Adoption of the Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration amends part 39 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 39) as follows:

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS

DIRECTIVES

1. The authority citation for part 39

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 USC 106(g), 40113, 44701.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding a new airworthiness directive

(AD) to read as follows:

97–22–08 Pilatus Aircraft, Ltd.:

Amendment 39–10180; Docket No. 97–

CE–18–AD.

Applicability: The following model and

serial number airplanes, certificated in any

category:

—Model Pilatus Models PC–6/B1–H2, PC–6/

B2–H2, PC–6/B2–H4 airplanes, all serial

numbers, that are equipped with a Pratt

and Whitney PT6A turboprop engine; and

—Model Pilatus PC–12 airplanes, all serial

numbers.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (d) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required within the next 30

days after the effective date of this AD, unless

already accomplished.

To prevent loss of airplane control or

engine overspeed with consequent loss of

engine power caused by the power levers

being positioned below the flight idle stop

while the airplane is in flight, accomplish the

following:

(a) Amend the Limitations Section of the

airplane flight manual (AFM) or pilot’s

operating handbook (POH) by inserting the

following revisions, as applicable:

(1) Temporary Revision To Pilatus/PC–6

B1 and B2 Series Airplanes Flight Manuals;

Section 1; Certificate Limitations; Issued:

November 29, 1996; or

(2) Temporary Revision To PC–12 Pilot’s

Operating Handbook; Pilatus Report No.

01973–001, dated November 20, 1996.

(b) Amending the AFM or POH, as required

by this AD, may be performed by the owner/

operator holding at least a private pilot

certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of

the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

43.7), and must be entered into the aircraft

records showing compliance with this AD in

accordance with section 43.11 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.11).

(c) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

(d) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an equivalent level of safety may be

approved by the Manager, Small Airplane

Directorate, FAA, 1201 Walnut, suite 900,

Kansas City, Missouri 64106. The request

shall be forwarded through an appropriate

FAA Maintenance Inspector, who may add

comments and then send it to the Manager,

Small Airplane Directorate.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Small Airplane

Directorate.

(e) The AFM or POH revisions referenced

in this AD may be obtained from Pilatus

Aircraft Ltd., CH–6370 Stans, Switzerland.

Information related to this AD may be

examined at the FAA, Central Region, Office

of the Regional Counsel, Room 1558, 601 E.

12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106.

(f) This amendment (39–10180) becomes

effective on December 5, 1997.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E

airspace at Delaware, OH. A Global

Positioning System (GPS) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Runway 10 and a GPS SIAP to

Runway 28 have been developed for

Delaware Municipal Airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700 to

1200 feet above ground level (AGL) is

needed to contain aircraft executing the

approaches. This action increases the

radius of the existing controlled

airspace for the airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Friday, July 25, 1997, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) to modify Class E airspace for

Delaware, OH (62 FR 39982). The

proposal was to add controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 to 1200 feet

AGL to contain Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) 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 of FAA

Order 7400.9E dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

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 part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) modifies Class E airspace at

Delaware, OH, to accommodate aircraft

executing the GPS Runway 10 SIAP and

the GPS Runway 28 SIAP at Delaware

Municipal Airport by increasing the

radius of the existing controlled

airspace for the airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700 to

1200 feet AGL is needed to contain

aircraft executing the approaches. The

area will be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts.
56066 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 209 / Wednesday, October 29, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

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.
