Re-Designation of VOR Federal Airway V-431; Alaska
This action amends VOR Federal Airway V-431, Alaska. Specifically, the FAA is re-designating V-431 as V-593 because the V- 431 designation is a duplicate number in the National Airspace System (NAS) and is causing problems with the Flight Data processors during route validation at the Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center.
Special Conditions: Airbus Model A380-800 Airplane; Reinforced Flightdeck Bulkhead
This document corrects an error that appeared in Docket No. NM317, Notice No. 25-05-12-SC, which was published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2006 (71 FR 18236). The error is in the Docket No. and the Notice No. and is being corrected herein.
Special Conditions; Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH, Piper PA 28-161 Cadet, Warrior II and Warrior III Series Airplanes; Diesel Cycle Engine Using Turbine (Jet) Fuel
On June 14, 2006, we published a document concerning proposed special conditions for Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH, Piper PA 28-161 Cadet, Warrior II and Warrior III Series Airplanes with a Diesel Cycle Engine Using Turbine (Jet) Fuel. There was an error in the preamble of the proposed special conditions in the reference to the notice number. The notice number was used in a previous proposed special condition. This document contains a correction to the notice number; the docket number remains unchanged.
Special Conditions: Airbus Model A380-800 Airplane, Design Roll Maneuver
These special conditions are issued for the Airbus A380-800 airplane. This airplane will have novel or unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. Many of these novel or unusual design features are associated with the complex systems and the configuration of the airplane, including its full-length double deck. For these design features, the applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for design roll maneuvers. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards. Additional special conditions will be issued for other novel or unusual design features of the Airbus Model A380-800 airplane.
Proposed Advisory Circular 120-YY, Widespread Fatigue Damage on Metallic Structure
This action extends the comment period stated in the Notice of Availability of proposed Advisory Circular (AC) 120-YY, ``Widespread Fatigue Damage on Metallic Structure,'' that was published on May 22, 2006. In that document, the FAA announced the availability of and request for comments on proposed revisions to an AC which provides guidance to design approval holders for certain transport category airplanes related to repairs and alterations to preclude widespread fatigue damage.
Proposed Advisory Circular 120-XX, Damage Tolerance Inspections for Repairs
This action reopens the comment period stated in the Notice of Availability of proposed Advisory Circular (AC) 120-XX, ``Damage Tolerance Inspections for Repairs,'' that was published on April 21, 2006. In that document, the FAA announced the availability and request for comments on a proposed AC, which set forth an acceptable means, but not the only means, of demonstrating compliance with the provisions of the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes related to damage tolerance inspections for repairs. In addition, this action announces that at a future date, the FAA may revise the current proposed AC 120-XX to add guidance for damage tolerance inspections for alterations.
Damage Tolerance Data for Repairs and Alterations
This action extends the comment period for an NPRM that was published on April 21, 2006. In that document, the FAA proposed requirements for holders of design approvals to make available to operators damage tolerance data for repairs and alterations to fatigue critical structure. This extension is a result of requests from the Air Transport Association of America, Inc. (ATA), Airbus, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Cargo Airline Association (CAA), and National Air Carrier Association, Inc. (NACA) to extend the comment period to the proposal.
Widespread Fatigue Damage
This action extends the comment period for an NPRM that was published on April 18, 2006. In that document, the FAA proposed to require that design approval holders establish operational limits for transport category airplanes in order to prevent widespread fatigue damage in those airplanes. This extension is a result of requests from the Air Transport Association of America, Inc. (ATA), Airbus, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Cargo Airline Association (CAA), National Air Carrier Association, Inc. (NACA), and Lynden Air Cargo to extend the comment period for the proposal.
Enhanced Airworthiness Program for Airplane Systems/Fuel Tank Safety (EAPAS/FTS)
On October 6, 2005, the FAA published the ``Enhanced Airworthiness Program for Airplane Systems/Fuel Tank Safety (EAPAS/ FTS)'' proposed rule. This proposal includes a discussion about our intent to coordinate the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) for fuel tank system and electrical wiring interconnection systems (EWIS) to avoid redundancies in those ICA. It also discusses our intent to align the compliance dates for operators to include those ICA in their maintenance programs. The purpose of this document is to advise industry that while we still intend to avoid redundancies in the fuel tank system and EWIS ICA, it is no longer practical to align the compliance dates to incorporate those ICA into operator maintenance programs. As a result, the December 16, 2008 compliance date in the fuel tank safety operational rules remains firm, and industry should proceed with the necessary plans to meet this date.
Disqualification for Airman and Airman Medical Certificate Holders Based on Alcohol Violations or Refusals to Submit to Drug and Alcohol Testing; Correction
This document makes a correction to the final rule published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2006 (71 FR 35760). That rule changed the airman medical certification standards to disqualify an airman based on an alcohol test result of 0.04 or greater breath alcohol concentration (BAC) or a refusal to take a drug or alcohol test required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) or a DOT agency.
Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on Grant Acquired Property Release at Concord Regional Airport, Concord, NC
Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. Section 47153(c), notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from the City of Concord to waive the requirement that approximately 7.30 acres of airport property, located at the Concord Regional Airport, be used for aeronautical purposes.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 F4-600R Series Airplanes and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A300 F4-600R series airplanes and Model A300 C4- 605R Variant F airplanes. This AD requires modifying certain structure in the fuselage zone at the lavatory venturi installation in the nose section, and performing a related investigative action and corrective action if necessary. This AD results from an analysis that revealed that airplanes equipped with Airbus Modification 08909 had a concentration of loads higher than expected in the fuselage zone (high stress) at the lavatory venturi installation in the nose section, which could be the origin of cracks that developed in the fuselage skin and propagated from the edge of the air vent hole. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of the fuselage skin, which could result in loss of the structural integrity of the fuselage and consequent rapid depressurization of the airplane.
