Federal Aviation Administration November 13, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Change of Controlling Agency for Restricted Areas R-6901A, R-6901B, and R-6903; Wisconsin
Document Number: E8-26934
Type: Rule
Date: 2008-11-13
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action changes the controlling agency of R-6901A and R- 6901B, Fort McCoy, WI, from ``FAA Chicago ARTCC'' to ``FAA, Minneapolis ARTCC.'' This action also changes the controlling agency of R-6903, Sheboygan, WI, from ``FAA, Chicago ARTCC'' to ``FAA, Minneapolis ARTCC.'' The FAA is taking this action in response to a request from Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) to reflect an administrative change of controlling agency responsibility for the restricted areas. There are no changes to the boundaries; designated altitudes; time of designation; or activities conducted within the affected restricted area.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes
Document Number: E8-26914
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-11-13
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive inspections of the fuselage skin to detect corrosion or fatigue cracking around and under the chafing plates of the wing root; repetitive inspections for fatigue cracking of frame 39, stringer 35; and corrective actions if necessary. The existing AD also provides for an optional terminating action for certain repetitive inspections, except for certain areas where corrosion was detected and reworked. This proposed AD would reduce the intervals for accomplishing repetitive inspections in a certain area. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracks and corrosion around and under the chafing plates of the wing root, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Models 182Q and 182R Airplanes
Document Number: E8-26910
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-11-13
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 182Q and 182R airplanes that are equipped with Societ[eacute] de Motorisations A[eacute]ronautiques (SMA) Aircraft Diesel Engine (ADE) Model SR305- 230-1 or Model SR305-230 converted to Model SR305-230-1 installed under Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SA03302AT. This proposed AD would require you to remove the intercooler and the intercooler inlet and outlet hoses, install a reworked intercooler and new intercooler inlet and outlet hoses, inspect hoses and clamp torques, and repetitively inspect installation of the intercooler outlet and inlet hose assemblies for any displacement or damage of clamps or hoses, and, if necessary, replace any damaged clamps or hoses. This proposed AD results from a report of two instances of induction hose disconnection occurring while in service, resulting in a loss of turbo boost and a significant loss of engine power. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct improper intercooler outlet and intercooler inlet hose assembly installations, which could result in loss of turbo boost and a significant loss of engine power. This failure could lead to an inability to maintain constant altitude in flight.
Petitions for Exemption; Summary of Petitions Received
Document Number: E8-26908
Type: Notice
Date: 2008-11-13
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This notice contains a summary of certain petitions seeking relief from specified requirements of 14 CFR.

Filtered Flight Data; Technical Correction and Extension of Comment Period
Document Number: E8-26856
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-11-13
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is correcting an SNPRM published in the Federal Register on August 15, 2008, regarding filtered flight data. Questions from industry caused us to conclude that the intent expressed in the preamble is inconsistent with the proposed rule language. This document will clarify our intent and the rule language. We are also extending the comment period to allow for consideration of this clarification by all interested parties.
