Airworthiness Directives; Britten Norman (Bembridge) Limited BN2A Mk. III Series Airplanes

Fri, Nov 29 2002 11:00:00 GMT

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Britten Norman (Bembridge) Limited (Britten Norman) BN2A Mk. III series airplanes. This AD requires you to repetitively inspect the rear enginemounting frame for cracks and replace the frame if cracks are found. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for the United Kingdom. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct cracks in the rear enginemounting frame, which could lead to engine mount failure. Such failure could result in separation of the engine from the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Model Falcon 900EX and Mystere Falcon 900 Series Airplanes

Fri, Nov 29 2002 11:00:00 GMT

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Dassault Model Falcon 900EX and Mystere Falcon 900 series airplanes, that requires repetitive operational tests of the flap asymmetry detection system to verify proper functioning, and repair, if necessary; repetitive replacement of the inboard flap jackscrews with new or reconditioned jackscrews; and repetitive measurement of the screw/nut play of the jackscrews on the inboard and outboard flaps to detect discrepancies, and corrective action, if necessary. This amendment also requires revision of the Airplane Flight Manual. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent jamming of the flap jackscrews during the approach to landing, which could result in inability to move the flaps or an asymmetric flap condition, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model SA-365N, SA- 365N1, AS-365N2, and AS 365 N3 Helicopters

Fri, Nov 29 2002 11:00:00 GMT

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the specified Eurocopter France (ECF) model helicopters that requires inspecting the 9degree frame (frame) for the correct edge distance of the two attachment holes for the reinforced latch support and for a crack and repairing the frame if necessary. This amendment is prompted by the detection of a fatigue crack on the lefthand (LH) side of the frame during maintenance. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the frame due to a crack at the latch support, loss of a passenger door, damage to the rotor system, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc. RB211-535 Turbofan Engines

Fri, Nov 29 2002 11:00:00 GMT

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to RollsRoyce plc. (RR) models RB211535E437, RB211 535E4B37, and RB211535E4B75 turbofan engines, with certain part number (P/N) low pressure (LP) turbine stage 2 discs installed. This action requires establishing new reduced LP turbine stage 2 disc cyclic limits. This action also requires removing from service affected discs that already exceed the new reduced cyclic limit, and removing other affected discs before exceeding their cyclic limits, using a drawdown schedule. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent LP turbine stage 2 disc failure, which could result in uncontained engine failure and possible loss of the airplane.

Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace, Afton, WY

Fri, Nov 29 2002 11:00:00 GMT

This action proposes to establish Class E airspace at Afton, WY. Newly developed Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) at Afton Municipal Airport has made this proposal necessary. The establishment of Class E airspace is required to contain aircraft executing instrument flight rule (IFR) operations at Afton Municipal Airport within controlled airspace. The intended effect of this action is to provide an increased level of safety for aircraft executing IFR operations between the terminal and the en route phase of flight at Afton Municipal Airport, Afton, WY.
