*Airplanes having the serial numbers listed

in Table 1 are subject to similar requirements

mandated by AD 85–16–04, amendment 39–

5110.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

as indicated in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

otherwise modified, altered, or repaired in

the area subject to the requirements of this

AD. For airplanes 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 (b) 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 as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent deterioration of the airplane’s

lateral control characteristics as a result of

aileron buffet or buzz, accomplish the

following:

(a) Within 200 hours time-in-service after

the effective date of this AD, or within 6

months after the effective date of this AD,

whichever occurs first, accomplish either

paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this AD:

(1) Option I. Permanently reduce the

airplane’s maximum operating Mach limit

(MMO) by accomplishing the actions specified

in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii)

of this AD:

(i) Submit the FAA-approved STC

SA766NW Airplane flight Manual

Supplement to the Manager, Flight Test

Branch, ANM–160S, Seattle Aircraft

Certification Office, FAA, Transport Airplane

Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton,

Washington 98055–4056; to change the limit

Mach number from .83 to .80. And

(ii) Remove the ‘‘Mach Overspeed Warning

Switch’’ and have it reset from Mach .83 to

.80. Contact the manufacturer, PRECISION

SENSOR, P.O. Box 509, Milford, Connecticut

06460; telephone number (203) 877–2795; to

have the instrument recalibrated. Reidentify

the Mach overspeed warning switch by inkstamping the words ‘‘Mach limit .80’’

adjacent to the part number. Reinstall the

‘‘Mach Overspeed Warning Switch’’ after it

has been so recalibrated. And

(iii) Remove the pilot’s and copilot’s

airspeed indicators and have them modified

by changing the ‘‘barber pole’’ from Mach

number .83 to .80. The instrument must be

recalibrated by the instrument manufacturer

or a certified repair station. Reidentify the

airspeed indicators by ink stamping ‘‘Mach

limit .80’’ adjacent to the part number.

Reinstall the pilot’s and copilot’s airspeed

indicators after they have been so modified.

(2) Option II. Remove the modifications

installed in accordance with Raisbeck Group

STC SA766NW, and return the aircraft either

to the original type design configuration, or

to the Gates Learjet ‘‘Softflight’’

configuration.

(b) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager, Seattle

Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA,

Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators

shall submit their requests through an

appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, Seattle ACO.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Seattle ACO.

(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 airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

controlled airspace for aircraft executing

the SIAP at the above listed airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before June 20, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Manager,

Operations Branch, ACE–530, Federal

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

provide additional controlled airspace

for a new Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

procedure at the Ames Municipal

Airport, Ames, Iowa. The additional

airspace would segregate aircraft

operating under VFR conditions from

aircraft operating under IFR procedures.

The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts thereby

enabling pilots to circumnavigate the

area or otherwise comply with IFR

procedures. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth 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 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.

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 that this proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
