Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Changes in Permissible Stage 2 Airplane Operations
Document Number: 2019-03665
Type: Notice
Date: 2019-03-01
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves information used to issue special flight authorizations for non-revenue transports and non-transport jet operations of Stage 2 airplanes at U.S. airports. Only a minimal amount of data is requested to identify the affected parties and determine whether the purpose for the flight is one of those enumerated by law. This collection is required under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (as amended by Pub. L. 106-113) and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012.
Airworthiness Directives; Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A., Turboshaft Engines
Document Number: 2019-03641
Type: Rule
Date: 2019-03-01
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Safran Helicopter Engines), ASTAZOU XIV B and H model engines with certain 3rd-stage turbine wheels installed. This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections of the 3rd-stage turbine wheels. This AD was prompted by a report that six 3rd-stage turbine wheels were returned to service after a repair that could result in exceedance of the allowable vibration threshold during operation. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on a Land Use Change From Aeronautical to Non-Aeronautical Use for 52.41 Acres of Airport Land for Existing Business Park Use at Martha's Vineyard Airport, West Tisbury, MA
Document Number: 2019-03619
Type: Notice
Date: 2019-03-01
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
Notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from Martha's Vineyard Airport to change the current land use from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use of a 52.41-acre parcel of land. The parcel is located in the Southeastern quadrant of the airport and is currently used for the Airport Business Park. The development does not impact existing aviation land needs nor impacts future aviation land needs of the airport per their most current Airport Layout Plan. The airport obtains fair market value for the lease of the land and is deposited in the airports operations and maintenance account.
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Coushatta, LA
Document Number: 2019-03615
Type: Rule
Date: 2019-03-01
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at The Red River Airport, Coushatta, LA. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures developed at The Red River Airport, for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations.
Proposed Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace, and Revocation of Class E Airspace; Brooksville, FL
Document Number: 2019-03614
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-03-01
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to amend Class D and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport, (previously Hernando County Airport), Brooksville, FL, by recognizing the airport's name change and updating the airport's geographic coordinates. Also, Class E surface airspace would be removed as it is no longer necessary. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport. This action also would replace the outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the legal descriptions of associated Class D airspace of this airport.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Auburn, AL
Document Number: 2019-03613
Type: Rule
Date: 2019-03-01
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Auburn University Regional Airport, Auburn, AL, to accommodate new area navigation (RNAV) global positioning system (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures serving this airport. Also, this action recognizes the airport's name change and updates the airport's geographic coordinates. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Document Number: 2019-03468
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-03-01
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 737-100, 737-200, 737-200C, 737-300, 737-400, and 737-500 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracks in the frame webs below the passenger floor. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for cracking of the fuselage lower lobe frames, and applicable on-condition actions. This proposed AD would also provide an optional terminating action for certain repetitive inspections. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Document Number: 2019-03431
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-03-01
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 737 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that structural fatigue cracks can develop in certain aluminum pressure module check valves prior to the design limit. This proposed AD would require an inspection to determine the part numbers of the four hydraulic systems A and B pressure module check valves and applicable on-condition actions. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
