Airworthiness Directives; Dassault-Aviation Model FALCON 7X Airplanes
Document Number: 2010-19295
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-08-05
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed 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; McDonnell Douglas Corporation Model DC-9-14, DC-9-15, and DC-9-15F Airplanes; and Model DC-9-20, DC-9-30, DC-9-40, and DC-9-50 Series Airplanes
Document Number: 2010-19292
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-08-05
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Model DC-9-14 and DC-9-15 airplanes; and Model DC-9-20, DC-9-30, DC-9-40, and DC-9-50 series airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive high frequency eddy current inspections to detect cracking in the vertical radius (also known as the ``vertical leg'') of the upper cap of the center wing rear spar, and repair if necessary. This proposed AD expands the area to be inspected by including inspections to detect cracking of the horizontal flange of the upper cap of the left and right center wing rear spar, and repair if necessary. This proposed AD also adds certain airplanes to the applicability. This proposed AD results from reports of cracking in the vertical radius of the upper cap of the center wing rear spar, and the horizontal flange on the inboard side of the rear spar upper cap, which resulted from stress corrosion. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracking in the vertical leg or the horizontal flange of the upper cap of the left or right center wing rear spar, which could cause a possible fuel leak, damage to the wing skin, and structural failure of the upper cap, and result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes, CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) Airplanes, CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) Airplanes, and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) Airplanes

Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed 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; The Boeing Company Model 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F Series Airplanes Equipped With General Electric CF6-80C2 or Pratt & Whitney PW4000 Series Engines
Document Number: 2010-19287
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-08-05
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Model 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F series airplanes. This proposed AD would require modifying certain thrust reverser control system wiring to the flap control unit (FCU). This proposed AD results from a report of automatic retraction of the leading edge flaps due to indications transmitted to the FCU from the thrust reverser control system during takeoff. We are proposing this AD to prevent automatic retraction of the leading edge flaps during takeoff, which could result in reduced climb performance and consequent collision with terrain and obstacles or forced landing of the airplane.

The Federal Aviation Administration is considering issuing waivers to foreign manufacturers of FOD detection equipment that meet the requirements of FAA Advisory Circular 150/5220-24, Airport Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Detection Equipment. This notice requests information from manufacturers of equipment meeting the Advisory Circular requirements to determine whether a waiver of the Buy American Preferences should be issued.
Proposed Establishment of Low Altitude Area Navigation Routes (T-281, T-283, T-285, T-286, and T-288); Nebraska and South Dakota
Document Number: 2010-19270
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-08-05
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to establish five low altitude Area Navigation (RNAV) routes, designated T-281, T-283, T-285, T-286, and T- 288, over Nebraska and South Dakota; controlled by Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) and Minneapolis ARTCC. T-routes are low altitude Air Traffic Service routes, based on RNAV, for use by aircraft that have instrument flight rules (IFR) approved Global Positioning System (GPS)/Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment. This action would enhance safety and improve the efficient use of the navigable airspace within Denver and Minneapolis ARTCC airspace.
Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Corporation Model MD-11 and MD-11F Airplanes Equipped With General Electric CF6-80C2 Series Engines
Document Number: 2010-19156
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-08-05
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Model MD-11 and MD-11F airplanes. This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual to advise the flightcrew to use certain procedures during descent in certain icing conditions. This AD results from reports of several in-flight engine flameouts, including multiple dual engine flameout events, in ice-crystal icing conditions. We are issuing this AD to ensure that the flightcrew has the proper procedures to follow in certain icing conditions. These certain icing conditions could cause a multiple engine flameout during flight with the potential inability to restart the engines, and consequent forced landing of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 Series Airplanes, and Model A340-200, -300, -500 and -600 Series Airplanes

Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is correcting airworthiness directive (AD) 2010-14-19, which published in the Federal Register on July 13, 2010. That AD applies to certain Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model A340-200, -300, -500 and -600 series airplanes. A certain service bulletin number in Note 3 of the regulatory section is incorrect. This document corrects that service bulletin number. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.
Airworthiness Directives; Schweizer Aircraft Corporation (Schweizer) Model 269D Helicopters
Document Number: 2010-19114
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-08-05
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the Schweizer Model 269D helicopters. This action requires installing a Scroll Housing Blade Containment Shielding Kit on each helicopter. This amendment is prompted by 21 reports of the blades of the oil cooler impeller separating, one of which punctured the engine and transmission oil cooler resulting in loss of engine oil pressure. The actions specified in this AD are intended to protect the oil cooler from uncontained oil cooler impeller blades that could damage the oil cooler and result in loss of engine and transmission oil pressure, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Document Number: 2010-18721
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-07-29
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to remove Class E airspace at St. George Municipal Airport, St. George, UT, as the airport will be closing, eliminating the need for controlled airspace. This action also would establish Class E airspace for the new St. George Municipal Airport located to the south of the original airport. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS), VHF Omni-Directional Radio Range/ Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME), Localizer Type Directional Aid/ Distance Measuring Equipment (LDA/DME) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at the new St. George Municipal Airport, St. George, UT.

Amendment and Establishment of Restricted Areas and Other Special Use Airspace, Razorback Range Airspace Complex, AR
Document Number: 2010-18665
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-07-29
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action establishes two new restricted areas, amends an existing restricted area, and amends the boundaries description of the Special Use Airspace (SUA) Hog High North military operation area (MOA) that is contained in the Razorback Range Airspace Complex (RRAC) in the vicinity of Fort Chaffee, AR. Unlike restricted areas, which are designated under 14 CFR part 73, MOAs are not rulemaking airspace actions. However, since the proposed R-2402B airspace and the Hog High North MOA airspace overlap, the FAA included a description of the Hog High North MOA change in the NPRM. The Air National Guard (ANG) requested these airspace changes to permit more realistic aircrew training in modern tactics to be conducted within the RRAC and to enable more efficient use of the National Airspace System.
