equivalent material. Metal-removing

processes must not be used for visible

corrosion cleaning. In addition, clean all

surfaces to be inspected utilizing a cleaner,

such as Magnaflux Spot Check Cleaner/

Remover SKC–NF or equivalent, on the ID of

the crankshaft bore. Let the cleaner/remover

dry for 5 minutes minimum. Wipe clean with

a lint-free cloth.

(2) Penetrant Application—Spray

penetrant, such as ZYGLO ZL–22A

Magnaflux Corp. or equivalent Type 1 with

a penetrant sensitivity Level 3 or higher, on

the ID bore.

(3) Penetrant Dwell—Allow a minimum of

10 minutes dwell. For dwell times exceeding

60 minutes the penetrant shall be reapplied

to prevent drying.

(4) Penetrant Removal—Remove all bulk

surface penetrant by wiping with a clean, dry

lint-free cloth. Make a single wipe and then

fold the cloth to provide a clean surface for

succeeding wipes.

(i) Solvent Wipe—After the bulk of the

surface penetrant has been removed, lightly

moisten a fresh lint-free cloth with cleaner/

remover and again wipe the surface. The

cloth must not be saturated and the

inspection surface must not be flooded with

solvent. Excessive solvent will wash

penetrant from defects.

(ii) During wiping, the inspection surface

shall be illuminated with black light. Repeat

the solvent wipe as necessary until no

residual trace of penetrant remains on the

inspection surface.

(5) Nonaqueous Developer (solvent

suspended)—Following the cleaner/remover

wipe apply nonaqueous developer by

spraying a developer, such as Magnaflux

Spot Check Developer SKD–NF or Form DNonaqueous equivalent, on the ID bore.

Apply a thin uniform layer to the bore

surface. The optimum coating thickness is

indicated by the visibility of the part surface.

If the metallic luster cannot be seen the

developer is too thick.

(6) Dwell—Developer dwell is required to

allow the developer time to draw entrapped

penetrant from any small defects. The

minimum development time shall be 10

minutes. The maximum dwell time for

nonaqueous developer shall be 60 minutes.

(7) Inspection shall be performed within

the allotted dwell time. Components that are

not inspected within the allotted dwell time

must be reprocessed.

(i) Examine crankshaft bore in a darkened

enclosure under ultraviolet (black) light.

Allow 1 minute for eyes to adapt to darkened

environment prior to inspecting crankshaft

bore. Use of photochromic lenses or

permanent darkened lenses is prohibited.

(ii) During inspection make sure that the

black light intensity is a minimum of 1200

microwatts/cm2 at the bore surface. This can

be accomplished by positioning the black

light as close as necessary to the bore to

achieve 1200 microwatts/cm2. White light

background shall not exceed 20 1×/m2 (2

foot-candles). A photographic light meter

may be used to determine the white light

background reading.

(iii) Crankshaft bores having no crack

indications are acceptable.

(iv) Magnification (10X maximum) and/or

white light may be used to determine

discontinuity type. Indications, on parts

exhibiting fluorescent background which

interferes with evaluation of questionable

indications, shall be evaluated as follows:

(A) Lightly wipe the area once with a soft

brush or cotton swab applicator dampened

with ethyl alcohol. Do not permit alcohol to

flood the surface.

(B) After the alcohol evaporates from the

surface, re-inspect. If an indication reappears,

evaluate it immediately. If the indication

does not reappear, reapply developer. The

redevelopment time shall equal the original

development time. Thereafter, re-inspect.

(8) After inspection, clean residual

penetrants and developers from the

crankshaft bore. Remove the lint-free cloth

from the crankshaft bore prior to installing

front crankshaft plug. Failure to do so may

result in oil restriction within the engine and

in turn cause engine failure. Reinstall the

front crankshaft plug in accordance with

Textron Lycoming MSB No. 505A, dated

October 18, 1994. Failure to install the plug

properly may result in engine oil loss and in

turn cause engine failure.

(f) After accomplishing the initial visual

inspection and, if necessary, the FPI,

required by this AD, complete Appendix 1 of

this AD and submit to the Manager, New

York Aircraft Certification Office, FAA,

Engine and Propeller Directorate, 10 Fifth St.,

Valley Stream, NY 11581; fax (516) 568–

2716. Reporting requirements have been

Budget and assigned OMB control number

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

establish Class E airspace extending

upward from 700 feet above the surface

(AGL) at Johnstown, NY. A GPS RWY

10 SIAP and a GPS RWY 28 SIAP has

been developed for Fulton County

Airport. Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface (AGL) is needed to

accommodate these SIAPs and for IFR

operations at the airport. The area

would be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts. Class E airspace

designations for airspace extending

upward from 700 feet above the surface

are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9D, dated September 4,

1996, and effective September 16, 1996,

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.

Therefore, this proposed 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 would only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as
