Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-18- 09, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. AD 2016-18-09 required repetitive detailed inspections for damage on the fuselage skin at certain frames, and applicable related investigative and corrective actions. This AD continues to require repetitive inspections of the fuselage skin for chafing damage at certain frames using a new inspection process, and corrective actions if necessary; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD was prompted by reports of additional chafing of the forward fuselage found underneath the fairing structure. Investigation revealed the cause as contact between the belly fairing nut plate and the fuselage. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Youth Access to American Jobs in Aviation Task Force, Notice of Public Meeting
This notice announces a meeting of the Youth Access to American Jobs in Aviation Task Force (YIATF).
Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-12-07 for Agusta S.p.A (Agusta) Model AB412 and AB412EP helicopters. AD 2014- 12-07 requires inspecting the rotor brake pinion (pinion) for a crack and replacing it if there is a crack. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2014-12-07 and also requires removing certain serial-numbered pinions from service. This AD was prompted by a report of an additional cracked pinion. The actions of this AD are intended to address an unsafe condition on these products.
Proposed Amendment of Federal Airway V-456
This action proposes to amend Alaskan Federal Airway V-456 due to the pending decommissioning of the Glenallen Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) in east central Alaska, and the cancellation of Federal Colored Airway Green 11 (G-11) under Regional Docket Number 20-AAL-4.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Sitka, AK; Correction
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on July 31, 2020. The rule modified Class E airspace designated as a surface area, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport. The final rule also established a Class E airspace area, designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area. The legal definition for the Class E airspace, designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area, did not accurately establish this area outside of the Class E airspace designated as a surface area. This action corrects the legal definition for the Class E airspace area, designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area.
Special Conditions: B/E Aerospace, Bombardier Model CL-600-2B16 (604 Variant) Airplane; Seats With Pretensioner Restraint Systems
This action proposes special conditions for the Bombardier Inc. (Bombardier) Model CL-600-2B16 (604 variant) airplane. This airplane, as modified by B/E Aerospace, will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. This design feature is seats with a 3-point shoulder harness incorporating a pretensioner restraint system. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed 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.
IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments
This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument conditions in the affected areas.
