Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW189 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of an uncommanded deployment of the emergency life-raft system (ELS). This proposed AD would require a one-time inspection of the life-raft installations and, depending on the results, accomplishing additional actions, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Aging Aircraft Program (Widespread Fatigue Damage)
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 30-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on February 21, 2024. The collection involves submittal of limits of validity of engineering data that supports the structural maintenance program (hereafter referred to as LOV) for certain airplane models. The information to be collected will be used to demonstrate compliance with FAA regulations requiring establishment and incorporation of LOV into the airplane's structural maintenance program.
Modification of Class E Airspace; Spanish Fork Municipal Airport/Woodhouse Field, Spanish Fork, UT
This action modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Spanish Fork Municipal Airport/ Woodhouse Field, Spanish Fork, UT. This modification supports the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW189 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of abnormal oscillatory behavior during automated glide slope approaches, due to sealant on the glide slope (G/S) antenna coaxial connectors. This proposed AD would require visually inspecting certain G/S antennas and G/S antenna coaxial connectors for the presence of any sealant; cleaning parts and removing any sealant; performing an external G/S acceptance test procedure (ATP); and taking corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing certain G/S antennas and G/S antenna coaxial connecters. These actions are specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Notice of Request for Extension of Currently Approved Information Collection
The FHWA has forwarded the information collection request described in this notice to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for an extension of an information collection. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Establishment of Multiple Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes; Hawaiian Islands
This action establishes United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes T-340, T-342, T-344, and T-346 in the Hawaiian Islands. These RNAV routes facilitate the movement of aircraft among the Hawaiian Islands and increase operational efficiencies to RNAV Standard Instrument Departures (SID) and RNAV Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STAR), which enhances the air traffic capacity of the Hawaiian airports.
Revocation of Colored Federal Airway Blue 12 (B-12) in the Vicinity of Kodiak Island, AK
This action revokes Colored Federal Airway Blue 12 (B-12) in the vicinity of Kodiak Island, AK, due to the previous establishment of United States Area Navigation (RNAV) route T-385 in support of a large and comprehensive T-route modernization project for the state of Alaska.
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Turlock Municipal Airport, Turlock, CA
This action proposes to establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Turlock Municipal Airport, Turlock, CA. This action would support the airport's transition from visual flight rules (VFR) operations to instrument flight rules (IFR) operations.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Dixon, IL
This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Dixon, IL. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review conducted due to the decommissioning of the Polo very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operating Network (MON) Program. The name of the airport would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. This action will bring the airspace into compliance with FAA orders to support instrument flight rule (IFR) operations.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Maple Lake, MN
This action amends the Class E airspace at Maple Lake, MN. This action is the result of an airspace review as part of the decommissioning of the Darwin very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operating Network (MON) Program. This action updates the name of Maple Lake Municipal Airport-Bill Mavencamp Sr. Field to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. This action does not change the airspace boundaries or operating requirements.
Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Saginaw, MI
This action proposes to amend the Class D and Class E airspace at Saginaw, MI. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of airspace reviews conducted as part of the decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. This action would also update the names and the geographic coordinates of various airports to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. This action will bring the airspace into compliance with FAA orders and support instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures and operations.
Request for Clearance for an Information Collection: Annual Tank Car Survey
This notice announces the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) intention to request that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approves a 3-year extension of a currently approved information collection for the ``Annual Tank Car Survey.''
Airworthiness Directives; Robinson Helicopter Company Helicopters
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Robinson Helicopter Company Model R22, R22 Alpha, R22 Beta, R22 Mariner, R44, R44 II, and R66 helicopters. This AD was prompted by reports of helicopters losing a tail rotor blade (TRB) tip cap. This AD requires visually checking and inspecting certain part-numbered and serial-numbered TRB tip caps for evidence of corrosion and, depending on the results, removing the corrosion. This AD also requires removing all affected TRBs from service and prohibits installing them on any helicopter. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
