GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM); reopening of comment period. The comment period for the NPRM published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2014 (79 FR 6106), is reopened. We must receive comments on this SNPRM by July 6, 2017. 14 CFR Part 39 Summary We are revising an earlier notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to supersede an Airworthiness Directive (AD) for all Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, and -100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. This action revises the NPRM by adding a requirement to revise the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new airworthiness limitations and adding certain airplanes to the applicability. We are proposing this airworthiness directive (AD) to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions impose an additional burden over those proposed in the NPRM, we are reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these proposed changes.

We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
82 FR 23163 - Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 6, 2017. 14 CFR Part 39 Summary We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 and FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of ice accretion on the airplane wing due to the failure of certain anti-ice piccolo tubes in the wing outboard slats. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of each anti-ice piccolo tube and corrective action if necessary. This proposed AD also provides an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
2017-05-19; vol. 82 # 96 - Friday, May 19, 2017 82 FR 22904 - Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 3, 2017. 14 CFR Part 39 Summary We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A310-203, -221, -222, -304, -322, -324, and -325 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) indicating that the wing bottom skin at the main landing gear (MLG) reinforcing plate is subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This proposed AD would require a modification of the wing bottom skin at the MLG reinforcing plate. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
82 FR 22904 - Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM); reopening of comment period. The comment period for the NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 11, 2016 (81 FR 29198), is reopened. We must receive comments on this SNPRM by July 3, 2017. 14 CFR Part 39 Summary We are revising an earlier notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-05-02, which applies to all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233, and A321 series airplanes. This action revises the NPRM by proposing to require revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new or revised structural inspection requirements and adding airplanes to the applicability. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions impose an additional burden over that proposed in the NPRM, we are reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these proposed changes.
82 FR 22904 - Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM); reopening of comment period. The comment period for the NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2016 (81 FR 40201), is reopened. We must receive comments on this SNPRM by July 3, 2017. 14 CFR Part 39 Summary We are revising an earlier notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for certain Airbus Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, and -300 series airplanes; and Model A340-500 and -600 series airplanes. This action revises the NPRM by including new inspection locations for certain airplanes, and removing incorrect part numbers. We are proposing this airworthiness directive (AD) to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions impose an additional burden over those proposed in the NPRM, we are reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these proposed changes.
82 FR 22904 - Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 3, 2017. 14 CFR Part 39 Summary We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-08-01, for all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2014-08-01 currently requires an inspection for part numbers of the interconnecting struts and, for affected interconnecting struts, identification of the part and serial numbers of the associated target and proximity sensors and replacement or re-identification of the flap interconnecting strut if necessary. Since we issued AD 2014-08-01, we have determined that certain airplanes must be inspected to verify the interconnecting strut part number. This proposed AD would add airplanes to the applicability. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
82 FR 22913 - Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

This proposed AD was prompted by a report indicating that wear of the bearing plate slider bushings could cause disconnection of certain elevator hinges, which could excite the horizontal stabilizer under certain in-flight speed/altitude conditions and lead to degradation of the structure. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections and checks of certain elevator hinges and related components, repetitive replacements and tests of the bearing plate, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
82 FR 22766 - Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Canadair Limited) Airplanes
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

This proposed AD was prompted by a loss of engine power in flight caused by oil leaking from the gearbox radial shaft sealing ring that contaminated the clutch. This proposed AD would require replacement of the clutch with a dual mass flywheel. We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
82 FR 21146 - Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM); reopening of comment period. We must receive comments on this SNPRM by June 19, 2017. 14 CFR Part 39 Summary We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD) that proposed to supersede AD 2011-01-15, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes. AD 2011-01-15 requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the fuselage skin of the crown skin panel along the chem-milled step at certain stringers, and repair, if necessary. This action revises the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) by reducing the compliance time for certain inspections. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions impose an additional burden over that proposed in the NPRM, we are reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these proposed changes.
