Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 21 / Tuesday, February 1, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 5469 

Industries PC–6 airplanes, Fairchild Heli 

Porter PC–6 airplanes, or Fairchild-Hiller 

Corporation PC–6 airplanes. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 5: Time Limits. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

The current Aircraft Maintenance Manual 

(AMM) of PC–6 B2–H2 and B2–H4 models 

does not include a Chapter 04 in the 

Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS). For 

PC–6 models other than B2–H2 and B2–H4, 

no ALS at all is included in the AMM. 

With the latest Revision 12 of the AMM, 

a new Chapter 04 has been introduced in the 

AMM for PC–6 B2–H2 and B2–H4 models. 

For PC–6 models other than B2–H2 and 

B2–H4, a new ALS document has been 

implemented as well. 

These documents include the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information 

(MCAI) which are maintenance requirements 

and/or airworthiness limitations developed 

by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd and approved by 

EASA. Failure to comply with these MCAI 

constitutes an unsafe condition. 

For the reasons described above, this MCAI 

requires the implementation and the 

compliance with these new maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations documents. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions: 

(1) For all affected Models PC–6/B2–H2 

and PC–6/B2–H4; Before further flight after 

March 8, 2011 (the effective date of this AD), 

incorporate the maintenance requirements as 

specified in Pilatus PC–6 AMM Chapter 04– 

00–00, Revision 12, Document Number 

01975, dated May 14, 2010, into your FAAaccepted maintenance program. 

(2) For all affected PC–6 models other than 

the Models PC–6/B2–H2 and PC–6/B2–H4; 

Before further flight after March 8, 2011 (the 

effective date of this AD), incorporate the 

maintenance requirements as specified in 

Pilatus PC–6 AMM ALS Document Number 

02334, Revision 1, dated May 14, 2010, into 

your FAA-accepted maintenance program. 

Note 2: The AMM revisions in this AD 

action include the repetitive inspections for 

the wing strut fittings and the spherical 

bearings currently included in AD 2009–18– 

03. AD 2009–18–03 (R1), Amendment 39– 

16570 has been revised to remove these 

repetitive inspections. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 3: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: No 

differences. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(g) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to 

ATTN: Doug Rudolph, Aerospace Engineer, 

FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, 

Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; 

telephone: (816) 329–4059; fax: (816) 329– 

4090. Before using any approved AMOC on 

any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector 

(PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District 

Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local 

FSDO. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any 

requirement in this AD to obtain corrective 

actions from a manufacturer or other source, 

use these actions if they are FAA-approved. 

Corrective actions are considered FAAapproved if they are approved by the State 

of Design Authority (or their delegated 

agent). You are required to assure the product 

is airworthy before it is returned to service. 

(3) Reporting Requirements: For any 

reporting requirement in this AD, a federal 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

person is not required to respond to, nor 

shall a person be subject to a penalty for 

failure to comply with a collection of 

information subject to the requirements of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that 

collection of information displays a current 

valid OMB Control Number. The OMB 

Control Number for this information 

collection is 2120–0056. Public reporting for 

this collection of information is estimated to 

be approximately 5 minutes per response, 

including the time for reviewing instructions, 

completing and reviewing the collection of 

information. All responses to this collection 

of information are mandatory. Comments 

concerning the accuracy of this burden and 

suggestions for reducing the burden should 

be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On November 8, 2010, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace for Greensburg, IN, 

creating additional controlled airspace 

at Decatur County Memorial Hospital 

Heliport (75 FR 68551) Docket No. 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with RULES_PART 1
5470 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 21 / Tuesday, February 1, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

FAA–2010–1028. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. Class E 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9U 

dated August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to accommodate the new COPTER 

RNAV (POINT–IN–SPACE) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Decatur County Memorial Hospital 

Heliport, Greensburg, IN. This action is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

heliport. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 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 amends controlled 

airspace at Decatur County Memorial 

Hospital Heliport, Greensburg, IN.
