Federal Aviation Administration October 17, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-15AG, -27, -28, -34, -34AG, -34B, and -36 Series Turboprop Engines
Document Number: 2011-26840
Type: Rule
Date: 2011-10-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-15AG, -27, -28, -34, -34AG, -34B, and -36 series turboprop engines. This emergency AD was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of these engines. This AD requires the removal of affected part manufacturer approval (PMA) replacement Timken Alcor Aerospace Technologies, Inc. (TAATI) first stage reduction sun gears and the interacting planet gears, from the propeller reduction gearbox assembly. This AD was prompted by failures of certain PMA replacement first stage reduction sun gears, manufactured by TAATI. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; CPAC, Inc. Airplanes
Document Number: 2011-26806
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-10-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all CPAC, Inc. (type certificate formerly held by Commander Aircraft Corporation, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, and Rockwell International) Models 112, 112B, 112TC, 112TCA, 114, 114A, 114B, and 114TC airplanes. The existing AD currently requires a one- time inspection of the elevator spar for cracks and, if any crack is found, either replace with a serviceable elevator spar that is found free of cracks or repair/modify the elevator spar with an FAA-approved method. That AD also requires reporting to the FAA the results of the inspection. Since we issued that AD, using the data collected through the reporting requirement, we have determined there is a need for continued inspections. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the elevator spar for cracks and, if any crack is found, either replace with a serviceable elevator spar that is free of any cracks and/or corrosion or repair/modify the elevator spar with an FAA- approved procedure. We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action amends the time of designation for restricted areas R-5314A, B, C, D, E, F, H, and J in Dare County, NC, by removing the specific published times on Saturday and Sunday. This change reflects current utilization of the restricted areas and provides increased public access to the area on weekends.
Submission Deadline for Schedule Information for San Francisco International Airport for the Summer 2012 Scheduling Season
Document Number: 2011-26774
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-10-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
Under this notice, the FAA announces the designation of San Francisco International Airport (SFO) as a Level 2 airport under the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG) effective for the Summer 2012 scheduling season. The FAA has determined this designation is necessary based primarily on runway capacity, existing congestion and delays, and expected increased congestion due to a multi-year airport construction project. The FAA announces a deadline of October 20, 2011, for carriers to submit to the FAA schedule information for all planned operations at SFO between the hours of 0600 and 2259, Pacific time, (1300 and 0559 UTC). This deadline is a week later than the IATA deadline due to late notice of the Level 2 designation. The FAA will grant an additional short extension if a carrier requires additional time to complete its initial submission, provided that extension would not impede preparations for the IATA Schedules Conference in November 2011.

Document Number: 2011-26759
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-10-17

Document Number: 2011-26753
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-10-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to modify Class E airspace at Show Low Regional Airport, Show Low, AZ. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at Show Low Regional Airport. The FAA is proposing this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to the products listed above.

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments
Document Number: 2011-26268
Type: Rule
Date: 2011-10-17
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
