Proposed Establishment of Low Altitude Area Navigation Routes (T-Routes); Southwest Oregon
Document Number: E8-2759
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-02-14
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to establish a low altitude Area Navigation (RNAV) route, designated T-274 in the State of Oregon. T- routes are low altitude Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes, based on RNAV, for use by aircraft having instrument flight rules (IFR)-approved Global Positioning System (GPS)/Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment. The FAA is proposing this action to enhance safety and improve the efficient use of the navigable airspace in the State of Oregon.

This is an administrative change that does not alter the boundaries, designated altitudes, time of designation, or activities conducted within the restricted areas.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 Series Airplanes
Document Number: E8-2626
Type: Rule
Date: 2008-02-14
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Airworthiness Directives; Viking Air Limited Model (Caribou) DHC-4 and (Caribou) DHC-4A Airplanes; and Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP Series Airplanes
Document Number: E8-2623
Type: Rule
Date: 2008-02-14
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is correcting typographical errors in three existing airworthiness directives (ADs) that were published in the Federal Register on January 8, 2008 (73 FR 1269); January 7, 2008 (73 FR 1052); and January 7, 2008 (73 FR 1055). The errors resulted in incorrect docket numbers. One AD applies to all Viking Air Limited Model (Caribou) DHC-4 and (Caribou) DHC-4A airplanes. The other two ADs apply to all Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747- 200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. The Viking Air AD requires doing a fluorescent penetrant inspection for cracking of certain upper engine mount bracket assemblies, and corrective actions if necessary. One of the Boeing ADs requires revising the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program to include inspections that will give no less than the required damage tolerance rating for each structural significant item, and repair of cracked structure. The other Boeing AD requires implementing a corrosion prevention and control program.
Operating Limitations at John F. Kennedy International Airport; Notice of Order
Document Number: 08-661
Type: Notice
