Airworthiness Directives; Dornier

Luftfahrt GmbH Models 228–100, 228–

101, 228–200, and 228–201 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of

effective date.

SUMMARY: This action confirms the

effective date of Airworthiness Directive

(AD) 98–06–13 which applies to Models

228–100, 228–101, 228–200, and 228–

201 airplanes equipped with certain

main landing gear (MLG). AD 98–06–13

requires replacing the MLG axle

assembly with an MLG axle assembly of

improved design. This AD was the

result of mandatory continuing

airworthiness information (MCAI)

issued by the airworthiness authority for

Germany. The actions specified in this

AD are intended to prevent main

landing gear failure, which, if not

corrected, could result in loss of control

of the airplane during landing

operations.

DATES: Effective June 15, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

published this direct final rule with

request for comments in the Federal

Register on March 16, 1998 (63 FR

12605). The FAA uses the direct final

rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial rule where the FAA

anticipates that there will be no adverse

public comment. This direct final rule

advised the public that no adverse

comments were anticipated, and that

unless a written adverse comment, or a

written notice of intent to submit such

an adverse comment, were received

within the comment period, the

regulation would become effective on

June 15, 1998. No adverse comments

were received, and thus this notice

confirms that this final rule will become

effective on that date.

Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on April

17, 1998.

Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate,

Aircraft Certification Service.

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98–ACE–6]

Amendment to Class D and Class E

Airspace; St. Joseph, MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This amendment revises the

Class D and Class E airspace areas at

Rosecrans Memorial Airport, St. Joseph,

MO. A review of the Class E airspace for

Rosecrans Memorial Airport indicates it

does not comply with the criteria for

700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL)

airspace required for diverse departures

as specified in FAA Order 7400.2D. The

Class E airspace area has been enlarged

to conform to the criteria of FAA Order

7400.2D. A revision to the Airport

Reference Point (ARP) coordinates is

included in this document. The

intended effect of this rule is to revise

the ARP coordinates, comply with the

criteria of FAA Order 7400.2D, and

provide additional controlled Class E

airspace for aircraft operating under

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, August

13, 1998.

Comment date: Comments for

inclusion in the Rules Docket must be

received on or before June 15, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding

the rule in triplicate to: Manager,

Airspace Branch, Air Traffic Division,

ACE–520, Federal Aviation

Administration, Docket Number 98–

ACE–6, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas

City, MO 64106.

The official docket may be examined

in the Office of the Regional Counsel for

the Central Region at the same address

between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, except Federal

holidays.

An informal docket may also be

examined during normal business hours

in the Air Traffic Division at the same

address listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division,

Airspace Branch, ACE–520C, Federal

Aviation Administration, 601 East 12th

Street, Kansas City, MO 64106;

telephone: (816) 426–3408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to 14 CFR 71 revises the

Class D and Class E airspace at St.

Joseph, MO. A review of the Class E

airspace for Rosecrans Memorial

Airport, indicates it does not meet the

criteria for 700 feet AGL airspace

required for diverse departures as

specified in FAA Order 7400.2D. The

Class E airspace area has been enlarged

to conform to the criteria in FAA Order

7400.2D. The criteria in FAA Order

7400.2D for an aircraft to reach 1200 feet

AGL, is based on a standard climb

gradient of 200 feet per mile, plus the

distance from the ARP to the end of the

outermost runway. Any fractional part

of a mile is converted to the next higher

tenth of a mile. The Class D and Class

E areas are amended to indicate the new

ARP coordinates. The amendment at

Rosecrans Memorial Airport will meet

the criteria of FAA Order 7400.2D,

revise the ARP coordinates, provide

additional controlled airspace at the

above 700 feet AGL, and thereby

facilitate separation of aircraft operating

under Instrument Flight Rules. The

areas will be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts. Class D airspace

areas are published in paragraph 5000,

Class E airspace areas designated as an

extension to a Class D or Class E surface

area are published in paragraph 6004,

and Class E 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 D and Class E airspace

designation listed in this document will

be published subsequently in the Order.

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

The FAA anticipates that this

regulation will not result in adverse or

negative comment and, therefore, is

issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous

actions of this nature have not been

controversial and have not resulted in

adverse comments or objections. The

amendment will enhance safety for all
