PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

2007–08–07 LATINOAMERICANA DE 

AVIACIO ́ N (LAVIA) S.A. (Type 

Certificate Data Sheets No. 2A8 and No. 

2A10 previously held by The New Piper 

Aircraft, Inc.): Amendment 39–15024; 

Docket No. FAA–2007–27109; 

Directorate Identifier 2007–CE–005–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective May 18, 2007. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Models PA–25, PA–

25–235, and PA–25–260, all serial numbers 

up to LA–260–06008, certificated in any 

category. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 55: Stabilizers. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) references 

Latinoamericana de Aviacio ́n S.A. Service 

Bulletin No. 25/53/03, dated May 10, 2006, 

which states: 

REAR AND FORWARD SUPPORTS OF 

BOTH HORIZONTAL STABILIZER 

MODIFICATION. It has been found on 

several of the affected airplanes some severe 

corrosion and cracks in both supports. The 

probable cause for those failures is the 

accumulation of steam or application 

products vapors. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions: 

(1) Upon accumulating 1,500 hours timein-service (TIS) or within the next 50 hours 

TIS after May 18, 2007 (the effective date of 

this AD), whichever occurs later, do the 

operations as specified in the paragraph 

‘‘ACTIONS,’’ subparagraph ‘‘INITIAL’’ of 

Latinoamericana de Aviacio ́n S.A. Service 

Bulletin No. 25/53/03, dated May 10, 2006. 

Repetitively inspect thereafter every 100 

hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs 

first, until the modification specified in 

paragraph ‘‘ACTIONS,’’ subparagraph 

‘‘DEFINITIVE’’ of Latinoamericana de 

Aviacio ́n S.A. Service Bulletin No. 25/53/03, 

dated May 10, 2006, is done. 

(2) If any evidence of cracks, signs of 

corrosion, or any other discrepancy is 

detected during any inspection required in 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further 

flight, disassemble both horizontal stabilizers 

and conduct a detailed inspection on the 

surface of both supports and take corrective 

action. Use paragraph ‘‘ACTIONS,’’

subparagraph ‘‘DEFINITIVE’’ of 

Latinoamericana de Aviacio ́n S.A. Service 

Bulletin No. 25/53/03, dated May 10, 2006. 

(3) After incorporating the modification 

specified in paragraph ‘‘ACTIONS,’’

subparagraph ‘‘DEFINITIVE’’ of 

Latinoamericana de Aviacio ́n S.A. Service 

Bulletin No. 25/53/03, dated May 10, 2006, 

no further action is required. 

(4) Upon accumulating 1,000 hours TIS 

after May 18, 2007 (the effective date of this 

AD), modify both horizontal stabilizers as 

specified in paragraph ‘‘ACTIONS,’’

subparagraph ‘‘DEFINITIVE’’ of 

Latinoamericana de Aviacio ́n S.A. Service 

Bulletin No. 25/53/03, dated May 10, 2006, 

unless already done. Incorporating this 

modification terminates the repetitive 

inspection requirement in paragraph (f)(1) of 

this AD. 

(5) As a terminating action to the 

inspection requirements of this AD, the 

modification to both horizontal stabilizers 

specified in paragraph ‘‘ACTIONS,’’

subparagraph ‘‘DEFINITIVE’’ of 

Latinoamericana de Aviacio ́n S.A. Service 

Bulletin No. 25/53/03, dated May 10, 2006, 

may be incorporated at any time after the 

effective date of this AD and before the time 

required in paragraph (f)(4) of this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Thursday, January 18, 2007, the 

FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) to revise Class E airspace 

upward form 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above 

the surface at Valdez Pioneer Field, AK 

(72 FR2213). The action was proposed 

in order to create Class E airspace 

sufficient in size to contain aircraft 

while executing two new SIAPs for the 

Valdez Pioneer Field Airport. The 

approaches are (1) Localizer Type 

Directional Aid (LDA)/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (DME)–G, 

Original and (2) LDA–H, Original. The 

LDA–G is a Special SIAP and will not 

be published in the U.S. Terminal 

Procedures (Alaska) publication. Class E 

controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the 

surface in the Valdez, AK area is revised 

by this action. In the Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, the airport name was not 

fully articulated. The full and proper 

designation (Valdez Pioneer Field) is 

included in this rule. The location of the 

localizer has also been updated to 

reflect accurate position. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No public comments have been 

received; thus the rule is adopted as 

proposed. 

The area will be depicted on 

aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 

The coordinates for this airspace docket 

are based on North American Datum 83. 

The Class E airspace areas designated as 

700/1,200 ft. transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated September 

1, 2006, and effective September 15, 

2006, 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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

revises Class E airspace at the Valdez 

Pioneer Field Airport, Alaska. This 

Class E airspace is revised to 

accommodate aircraft executing SIAPs, 

and will be depicted on aeronautical 

charts for pilot reference. The intended 

effect of this rule is to provide adequate 

controlled airspace for IFR operations at 

the Valdez Pioneer Field Airport, 

Valdez, Alaska. 

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. It, therefore—(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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States 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 1, Section 

40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace. 

Under that section, the FAA is charged 

with prescribing regulations to ensure 

the safe and efficient use of the 

navigable airspace. This regulation is 

within the scope of that authority 

because it creates Class E airspace 

sufficient in size to contain aircraft 

executing instrument procedures for the 

Valdez Pioneer Field Airport and 

represents the FAA’s continuing effort 

to safely and efficiently use the 

navigable airspace.
