Federal Aviation Administration June 28, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Proposed Revocation of Class E Airspace; Chillicotte, MO
Document Number: 2010-15680
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-06-28
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to remove Class E airspace at Chillicotte, MO. Airport management and air traffic control facility managers have determined that the Class E surface area at Chillicotte Municipal Airport is no longer necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
Proposed Revocation of Class E Airspace; Franklin, TX
Document Number: 2010-15678
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-06-28
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to remove Class E airspace at Franklin, TX. Abandonment of the former Rocking 7 Ranch Airport and cancellation of all Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) has eliminated the need for controlled airspace in the Franklin, TX, area. The FAA is taking this action to ensure the efficient use of airspace within the National Airspace System.
Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Corporation Model DC-10-30, DC-10-30F, DC-10-30F (KC-10A and KDC-10), DC-10-40, DC-10-40F, and MD-10-30F Airplanes
Document Number: 2010-15653
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-06-28
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Model DC-10-30, DC-10-30F, DC-10-30F (KC-10A and KDC-10), DC- 10-40, DC10-40F, and MD-10-30F airplanes. This proposed AD would require doing a one-time inspection of the wire bundles to determine if wires touch the upper surface of the center upper auxiliary fuel tank, and marking the location if necessary; a one-time inspection for splices and damage of all wire bundles routed above the center upper auxiliary fuel tank; a one-time inspection for damage to the fuel vapor barrier seal and upper surface of the center upper auxiliary fuel tank; and corrective actions, if necessary. This proposed AD would also require installing non-metallic barrier/shield sleeving to the wire harnesses, new clamps, new attaching hardware, and new extruded channels. This proposed AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are proposing this AD to prevent the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Corporation Model MD-90-30 Airplanes
Document Number: 2010-15652
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-06-28
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Model MD-90-30 airplanes. The existing AD currently requires modifying the auxiliary hydraulic power system (including doing all applicable related investigative and corrective actions). This proposed AD would require these same actions, using corrected service information. This proposed AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer, as well as reports of electrically shorted wires in the right wheel well and evidence of arcing on the auxiliary hydraulic pump power cables, which are routed within the tire burst area. We are proposing this AD to prevent electrically shorted wires or arcing at the auxiliary hydraulic pump power cables, which could result in a fire in the wheel well. We are also proposing this AD to reduce the potential of an ignition source adjacent to the fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Youngstown, OH
Document Number: 2010-15647
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-06-28
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to amend Class E airspace at Youngstown, OH, adding additional controlled airspace necessary to accommodate new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at Youngstown Elser Metro Airport, Youngstown, OH. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
Notice of Intent To Release Certain Properties From All Terms, Conditions, Reservations and Restrictions of a Quitclaim Deed Agreement Between the City of Lakeland and the Federal Aviation Administration for the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport, Lakeland, FL
Document Number: 2010-15533
Type: Notice
Date: 2010-06-28
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA hereby provides notice of intent to release certain airport properties 7.89 acres, more or less, at the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport, Lakeland, FL from the conditions, reservations, and restrictions as contained in a Quitclaim Deed agreement between the FAA and the City of Lakeland, dated September 26, 1947. The release of property will allow the City of Lakeland to dispose of the property for other than aeronautical purposes. The property is located in the southeast corner of Aero Place and Airpark Drive, Lakeland, Polk County, Florida. The parcel is currently designated as non-aeronautical use. The property will be disposed of for the purpose of commercial development. The fair market value of the property has been determined by appraisal to be $688,810. The airport will receive fair market value for the property, which will be subsequently reinvested in another eligible airport improvement project.
Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Panguitch, UT
Document Number: 2010-15532
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-06-28
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to establish Class E airspace at Panguitch Municipal Airport, Panguitch UT. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Panguitch Municipal Airport. The FAA is proposing this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model EC 155B, EC155B1, SA-360C, SA-365C, SA-365C1, SA-365C2, SA-365N, SA-365N1, AS-365N2, AS 365 N3, and SA-366G1 Helicopters
Document Number: 2010-15370
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-06-28
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This document proposes superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the specified Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) helicopters. That AD requires repetitively inspecting the main gearbox (MGB) planet gear carrier for a crack and replacing any MGB that has a cracked planet gear carrier before further flight. This action would require the same inspections required by the existing AD but would shorten the initial inspection interval. This proposal is prompted by the discovery of another crack in a MGB planet gear carrier and additional analysis that indicates that the initial inspection interval must be shortened. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to detect a crack in the web of the planet gear carrier, which could lead to a MGB seizure and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
