Federal Aviation Administration October 14, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document makes a correction to a section heading in the notice of meeting published in the Federal Register on October 4, 2005. That notice announced an upcoming meeting of the National Parks Overflight Advisory Group Aviation Rulemaking Committee.

The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the release of land at the Pearland Regional Airport in accordance with Title 49, United States Code, Section 47153.

These special conditions are issued for Dassault-Aviation Mystere-Falcon 50 airplanes modified by Chippewa Aerospace, Inc. These modified airplanes will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. The modification incorporates the installation of a Honeywell Primus Epic Control Display System for Retrofit (CDS-R) that performs critical functions. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the protection of these systems from the effects of high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF). These 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.

This action establishes three area navigation (RNAV) routes and revises one existing RNAV route in the Western United States (U.S.) in support of the High Altitude Redesign (HAR) program. The FAA originally proposed to revise two area navigation routes as part of this action, but one revised route (Q-11) was deleted because the proposed change provided limited benefit. The FAA is taking this action to enhance safety and to improve the efficient use of the navigable airspace in the Western U.S.
