Advisory Circular (AC) 23-24, Airworthiness Compliance Checklists for Common Part 23 Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Projects
This notice announces the issuance of Advisory Circular (AC) 23-24, Airworthiness Compliance Checklists for Common Part 23 Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Projects. The AC standardizes compliance checklists for common Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 23 STC projects. These checklists may be used to fulfill some of the requirements for a Certification Plan for STC projects. The standard compliance checklists show typical methods of compliance with the regulations and cross-references related guidance material. Checklists created using the information in the AC complement the guidance in the Guides for Certification of Part 23 Airplanes (ACs 23-8B, 23-16A, 23-17B, and 23-19) and other project-specific guidance. The checklists may contain complete certification requirements or may be used as a starting place when applying for an STC that may be beyond the scope of the checklists.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737 Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 737 airplanes. This AD requires modifying the elevator input torque tube assembly. This AD results from a report of a restriction in the pilot's elevator input control system. A design review performed on the elevator input torque tube assembly in the course of the investigation discovered possible failure modes that could lead to a jam of the elevator control system. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of elevator control and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
Notice of Extension of the Public Comment Period for the Draft Supplemental Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Modification to the Four Corner-Post Plan at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport
This notice advises the public that the comment period for the Draft Supplemental Environmental Assessment (DSEA) for the proposed modification to the Four Corner-Post Plan at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada is extended.
Notice of Reinstatement of 1980 Public Comment Procedures for Requests for Interpretation of the Flight Time, Rest and Duty Period Regulations
The FAA receives several requests for interpretation of the Flight Time, Rest and Duty Period regulations. The FAA has decided that it would be beneficial to follow the procedures announced in the May 8, 1980 Federal Register Notice (45 FR 30424) to request public comments on the requesters' questions, before the FAA issues its responses. Copies of requests from members of the public will be posted on the DOT public electronic docket, using a specified FAA docket number.
Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; Southern Illinois Airport, Carbondale-Murphysboro, IL
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is giving notice that 1.29 + / - acres (Parcel P-1R) of the airport property located at Southern Illinois Airport, Carbondale-Murphysboro, Illinois, will be released. This acreage is adjacent to the Airport Entrance Road and in close proximity to Airport Road and Fox Farm Road. It is in the southern part of Tract P-1, which is 11.024 acres. Tract P-1 was originally acquired in fee on August 20, 1975, with partial federal funding of Grant 7-17-00077-02. The proposed sale of will facilitate the construction of a centralized 911 emergency dispatch center, which will serve all of Jackson County. It will combine the current emergency dispatch functions of the cities of Carbondale and Murphysboro, Jackson County and Southern Illinois University. This center will position first responders and mutual aid providers near the airport for the needs of the airport. The land use of the property is currently agricultural, which provides minimal income to the airport. This one-time sale will generate income for airport improvement purposes and build a better rapport with the surrounding communities and their officials. The future use of this release will be required to comply with part 77 surfaces, and in conformity with FAA Deed Restrictions as required in Appendix 3 of PPM 5190.6. The Exhibit `A' Property Line Map (Exhibit 1) and the Airport Layout Plan (Exhibit 2) depicts the exchange. In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires that property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767-200, -300, and -300F Series Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series airplanes. This AD requires replacing the aileron control override quadrant with a modified unit. This AD results from a report of the seizing of the input override mechanism bearings of the lateral central control actuator on affected airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent corrosion of the input override mechanism bearings of the lateral central control actuator, which, in the event of a subsequent jam in the pilot's aileron control system, could result in failure of the aileron override system and consequent reduced lateral controllability of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F Series Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections for damage (degraded finish; missing, lifted, peeling, or blistering paint; or signs of corrosion) of the interior skin in the forward and aft cargo compartments, and corrective actions if necessary. This AD results from reports of skin corrosion on four Boeing Model 747 series airplanes that were delivered between 1995 and 1999. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion, which can penetrate the thickness of the skin and cause cracking, and result in rapid decompression of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 777-200 and -300 Series Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections of the forward lugs of the power control unit (PCU), yoke assembly, and forward attachment hardware of the left inboard, left outboard, right inboard, and right outboard flaperon PCUs; and other specified/corrective actions if necessary. For certain airplanes, this AD also requires other related concurrent actions. This AD results from reports indicating that operators have found worn, fretted, and fractured bolts that attach the yoke assembly to the flaperon PCU. We are issuing this AD to prevent damage and eventual fracture of the yoke assembly, pin assembly, and attachment bolts that connect the inboard and outboard PCUs to a flaperon, which could lead to the flaperon becoming unrestrained and consequently departing from the airplane. Loss of a flaperon could result in asymmetric lift and reduced roll control of an airplane. A departing flaperon could also cause damage to the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, which could result in loss of control of the airplane if damage is significant.
Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review; Southwest Florida International Airport, Ft. Myers, FL

This program was submitted subsequent to a determination by FAA that the associated noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR part 150 for Southwest Florida International Airport were in compliance with applicable requirements effective February 11, 2005. The proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on or before May 29, 2006.
