Federal Aviation Administration September 6, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Special Conditions: Dassault Falcon Model 900 and 900EX Airplanes; Interaction of Systems and Structures
Document Number: 2011-22631
Type: Rule
Date: 2011-09-06
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
These special conditions are issued for the Dassault Falcon Model 900 and 900EX airplanes. These airplanes, as modified by Aviation Partners Incorporated (API), will have a novel or unusual design feature associated with the interaction of systems and structures regarding installation of an automated wing-load-alleviation system. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. For the Dassault 900 and 900EX models with winglets, failure of the wing-load- alleviation system can result in a factor of safety (FS) below 1.5 as required. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

Airworthiness Directives; Dowty Propellers Type R321/4-82-F/8, R324/4-82-F/9, R333/4-82-F/12, and R334/4-82-F/13 Propeller Assemblies
Document Number: 2011-22566
Type: Rule

Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. That AD currently requires initial and repetitive ultrasonic inspections of propeller hubs, part number (P/N) 660709201. This new AD requires introducing a new hub assembly P/N as an optional terminating action to the repetitive hub inspections. This AD was prompted by the need to introduce an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. We are issuing this AD to prevent propeller hub failure due to cracks in the hub, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
