Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (Gulfstream) Model GV and GV-SP airplanes. This AD was prompted by the omission of a life limit in the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the maintenance manual for a certain main landing gear (MLG) trunnion pin. This AD requires revising the ALS of your existing instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) or inspection program for the airplane to establish a life limit of 20,000 flight cycles for the affected MLG trunnion pin. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Ashland, KY
This action amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Ashland Regional Airport, Ashland, KY, by updating the geographic coordinates of the airport in the airspace legal description to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. This action does not change the airspace boundaries or operating requirements.
Amendment of VOR Federal Airway V-175 in the Vicinity of Malden, MO
This action proposes to modify VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway V-175 in the vicinity of Malden, MO. This action is necessary due to the planned decommissioning of the Malden, MO, VOR Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) facility, which provides navigation guidance for a segment of the route.
Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Leonardo S.p.a. Model A109E, A109S, and AW109SP helicopters. This AD was prompted by reports of main landing gear (MLG) wheel assembly failure. This AD requires repetitive inspections of each affected MLG strut assembly and, depending on the findings, replacement of an affected MLG strut assembly with a serviceable assembly, or application of corrosion preventive compound, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-04- 21, which applies to certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC120B helicopters. AD 2021-04-21 required an inspection of the attachment bolts of the main rotor (MR) hub scissors assembly for discrepancies and repair if necessary; part marking of the attachment bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly; and repetitive inspections of the part marking of the attachment bolts, and repair if necessary. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2021-04-21; and also requires part marking of the washer, scissor branch, and mast ring of the corresponding nut side, and repetitive inspections of the additional part markings and repair if necessary; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD was prompted by a report of broken and bent attachment bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly and a determination that additional part markings of the washer, scissor branch, and mast ring of the corresponding nut side, and repetitive inspections of those part markings, are necessary to detect any rotation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Helicopters
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model EC135P2+, EC135P3, EC135T2+, and EC135T3 helicopters. This AD was prompted by reports that certain aft and forward fitting assemblies, which are not approved for installation on certain helicopters, were installed on those helicopters as part of the outboard load system. Operators of those helicopters might not be aware of the applicable overhaul or life limits for those fitting assemblies. This AD requires inspecting the aft and forward fitting assemblies of the outboard load system to determine the part number, re-identifying the part if necessary, inspecting each affected part for damage (which may be indicated by signs of corrosion, mechanical damage, loose rivets, or cracks) and, depending on the findings, corrective actions, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Uvalde, TX
This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Garner Field Airport, Uvalde, TX. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Uvalde non-directional beacon (NDB).
Amendment of Class E Airspace and Establishment of Class E; Greenville and Terrell, TX
This action amends the Class E airspace at Greenville, TX, and establishes Class E airspace at Terrell, TX. This action is the result of airspace reviews due to the decommissioning of the Caddo Mills non- directional beacon (NDB). The geographic coordinates of Caddo Mills Municipal Airport, Caddo Mill, TX, are also being updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
