR/DME Rwy 17 SIAP.
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 FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1,
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 amends
controlled airspace at Big Spring
McMahon-Wrinkle Airport, Big Spring,
TX.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class
D airspace and Class E airspace at
Grayling Army Airfield, Grayling, MI.
Establishment of an air traffic control
tower at Grayling Army Airfield has
made this action necessary for the safety
of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR)
operations at the airport. Class D
airspace will revert to a Class E Surface
Area during periods when the control
tower is not operating. This action also
corrects the required arrival extension to
the Class D airspace and redesignates it
as Class E4 airspace.

Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under 1 CFR part 51,
subject to the annual revision of FAA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On September 24, 2008, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to
establish Class D airspace and Class E
airspace at Grayling, MI (73 FR 54989,
Docket No. FAA–2008–0652). Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA
found that a portion of the Class D
airspace area needed to be reclassified
as Class E4 airspace as the arrival
extension was more than 2 nautical
miles. This action makes that correction.
With the exception of editorial changes,
and the changes described above, this
rule is the same as that proposed in the
NPRM. Class D airspace designations
are published in paragraph 5000 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. Class E Surface Area airspace
designations are published in paragraph
6002 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. Class E
airspace areas designated as an
extension to a Class D surface area are
published in paragraph 6004 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 D airspace and

Class E airspace designations listed in

The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
establishing Class D airspace and Class
E Surface Area airspace extending
upward from the surface to and
including 3,700 feet MSL within a 4.2mile radius of Grayling Army Airfield;
and Class E airspace designated as an
extension to a Class D Surface Area
within 2 miles each side of the 304°
bearing from Grayling Army Airfield
extending from the 4.2-mile radius to
7.7 miles northwest of the airport.
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

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1,
Section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more

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 Grayling Army
Airfield, Grayling, MI.
