Special Conditions: Honeywell, Inc., Pilatus PC-12/45; Protection of Systems for High Intensity Radiated Fields

Fri, Nov 14 2003 11:00:00 GMT

These special conditions are issued to Honeywell, Inc., 23500 W. 105th Street, Olathe, KS 66061, for a supplemental type certificate for the Pilatus PC12/45 airplane. This airplane will have novel and unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisaged in the applicable airworthiness standards. These novel and unusual design features include the installation of two electronic barometric altimeters, Model AM250, manufactured by Honeywell for which the applicable regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate airworthiness standards for the protection of these systems from the effects of high intensity radiated fields (HIRF). These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to the airworthiness standards applicable to these airplanes.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Rocky Mount, NC

Fri, Nov 14 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This action amends Class E5 airspace at Rocky Mount, NC. An Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP), helicopter point in space approach, has been developed for Nash General Hospital, Rocky Mount, NC. As a result, controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain the SIAP.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Smithfield, NC

Fri, Nov 14 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This action amends Class E5 airspace at Smithfield, NC. A Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP), helicopter point in space approach, has been developed for Johnston Memorial Hospital, Smithfield, NC. As a result, controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain the SIAP.

Establishment of Class E4 Airspace; and Modification of Class E5 Airspace; Goodland, KS.

Fri, Nov 14 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This rule establishes a Class E airspace area designated as an extension to the existing Class E surface area and modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Goodland, KS. These actions are to accommodate new and amended Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) developed to serve Renner Field Goodland Municipal Airport, Goodland, KS. The effect of this rule is to provide appropriate controlled Class E airspace for aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to Renner FieldGoodland Municipal Airport and to segregate aircraft using instrument approach procedures in instrument conditions from aircraft operating in visual conditions.

Amendment of Restricted Area R-2301E Ajo East, AZ; and R-2304, and 2305 Gila Bend, AZ

Fri, Nov 14 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This action amends the designated time of use for Restricted Area 2301E Ajo East, AZ (R2301E); and R2304 and R2305, Gila Bend, AZ. Increased training requirements at Luke Air Force Base (AFB) have resulted in a continued need for restricted airspace usage up to 2400 hours in these areas. This modification of the designated time of use does not change the current boundaries or activities conducted in the airspace areas.

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-135 and -145 Series Airplanes

Fri, Nov 14 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain EMBRAER Model EMB135 and EMB145 series airplanes. This proposal would require relocating the pitot 1 and pitot 2 drain valves from the nose landing gear (NLG) compartment to the forward electronic compartment, and accomplishing followon actions. This action is necessary to prevent ice from damaging the pitot drain valves, which could cause airspeed indication errors, resulting in display of erroneous or misleading information to the flight crew. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Proposed Establishment of Class D Airspace; Hilton Head Island, SC

Fri, Nov 14 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This notice proposes to establish Class D airspace at Hilton Head Island, SC. A federal contract tower with a weather reporting system is being constructed at Hilton Head Airport. Therefore, the airport will meet criteria for Class D airspace. Class D surface area airspace is required when the control tower is open to contain Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action would establish Class D airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 2,000 feet MSL within a 3.9mile radius of the airport.

Proposed Amendment to Class E Airspace; Erie, PA

Fri, Nov 14 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This notice proposes to amend the Class E airspace area at Erie, PA. The development of a Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) based on area navigation (RNAV) to serve flights into Life Star Base Heliport, Harbor Creek, PA, under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) has made this proposal necessary. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft executing the approach. The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
