Thu, Jun 26 2008 11:00:00 GMT

This action confirms the effective date of a direct final rule published in the Federal Register (73 FR 15058) that amends the Class E airspace area to support Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs) that were developed to serve the Stuart Powell Field Airport.

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Canon, GA

Thu, Jun 26 2008 11:00:00 GMT

This action establishes Class E Airspace at Canon, GA, to accommodate the new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) that have been developed for Franklin County Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain the SIAP and for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at Franklin County Airport. The operating status of the airport will change from Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to include IFR operations concurrent with the publication of the SIAP.

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Susquehanna, PA

Thu, Jun 26 2008 11:00:00 GMT

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous

Thu, Jun 26 2008 11:00:00 GMT

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.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330 and A340 Airplanes

Thu, Jun 26 2008 11:00:00 GMT

The FAA is revising an earlier supplemental NPRM (SNPRM) for an airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Airbus Model A330 200, A330300, A340200, and A340300 series airplanes; and Model A340 541 and A340642 airplanes. The original NPRM would have superseded an existing AD that currently requires operators to revise the Airworthiness Limitations section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to incorporate new information. This information includes, for all affected airplanes, decreased life limit values for certain components; and for Model A330200 and 300 series airplanes, new inspections, compliance times, and new repetitive intervals to detect fatigue cracking, accidental damage, or corrosion in certain structures. The original NPRM proposed to revise the ALS, for all affected airplanes, by adding new Airworthiness Limitations Items (ALIs) to incorporate service life limits for certain items and inspections to detect fatigue cracking, accidental damage or corrosion

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 Series Airplanes

Thu, Jun 26 2008 11:00:00 GMT

The FAA is revising an earlier NPRM for an airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Bombardier Model DHC8400 series airplanes. The original NPRM would have superseded an existing AD that currently requires inspecting all barrel nuts to determine if the barrel nuts have a certain marking, inspecting affected bolts to determine if the bolts are preloaded correctly, and replacing all hardware if the preload is incorrect. For airplanes on which the pre load is correct, the existing AD requires doing repetitive visual inspections for cracking of the barrel nuts and cradles and replacing all hardware for all cracked barrel nuts. The existing AD also requires replacement of all hardware for certain affected barrel nuts that do not have cracking, which would end the repetitive inspections for those airplanes. The existing AD also provides an optional replacement for all affected barrel nuts. The original NPRM proposed to require replacement of all affected barrel nuts. The original NPRM resu

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 Airplanes

Thu, Jun 26 2008 11:00:00 GMT

We are revising an earlier NPRM for the products listed above. This action revises the earlier NPRM by expanding the scope. 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:

Periodic operational check of the firewall hydraulic shutoff valves, made during routine maintenance, has revealed that the failure rate of that component is significantly higher than expected. Such a dormant failure, when combined with further possible failures, such as engine fire, may lead to an unacceptable reduction of safety margins.
The unsafe condition is failure of the firewall hydraulic shutoff valve, which, in combination with an engine fire, could result in loss of hydraulic pressure or spread of an engine fire beyond the firewall. The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe co

Public Notice For Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; MBS International Airport, Saginaw, Michigan

Thu, Jun 26 2008 11:00:00 GMT

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of the MBS International Airport (MBS) from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. The proposal consists of the sale of vacant, unimproved land owned by the MBS International Airport Commission (Commission).

The Commission has requested from FAA a ``Release from Federal agreement obligated land covenants'' to sell a portion of Parcel 6 which was acquired on March 14, 1949, under Instrument of Transfer from the United States of America, acting by and through the War Assets Administrator, to the Cities of Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland (recorded in Liber 802, pages 206216).

There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the Commission to dispose of the vacant property. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the disposal of the airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grantinaid funding from the FA
