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 USC 106(g), 40113, 44701.

§§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding a new airworthiness directive

(AD) to read as follows:

96–10–02 HB Flugtechnik GMBH:

Amendment 39–9607; Docket No. 95–

CE–30–AD.

Applicability: Model HB–23/2400

sailplanes (serial numbers 23001 through

23048), certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each sailplane

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

sailplanes 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 (f) 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 initially within the

next 50 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the

effective date of this AD, and as indicated in

the body of this AD thereafter, unless already

accomplished.

To prevent failure of the elevator control

system, which, if not detected and corrected,

could result in possible loss of elevator

control and loss of the sailplane, accomplish

the following:

(a) Inspect (one time) for bending and

dents on the elevator control push rod tube.

If the push rod tube is damaged, prior to

further flight, replace the elevator control

push rod tube in accordance with HB

Flugtechnik GmbH (Flugtechnik) service

bulletin (SB) HB–23/18/91, dated October 28,

1991.

(b) Inspect the clearance between the

elevator control lever and the elevator control

push rod, ensuring the clearance remains at

least 3 mm. If clearance is not 3 mm, prior

to further flight, adjust in accordance with

the maintenance manual.

(c) Inspect the threaded portion of the

adjustable push rod joints (located at each

end of the push rod) for fatigue cracks and

deformation, and if cracked or damaged,

(based on the fatigue evaluation), prior to

further flight, replace the joints on both ends

of the push rod in accordance with

Flugtechnik SB HB–23/17/91, dated October

28, 1991.

(d) Repetitively inspect the threaded

portion of the adjustable push rod joints, at

intervals not to exceed 500 hours time-inservice (TIS) thereafter for cracks or

deformation, and if cracked or damaged,

prior to further flight, replace the joints as

necessary, in accordance with Flugtechnik

SB HB–23/17/91, dated October 28, 1991.

(e) 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 sailplane

to a location where the requirements of this

AD can be accomplished.

(f) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the initial or repetitive

compliance times that provides an equivalent

level of safety may be approved by the

Manager, Small Airplane Directorate,

Airplane Certification Service, FAA, 1201

Walnut, suite 900, Kansas City, Missouri

64106. The request shall be forwarded

through an appropriate FAA Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, Small Airplane

Directorate.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Small Airplane

Directorate.

(g) The inspections and modifications

required by this AD shall be done in

accordance with ING Heino Broitschka

Flugtechnik Ges.m.b.H Service Bulletin HB–

23/17/91, dated October 28, 1991, and ING

Heino Broitschka Flugtechnik Ges.m.b.H

Service Bulletin HB–23/18/91, dated October

28, 1991. This incorporation by reference was

approved by the Director of the Federal

Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a)

and 1 CFR part 51. Copies may be obtained

from HB Flugtechnik GmbH, Dr. Adolf

Scharfstr, 42, PF 74, A–4053 Haid, Austria.

Modification of Class E Airspace;

Alliance, OH, Salem, OH, and

Youngstown, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E5

airspace at Youngstown-Warren

Regional Airport, Youngstown, OH and

revises the exclusionary language in the

Class E5 airspace designations for

Alliance, OH and Salem, OH, due to the

closing of the Youngstown Executive

Airport, Youngstown, OH, on August

15, 1995. The intent of this action is to

provide adequate controlled airspace for

the existing procedures at Youngstown,

OH and to modify the airspace

designations at Alliance and Salem, OH,

to reflect the closure of Youngstown

Executive Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, June 20,

1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On February 6, 1996, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) to modify the Class E5 airspace

area at Youngstown-Warren Regional

Airport, Youngstown, OH, and to

modify the language for the Class E5

airspace designations for Alliance, OH

and Salem, OH.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

was received. Class E airspace

designations for airspace extending

upward from 700 feet or more above

ground level are published in paragraph

6005 of FAA order 7400.9C dated

August 17, 1995, and effective

September 16, 1995, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 87 / Friday, May 3, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 19817

71.1. The Class E airspace designations

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) modifies the Class E5 airspace

at Youngstown-Warren Regional

Airport, Youngstown, Ohio and revises

the language for the Class E5 airspace

designations for Alliance, OH and

Salem, OH. The closing of the

Youngstown Executive Airport,

Youngstown, OH on August 15, 1995

and deletion of the airport’s VOR

Runway 11/29 Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) require this

modification to ensure that the

procedures at Youngstown-Warren

Regional Airport are contained within

controlled airspace and that the

Alliance and Salem, OH, Class E

airspace designations are appropriately

identified.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. Therefore, this 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 that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On January 8, 1996, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) by establishing a Class E

airspace area at Tazewell County

Airport, Richlands, VA (61 FR 551). The

development of a GPS SIAP at Tazewell

County Airport has made this action

necessary.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

were received. Class E airspace

designations are published in paragraph

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C, dated

August 17, 1995, and effective

September 16, 1995, 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 Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) establishes a Class E airspace

area at Richlands, VA. The development

of a GPS SIAP at Tazewell County

Airport has made this action necessary.

The intended effect of this action is to

provide adequate Class E airspace for

aircraft executing the GPS RWY 25 SIAP

at the airport.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. Therefore, this 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 10034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
