2012-10-05; vol. 77 # 194 - Friday, October 5, 2012 77 FR 60883 - Special Conditions: Eurocopter France (ECF) Model EC225LP Helicopter, Installation of a Search and Rescue (SAR) Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS)
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Amended final special conditions. Effective Date: The effective date of these special conditions is November 5, 2012. 14 CFR Part 29 Summary These special conditions amend and supersede those final special conditions No. 29-022-SC, for the ECF model EC225LP helicopter, which were published in the Federal Register on November 6, 2008 (73 FR 65968). A notice proposing this amendment was published December 20, 2010 (75 FR 79312). This amendment modifies the original final special conditions to address comments received and to clarify the intent of some of the requirements. This helicopter, as modified by ECF, will have novel or unusual design features associated with installing an optional SAR AFCS. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for these design features. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
2012-08-22; vol. 77 # 163 - Wednesday, August 22, 2012 77 FR 50576 - Fatigue Tolerance Evaluation of Metallic Structures; OMB Approval of Information Collection
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Final rule; OMB approval of information collection. The rule published on December 2, 2011, and became effective on January 31, 2012. However, at the time of publication, the new information collection requirements imposed by 14 CFR 29.571, lacked OMB approval. This document announces receipt of OMB's June 28, 2012 approval. 14 CFR Part 29 Summary This document notifies the public of the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB's) approval of the information collection requirement contained in the FAA's final rule, “Fatigue Tolerance Evaluation of Metallic Structures,” which was published on December 2, 2011.
77 FR 50576 - Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation of Composite Rotorcraft Structures; OMB Approval of Information Collection
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Final rule; OMB approval of information collection. The rule published on December 1, 2011, and became effective on January 30, 2012. However, at the time of publication, the new information collection requirements imposed by 14 CFR 27.573 and 29.573 lacked OMB approval. This document announces receipt of OMB's June 28, 2012 approval. 14 CFR Parts 27 and 29 Summary This document notifies the public of the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB's) approval of the information collection requirement contained in the FAA's final rule, “Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation of Composite Rotorcraft Structures,” which was published on December 1, 2011.
2012-07-27; vol. 77 # 145 - Friday, July 27, 2012 77 FR 44110 - Special Conditions: Agusta S.p.A. Model AW139 and AB139 Helicopter, Installation of a Search and Rescue (SAR) Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS)
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Final special conditions; request for comments. The effective date of these special conditions is July 18, 2012. We must receive your comments by September 25, 2012. 14 CFR Part 29 Summary These special conditions are issued for the Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model AW139 and AB139 helicopters. These model helicopters, as modified by Agusta, will have novel or unusual design features associated with installing an optional SAR AFCS. The applicable airworthiness standards do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards the Administrator considers necessary to show a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
2012-02-01; vol. 77 # 21 - Wednesday, February 1, 2012 77 FR 4890 - Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation for Composite Rotorcraft Structures, and Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation for Metallic Structures; Correction
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Final rule; correction. This correction is effective February 1, 2012. The “Composite Rotorcraft Structures” final rule becomes effective January 30, 2012. The “Metallic Structures” final rule becomes effective January 31, 2012. 14 CFR Parts 27 and 29 Summary The FAA is correcting two final rules, “Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation for Composite Rotorcraft Structures” (76 FR 74655), published December 1, 2011, and “Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation for Metallic Structures” (76 FR 75435), published December 2, 2011. In the “Composite Rotorcraft Structures” rule, the FAA amended its regulations to require evaluation of fatigue and residual static strength of composite rotorcraft structures using a damage tolerance evaluation, or a fatigue evaluation if the applicant establishes that a damage tolerance evaluation is impractical. In the “Metallic Structures” rule, the FAA amended its regulations to address advances in structural fatigue substantiation technology for metallic structures to provide an increased level of safety by avoiding or reducing the likelihood of the catastrophic fatigue failure of a metallic structure. This document corrects errors in the preamble of those two documents by adding a statement advising that affected parties do not need to comply with the information collection requirements until the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approves the collections.
