Federal Aviation Administration October 5, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This action proposes to revise Class E airspace at Perryville, AK. A new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) and a Standard Instrument Departure Procedure (SID) are being developed for the Perryville Airport. Adoption of this proposal would result in revising Class E airspace upward from 700 feet (ft.) and 1,200 ft. above the surface at Perryville, AK.

These special conditions are issued to Garmin International Inc., 1200 East 151st Street, Olathe, Kansas, 66062, for a Supplemental Type Certificate for the Raytheon Model C90A King Air airplane. This airplane will have novel and unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisaged in the applicable airworthiness standards. These novel and unusual design features include the installation of electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) displays in the Garmin G1000 system, GFC 700 autopilot, Mid-Continent Instrument Attitude Indicator and Sandia Avionics cooling fans. The applicable regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate airworthiness 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 the airworthiness standards applicable to these airplanes.

This action proposes to revise Class E airspace at Kodiak, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch staff have noticed that a section of uncontrolled airspace north of Kodiak should be controlled airspace. Adoption of this proposal would result in revising Class E airspace upward from 1,200 ft. above the surface at Kodiak, AK.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Dassault Model Mystere-Falcon 50 and 900 airplanes and Falcon 900EX airplanes, and Model Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX airplanes. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the identification plates of the outboard slats to determine the type of identification plates and the P/Ns. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would also require a revision to the Limitations and Normal Procedures sections of the airplane flight manual to provide procedures for operation in icing conditions; and replacement of the anti-icing manifold with an anti-icing manifold of the correct type design if necessary. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would also require related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD results from a finding that the outboard slats for Model Mystere-Falcon 50 airplanes have been erroneously authorized, in limited cases, as interchangeable for use on Model Mystere-Falcon 900 airplanes and Falcon 900EX airplanes, and Model Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX airplanes. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the anti-icing manifold of the outboard slats, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.

This document confirms the effective date of the direct final rule which revises Class E Airspace at West Plains, MO.
