Federal Aviation Administration July 21, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace
Document Number: 2010-17767
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-07-21
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action amends the regulations governing objects that may affect the navigable airspace. These rules have not been revised in several decades, and the FAA has determined it is necessary to update the regulations, incorporate case law and legislative action, and simplify the rule language. These changes will improve safety and promote the efficient use of the National Airspace System.
Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) Model S-92A Helicopters
Document Number: 2010-17756
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-07-21
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This document proposes adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Sikorsky Model S-92A helicopters. This proposal would require revising the airworthiness limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to reduce the life limit of the main gearbox housing and replacing any main gearbox housing that exceeds the life limit. This proposal is prompted by a fatigue analysis conducted after a helicopter was found with a severed main gearbox mounting foot pad (foot pad) that failed due to fatigue. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to prevent failure of the main gearbox mounting housing foot pad, loss of the main gearbox, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments
Document Number: 2010-17501
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-07-21
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
