[Docket No. 2000–NE–24–AD; Amendment

39–12129; AD 2001–04–10]

RIN 2120–AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt &

Whitney Canada (PWC) Model PW305

and PW305A Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a

new airworthiness directive (AD),

applicable to Pratt & Whitney Canada

(PWC) Models PW305 and PW305A

turbofan engines, that requires removing

stage 4 low pressure turbine (LPT) disks

from service before exceeding new,

lower cyclic life limits. This amendment

is prompted by the results of a spin pit

test analysis which indicate that the

stage 4 LPT disk does not have full

published life. The actions specified by

this AD are intended to prevent LPT

disk failure resulting from premature

cracking of the LPT disks, which could

result in an uncontained engine failure

and damage to the airplane.

DATES: Effective date April 6, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

James Rosa, Aerospace Engineer, Engine

Certification Office, FAA, Engine and

Propeller Directorate, 12 New England

Executive Park, Burlington, MA 01803–

5299; telephone: (781) 238–7152; fax

(781) 238–7199.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A

proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to

include an airworthiness directive (AD)

that is applicable to PWC Models

PW305 and PW305A turbofan engines,

was published in the Federal Register

on November 16, 2000 (65 FR 69258).

That action proposed to require

removing stage 4 LPT disks from service

before exceeding new, lower cyclic life

limits.

No Comments Received

Interested persons have been afforded

an opportunity to participate in the

making of this amendment. No

comments were received on the

proposal or the FAA’s determination of

the cost to the public. The FAA has

determined that air safety and the

public interest require the adoption of

the rule as proposed.

Economic Impact

There are currently 358 engines in the

domestic fleet containing the affected

stage 4 LPT disks, part numbers (P/N’s)

30A1457 and 30A1499, and a total of

484 engines in the worldwide fleet. The

total cost to the domestic fleet to remove

and replace these disks at the new life

limit of 4000 cycles-in-service (CIS),

rather than the former life limit of 5000

CIS, is estimated to be $6,331,015.

Regulatory Impact

This proposed rule does not have

federalism implications, as defined in

Executive Order 13132, because it

would not have a substantial direct

effect on the States, on the relationship

between the national government and

the States, or on the distribution of

power and responsibilities among the

various levels of government.

Accordingly, the FAA has not consulted

with state authorities prior to

publication of this proposed rule.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this proposed regulation (1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) if

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact, positive or negative,

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act. A copy of the draft

regulatory evaluation prepared for this

action is contained in the Rules Docket.

A copy of it may be obtained by

contacting the Rules Docket at the

location provided under the caption

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 Register / Vol. 66, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2001 / Rules and Regulations 13011

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 the following new airworthiness

directive:

2001–04–10 Pratt & Whitney Canada:

Amendment 39–12129. Docket 2000–

NE–24–AD.

Applicability

Pratt & Whitney Canada (PWC) Models

PW305 and PW305A turbofan engines with

stage 4 low pressure turbine (LPT) disks, part

numbers (P/N’s) 30A1457 and 30A1499.

These engines are installed on but not

limited to British Aerospace BAe. 125 1000A,

BAe. 125 1000B, Hawker 1000, and Learjet 60

series airplanes.

Note 1: This airworthiness directive (AD)

applies to each engine 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 engines 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 (c)

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 premature LPT disk failure due

to cracking of the LPT disks, which could

result in an uncontained engine failure and

damage to the airplane, accomplish the

following:

New Stage 4 LPT Disk Life Limit

(a) Remove stage 4 LPT disks, P/N’s

30A1457 and 30A1499, prior to exceeding

the new life limit of 4000 cycles-in-service

(CIS).

(b) Except for the provisions of paragraph

(c) of this AD, no parts, identified by P/N in

paragraph (a) of this AD, that exceed the new

life limit of 4000 CIS, may be installed.

Alternative Method of Compliance

(c) 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, Engine

Certification Office (ECO). Operators shall

submit their request through an appropriate

FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who

may add comments and then send it to the

Manager, ECO.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this airworthiness directive,

if any, may be obtained from the ECO.

Special Flight Permits

(d) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with §§ 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.

Effective Date

(e) This amendment becomes effective on

April 6, 2001.

Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on

February 21, 2001.

[Airspace Docket No. 01–ACE–2]

Amendment to Class E Airspace;

Phillipsburg, KS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class

E airspace area at Phillipsburg, KS. The

FAA has developed Area Navigation

(RNAV) Global Positioning System

(GPS) Runway (RWY) 13 ORIGINAL,

RNAV (GPS) RWY 31 ORIGINAL, and

Nondirectional Beacon (NDB)–A,

ORIGINAL (5/17/01) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP)

to serve Phillipsburg Municipal Airport.

Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet Above

Ground Level (AGL) is needed to

accommodate the SIAPs and for other

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

at this airport. This action will also

correct the geographical coordinates of

Phillipsburg Municipal Airport,

Phillipsburg, KS.

The intended effect of this rule is to

provide controlled Class E airspace for

aircraft executing the SIAPs and to

segregate aircraft using instrument

approach procedures in instrument

conditions from aircraft operating in

visual conditions.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective

on 0901 UTC, July 12, 2001.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

Docket must be received on or before

May 1, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Sends comments regarding

the rule in triplicate to: Manager,

Operations and Airspace Branch, Air

Traffic Division, ACE–530, DOT

Regional Headquarters Building, Federal

Aviation Administration, Docket

Number 01–ACE–2, 901 Locust, Kansas

City, MO 64106.

The official docket may be examined

in the Office of the Regional Counsel for

the Central Region at the same address

between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, except Federal

holidays. An informal docket may also

be examined during normal business

hours in the Air Traffic Division at the

same address listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division,

520C, DOT Regional Headquarters

Building, Federal Aviation

Administration, 901 Locust, Kansas

City, MO 64106; telephone: (816) 329–

2525.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

has developed RNAV (GPS) RWY 13

ORIGINAL, RNAV (GPS) RWY 31

ORIGINAL and NDB–A ORIGINAL (5/

17/01) SIAPs to serve Phillipsburg

Municipal Airport, Phillipsburg, KS.

The amendment to Class E airspace at

Phillipsburg, KS, will provide

additional controlled airspace at and

above 700 feet AGL in order to contain

the new SIAPs within controlled

airspace, and thereby facilitate

separation of aircraft operating under

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The area

will be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts. Class E airspace

areas extending upward from 700 feet or

more above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9H, dated September 1,

2000, and effective September 16, 2000,

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 adverse or

negative comment and, therefore, is

issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous

actions of this nature have not been

controversial and have not resulted in

adverse comments or objections. The

amendment will enhance safety for all

flight operations by designating an area

where VFR pilots may anticipate the

presence of IFR aircraft at lower

altitudes, especially during inclement

weather conditions. A greater degree of
