Amendment of Class E Airspace; Morgan City, LA
Document Number: 2019-10358
Type: Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action removes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Morgan City, LA. This action due to the cancellation of the standard instrument approach procedures at the heliport making the airspace no longer necessary.
Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Rockford, IL
Document Number: 2019-10357
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to amend Class D airspace and Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth at Chicago/Rockford International Airport (formerly Greater Rockford Airport) in Rockford, IL. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the GILMY locator outer marker (LOM). The airport name would be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. The GILMY LOM and Greater Rockford ILS localizer are no longer needed in the description of the Class D and E-5 airspace and will be removed. Airspace redesign is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at these airports.

Notice of Intent of Waiver With Respect to Land; Willoughby Lost Nation Municipal Airport, Willoughby, Ohio
Document Number: 2019-10339
Type: Notice
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is considering a proposal to change 1.021 acres of airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of airport property located at Willoughby Lost Nation Municipal Airport, Willoughby, Ohio. The aforementioned land is not needed for aeronautical use. The property is located north east of the Runway 28 threshold, west of Reynolds Road and south of the City of Mentor Fire Station No. 4. The parcel is obligated as aeronautical use within the airport boundary as depicted on the current Exhibit A. There is no current existing aeronautical use. The proposed non-aeronautical use of the property is for a Regional Emergency Response Facility to be developed by the City of Mentor.
Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. (Bell) Helicopters
Document Number: 2019-10310
Type: Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-17-01 for Bell Model 212, 412, 412CF, and 412EP helicopters. AD 2018-17-01 required replacing certain oil and fuel check valves and prohibited installing these valves on any helicopter. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2018-17-01 but expands those requirements for all model helicopters. This AD was prompted by the discovery that we omitted a helicopter model from one of the required actions. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters
Document Number: 2019-10307
Type: Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, and AS332L1 helicopters. This AD requires inspecting the jettisoning mechanism of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) cabin sliding plug doors. This AD is prompted by a report that during a scheduled inspection a cabin door failed to jettison. The actions of this AD are intended to correct an unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited Helicopters
Document Number: 2019-10305
Type: Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited (Bell) Model 206A, 206B, 206L, 206L- 1, 206L-3, 206L-4, and 407 helicopters. This AD requires inspecting and cleaning the oil supply restrictor (restrictor) to the freewheel assembly. This AD was prompted by reports of a blocked oil line restrictor in the freewheel lubrication system. The actions of this AD are intended to address an unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines
Document Number: 2019-10233
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2008-22- 24 which applies to certain Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-535E4-37, RB211- 535E4-B-37, and RB211-535E4-B-75 model turbofan engines. AD 2008-22-24 requires initial and repetitive ultrasonic inspections of installed low-pressure compressor (LPC) fan blade roots on-wing and during overhaul, and relubrication according to accumulated life cycles. Since we issued AD 2008-22-24, RR determined the need to expand the inspections to engines operating under additional flight profiles and to extend the inspection intervals for certain affected engines. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive inspections to detect cracks on the installed LPC fan blade roots on-wing or at engine overhaul. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines AG Turbofan Engines
Document Number: 2019-10232
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2500 model turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by an inspection that determined that material anomalies exist in certain low-pressure turbine (LPT) stage 6 disks. This proposed AD would require removal from service of the affected LPT stage 6 disks and their replacement with a part eligible for installation. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines AG Turbofan Engines
Document Number: 2019-10231
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2525-D5 and V2528-D5 model turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracked turbine exhaust cases (TECs). This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive inspections of the affected TEC and, depending on the results of the inspections, its replacement with a part eligible for installation. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Proposed Revocation of Class E Airspace; Tecumseh, MI
Document Number: 2019-10185
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to remove Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Meyers-Divers' Airport and Tecumseh Products Airport, Tecumseh, MI. The FAA is proposing this action due to the cancellation of the instrument procedures; and the airspace is no longer required.
Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Minocqua-Woodruff, WI
Document Number: 2019-10183
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-05-20
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action proposes to amend Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth at Lakeland/Nobel F. Lee Memorial Field Airport in Minocqua-Woodruff, WI. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Arbor Vitae non-directional radio beacon (NDB). The geographic coordinates for the airport in the associated airspace would be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. Airspace redesign is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at these airports.
