Establishment of Class E Airspace; Pampa, TX
This action confirms the effective date and makes a correction to the direct final rule that establishes Class E airspace at Pampa, Mesa Vista Ranch Airport, TX, published in the Federal Register July 7, 2008 (73 FR 38314) Docket No. FAA-2008-0610. This action corrects the final rule by adding ``Mesa Vista Ranch Airport'' to more clearly define the airport name in the airport description.
Modification and Establishment of Restricted Areas and Other Special Use Airspace, Adirondack Airspace Complex; Fort Drum, NY
This action restructures the restricted areas and other special use airspace (SUA) located in the vicinity of Fort Drum, NY. The Air National Guard (ANG) requested redesign of existing restricted airspace R-5201, known as the Adirondack Airspace Complex, by establishing two new restricted areas: R-5202A and R-5202B, and by restructuring the military operations areas (MOA) contained in the Adirondack Airspace Complex. Unlike restricted areas, which are designated under 14 CFR part 73, MOAs are not rulemaking airspace actions. However, since these MOAs form an integral part of the Adirondack Airspace Complex, the FAA is including a description of the associated MOA changes in this rule. The MOA changes described here will also be published in the National Flight Data Digest (NFDD). The ANG requested these airspace changes to provide the additional SUA needed to conduct more realistic aircrew training in the Adirondack Airspace Complex.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes and Model A300-600 Series Airplanes
The FAA is revising an earlier NPRM for an airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Airbus Model A310 series airplanes and Model A300-600 series airplanes. The original NPRM would have required superseding two existing ADs. One existing AD applies to certain Airbus Model A310 series airplanes and currently requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the flap transmission shafts, and replacement of the transmission shafts if necessary. That existing AD also provides an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. The other existing AD applies to all Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes and currently requires a one-time inspection of the trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuator, corrective actions if necessary, and follow-on repetitive tasks. The original NPRM would have added revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new limitations and maintenance tasks for aging systems maintenance. The original NPRM resulted from the manufacturer's determination that life limitations and maintenance tasks are necessary in order to ensure continued operational safety of the affected airplanes. This new action revises the original NPRM by reducing the initial compliance times. We are proposing this supplemental NPRM to prevent reduced structural integrity of these airplanes due to the failure of system components.

Advisory Circular 120-16E, Air Carrier Maintenance Programs
This notice announces the issuance and availability of Advisory Circular (AC) 120-16E, ``Air Carrier Maintenance Programs''. This advisory circular (AC) is an update of AC 120-16D that was issued in 2003. It describes the scope, content, and functions of air carrier aircraft maintenance programs. It explains the background of these programs as well as the Federal Aviation Administration's regulatory requirements. Each of the 10 elements of air carrier maintenance programs is also described and explained. The material in this AC is not mandatory and does not constitute a regulation. However, when ``must'' or ``will'' are used in this AC, such use reflects actual regulatory requirements.
Cape Town Treaty Implementation
This final rule corrects a previously published rule. In the original document, an amendment inadvertently removed two paragraphs relating to the registration of certain aircraft. This rule reinstates those two paragraphs in their original form.
Proposed Establishment of Special Air Traffic Rule, in the Vicinity of Luke AFB, AZ
This rule would establish a Special Air Traffic Rule (SATR) in the vicinity of Luke Air Force Base (Luke) which would require general aviation (GA) traffic operating under visual flight rules (VFR) to establish communication with the Luke Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) while operating in the area around Luke. This action is necessary to address reported near midair collisions in the area around Luke and would help reduce the potential for midair collisions in the vicinity of Luke.
Airworthiness Directives; Vulcanair S.p.A. Model P68 Series Airplanes
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
