19910 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 82 / Thursday, April 30, 2009 / Proposed Rules 

In the most recent case, the aircraft had 

been modified in accordance with Airbus 

Service Bulletin A300–57–0205 (Airbus 

modification No. 04770). Investigations led 

by the manufacturer revealed that the centre 

hinge bracket developed a fatigue crack 

causing complete failure of the bracket. The 

tab rotated causing failure of the inboard link 

followed by the failure of the outboard link. 

To avoid a detachment of a centre flap 

inner tab, which could be a potential risk to 

persons on [the] ground, this AD requires a 

repetitive [high frequency eddy current] 

inspection of the centre flap inner tab hinge 

bracket and replacement of the bracket when 

cracks are detected * * * [and] reporting of 

inspection results to the TC holder [and 

provides] an optional terminating action. 

* * * 

* * * * * 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) At the times specified in Table 1 or 

Table 2 of this AD, as applicable, perform a 

high frequency eddy current inspection to 

detect fatigue cracks of the center hinge 

bracket of the center flap inner tab (on both 

wings), in accordance with Airbus 

Mandatory Service Bulletin A300–57–0250, 

Revision 01, dated September 29, 2008. If no 

cracking is found, repeat the inspection 

thereafter at intervals not to exceed 850 flight 

cycles. 

TABLE 1—AIRPLANES ON WHICH AIRBUS SERVICE BULLETIN A300–57–0205 HAS NOT BEEN DONE

Flight cycles accumulated since first flight as of the effective date of 

this AD Compliance time 

Less than 6,000 flight cycles .................................................................... Prior to accumulating 6,000 flight cycles since first flight or within 90 

days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later. 

6,000 flight cycles or more, but less than 12,000 flight cycles ................ Within 850 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD. 

12,000 flight cycles or more ..................................................................... Within 500 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD. 

TABLE 2—AIRPLANES ON WHICH AIRBUS SERVICE BULLETIN A300–57–0205 HAS BEEN DONE

Flight cycles accumulated since Airbus Service Bulletin A300–57–0205 

modification as of the effective date of this AD Compliance time 

Less than 6,000 flight cycles .................................................................... Prior to accumulating 6,000 flight cycles since Airbus Service Bulletin 

A300–57–0205 modification or within 90 days after the effective date 

of this AD, whichever occurs later. 

6,000 flight cycles or more, but less than 12,000 flight cycles ................ Within 850 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD. 

12,000 flight cycles or more ..................................................................... Within 500 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD. 

(2) If any crack is detected during any 

inspection required by this AD, before further 

flight, replace the center hinge bracket in 

accordance with Airbus Mandatory Service 

Bulletin A300–57–0250, Revision 01, dated 

September 29, 2008. Within 6,000 flight 

cycles after replacing the center hinge 

bracket, do the inspection required by 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, and if no cracking 

is found, repeat the inspection thereafter at 

intervals not to exceed 850 flight cycles. 

(3) Modifying the inboard tab of the center 

flaps in accordance with Airbus Service 

Bulletin A300–57–0252, dated August 27, 

2008, terminates the requirements of this AD. 

(4) Actions accomplished before the 

effective date of this AD in accordance with 

Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A300–57– 

0250, dated November 2, 2007, are 

considered acceptable for compliance with 

the corresponding action specified in this 

AD.

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 establishing Class D 

airspace for IFR operations at Fort 

Worth Spinks Airport, Fort Worth, TX. 

The area would be depicted on 

appropriate aeronautical charts. 

Class D airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 

7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and 

effective October 31, 2008, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D 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 

establish controlled airspace at Fort 

Worth Spinks Airport, Fort Worth, TX. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 

Airspace, Incorporation by reference, 

Navigation (Air). 

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as 

follows: 

PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, 

B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; 

AIRWAYS; ROUTES; AND REPORTING 

POINTS 

1. The authority citation for Part 71 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g); 40103, 40113, 

40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959– 

1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation 

Administration Order 7400.9S, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated October 3, 2008, and effective 

October 31, 2008, is amended as 

follows: 

Paragraph 5000 Class D Airspace.

ASW TX D Fort Worth Spinks Airport, TX 

[New] 

Fort Worth Spinks Airport, TX 

(Lat. 32°33′55′′ N., long. 97°18′29′′ W.) 

That airspace extending upward from the 

surface up to but not including 3,000 feet 

MSL within a 4.1-mile radius of Fort Worth 

Spinks Airport, and within 1 mile each side 

of the 173° bearing from the airport extending 

from the 4.1-mile radius to 4.8 miles south 

of the airport. This Class D airspace area is 

effective during the specific dates and times 

established in advance by a Notice to 

Airmen. The effective dates and times will 

thereafter be continuously published in the 

Airport/Facility Directory.
