Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 Series Airplanes
Document Number: 05-9472
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2005-05-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require modification of the electrical bonding of all structures and systems installed inside the center fuel tank. This proposed AD is prompted by results of fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are proposing this AD to prevent electrical arcing in the center fuel tank due to inadequate bonding, which could result in an explosion of the center fuel tank and consequent loss of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Airplanes
Document Number: 05-9469
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2005-05-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 747 airplanes. This proposed AD would require modifying the inflation systems of the upper deck escape slides; single-piece off-wing escape ramps/slides; two-piece off-wing escape slides; and door 1, 2, 4, and 5 escape slides/rafts. This proposed AD is prompted by a report of 30- to 60-second delays in the inflation of escape slides/rafts. We are proposing this AD to prevent actuation delays in the inflation systems of the escape slides/rafts, which could result in delayed or failed deployment of escape slides/rafts during emergency evacuation of an airplane.
Establishment of Class E2 Airspace; and Modification of Class E5 Airspace; Valentine, NE
Document Number: 05-9435
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-05-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This rule establishes a Class E surface area at Valentine, NE. It also modifies the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Valentine, NE. The effect of this rule is to provide appropriate controlled Class E airspace for aircraft departing from and executing instrument approach procedures to Miller Field, Valentine, NE and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.
Modification of Class E Airspace; Parsons, KS
Document Number: 05-9434
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-05-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This document confirms the effective date of the direct final rule which revises Class E airspace at Parsons, KS.
Application Fee Increase for Administrative Waivers of the Coastwise Trade Laws
Document Number: 05-9433
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2005-05-12
Agency: Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) proposes to increase the application fee for administrative waivers of the coastwise trade laws from $300 to $500. The increased fee would align the application fee with the actual cost of processing and issuing each waiver.
Airworthiness Directives; Dornier Model 328-300 Series Airplanes
Document Number: 05-9367
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-05-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dornier Model 328-300 series airplanes. This AD requires installing a drain hole in the lower skin of the left- and right-hand elevator horns. This AD is prompted by reports of water found in the elevator assembly. We are issuing this AD to prevent water or ice accumulating in the elevator assembly, which could result in possible corrosion that reduces the structural integrity of the flight control surface, or in an unbalanced flight control surface. These conditions could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
Kaw River Railroad, Inc.-Lease and Operation Exemption-BNSF Railway Company
Document Number: 05-9323
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-05-12
Agency: Surface Transportation Board, Department of Transportation
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes
Document Number: 05-9063
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-05-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. This AD requires measuring the clearance between the compensator and the guide assembly of probe no. 1 on the outboard fuel tanks, and performing corrective actions if necessary. This AD is prompted by the results of fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent interference between the compensator and the guide assembly of probe no. 1, which could create an ignition source that could result in a fire or explosion.
