Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-02-10
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action withdraws the NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 29, 2010, which proposed to establish Class E airspace at Lunenburg County Airport, Kenbridge, VA. The NPRM is being withdrawn as a portion of the proposed airspace was not included. A new rulemaking will be forthcoming to correctly establish the new airspace.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 747-400 and -400F Series Airplanes
Document Number: 2011-2952
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-02-10
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD would require a general visual inspection for cracks and holes of the main equipment center (MEC) drip shields, and repairs if necessary; installation of a fiberglass reinforcing overcoat; and, for certain airplanes, installation of stiffening panels to the MEC drip shields. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a loss of bus control unit number 1 and generator control units numbers 1 and 2 while the airplane was on the ground, and multiple operator reports of cracked MEC drip shields. We are proposing this AD to prevent water penetration into the MEC, which could result in the loss of flight critical systems.

Operations Specifications
Document Number: 2011-2834
Type: Rule
Date: 2011-02-10
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This amendment clarifies and standardizes the rules for applications by foreign air carriers and foreign persons for part 129 operations specifications and establishes new standards for amendment, suspension, and termination of those operations specifications. In addition, the FAA has moved definitions currently contained in a subpart to a separate part for clarity with no substantive changes to the definitions. The amendment also applies to foreign persons operating U.S.-registered aircraft in common carriage solely outside the United States. This action is necessary to update the process for issuing operations specifications and establishes a regulatory basis for current practices, such as amending, terminating, or suspending operations specifications.
