Notice of Meeting of the National Parks Overflights Advisory Group Aviation Rulemaking Committee
The National Park Service (NPS) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in accordance with the National Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000, announce the next meeting of the National Parks Overflights Advisory Group Aviation Rulemaking Committee (NPOAG ARC). This notice informs the public of the date, location, and agenda for the meeting. Dates and Location: The NPOAG ARC will meet February 23-25, 2005, at the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort, 520 Historic Nature Trail, Gatlinburg, TN 37738. The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 23, 2005.
Airworthiness Directives; Air Tractor, Inc. Models AT-502, AT-502A, AT-502B, and AT-503A Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-26-05, which applies to certain Air Tractor, Inc. (Air Tractor) Models AT-502, AT-502A, AT-502B, and AT-503A airplanes. AD 2002-26-05 lowers the safe life for the wing lower spar cap for Models AT-502, AT- 502A, AT-502B, and AT-503A airplanes and those that incorporate or have incorporated Marburger Enterprises, Inc. winglets. AD 2002-26-05 also requires you to eddy-current inspect the wing lower spar cap immediately prior to the replacement/modification to detect and correct any crack in a bolthole before it extends to the modified center section of the wing and report the results of this inspection to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Since we issued AD 2002-26-05, we have determined that additional airplanes should be added to the applicability section. We also developed an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) to the requirements of AD 2002-26-05. This proposed AD retains the action required in AD 2002-26-05, adds additional airplanes to the applicability, and includes an AMOC. We are issuing this proposed AD to prevent fatigue cracks from occurring in the wing lower spar cap before the established safe life is reached. Fatigue cracks in the wing lower spar cap could result in the wing separating from the airplane during flight.
Airworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. PA-34 Series Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 93- 24-14, which applies to all The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA-34 series airplanes. AD 93-24-14 currently requires you to repetitively replace the bolt and stack up that connect the upper drag link to the nose gear trunnion. This proposed AD is the result of many service difficulty reports related to the collapse or inadvertent retraction of the nose landing gear (NLG). Consequently, this proposed AD would retain the actions required in AD 93-24-14 until the actions of the proposed AD would begin, require you to inspect the NLG and components of the NLG using new procedures for rigging the nose gear installation, and require you to replace unserviceable parts. We are also issuing this proposed AD to detect, correct, and prevent future failure in certain components of the NLG, lack of cleanliness of the NLG due to inadequate maintenance, or lack of lubricant in the NLG or NLG components. This failure of the NLG could lead to loss of control of the airplane during take-off, landing, or taxiing operations.
