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 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding a new airworthiness directive

(AD) to read as follows:

98–15–19 Aeromot-Industria Mecanico

Metalurgica Ltda.: Amendment 39–

10670; Docket No. 98–CE–27–AD.

Applicability: Model AMT–200 powered

gliders, serial numbers 200.046 through

200.066, certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each powered

glider 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 powered gliders 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 50

hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective

date of this AD, unless already accomplished.

To prevent inefficiency of the engine

lubricating system because of ineffective

flexible hoses, which could result in an inflight engine shutdown with consequent loss

of powered glider controllability, accomplish

the following:

(a) For powered gliders with a serial

number in the range of 200.046 through

200.058: Replace any engine oil system hose,

part number 10702, with a hose with a larger

internal diameter, part number 10706.

Accomplish the replacement in accordance

with Part I of the Accomplishment

Instructions of Aeromot Service Bulletin B.S.

No. 200–79–036, Issue Date: January 30,

1997.

(b) For powered gliders with a serial

number in the range of 200.059 through

200.066: Replace any engine oil system hose,

part number 10702, 10703, or 10704, with a

hose with a larger diameter, part number

10706, 10707, or 10708. Accomplish the

replacement in accordance with Part II of the

Accomplishment Instructions of Aeromot

Service Bulletin B.S. No. 200–79–036, Issue

Date: January 30, 1997.

(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 powered

glider 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, Atlanta Aircraft

Certification Office (ACO), One Crown

Center, 1895 Phoenix Blvd., suite 450,

Atlanta, Georgia 30349. The request shall be

forwarded through an appropriate FAA

Maintenance Inspector, who may add

comments and then send it to the Manager,

Atlanta ACO.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Atlanta ACO.

(e) Questions or technical information

related to Aeromot Service Bulletin B.S. No.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This document corrects a

typographical error that appeared in

airworthiness directive (AD) 98–11–11

that was published in the Federal

Register on May 26, 1998 (63 FR 28482).

The typographical error resulted in an

incorrect citation of a referenced service

bulletin. This AD is applicable to all

CASA Model CN–235 series airplanes,

and requires modification of the

passenger and crew doors and repetitive

visual inspections, adjustments, and

tests of the passenger and crew door

latching and locking systems to ensure

correct operation.

DATES: Effective June 30, 1998.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations was previously approved by

the Director of the Federal Register as of

June 30, 1998 (63 FR 28482, May 26,

1998).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 98–11–11,

amendment 39–10538, applicable to all

CASA Model CN–235 series airplanes,

was published in the Federal Register

on May 26, 1998 (63 FR 28482). That

AD requires modification of the
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 140 /Wednesday, July 22, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 39233

passenger and crew doors and repetitive

visual inspections, adjustments, and

tests of the passenger and crew door

latching and locking systems to ensure

correct operation.

As published, AD 98–11–11

contained typographical errors in

paragraph (a)(2)(ii), which indicated

that the actions required by that

paragraph were to be accomplished in

accordance with ‘‘paragraphs 2. and 3.

of CASA COM 235–093, Revision 02,

dated October 19, 1995; and paragraph

V of Annex II of CASA COM 235–098,

Revision 02, dated October 19, 1995.’’

However, the correct service

information reference is CASA COM

235–098, rather than CASA COM 235–

093. In addition, the paragraph

reference for Annex II should read:

‘‘paragraph V.’’ (In all other parts of the

published AD and its preamble, the

service information was cited correctly.)

This document corrects the reference

to the CASA service information cited

in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of AD 98–11–11.

Since no other part of the regulatory

information has been changed, the final

rule is not being republished.

The effective date of this AD remains

June 30, 1998.

In final rule, FR Doc. 98–13395,

published on May 26, 1998 (63 FR

28482), make the following corrections:

§ 39.13 [Corrected]

1. On page 28483, in the third

column, paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of AD 98–

11–11 is corrected to read as follows:

* * * * *

(a) * * *

(2) * * *

(ii) Repeat adjustments and tests of

the door latching and locking systems,

dated October 19, 1995; and paragraph

V of Annex II of CASA COM 235–098,

Revision 02, dated October 19, 1995; at

intervals not to exceed 1,200 flight

hours. If any discrepancy is found

during any adjustment or test, prior to

further flight, accomplish the applicable

corrective action in accordance with the

COM.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 revises

the location of the Class E airspace area

at Dallas-Forth Worth, TX. This action

revises the description of the DFW Class

E airspace area by changing its point of

origin from the DFW VORTAC to the

VORTAC’s present geographical

coordinates. The FAA is taking this

action due to the planned relocation of

the DFW VORTAC 3⁄4 nautical miles

west of its present location. The intent

of this action is to facilitate the

relocation of the DFW VORTAC without

changing the actual dimensions,

configuration, or operating requirements

of the DFW Class E airspace area.

Class E airspace designations 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 Direct Final Rule Procedure

The FAA anticipates that this

regulation will not result in any adverse

or negative comment and therefore is

issuing it as a direct final rule. A

Substantial number of previous

opportunities provided to the public to

comment on substantially identical

actions have resulted in negligible

adverse comments or objections. Unless

a written adverse or negative comment,

or a written notice of intent to submit

an adverse or negative comment is

received within the comment period,

the regulation will become effective on

the date specified above. After the close

of the comment period, the FAA will

publish a document in the Federal

Register indicating that no adverse or

negative comments were received and

confirming the date on which the final

rule will become effective. If the FAA

does receive, within the comment

period, an adverse or negative comment,

or written notice of intent to submit

such a comment, a document

withdrawing the direct final rule will be

published in the Federal Register, and

a notice of proposed rulemaking may be

published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule and was not preceded by a

notice of proposed rulemaking,

comments are invited on this rule.

Interested persons are invited to

comment on this rule by submitting

such written data, views, or arguments

as they may desire. Communications

should identify the Rules Docket

number and be submitted in triplicate to

the address specified under the caption

ADDRESSES. All communications

received on or before the closing date

for comments will be considered, and

this rule may be amended or withdrawn

in light of the comments received.

Factual information that supports the

commenter’s ideas and suggestions is

extremely helpful in evaluating the
