Optional Terminating Action 

(s) Installing and maintaining TDG 

Aerospace, Inc., universal fault interrupter 

(UFI), in accordance with Supplemental 

Type Certificate (STC) ST02076LA, issued 

October 26, 2007, terminates the actions 

required by paragraphs (g) through (k) of this 

AD; provided that, concurrently with 

installing a UFI on any airplane in an 

operator’s fleet, a placard is installed 

adjacent to the pilot’s primary flight display 

on all airplanes in the operator’s fleet not 

equipped with a UFI or an automatic shutoff 

system. The placard reads as follows, except 

as provided by paragraph (t) of this AD: 

‘‘AD 2002–24–51 fuel usage restrictions 

required.’’ 

Installation of a placard in accordance with 

paragraph (h) of this AD is acceptable for 

compliance with the placard installation 

required by this paragraph. Installing a UFI 

in accordance with STC ST02076LA on an 

airplane terminates the placard installation 

required by this paragraph for only that 

airplane. Installing UFIs in accordance with 

STC ST02076LA, or automatic shutoff 

systems in accordance with paragraph (g) of 

this AD, on all airplanes in an operator’s fleet 

terminates the placard installation required 

by this paragraph for all airplanes in an 

operator’s fleet. If operation according to the 

fuel usage restrictions of AD 2002–24–51 and 

AD 2001–08–24 is maintained until UFIs or 

automatic shutoff systems are installed on all 

airplanes in an operator’s fleet, the placard 

installation specified in this paragraph is not 

required.

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

Background 

Currently, there are no published, 

public-use, helicopter-specific IFR 

RNAV routes in the U.S. National 

Airspace System (NAS). Helicopter 

operator representatives have asked the 

FAA to develop such routes since 

helicopter flight performance 

characteristics differ significantly from 

high performance turboprop and 

turbojet aircraft. Additionally, 

published helicopter RNAV routes 

would increase the safety and efficiency 

of helicopter operations by affording 

pilots greater situational awareness and 

enabling more direct IFR routing. The 

proposed routes would also make 

available lower IFR altitudes, which 

could potentially help helicopters avoid 

icing conditions during winter 

operations. Further, TK routes would 

expand opportunities for helicopter 

operators to take advantage of 

developments in Performance Based 

Navigation technology. TK routes would 

be designated only within U.S. domestic 

airspace. 

Helicopter RNAV Route Identification 

and Charting 

The proposed helicopter RNAV routes 

would be identified by the prefix ‘‘TK’’ 

followed by a three digit number. The 

‘‘T’’ prefix is one of several International 

Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 

designators used to identify domestic 

RNAV routes. ‘‘K’’ is an ICAO designator 

used to indicate routes primarily for use 

by helicopters. The FAA has been 

allocated the number block 501 through 

650 for use in identifying U.S. TK 

routes. 

As with the existing T routes, TK 

routes would be depicted in blue on the 

appropriate IFR en route low altitude 

chart(s). Each route depiction would 

include the route number along with a 

Global Navigation Satellite System 

(GNSS) Minimum Enroute Altitude 

(MEA) to ensure obstacle clearance and 

communications reception. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 that would establish 

the first two low altitude IFR helicopter 

RNAV Routes. The proposed routes 

would provide more direct routing for 

IFR helicopters in the northeast corridor 

between the New York City and 

Washington, DC, metropolitan areas. 

The routes would serve New York City, 

Philadelphia, Baltimore and 

Washington, DC area airports/heliports. 

The proposed routes would begin and 

end at points air traffic control uses for 

routing helicopters. The new helicopter 

RNAV routes, as described below, 

would be designated TK–502 and TK– 

504, and would be depicted on the 

appropriate IFR Enroute Low Altitude 

charts. Only RNAV-equipped 

helicopters capable of filing flight plan 

equipment suffix ‘‘G’’ could file for the 

TK routes. The TK routes are being 

proposed to enhance safety and to 

facilitate the more flexible and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace for en 

route IFR helicopter operations. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) 

Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory 

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; 

February 26, 1979); and (3) does not 

warrant preparation of a regulatory 

evaluation as the anticipated impact is 

so minimal. Since this is a routine 

matter that will only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of the airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it modifies the 

route structure as required to preserve 

the safe and efficient flow of air traffic. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 

311a. This airspace action is not 

expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On September 3, 2010, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register an 

NPRM proposing to amend Title 14, 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 by removing VOR Federal 

Airway V–284 (75 FR 54058), Docket 

No. FAA–2010–0813. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal. Four 

comments were received. 

Discussion of Comments 

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots 

Association and three individuals 

submitted comments on the proposal. 

All commenters opposed the removal of 

V–284. The commenters stated that 

revocation of V–284 would reduce 

efficiency of operations for non-Global 

Positioning System equipped aircraft 

transiting the Delaware-New Jersey-New 

York City-Philadelphia areas. For such 

aircraft, the VOR Federal airway system 

remains the primary means of 

navigation for Instrument Flight Rules 

operations. The commenters also 

indicated that the elimination of this 

convenient and viable route could 

require pilots to deviate from their 

desired course, adding flight time and 

expense to their operations. 

FAA’s Conclusions 

Upon further consideration, we have 

determined that the removal of V–284 is 

not warranted at this time. Therefore, 

the NPRM is withdrawn.
