Feathering Propeller Systems for Light-Sport Aircraft Powered Gliders
This action confirms the effective date of the final rule published on January 3, 2011. The final rule amends the definition of light-sport aircraft by removing ``auto'' from the term ``autofeathering'' as it applies to powered gliders. This amendment will allow both manual and autofeathering propeller operation for powered gliders that qualify as light-sport aircraft.
Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca S.A. ARRIEL 2B and 2B1 Turboshaft Engines
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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:
Amendment of Prohibited Area P-56; District of Columbia
This action amends Special Use Airspace Prohibited Area P-56 in the District of Columbia to correct inaccuracies in the description of Area A (P-56A). This amendment does not change the actual geographic position of the prohibited area. The boundary description of Area B (P- 56B) is not affected by this action.
Fifth Meeting: RTCA Special Committee 224: Airport Security Access Control Systems
The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of a meeting of RTCA Special Committee 224: Airport Security Access Control Systems.
Airworthiness Directives; BURKHART GROB LUFT-UND Model G 103 C Twin III SL Gliders
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:
Airworthiness Directives; Air Tractor, Inc. Models AT-802 and AT-802A Airplanes
This document incorporates the FRFA for Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-17-18, which applied to these products: Air Tractor, Inc. (Air Tractor) Models AT-802 and AT-802A airplanes. We have since revised AD 2010-17-18, which requires you to repetitively inspect (using the eddy current method) the two outboard fastener holes in both of the wing main spar lower caps at the center splice joint for cracks and repair or replace any cracked spar, and changes the safe life for certain serial number (SN) ranges. Our initial analysis indicated that a FRFA was necessary for AD 2010-17-18. We issued AD 2010-17-18 without the FRFA to immediately address the unsafe condition. This action presents the FRFA for AD 2010-17-18, which is required to be published in the Federal Register.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 737-300, -400, and -500 Series Airplanes
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to all Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. That AD currently requires inspecting to determine if certain carriage spindles are installed, repetitive inspections for corrosion and indications of corrosion on affected carriage spindles, and if necessary, related investigative and corrective actions. That AD also provides an optional terminating action. This new AD mandates the optional terminating action, which eliminates the need for the repetitive inspections. This AD results from reports of corrosion found on carriage spindles that are located on the outboard trailing edge flaps. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion of the carriage spindle, which could result in fracture. Fracture of both the inboard and outboard carriage spindles, in the forward ends through the large diameters, on a flap, could adversely affect the airplane's continued safe flight and landing.
