Amendment and Establishment of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes in the Vicinity of Devils Lake, ND
This action amends Very High Frequency (VHF) Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways V-169, V-170, and V-430, and Area Navigation (RNAV) route T-331; and establishes RNAV route T-475. The FAA is taking this action due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Devils Lake, ND (DVL), VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigational aid (NAVAID). The Devils Lake VOR is being decommissioned in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of a loss of water pressure during flight and water leaks that affected multiple pieces of electronic equipment. This AD requires a detailed visual inspection of all door 1 and door 3 lavatory and galley potable water systems for any missing or incorrectly installed clamshell couplings, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes, and certain Model 737-8 and -9 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of uncommanded escape slide deployments in the passenger compartment, caused by too much tension in the inflation cable and the movement of the escape slide assembly in the escape slide compartment. This AD requires inspecting all escape slide assemblies to identify affected parts, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-26-08 which applies to The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. AD 2020-26- 08 requires repetitive inspections of the inner fixed structure (IFS) forward upper fire seal and thermal insulation blankets in the forward upper area of the thrust reverser (TR) for damage and applicable on- condition actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-26-08, it was determined a new upper splitter fairing assembly is needed to prevent the damage to the fire seal and thermal insulation blanket. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions specified in AD 2020- 26-08 and would require determining if an affected part number of the upper splitter fairing assembly is installed on the engine, replacing an affected upper splitter fairing assembly part number with a new upper splitter fairing assembly part number, inspecting the IFS forward upper fire seal and thermal insulation blanket for any damage, and applicable on-condition actions. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

UAS Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight Operations
As the FAA reviews the recommendations of the UAS Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) Operations Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC), the FAA is considering the expansion of BVLOS operations in certain operating environments with the appropriate safety mitigations to ensure no adverse safety impact. The FAA is seeking comment to gather additional technical input on key concepts and potential approaches that the FAA is contemplating for use in future exemptions.
Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Greenville, Spartanburg, and Greer, SC
This action corrects an error in the final rule published in the Federal Register on March 28, 2023, amending Class D airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace in the Greenville, Spartanburg, and Greer, SC areas.
Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Helicopters
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-02-01 for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-92A helicopters with certain part-numbered main rotor stationary swashplate assemblies (swashplate assemblies) that had accumulated 1,600 or more total hours time-in- service (TIS) installed. AD 2022-02-01 required visually inspecting the swashplate assembly at specified intervals and depending on the results, removing the swashplate assembly from service. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-02-01, the FAA determined it was necessary to expand the applicability and require more detailed inspections to address the unsafe condition. This AD retains the actions of AD 2022-02-01, expands the applicability, adds a detailed recurring visual inspection, and requires either eddy current inspections (ECI) or fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPI). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-600, 737-700, and 737-800 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) indicating the fuselage skin at the double row of fasteners centered on certain stringers is subject to skin cracking. This proposed AD is intended to complete certain programs to support the airplane reaching its limit of validity (LOV). This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for cracks of skin repairs at Stringer S-17, and corrective actions if necessary. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
