This action reopens the comment period stated in the notice of availability of proposed design criteria and request for comments for the airworthiness criteria on the airship design criteria for the Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH Model LZ N07 Airship.

This amendment establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, addition of new obstacles, or changes in air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of a meeting of RTCA Special Committee 202: Portable Electronic Devices.

This document proposes adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (BHTC) Model 430 helicopters. This proposal would require replacing a certain servo actuator-to- actuator support attachment bolt (bolt) with an airworthy bolt. This proposal would also require establishing a retirement life for certain bolts and recording the retirement life on a component history card or equivalent record. This proposal is prompted by further evaluation of certain fatigue-critical parts, resulting in establishing a life limit of 5000 hours for the affected bolts. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to prevent fatigue failure of the bolt and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
