Federal Aviation Administration July 23, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This action modifies two jet routes (J-65 and J-110) and two domestic VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways (V-23 and V- 230) in the Western United States. The modifications are necessary due to the planned decommissioning of Clovis, CA, VOR portion of the VOR/ Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid (NAVAID), which provides navigation guidance for portions of the affected air traffic service (ATS) routes. The Clovis, CA, VOR is being decommissioned as part of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program. Federal airway V-165, published in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, requires more coordination and is removed from this rule.

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports that the nose landing gear (NLG) retracted while the airplane was on the ground with weight on wheels, due to the installation of a NLG downlock pin in an incorrect location. This proposed AD would require installing an insert to prevent installation of the pin in the incorrect location. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
