Robinson R-22/R-44 Special Training and Experience Requirements
This final rule continues the existing special training and experience requirements in Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 73 and extends the termination date for SFAR 73 to June 30, 2009. SFAR No. 73 requires special training and experience for pilots operating the Robinson model R-22 or R-44 helicopters in order to maintain the safe operation of Robinson helicopters. It also requires special training and experience for certified flight instructors conducting student instruction or flight reviews in R-22 or R-44 helicopters.
Airworthiness Directives; Short Brothers Model SD3-60 Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede two existing airworthiness directives (ADs) that apply to all Short Brothers Model SD3-60 airplanes. One of the ADs currently requires inspection of the welded joints of the balance weight brackets for the elevator trim tabs for cracking; repetitive inspections, as applicable; and corrective actions including the eventual replacement of all brackets. The other AD currently requires, for certain airplanes, repetitive inspections for cracking of the balance weight brackets and replacement of any cracked bracket, and provides for an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD would require an additional inspection to detect cracks of the balance weight brackets, applicable related investigative and corrective actions, and replacement of a certain balance weight bracket when it has reached its maximum life limit. This proposed AD results from a report indicating that several reworked balance weight brackets have exhibited signs of premature failure. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the balance weight brackets of the elevator trim tabs, which could cause loss of the balance weight. This could result in incorrect trim during takeoff and landing, and reduced controllability of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-100, 747-200B, 747-300, and 747SR Series Airplanes
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 747-100, 747-200B, 747-300, and 747SR series airplanes that have been converted by Boeing to the Boeing Special Freighter configuration. This proposed AD would require installation of a closeout panel and moisture curtains for the main equipment center. This proposed AD would also require changing the drain tubes for the power drive units and the pitot static tubes and installing larger moisture shrouds. This proposed AD results from a report of water contamination in the electrical and electronic units in the main equipment center. We are proposing this AD to prevent the malfunction of one or more electrical and electronic units in the main equipment center, which could adversely affect the airplane's continued safe flight.
