Airworthiness Directives; Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Turbomeca S.A.)
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Safran) Model ARRIUS 2F engines. This AD was prompted by a report of an uncommanded in-flight shut-down (IFSD) of a Safran Model ARRIUS 2F engine, followed by an investigation that revealed the IFSD was due to a missing lubricating and balancing groove on one of the bearings of the fuel control unit (FCU) fuel pump related to a non-conforming manufacturing process. This AD requires removal of the affected fuel pump from service and replacement with a serviceable part, 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.
Control of Non-Volatile Particulate Matter From Aircraft Engines: Emission Standards and Test Procedures
This action confirms the effective date of the final rule published on April 24, 2024, and responds to the comments received on that final rule. The FAA published a correction on May 7, 2024, to the final rule that established a compliance date of 90 days after the effective date. The rule adopts standards for measuring non-volatile particulate matter (nvPM) exhaust emissions from aircraft engines. With this rulemaking, the FAA implemented the nvPM emissions standards adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), allowing manufacturers to certificate engines to the new nvPM emissions standards in the United States, and fulfilling the statutory obligations of the FAA under the Clean Air Act.
Modification of Class D Airspace and Modification of Class E Airspace; Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal Airport, Hawthorne, CA
This action proposes to modify the Class D airspace and Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D airspace at Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal Airport, Hawthorne, CA. This action would more appropriately contain instrument flight rules (IFR) and visual flight rules (VFR) operations at the airport. Additionally, the airport's legal description would be amended to match the FAA's database.
Modification of Class D Airspace; Torrance Airport, Torrance, CA
This action proposes to modify the Class D airspace at Torrance Airport, Torrance, CA. This action would more appropriately contain instrument flight rules (IFR) and visual flight rules (VFR) operations at the airport. Additionally, the airport's name and legal description should be amended to match the FAA's database.
Modification of Class E Airspace; Alaska, AK
The FAA is withdrawing the NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 7, 2024, which proposed to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface within a designated landmass and within 12 miles from a designated coastline associated with the state of Alaska. Additionally, this action proposed administrative amendments to update the airspace's existing Class E airspace legal description. These actions were to support lower altitude instrument flight rules (IFR) operations and enhance safety for aircraft utilizing IFR and visual flight rules (VFR) operations.
Amendment of Class C Airspace; Austin, TX
This action amends the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, TX, Class C airspace description by updating the airport reference point (ARP) geographic coordinates for the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to match the FAA's National Airspace System Resource (NASR) database. Additionally, minor editorial changes are made to the airspace description header information format. This action does not change the boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the Class C airspace area.
