Aviation Noise Impacts Roadmap Annual Meeting
This notice advises interested persons that the First Annual Meeting of the Aviation Noise Impacts Roadmap will be held on April 19- 20, 2011, in Washington, DC, to coordinate and communicate research activities and findings among stakeholders and other parties with an interest in aviation noise impacts. The purpose of the meeting is to update and advance our collective scientific knowledge of the impact of aircraft noise on society in order to improve our ability to address various aspects of noise impacts and develop optimal mitigation solutions.
Special Conditions: Pratt and Whitney Canada Model PW210S Turboshaft Engine
This action proposes special conditions for Pratt and Whitney Canada (PWC) model PW210S engines. The engine model will have a novel or unusual design feature which is a 30-Minute All Engines Operating (AEO) power rating. This rating is intended to be used for hovering at increased power for search and rescue missions. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed special conditions contain the added safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-76A, S-76B, and S-76C Helicopters Modified by Supplemental Type Certificate SR09211RC
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) S-76 model helicopters with a certain life raft deployment system (LRDS) installed per Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SR09211RC. This proposed AD would require removing and replacing the pilot or co-pilot life raft deployment handle (handle) located on the left side of the ``broom closet'' of the helicopter. This proposed AD is prompted by an incident that occurred where the handle bent prior to the life raft deploying, and this prohibited the crew from successfully deploying and using the life raft. It was determined that the handle in this incident was not manufactured to the approved Type Design. We are proposing this AD to prevent the bending of the handle, which could result in failure of the life raft to deploy. This failure could lead to loss of access to the life raft after an emergency ditching on water.
Proposed Legal Interpretation
The FAA is considering clarifying the application of flight time limitations and rest requirements in 14 CFR 121.481 and 121.483 for pilots operating in flag operations as part of a two-pilot crew and as part of a two-pilot crew and one additional flightcrew member during a seven-day period.
Notification of Pilot-in-Command; Notice of Public Meeting
The FAA's Office of Hazardous Materials and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's (PHMSA) Office of Hazardous Materials Safety announce a public meeting on March 11, 2011 to hear comments and gather information regarding Notification to Pilot in Command (NOPICs) (see 49 CFR 175.33 and ICAO TI 7;4.1). The International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Dangerous Goods Panel has begun to examine this issue and consider the informational needs of those who rely on this document. Statements by interested parties will be considered as the U.S. develops its position on this issue.
