Airworthiness Directives; Lockheed Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, 382G, and 382J Series Airplanes

Mon, Jul 7 2008 11:00:00 GMT

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Lockheed Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, 382G, and 382J series airplanes. This AD requires, among other actions, an inspection to determine whether a certain upper engine mount bolt is installed, and replacement of any discrepant upper engine mount bolt with a new one. This AD results from a report indicating that several upper engine mount bolts manufactured by a certain supplier broke during installation. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the upper engine mount bolts, which could result in reduced structural capability of an engine mount, and possible separation of a strut and engine from the airplane during flight.

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Pampa, TX

Mon, Jul 7 2008 11:00:00 GMT

This action establishes Class E5 airspace at Pampa, TX. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using new RNAV Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) at Mesa Vista Ranch Airport. The FAA is proposing this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft operations at Mesa Vista Ranch Airport, Pampa, TX.

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Plains, TX

Mon, Jul 7 2008 11:00:00 GMT

This action establishes Class E5 airspace at Plains, TX. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using new RNAV Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) at Yoakum County Airport, Plains, TX. This action will enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft operations at Yoakum County Airport.

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Model Mystere-Falcon 900, Falcon 900EX, and Falcon 2000 Airplanes

Mon, Jul 7 2008 11:00:00 GMT

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:

This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued following the discovery of a potential chafing between the rheostat of the 3rd crew member control panel reading light and the air gasper flexible hose, or with the electrical

wires nearby. If le[f]t uncorrected, this chafing may expose the metallic spiral armature of the flexible hose, or damage the electrical wires insulation, which could result in a shortcircuit generating sustained overheating and smoke emission.
* * * * *
The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

Agency Information Collection Activity Seeking OMB Approval

The FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) revision of a current information collection.
