compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(g) Initial Inspections 

At the applicable time specified in 

paragraph (g)(1) through (g)(6) of this AD, do 

a detailed or eddy current inspection for 

cracking and damage (i.e., corrosion or 

cracking) of both pilot-side rudder pedal 

tubes having part number (P/N) 600–90204– 

3, in accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 

601R–27–162, including Appendix A, dated 

April 5, 2013. 

(1) For airplanes that have accumulated 

less than 20,000 total flight cycles as of the 

effective date of this AD: Do the inspection 

before the accumulation of 23,000 total flight 

cycles. 

(2) For airplanes that have accumulated 

20,000 total flight cycles or more, but less 

than 25,000 total flight cycles as of the 

effective date of this AD: Do the inspection 

within 3,000 flight cycles after the effective 

date of this AD, but not to exceed 26,300 total 

flight cycles. 

(3) For airplanes that have accumulated 

25,000 total flight cycles or more, but less 

than 30,000 total flight cycles as of the 

effective date of this AD: Do the inspection 

within 1,300 flight cycles after the effective 

date of this AD, but not to exceed 30,800 total 

flight cycles.

(h) Inspection Definition 

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. 

(i) Repetitive Inspections 

For any tube on which no cracking and no 

damage is found during any inspection 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD: At the 

applicable time specified in paragraph (i)(1) 

or (i)(2) of this AD, repeat the detailed or 

eddy current inspection for cracking of the 

pilot-side rudder pedal tubes, specified in 

paragraph (g) of this AD, until the 

terminating action specified in paragraph (k) 

of this AD has been accomplished. 

(1) If the most recent inspection was a 

detailed inspection: Repeat the inspection 

within 600 flight cycles thereafter. 

(2) If the most recent inspection was an 

eddy current inspection: Repeat the 

inspection within 1,000 flight cycles 

thereafter. 

(j) Corrective Actions 

(1) If any cracking is found around the aft 

tapered holes during any inspection required 

by paragraph (g) or (i) of this AD, before 

further flight, replace the affected rudder bar 

assemblies, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 601R–27–162, including 

Appendix A, dated April 5, 2013. 

(2) If any other damage (i.e., corrosion or 

cracking), other than that specified in 

paragraph (j)(1) of this AD, is found during 

any inspection required by paragraph (g) or 

(i) of this AD, before further flight, repair 

using a method approved by either the 

Manager, New York Aircraft Certification 

Office (ACO), ANE–170, FAA; or the 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) (or 

its delegated agent). 

(k) Optional Terminating Action 

Replacement of both pilot-side rudder bar 

assemblies, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 601R–27–162, including 

Appendix A, dated April 5, 2013, terminates 

the inspections required by paragraphs (g) 

and (i) of this AD. 

(l) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, New York Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), ANE–170, FAA, 

has the authority to approve AMOCs for this 

AD, if requested using the procedures found 

in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 

39.19, send your request to your principal 

inspector or local Flight Standards District 

Office, as appropriate. If sending information

Before using any approved AMOC, notify 

your appropriate principal inspector, or 

lacking a principal inspector, the manager of 

the local flight standards district office/

certificate holding district office. The AMOC 

approval letter must specifically reference 

this AD. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Gainesville Municipal Airport, 

Gainesville, TX. Airspace 

reconfiguration to within a 6.6-mile 

radius of the airport, with a segment 

extending from the 6.6-mile radius to 

10.4 miles north of the airport, is 

necessary due to the decommissioning 

of the Gainesville RBN and the 

cancellation of the NDB approach. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. Geographic 

coordinates would also be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and 

effective September 15, 2012, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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, 

when promulgated, 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 U.S. 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 I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

amend controlled airspace at 

Gainesville Municipal Airport, 

Gainesville, TX. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
