Federal Aviation Administration September 18, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces a meeting of the NextGen Advisory Committee (NAC).

The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the request to release and sell a 0.46 acre parcel of federally obligated airport property at the Malden Regional Airport & Industrial Park (MAW), Malden, Missouri.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-25- 13, which applied to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 300) airplanes. AD 2009-25-13 required the deactivation of the left-hand (LH) baggage bay heater mat. Since the FAA issued AD 2009-25-13, Bombardier developed a new design solution for the potential uncontrolled heating of the baggage bay sidewall heater mat. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2009-25-13 and requires modifying the baggage bay sidewall interior panel, heater mat, and water tank heater installation, and doing functional testing. Upon the completion of the new actions, the retained requirements of AD 2009-25- 13 will terminate. This AD also revises the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-17- 02, which applied to all ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42-200, -300, and -320 airplanes. AD 2021-17-02 required a one-time inspection for discrepancies of the wire bundles between the left- and right-hand angle of attack (AOA) probes and the crew alerting computer, and, depending on findings, applicable corrective actions. AD 2021-17-02 also required, for certain airplanes, modifying the captain stick shaker wiring, and for all airplanes, revising the existing aircraft flight manual (AFM) and applicable corresponding operational procedures to incorporate procedures for the stick pusher/shaker. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-17-02, additional modification of the affected wiring for certain airplanes was developed. This AD retains all of the requirements of AD 2021-17-02 and requires installing a new AOA power supply unit and removing the AFM amendment; 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.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that the electrical harnesses in the overhead bin above the class divider may have insufficient or no separation with the class divider mounting plate. This AD requires inspecting the overhead bin electrical harnesses at the class dividers and modifying the class divider mounting plate assembly or accomplishing a temporary repair if necessary; and, eventually modifying the class divider mounting plate assembly if a modification was not done after accomplishing the inspection, as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA is considering a proposal to change 109.91 acres of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of airport property located at Rantoul National Aviation CenterElliott Field, Rantoul, IL. The aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use. The subject parcels (13 in total) are located in the western half of the airport, all being west of Runway 18/36, south of Urbana Avenue, east of Century Boulevard, and north of Township Highway 154 S. Many of the subject parcels have old industrial buildings that supported the United States military mission (Chanute Air Force Base) and now are in a state of disrepair. The proposed sale would allow the cost of the repair and maintenance of these old structures to be transferred to the buyers of the parcels and the proceeds of the sale to be used for airport purposes. The parcels would be used for non-aeronautical purposes that are compatible with airport operations.
