The Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as
follows:
PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
§ 39.13
[Amended]

2023–07–08 Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.:
Amendment 39–22410; Docket No.
FAA–2022–1404; Project Identifier
MCAI–2022–01044–A.
(a) Effective Date
This airworthiness directive (AD) is
effective May 19, 2023.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.
Model PC–12/47E airplanes, serial number
(S/N) 1300 and S/Ns 1451 and higher,
certificated in any category.
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
(d) Subject
Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)
Code 3211, Main Landing Gear Attach
Section; and JASC Code 3221, Nose/Tail
Landing Gear Attach Section.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI
identifies the unsafe condition as corrosion
leading to cracks on the actuator attachment
lug areas underneath the anti-rotation pads of
the main landing gear (MLG) and nose
landing gear (NLG). The FAA is issuing this
AD to address this condition. The unsafe
condition, if not addressed, could result in
loss of functionality of the MLG and NLG,
which could result in damage to the airplane
and injury to the occupants.

Authority for This Rulemaking
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 amends
airspace in Rogers, Springdale, and
Bentonville, AR, to support IFR
operations in the area.

History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2022–0546 in the Federal Register
(87 FR 68116, November 14, 2022), to
amend Class D airspace for Rogers
Executive Airport-Carter Field (formerly
Rogers Municipal/Carter Field), and
Springdale Municipal Airport by
updating each airport’s geographic
coordinates to coincide with the FAA’s
database. Also, Class E surface airspace
for the above airports and Bentonville

16:10 Apr 13, 2023
Jkt 259001
Municipal Airport/Louise M Thaden
Field (formerly Bentonville Municipal/
Louise M. Thaden Field) was proposed
to be amended, and the airport’s names
and the dividing line of the Class D
airspace between Rogers Executive
Airport-Carter Field with the Class E
surface airspace of Bentonville
Municipal Airport/Louise M Thaden
Field required updating.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received support.
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000 and 6002, respectively,
of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated
August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will subsequently be published in FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
Incorporation by Reference
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document amends the current version of
that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G,
dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. These updates will
subsequently be published in the next
update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. FAA
Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available
as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. These amendments will be
published in the next update to FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
routes, and reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
amending Class D airspace for Rogers
Executive Airport-Carter Field (formerly
Rogers Municipal/Carter Field), and
Springdale Municipal Airport by
updating each airport’s geographic
coordinates to coincide with the FAA’s
database. Also, Class E surface airspace
is amended for the above airports and
Bentonville Municipal Airport/Louise
M Thaden Field (formerly Bentonville
Municipal/Louise M. Thadden Field).
This action also updates the airport’s
names and the dividing line of the Class
D airspace between Rogers Executive
Airport-Carter Field with the Class E
surface airspace of Bentonville
Municipal Airport/Louise M Thaden

Field. In addition, this action replaces
the outdated terms Airport/Facility
Directory with the term Chart
Supplement and Notice to Airmen with
the term Notice to Air Missions in the
airspace descriptions.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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. It, therefore: (1) is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (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
minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that
this rule, when promulgated, does not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraphs 5–6.5a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant the preparation of an
environmental assessment.

The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2022-0546 in the Federal Register (87 FR 68116, November 14, 2022),
to amend Class D airspace for Rogers Executive Airport-Carter Field
(formerly Rogers Municipal/Carter Field), and Springdale Municipal
Airport by updating each airport's geographic coordinates to coincide
with the FAA's database. Also, Class E surface airspace for the above
airports and Bentonville Municipal Airport/Louise M Thaden Field
(formerly Bentonville Municipal/Louise M. Thaden Field) was proposed to
be amended, and the airport's names and the dividing line of the Class
D airspace between Rogers Executive Airport-Carter Field with the Class
E surface airspace of Bentonville Municipal Airport/Louise M Thaden
Field required updating.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received support.
Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000 and 6002, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated
August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will subsequently be
published in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
Incorporation by Reference
Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6005 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by reference
in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This document amends the current
version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022,
and effective September 15, 2022. These updates will subsequently be
published in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. FAA Order JO
7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of
this document. These amendments will be published in the next update to
FAA Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic routes, and reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending Class D airspace for
Rogers Executive Airport-Carter Field (formerly Rogers Municipal/Carter
Field), and Springdale Municipal Airport by updating each airport's
geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's database. Also, Class
E surface airspace is amended for the above airports and Bentonville
Municipal Airport/Louise M Thaden Field (formerly Bentonville
Municipal/Louise M. Thadden Field). This action also updates the
airport's names and the dividing line of the Class D airspace between
Rogers Executive Airport-Carter Field with the Class E surface airspace
of Bentonville Municipal Airport/Louise M Thaden Field. In addition,
this action replaces the outdated terms Airport/Facility Directory with
the term Chart Supplement and Notice to Airmen with the term Notice to
Air Missions in the airspace descriptions.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (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 minimal. Since
this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and
air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraphs 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant the preparation of an
environmental assessment.
