Revision of Class E Airspace; Nome, AK

Mon, May 2 2005 11:00:00 GMT

This action revises Class E airspace at Nome, AK to provide adequate controlled airspace to contain aircraft executing new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP). This Rule results in additional Class E surface area and Class E airspace upward from 700 feet (ft.) and 1,200 ft. above the surface at Nome, AK.

Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (Jetstream) Model 4101 Airplanes

Mon, May 2 2005 11:00:00 GMT

The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (Jetstream) Model 4101 airplanes. The existing AD requires operators to determine the number of flight cycles accumulated on each component of the main landing gear (MLG) and the nose landing gear (NLG), and to replace each component that reaches its life limit with a serviceable component. The existing AD also requires operators to revise the Airworthiness Limitations section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness in the aircraft maintenance manual to reflect the new life limits. This proposed AD would require revising the ALS to incorporate extended and more restrictive life limits for structurally significant items. This proposed AD is prompted by engineering analysis of fleet operations which resulted in more restrictive life limits. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of certain structurally significant items, including the MLG and the NLG, whic

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, - 800, and -900 Series Airplanes

Mon, May 2 2005 11:00:00 GMT

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Boeing Model 737600, 700, 700C, 800, and 900 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the aft pressure bulkhead web for fatigue cracks, crack indications, discrepant holes, and corrosion, and repair if necessary. This proposed AD is prompted by reports of fatigue cracks in the aft pressure bulkhead web. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct such fatigue cracks, which could result in a rapid decompression of the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727 Airplanes

Mon, May 2 2005 11:00:00 GMT

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Boeing Model 727 airplanes. This proposed AD would require a onetime inspection of the lower lobe frames of body section 43 to find open holes between stringers 17L and 17R; repetitive high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections for cracks of all open holes; and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. The proposed AD also would include the optional terminating action of installing rivets in all open tooling holes and all unused lining holes, which would terminate a repetitive openhole HFEC inspection once a hole is plugged with a rivet. This proposed AD is prompted by reports of cracks at open tooling holes in the lower lobe frames of body section 43. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the frames, which could result in cracks in the skin panels and rapid decompression of the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-81 (MD- 81), DC-9-82 (MD-82), DC-9-83 (MD-83), DC-9-87 (MD-87),

Mon, May 2 2005 11:00:00 GMT

This document revises an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas airplane models, that would have required a onetime inspection for chafing or signs of arcing of the wire bundle for the auxiliary hydraulic pump, and other specified and corrective actions, as applicable. This new action revises the proposed rule by referring to revised procedures for performing the corrective and other specified actions. The actions specified by this new proposed AD are intended to prevent shorted wires or arcing at the auxiliary hydraulic pump, which could result in loss of auxiliary hydraulic power, or a fire in the wheel well of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Public Notice for a Change in Use of Aeronautical Property at Millville Municipal Airport, Millville, New Jersey

Mon, May 2 2005 11:00:00 GMT

The FAA is requesting public comment on the proposed release of approximately 140 acres of airport property on the south side of Millville Municipal Airport to permit its sale and development of a motorsport park. The airport land was deeded to the City of Millville under a quitclaim conveyance form the United States. It was later transferred to the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA). FAA's action is to release the land from the deed provisions requiring aeronautical use of the property. The DRBA has stated that it has no aeronautical use for the parcel now or in the near future, according to the approved Airport Layout Plan. It will also be released from a reverter clause in the quitclaim deed. The Fair Market Value for the land as determined by appraisals will be paid to the DRBA for the maintenance, operation and capital development of the airport. [[Page 22749]]

The motorsport park will consist of 4 racecourses, 2 paddock areas, 2 motels, 2 hotels, clubhouses, etc.
