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. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

Learjet Inc.: Docket No. FAA–2011–0651; 

Directorate Identifier 2011–NM–041–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by August 

22, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Learjet Inc. Model 

45 airplanes, certificated in any category; all 

serial numbers. 

Note 1: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include new actions (e.g. inspections). 

Compliance with these actions is required by 

14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have 

been previously modified, altered, or 

repaired in the areas addressed by these 

actions, the operator may not be able to 

accomplish the actions described in the 

revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 

CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request 

approval for an alternative method of 

compliance according to paragraph (i) of this 

AD. The request should include a description 

of changes to the required actions that will 

ensure the continued operational safety of 

the airplane. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 32: Landing Gear. 

Unsafe Condition 

(e) This AD was prompted by a report of 

the potential for fatigue cracking of the end 

cap of the main landing gear (MLG) prior to 

the published life limitation. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of the end 

cap of the MLG, which could result in the 

failure of the MLG actuator upon landing, 

and failure of the MLG to extend or retract 

during flight. 

Compliance 

(f) Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

Maintenance Program Revision 

(g) Within 30 days after the effective date 

of this AD, revise the maintenance program 

by incorporating IRN T3220105 (Main 

Landing Gear Actuator End Cap (P/N 200– 

0303)) as specified in Learjet 40 Temporary 

Revision 4–23, dated January 24, 2011, to 

Learjet 40 Maintenance Manual MM–105; or 

Learjet 45 Temporary Revision 4–34, dated 

January 24, 2011, to Learjet 45 Maintenance 

Manual MM–104; as applicable. The initial 

compliance for the replacement specified in 

IRN T3220105 is prior to the accumulation of 

2,387 total flight cycles on the end cap (P/ 

N 200–0303), or within 25 flight cycles after 

the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs later. 

No Alternative Actions or Intervals 

(h) After accomplishing the revision 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no 

alternative actions (e.g., replacements) or 

intervals, may be used, unless the actions or 

intervals are approved as an alternative 

method of compliance (AMOC) in 

accordance with the procedures specified in 

paragraph (i) of this AD. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(i)(1) The Manager, Wichita Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), 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 directly 

to the manager of the ACO, send it to the 

attention of the person identified in the 

Related Information section of this AD. 

(2) 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.

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace at Grand Junction Regional 

Airport, Grand Junction, CO. Additional 

controlled airspace extending upward 

from 1,200 feet above the surface is 

necessary to accommodate vectoring IFR 

aircraft departing Grand Junction 

Regional Airport to en route airspace. 

This action would also amend Class D 

and the Class E airspace areas to update 

the airport name from Grand Junction, 

Walker Field, to Grand Junction 

Regional Airport, Grand Junction, CO. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9U, 

dated August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in this 

Order. 

The FAA has determined 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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, would 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 for 

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 the 

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 creates 

additional controlled airspace at Grand 

Junction Regional Airport, Grand 

Junction, CO.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, pursuant to the

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace designated as surface area and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Tonopah 

Airport, Tonopah, NV. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

aircraft using new RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Tonopah Airport, Tonopah, NV. Also, 

the geographic coordinates of the airport 

would be updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. This 

action would enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9U, 

dated August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order.
