Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 43 / Tuesday, March 6, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 9845 

Effective Date 

(a) This AD becomes effective April 10, 

2007. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all Fokker Model 

F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes, 

certificated in any category. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from a report of a rod 

bracket of the main landing gear (MLG) door 

detaching during flight. We are issuing this 

AD to detect and correct cracks in the rod 

bracket attachment bolts, which could result 

in the rod brackets detaching from the MLG 

door and blocking the proper functioning of 

the MLG. 

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. 

Inspections 

(f) Within 9 months after the effective date 

of this AD, inspect the carbon-fiber 

reinforced plastic (CFRP) MLG doors to 

determine if any MLG door having a part 

number (P/N) D13312–401 through –410 

inclusive is installed. A review of airplane 

maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of 

this inspection if the part number of the 

CFRP MLG doors can be conclusively 

determined from that review. If the CFRP 

MLG doors have any part number other than 

P/N D13312–401 through –410 inclusive 

installed, no further action is required by this 

AD. 

(g) If any CFRP MLG door having any 

P/N D13312–401 through –410 inclusive is 

found during the inspection required by 

paragraph (f) of this AD: Within 9 months 

after the effective date of this AD, do a 

detailed inspection of the MLG outboard 

door for cracks, play, and loose sealant/bolts/ 

nuts as specified in Part 1 of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin SBF100–52–080, dated 

December 12, 2005, including Fokker Manual 

Change Notification—Maintenance 

Documentation MCNM–F100–103, dated 

November 15, 2005, and do all applicable 

related investigative and corrective actions, 

by doing all the applicable actions specified 

in Part 1 of the Accomplishment Instructions 

of the service bulletin, except as provided by 

paragraphs (i), (j), and (k) of this AD. Do all 

applicable related investigative and 

corrective actions before further flight. 

Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a 

detailed inspection is: ‘‘An intensive 

examination of a specific item, installation, 

or assembly to detect damage, failure, or 

irregularity. Available lighting is normally 

supplemented with a direct source of good 

lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. 

Inspection aids such as mirror, magnifying 

lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface 

cleaning and elaborate procedures may be 

required.’’

Modification 

(h) If any CFRP MLG door having any 

P/N D13312–401 through –410 inclusive is 

found during the inspection required by 

paragraph (f) of this AD: Within 12 months 

after the effective date of this AD, modify the 

MLG outboard door operating rod bracket 

attachment and do all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions by doing 

all the applicable actions specified in Part 2

International Branch, ANM–116, Transport 

Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the European 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) (or its 

delegated agent). 

(j) If any loose sealant or any delamination 

is found during any inspection required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD, before further flight, 

do the corrective action specified in 

paragraph C.(3) of Part 1 of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin SBF100–52–080, dated 

December 12, 2005, including Fokker Manual 

Change Notification—Maintenance 

Documentation MCNM–F100–103, dated 

November 15, 2005.

14 CFR Part 91 

Removal of an Obsolete Reference in 

Special Federal Aviation Regulation 

50–2—Special Flight Rules in the 

Vicinity of Grand Canyon National 

Park, AZ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This amendment removes an 

obsolete reference in Special Federal 

Aviation Regulation 50–2, Special Flight 

Rules in the Vicinity of Grand Canyon 

National Park, AZ. In section 9 of that 

SFAR, there is a ‘‘Note’’ that refers to an 

informational map of the Special Flight 

Rules Area (SFRA). This map is no 

longer available; however, there is an 

illustrational map of the SFRA in Part 

93, Subpart U. Therefore, this technical 

amendment deletes the reference in 

SFAR 50–2, which is no longer needed 

and is confusing to the public. 

DATES: Effective Dates: Effective on 

March 6, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In January 

2001(66 FR 1002) the FAA found it 

necessary to delay the implementation 

of the routes in the east end of the 

Canyon. Because this was initially 

difficult to explain in the regulations, 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
9846 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 43 / Tuesday, March 6, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

the FAA made available an 

informational map to assist the public in 

understanding the boundaries of the 

Grand Canyon’s Special Flight Rules 

Area, or SFRA. The note says that the 

map is available on the Office of 

Rulemaking’s website or by contacting 

that office. 

Because an illustrational map of the 

SFRA is contained in Part 93, Subpart 

U, the FAA removes the reference to the 

map in SFAR 50–2. The illustrational 

map remains in Part 93 to give 

interested parties a general picture of 

the Grand Canyon SFRA.

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30540; Amdt. No. 3209] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures; Miscellaneous 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment amends 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAPs) for operations at 

certain airports. These regulatory 

actions are needed because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, addition of 

new obstacles, or changes in air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective March 6, 

2007. The compliance date for each 

SIAP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of March 6, 

2007. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows: 

For Examination—

1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA 

Headquarters Building, 800 

Independence Ave., SW., Washington, 

DC 20591;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) 

amends Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete 

regulatory description of each SIAP is 

contained in the appropriate FAA Form 

8260, as modified by the National Flight 

Data Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to 

Airmen (P–NOTAM), which is 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations. Materials 

incorporated by reference are available 

for examination or purchase as stated 

above. 

The large number of SIAPs, their 

complex nature, and the need for a 

special format make their verbatim 

publication in the Federal Register 

expensive and impractical. Further, 

airmen do not use the regulatory text of 

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic 

depiction on charts printed by 

publishers of aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP contained in FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. The 

provisions of this amendment state the 

affected CFR sections, with the types 

and effective dates of the SIAPs. This 

amendment also identifies the airport, 

its location, the procedure identification 

and the amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P–

NOTAM, and contained in this
