SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion of Comments

On March 31, 2000, the FAA issued

a notice of the availability of proposed

Advisory Circular (AC) 25.905–X,

‘‘Minimizing the Hazards from Propeller

Blade and Hub Failures.’’ That notice

was published in the Federal Register

on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19423), and

requested public comment on the

proposed AC document. Only one

commenter filed comments to the

proposed AC.

The commenter points out that, in the

discussion of the ‘‘Purpose’’ of the AC,

the FAA stated that the AC does not

address hazards associated with

unbalance created by blade release or

similar failures. However, unbalance

vibratory forces could be significant and

can interfere with the required

corrective actions. The commenter asks

why the FAA did not cover this issue

in the AC, and if we will address it in

another AC.

We agree that imbalance is a critical

issue following a propeller or hub

failure. Structural issues and the

flightcrew’s ability to cope with the

failure are of concern. We are

considering separate action to address

these issues. We have asked the

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee (ARAC) to review these

issues and provide recommendations for

further action.

Issued in Renton, Washington, on October

27, 2000.

John J. Hickey,

Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate,

Aircraft Certification Service.
