Access to Aircraft Situation Display (ASDI) and National Airspace System Status Information (NASSI)
Document Number: 2011-4955
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-03-04
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA has tentatively decided that it is in the best interests of the United States Government and the general public to modify Section 9 of the June 1, 2006, MOA for Industry Access to Aircraft Situation Display (ASDI) and National Airspace System Status Information (NASSI) data, between the FAA and Direct Subscribers to ASDI and NASSI data-feeds. In recognition of the fact that the Privacy Act does not protect general aviation operators from public knowledge of their flight information, the FAA proposes to require Direct Subscribers (as a condition of signing the MOA) and Indirect Subscribers (as a condition of signing agreements with Direct Subscribers) to block from ASDI and NASSI data-feeds available to the public any general aviation aircraft registration number for which a Certified Security Concern has been provided to the FAA.

Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca Model Arriel 1E2, 1S, and 1S1 Turboshaft Engines
Document Number: 2011-4832
Type: Rule
Date: 2011-03-04
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action supersedes emergency airworthiness directive (AD) 2011-05-51 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of the products listed above. That AD requires inspecting the fuel ejector in the body of the fuel ejector assembly for proper installation by checking that the circlip is properly seated in its groove. That AD was prompted by three reports of incorrectly assembled low-pressure fuel system ejectors; with one of them resulting in an uncommanded engine in-flight shutdown. This AD requires the same actions and compliance times as the emergency AD, after receipt of the emergency AD, and expands the AD applicability by including helicopters having one or two affected engines and experiencing no starting difficulties. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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:
