Amendment of Class D Airspace; Fort Liberty, NC; Correction, 66545-66546 [2024-18298]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 159 / Friday, August 16, 2024 / Rules and Regulations speed flight or during surface operations. Alternatively, airflow over the windshield may be disturbed during such critical times as the approach to land, where the airplane is at a higherthan-normal pitch attitude. In these cases, areas of airflow disturbance or separation on the windshield could cause failure to maintain a clear vision area on the windshield. In addition to potentially depending on airflow to function effectively, hydrophobic coatings may also be dependent on water-droplet size for effective precipitation removal. For example, precipitation in the form of a light mist may not be sufficient for the coating’s properties to result in maintaining a clear area of vision. The current regulations identify speed and precipitation rate requirements that represent limiting conditions for windshield wipers and blowers, but not for hydrophobic coatings. Likewise, it is necessary to issue special conditions to maintain the level of safety represented by the current regulations. These special conditions provide an appropriate safety standard for the hydrophobic-coating technology as the means to maintain a clear area of vision by requiring coating to be effective at low speeds and low precipitation rates, as well as at the higher speeds and precipitation rates identified in the current regulation. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards. Applicability As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the Textron Model 560XL airplane. Should Textron apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature, these special conditions would apply to that model as well. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 Conclusion This action affects only a certain novel or unusual design feature on the Textron Model 560XL airplane. It is not a rule of general applicability. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25 Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Authority Citation The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, and 44704. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:32 Aug 15, 2024 Jkt 262001 The Special Conditions Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of the type certification basis for Textron Model 560XL. The airplane must have a means to maintain a clear portion of the windshield, during precipitation conditions, enough for both pilots to have a sufficiently extensive view along the ground or flight path in normal taxi and flight altitudes of the airplane. This means must be designed to function, without continuous attention on the part of the crew, in conditions from light misting precipitation to heavy rain, at speeds from fully stopped in still air, to 1.6 VS with lift and drag devices retracted. Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 8, 2024. Patrick R. Mullen, Manager, Technical Policy Branch, Policy and Standards Division, Aircraft Certification Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 Background The IASA program is the means by which the FAA determines whether another country’s oversight of its air carriers that (1) operate, or seek to operate, services to/from the United States using their own aircraft and crews, or (2) seek to display the code of a U.S. air carrier on any services, complies with safety standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The published IASA results of a country’s placement in Category 1 or Category 2 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:32 Aug 15, 2024 Jkt 262001 is the notification to the U.S. traveling public as to whether a foreign air carrier’s homeland civil aviation authority meets ICAO safety standards. A Category 1 rating indicates that the civil aviation authority meets ICAO safety standards for these operations, and a Category 2 rating indicates that the civil aviation authority does not meet ICAO safety standards. The IASA program was established by a document published in the Federal Register in 1992. Subsequent published documents in the Federal Register notified of the program’s evolution. These Federal Register documents are as follows: • August 24, 1992—Established the FAA Procedures for Examining and Monitoring Foreign Air Carriers (57 FR 38342). • September 8, 1994—Established the Public Disclosure of the Results of Foreign Civil Aviation Authority Assessments, through a three-category numbered rating system (59 FR 46332). • October 31, 1995—DOT Notice Clarification Concerning Examination of Foreign Carriers’ Request for Expanded Economic Authority, clarified the Department’s licensing policy regarding requests for expanded economic authority from foreign air carriers whose CAA’s safety oversight capability has been assessed by the FAA as conditional (Category II) or unacceptable (Category III) (60 FR 55408). • May 25, 2000—Changes to the International Aviation Safety Assessment program removed the Category 3 rating and combined it with Category 2 (65 FR 33751). • March 8, 2013—Changes to the International Aviation Safety Assessment program removed inactive countries (countries with no air carrier operations to the United States or codeshares with U.S. air carrier for four years and no significant interaction between the country’s CAA and the FAA) from the IASA Category list (78 FR 14912). Through the IASA program, the FAA seeks continuous improvement to global aviation safety. As noted in the abovereferenced policy statement of September 8, 1994, initial IASA assessments found that two-thirds of the assessed CAAs were deficient in meeting their safety oversight obligations under the Convention on International Civil Aviation. The September 28, 2022, Policy Statement (87 FR 58725) (now suspended) announced certain changes to the IASA program and provided clarification to other aspects of the IASA policy. Since that publication, the FAA and DOT have received inquiries and questions that warrant reassessment of those changes and clarifications, and an PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 opportunity for public comment before they are adopted permanently. As noted above, the FAA is suspending implementation of the September 28, 2022, Policy Statement while the agency reassesses the policy and considers public comments. Public comment is invited on the matters and issues described in the companion document published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. Issued in Washington, DC. Jodi L. Baker, Deputy Administrator for Aviation Safety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register on July 18, 
2024 (89 FR 58262) for Docket No. FAA-2024-0383, updating the Class D 
airspace for Fort Liberty, NC, by excluding 1,400 feet MSL from the 
vertical limits (previously ``including''), updating the airport's 
geographic coordinates, replacing ``Notice to Airmen'' with ``Notice to 
Air Missions'' in the description, and updating the reference to 
``Chart Supplement'' (previously ``Airport Facility Directory''). After 
publication, the FAA found updates to the FAA's database rendering the 
Airport Reference Point (ARP) data incorrect, which, as dependent upon 
the ARP, rendered other airspace description information incorrect. 
This action corrects these errors.

Correction to the Final Rule

    In FR Doc 2024-15483 at 58262, published in the Federal Register on 
July 18, 2024, the FAA makes the following corrections:

description for Fort Liberty, NC, to read as follows:

* * * * *

ASO NC D Simmons AAF, NC [Corrected]

Simmons AAF, NC

including 1,400 feet MSL within a 3.9-mile radius of Simmons AAF, 
excluding the portion northwest of a line extending from lat. 
35[deg]11'48'' N, long. 78[deg]55'35'' W; to lat. 35[deg]06'19'' N, 
long. 79[deg]00'27'' W, excluding the portion within the 
Fayetteville, NC, Class C airspace area. This Class D airspace area 
is effective during the specific dates and times established in
