Federal Aviation Administration December 17, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 Series Airplanes
Document Number: C1-2010-27614
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-12-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
Airworthiness Directives; Honeywell International LTS101 Series Turboshaft Engines and LTP101 Series Turboprop Engines
Document Number: 2010-31782
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-12-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This supplemental NPRM revises an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD), for Honeywell International LTS101-600A series and LTS101-700D-2 turboshaft engines, and LTP101-600A-1A and LTP101-700A-1A turboprop engines with power turbine blades, part number (P/N) 4-141-084-06, installed. That proposed AD would have required removing power turbine blades, P/N 4-141-084-06 from service, using a drawdown schedule specified in that proposed AD. That proposal was prompted by reports of fatigue cracks in the airfoil of the power turbine blade. This action revises the proposed rule by expanding and clarifying the applicability to include more engine models and power turbine blade P/Ns that could have the unsafe condition, and by clarifying the applicability by specifying power turbine rotor P/Ns instead of the blade P/Ns. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to prevent fracture of the power turbine blade airfoil, which could result in sudden loss of engine power and prevent continued safe flight or safe landing.
Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney PW4000 Series Turbofan Engines
Document Number: 2010-31723
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-12-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pratt & Whitney PW4000 series turbofan engines. This AD requires initial and repetitive borescope inspections (BSI) or fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPI) for cracks in the anti-vortex tube (AVT) shelf slots on the 10th stage disk of the high-pressure compressor (HPC) drum rotor disk assembly. This AD results from 47 reports received since 2007 of HPC 10th stage disks found cracked in the AVT shelf slots during shop visit inspections. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HPC 10th stage disk, uncontained engine failure, and damage to the airplane.
Notice of Intent to Rule on Request to Release Airport Property at New Century AirCenter, New Century, Kansas
Document Number: 2010-31515
Type: Notice
Date: 2010-12-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the release of land at New Century AirCenter under the provisions of Section 125 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21).
Notice of Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Approvals and Disapprovals
Document Number: 2010-31514

Date: 2010-12-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA publishes a monthly notice, as appropriate, of PFC approvals and disapprovals under the provisions of the Aviation Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 (Title IX of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990) (Pub. L. 101-508) and Part 158 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 158). This notice is published pursuant to paragraph d of Sec. 158.29.
