Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Document Number: 2017-18389
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2017-08-30
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes.

Airworthiness Directives; Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A., Turboshaft Engines
Document Number: 2017-17829
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2017-08-25
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2013-11- 09 that applies to all Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A., Arrius 2B1 and 2F turboshaft engines. Depending on the engine model, AD 2013-11-09 requires the repetitive replacement of the fuel injector manifolds and privilege injector, or only the privilege injector. Since we issued AD 2013-11-09, we received reports of engine flameouts as a result of reduced fuel flow due to the presence of coking. This proposed AD would retain the repetitive hardware replacement requirements of AD 2013-11- 09, but only allow replacement pipe injector preferred assembly, part number (P/N) 0 319 73 044 0, on the Arrius 2F engines. We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional Airplanes
Document Number: 2017-17398
Type: Rule
Date: 2017-08-25
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-23-12, which applied to all ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and ATR72 airplanes. AD 2015-23-12 required identifying the serial number and part number of the main landing gear (MLG) rear hinge pins, and replacing pins or the MLG if necessary. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2015-23-12, requires replacing certain additional MLG hinge pins, and reduces certain compliance times. This AD was prompted by a new occurrence of a cracked MLG rear hinge pin. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Burlington, WI
Document Number: 2017-17755
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2017-08-24
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Burlington Municipal Airport, Burlington, WI. This action is necessary due to the decommissioning of the Burbun VHF omnidirectional range (VOR), and cancellation of the VOR approach procedure, and would enhance the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport, as the FAA transitions to performance-based navigation as part of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) to accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action would also update the geographic coordinates of the airport.
Proposed Establishment of Class D Airspace; Burns Flat, OK; Revocation of Class D Airspace; Clinton-Sherman Airport, OK; and Amendment of E Airspace for the Following Oklahoma Towns: Burns Flat, OK; Clinton, OK; and Elk City, OK
Document Number: 2017-17753
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2017-08-24
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to establish Class D airspace at Clinton- Sherman Airport, Burns Flat, OK; remove Class D airspace at Clinton- Sherman Airport, Clinton-Sherman Airport, OK; and amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Clinton- Sherman Airport, Burns Flat, OK; Clinton Municipal Airport, Clinton, OK; and Elk City Regional Business Airport, Elk City, OK. The FAA is proposing this action due to the decommissioning of the Sayre co- located VHF omnidirectional range and tactical air navigation (VORTAC) facility, which provided navigation guidance for the instrument procedures to these airports. The VORTAC is being decommissioned as part of the VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program.
