Federal Aviation Administration Federal Register Rules, Proposed Rules, and Notices June 27 – July 1 2011

Rules

  1. Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 Series Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0573; Directorate Identifier 2011–NM–082–AD; Amendment 39–16734; AD 2011–13–11]. Final Rule. We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This AD results from 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: Some operators reported slow operation of the MLG [main landing gear] door opening/ closing sequence, leading to the generation of ECAM [Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring] warnings during the landing gear retraction or extension sequence. * * * * * This condition, if not corrected, could prevent the full extension and/or downlocking of the MLG,  possibly resulting in MLG collapse during landing or rollout and consequent damage to the aeroplane and injury to occupants. * * * * * After in-service  introduction of the new MLG door actuator, P/N 114122012, several operators reported failures of internal parts of the MLG door actuator. Investigations confirmed that these failures could result in slow extension of the actuator rod, delaying the MLG Door operation, or possibly stopping just before the end of the stroke, preventing the door to reach the fully open position. * * * * * This AD  requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. DATES: This AD becomes effective July 12, 2011. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of July 12, 2011. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain other publication, listed in the AD as of April 27, 2007 (72 FR 13681, March 23, 2007). We must receive comments on this AD by August 11, 2011.
  2. Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330–200 and –300 Series Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2009–1212; Directorate Identifier 2008–NM– 167–AD; Amendment 39–16732; AD 2011–13–09]. Final Rule. We are  superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to the products  listed above. This AD results from 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: * * * * * The airworthiness limitations applicable to the Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR) are given in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3, which is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The revision 03 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 3 introduces more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations. Failure to comply with this revision constitutes an unsafe condition. * * * * * The unsafe  condition is safetysignificant latent failures that would, in combination with one or more other specific failures or events, result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD becomes effective August 1, 2011. The  Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of August 1, 2011. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of April 9, 2007 (72 FR 9658, March 5, 2007).
  3. Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC–8–400 Series Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0036; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–230–AD; Amendment 39–16729; AD 2011–13–06]. Final Rule. We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results
    from 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: Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the aeroplanes fuel system against fuel tank safety standards introduced in Chapter 525 of the Airworthiness Manual through Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) 2002–043 [which  corresponds with the FAA’s Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 88]. The
    identified non-compliances were then assessed using Transport Canada Policy
    Letter No. 525–001, to determine if mandatory corrective action is required.
    The assessment showed that a number of modifications to the fuel system are required to mitigate unsafe conditions that could result in potential ignition source within the fuel system. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD becomes effective August 1, 2011. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by  reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 1, 2011.
  4. Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC–8–400 Series Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0260; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–242–AD; Amendment 39–16731; AD 2011–13–08]. Final Rule. We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from 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: Several reports have been received on the elevator power control units (PCUs) where the shaft (tailstock) swaged bearing liners had shown a higher than normal rate of  wear. Investigation revealed that the excessive wear was due to the paint  contamination between the bearing roller and bearing liner. The bearing paint contamination is known to be abrasive and could seize the bearing. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to excessive airframe vibrations and difficulties in  aircraft pitch control. * * * * * The unsafe condition is loss of controllability. We  are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these  products. DATES: This AD becomes effective August 1, 2011. The Director of the  Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication  listed in this AD as of August 1, 2011.
  5. Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB–120, –120ER, –120FC, –120QC, and –120RT Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2010–0546; Directorate Identifier 2009–NM– 215–AD; Amendment 39–16659; AD 2011–08–09]. Final Rule. We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from 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: It has been found that some fuel quantity probes may fail during the airplane life leading to an erroneous fuel quantity indication to the crew. This erroneous indication may lead to the airplane being operated with less fuel than indicated which may lead to an  uncommanded in-flight shutdown of one or both engines due to fuel starvation. * * * * * We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD becomes effective August 1, 2011. The  Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 1, 2011.
  6. Airworthiness Directives; Learjet Inc. Model 45 Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2010–0802; Directorate Identifier 2009–NM–256–AD; Amendment 39–16733; AD 2011–13–10]. Final Rule.We are superseding an
    existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. That AD
    currently requires, for certain airplanes, repetitive inspections for chafing and other damage of the case drain tube from the hydraulic pump case installed on the left-hand engine, and corrective action if necessary. That AD also requires, for all airplanes, repetitive inspections for discrepancies of the left engine’s nacelle  tubing, repetitive inspections for evidence of fluid leakage within the left engine  accessory compartment, and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD also  requires replacing the left engine fuel and hydraulic tubing and installing a tubing support channel, which terminates the repetitive inspections required in the existing AD. This new AD also removes airplanes from the applicability. This AD was prompted by reports of chafed hydraulic tubes in the left-hand engine. We are issuing this AD to prevent chafed hydraulic tubes in the left-hand engine and consequent hydraulic tube failure and uncontrolled loss of flammable fluid within the engine cowling, which could result in a fire in the engine nacelle and loss of  control of the airplane. DATES: This AD is effective August 1, 2011. The Director  of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain  publications listed in the AD as of August 1, 2011. The Director of the Federal  Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain other publications  listed in this AD as of June 17, 2009 (74 FR 26288, June 2, 2009).
  7. Establishment of Helicopter Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes; Northeast United States. 14 CFR Part 71 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0078; Airspace Docket No. 10–AEA–20]. Final Rule. This action establishes helicopter RNAV routes as part of the U.S. air traffic service route (ATS) structure and designates two helicopter
    RNAV routes (TK-routes) in the northeast corridor between the Washington, DC, and New York City metropolitan areas. The TK-routes are for use by helicopters having IFR approved Global Positioning System (GPS)/Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment. The FAA is taking this action to enhance safety and to improve the efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR helicopter operations. DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, August 25, 2011. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.
  8. Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments. 14 CFR Part 97 [Docket No. 30789; Amdt. No. 3431]. Final Rule. 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. DATES: This rule is effective June 27, 2011. The compliance date for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the amendatory provisions. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of June 27, 2011.
  9. Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments. 14 CFR Part 97 [Docket No. 30788; Amdt. No. 3430 ]. Final Rule. This 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. DATES: This rule is effective June 27, 2011. The compliance date for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the amendatory provisions. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulations is  approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of June 27, 2011.

Rules

  1. Airworthiness Directives: Lycoming Engines (Type Certificate Previously Held by Textron Lycoming) and Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) Turbocharged  Reciprocating Engines. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0126; Directorate
    Identifier 2011–NE–03–AD; Amendment 39–16726; AD 2011–13–03]. Final rule. We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD requires inspecting certain Lycoming and TCM reciprocating  engines with certain Hartzell Engine Technologies, LLC (HET) turbochargers  installed, and disassembly and cleaning of the turbocharger center housing and rotating assembly (CHRA) cavities of affected turbochargers. This AD was prompted by a turbocharger failure due to machining debris left in the cavities of the CHRA during manufacture. We are issuing this AD to prevent seizure of the turbocharger turbine, which could result in damage to the engine, and smoke in  the airplane cabin. DATES: This AD is effective July 13, 2011. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication  listed in this AD as of July 13, 2011. We must receive comments on this AD by  August 12, 2011.

Proposed Rules

  1. Airworthiness Directives; Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Model (Diamond)  DA 40 Airplanes Equipped With Certain Cabin Air Conditioning Systems. 14 CFR  Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0687; Directorate Identifier 2011–CE–017–AD]. Proposed rules. We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD would require deactivation and removal of the vapor cycle system (VCS) installed per STC SA03674AT held by Premier Aircraft Services (originally held by DER Services) following DER Services Master Document List MDL– 2006–020–1, Revision C, dated February 3, 2009;  Revision D, dated April 22, 2009; Revision E, dated May 12, 2010; or Revision F, dated July 6, 2010. This proposed AD would also require revision to the airplane  weight and balance. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of damage  around the VCS compressor mounting areas found during maintenance  inspections. We are proposing this AD to remove the VCS mount, which could  result in the air conditioner compressor disconnecting in the engine compartment. This condition could result in engine stoppage or additional damage to the engine.
    DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 12, 2011.
  2. Airworthiness Directives; Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) and Rolls- Royce  Motors Ltd. (R–RM) Series Reciprocating Engines. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No.  FAA–2011–0085; Directorate Identifier 2000–NE–19–AD]. Proposed rule. We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to  certain TCM and R–RM series reciprocating engines. The existing AD currently  requires replacement of certain magnetos if they fall within the specified serial  number (S/N) range, inspection of the removed magneto to verify that the stop  pin is still in place, and, if the stop pin is not in place, inspection of the engine gear
    train, crankcase, and accessory case. Since we issued that AD, we became aware of an error in the previous AD applicability in the range of magneto S/Ns affected, and of the need to include certain engines made by R–RM, under license of TCM.  This proposed AD would correct the range of S/Ns affected, require the same  replacement and inspections, and would add R–RM C–125, C–145, O–300,  IO–360, TSIO– 360, and LTSIO–520–AE series reciprocating engines to the
    applicability. We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these
    products. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 12, 2011.

Proposed Rules

  1. Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 B4–600, B4–600R, and F4–600R
    Series Airplanes, and Model C4–605R Variant F Airplanes (Collectively Called A300–600 Series Airplanes) and A310 Series Airplanes.
    14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0647; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–193–AD]. Notice. We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from 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: Surface defects were visually detected on the rudder of an  Airbus A319 and an A321 in-service aeroplane. Investigation has determined that the defects reported on both rudders corresponded to areas that had been reworked in production. The investigation confirmed that the defects were the result of de-bonding between the skin and honeycomb core. Such reworks were  also performed on some rudders fitted on A310 and A300–600 aeroplanes.
    An extended de-bonding, if not detected and corrected, may degrade the  structural integrity of the rudder. The loss of the rudder leads to degradation of the handling qualities and reduces the controllability of the aeroplane. * * * * * The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 15, 2011.
  2. Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 747–100, 747–100B, 747–200B, 747–200C, 747–200F, 747– 300, 747SR, and 747SP Series Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0645; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–009–AD]. Notice. The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Model 747 series airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive inspections for cracks of the fuselage skin lap splice between body station (BS) 400 and BS 520 at stringers S–6L and S–6R, and repair if necessary. This proposed AD would shorten the interval for the repetitive inspections, require modification for certain airplanes, and require certain post-modification inspections for other airplanes. This proposed AD results from reports of multiple adjacent cracks on an airplane, and a recent fleet-wide evaluation of widespread fatigue damage of skin lap joints, which indicated the need for revised procedures and reduced compliance times. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the fuselage skin lap splice between BS 400 and BS 520 at stringers S–6L and S–6R. Such cracking could  result in sudden loss of cabin pressurization and the inability of the fuselage to  withstand fail-safe loads. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 15, 2011.
  3. Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 777 Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0644; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–265–AD]. Notice. We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD would require repetitive detailed inspection and high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections for cracks of the wing center  section (WCS) spanwise beams, and repair if necessary. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracks found in the web pockets of the WCS spanwise beams. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracking in the WCS spanwise beams, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the wings.
    DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 15, 2011.
  4. Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0648;  Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–276–AD]. Notice. We propose to adopt a new
    airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This proposed AD results from 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: Seven cases of on-ground hydraulic accumulator screw cap/end cap failure have been experienced on CL–600–2B19 aeroplanes, resulting in the loss of the associated hydraulic system and   high-energy impact damage to adjacent systems and structure. * * * * * * * * A  detailed analysis of the calculated line of trajectory of a failed screw cap/end cap  for each of the accumulators has been conducted, resulting in the identification of several areas where systems and/or structural components could potentially be  damaged. Although all of the failures to date have occurred on the ground, an  in-flight failure affecting such components could potentially have an adverse effect  on the controllability of the aeroplane. * * * * * The proposed AD would  require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the  MCAI. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 15,  2011.
  5. Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Galaxy and Gulfstream 200 Airplanes. 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2011–0646; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–224–AD]. Notice. We propose to adopt a new
    airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from 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:
    Cracked nuts * * * were found on aircraft’s production line during routine post assembly inspection. Investigation revealed that the cracks resulted from  hydrogen embrittlement combined with high hardness. Non-conformity with  certified mechanical properties of this fastener can potentially lead to an unsafe condition. The unsafe condition is cracked nuts in multiple locations (including aileron fittings, rudder tab assembly and mounting structure for power drive
    units) could result in failure of affected locations and consequent reduced controllability or reduced structural capability of the airplane. The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 15, 2011.
