Federal Aviation Administration June 2, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Sikorsky Model S-76A, S-76B, and S-76C helicopters with a main gearbox (MGB) installed that has undergone certain repairs. This proposed AD would require inspecting the MGB lower housing jet bores for leaks, paint or caulk blistering, and liner protrusion. This proposed AD is prompted by several reports of MGB low oil pressure warnings which were determined to be the result of unsecured jet bore liners that had protruded. The proposed actions are intended to prevent failure of the MGB from loss of oil, which could result in subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

This action proposes to establish Class E airspace at Pine Knot, KY, to accommodate a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) serving McCreary County Airport. This action would enhance the safety and airspace management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations within the National Airspace System.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change 47.2262 acres of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of airport property located at Scott AFB/MidAmerica Airport, Belleville, Illinois. The aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use. The St. Clair County Highway Department, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Illinois Department of Transportation are sponsoring a project to directly link Scott Air Force with the interstate system by constructing a new interchange on Interstate 64 at the Reider Road overpass (Mile Marker 21). St. Clair County, as the airport sponsor, plans to sell the subject property at fair market value to the St. Clair County Highway Department and Illinois Department of Transportation for the project.
