Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Helicopters
Document Number: 2021-16467
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-05-06, which applies to Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (Airbus Helicopters) Model EC135P1, EC135P2, EC135P2+, EC135P3, EC135T1, EC135T2, EC135T2+, and EC135T3 helicopters. AD 2019-05-06 requires replacing the retaining ring, inspecting the hoist cable hook assembly, and, if necessary, replacing the elastomeric energy absorber. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-05-06 the design approval holder (DAH) has designed an updated hook assembly, which, when installed, terminates the repetitive inspections required by AD 2019-05-06. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions specified in AD 2019-05-06, and would also require a modification or replacement of the hoist cable hook assembly that would terminate the repetitive inspections and retaining ring replacements, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Airplanes
Document Number: 2021-16464
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Models DA 42, DA 42 NG, and DA 42 M-NG airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as failure of the nose landing gear (NLG) actuator attachment lever and detachment from the NLG leg. This proposed AD would require repetitively inspecting the NLG actuator attachment lever for cracks and damage and taking any necessary corrective actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
Document Number: 2021-16450
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD- 500-1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report indicating that during production, the manual opening and closing of the over-wing emergency exit door (OWEED) prior to the installation of the OWEED interior panel could have resulted in damaged insulation blankets below the left and right OWEEDs. This proposed AD would require a one-time inspection for damage of the insulation blankets below the left and right OWEEDs, and replacement if necessary, as specified in a Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Amendment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Route Q-34; Northeastern United States
Document Number: 2021-16432
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action amends Area Navigation (RNAV) route Q-34 in the northeastern United States in support of the Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Route Project (NEC ACR) for improved efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS) while reducing the dependency on ground based navigational systems.
Airworthiness Directives; De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
Document Number: 2021-16431
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-400, - 401, and -402 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of cracking found on a main landing gear (MLG) drag strut assembly. This proposed AD would require a records review to determine if an affected MLG drag strut assembly is installed, repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of affected strut assemblies, a one-time magnetic particle inspection for cracking, and on-condition actions if necessary. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace and Establishment of Class E Airspace; Waco, TX
Document Number: 2021-16393
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action amends the Class D and Class E airspace and establishes Class E airspace at airports in Waco, TX. This action is the result of a biennial airspace review. The name and geographic coordinates of various airports are also being updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace, Revocation of Class E Airspace and Establishment of Class E Airspace; Carbondale and Marion, IL
Document Number: 2021-16391
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action amends the Class D airspace and Class E airspace at Carbondale, IL, and Marion, IL; revokes the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to Class D airspace at Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois, Marion, IL; and establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Southern Illinois Airport, Carbondale/Murphysboro, IL. This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Marion very high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional range (VOR) navigation aid as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. The names and geographic coordinates of the airports are also being updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace and Revocation of Class E Airspace; Columbus, OH
Document Number: 2021-16390
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action amends the Class D airspace and Class E airspace at Columbus, OH, and revokes the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Darby Dan Airport, Columbus, OH. This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Rickenbacker International Airport runway 5R middle marker and the cancellation of the instrument procedures at Darby Dan Airport. The name and geographic coordinates of the various airports are also being updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Hondo, TX
Document Number: 2021-16389
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Massena, NY
Document Number: 2021-16381
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This action amends Class E surface area and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Massena International-Richards Field Airport, Massena, NY. The FAA is taking this action as a result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Massena Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of Massena International-Richards Field Airport, Massena, NY, to coincide with the FAA's database. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

Document Number: 2021-16380
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-08-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
