Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from reports of 23 

confirmed failures of similar crankshafts in 

Lycoming Engines 360 and 540 series 

reciprocating engines. We are issuing this AD 

to prevent failure of the crankshaft, which 

will result in total engine power loss, inflight engine failure, and possible loss of the 

aircraft. 

Compliance 

(e) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Engines for Which No Action Is Required 

(f) If your engine meets any of the 

following conditions, and you have not had 

the crankshaft replaced since meeting the 

condition, no further action is required: 

(1) Engines that are in compliance with 

Lycoming MSB No. 552 (AD 2002–19–03) or 

MSB No. 553 (AD 2002–19–03 Table 3 or 

Table 5); or 

(2) Engines that are in compliance with 

Lycoming MSB No. 566 AD (2005–19–11); or 

(3) Engines that are in compliance with 

Lycoming Supplement No. 1 to MSB No. 566 

(AD 2006–06–16); or 

(4) Engines that are in compliance with the 

original issue of Lycoming MSB No. 569, or 

MSB No. 569A. 

(5) For engines identified in paragraphs (f), 

(g), (h), or (i) of this AD, owners or operators 

may make an entry in the AD status log 

required by 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v) that this 

AD required no action for compliance. 

(g) If Lycoming Engines manufactured new, 

rebuilt, overhauled, or repaired your engine, 

or replaced the crankshaft in your engine 

before March 1, 1997, and you have not had 

the crankshaft replaced, no further action is 

required. 

(h) If Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, or Table 

4 of Lycoming MSB No. 569A, dated April 

11, 2006, lists your engine serial number 

(SN), and Table 5 of MSB No. 569A, dated 

April 11, 2006, does not list your crankshaft 

SN, no further action is required. 

(i) For engine model TIO–540–U2A, SN L–

4641–61A, no action is required. 

Engines for Which Action Is Required 

(j) If Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, or Table 4

specified in Lycoming Engines Service 

Instruction No. 1009AS, dated May 25, 2006; 

or 

(2) The next separation of the crankcase; or 

(3) No later than 12 years from the time the 

crankshaft first entered service or was last 

overhauled, whichever is later. 

(k) If Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, or Table 

4 of Lycoming MSB No. 569A, dated April 

11, 2006, does not list your engine SN, and 

Table 5 of MSB No. 569A does list your

rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial rule where the FAA 

believes that there will be no adverse 

public comment. This direct final rule 

advised the public that no adverse

unless a written adverse comment, or a 

written notice of intent to submit such 

an adverse comment, were received 

within the comment period, the

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace at Pierre, SD. Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures have 

been developed for Pierre Regional 

Airport, Pierre, SD. Controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the earth is needed 

to contain aircraft executing these 

approaches.This action increases the 

area of the existing controlled airspace 

for Pierre, SD. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 18,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Wednesday, June 28, 2006, the 

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 

to modify Class E airspace at Pierre, SD 

(71 FR 36724). The proposal was to 

modify controlled airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface of the earth to contain 

Instrument Flight Rules operations in 

controlled airspace during portions of 

the terminal operation and while 

transiting between the enroute and 

terminal environments. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments objecting to the proposal 

were received. Class E airspace 

designations for airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the earth are 

published in paragraph 6005, and 

airspace areas extending upward from 

the surface in paragraph 6002, of FAA 

Order 7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, 

and effective September 15, 2006, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

modifies Class E airspace at Pierre, SD, 

to accommodate aircraft executing 

instrument flight procedures into and 

out of Pierre Regional Airport. The area 

will be depicted on appropriate 

aeronautical charts. 

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 will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
