Airworthiness Directives; McCauley Propeller Systems Propeller Models B5JFR36C1101/114GCA-0, C5JFR36C1102/L114GCA-0, B5JFR36C1103/114HCA-0, and C5JFR36C1104/L114HCA-0

- Proposed Rule
- Length
- 3 pages
The FAA proposes to supersede three existing airworthiness directives (ADs) for McCauley Propeller Systems propeller models B5JFR36C1101/114GCA-0, C5JFR36C1102/L114GCA-0, B5JFR36C1103/114HCA-0, and C5JFR36C1104/L114HCA-0. Those ADs currently require fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPI) and eddy current inspections (ECI) of propeller blades for cracks, and if any crack indications are found, removing the blade from service. This proposed AD would require the same initial inspections, but extends the compliance times and intervals, adds repetitive inspections, and mandates a life limit for the blades. This proposed AD results from our determination that we must require repetitive inspections for cracks, and from reports of blunt leading edges of the propeller blades due to erosion. We are proposing this AD to detect cracks in the propeller blade that could cause failure and separation of the propeller blade and loss of control of the airplane, and to detect blunt leading edges on the propeller blades, which could cause airplane single engine climb performance degradation and could result in an increased risk of collision with terrain.

In this document, the Commission grants in part and denies in part petitions filed by the Voice on the Net (VON) Coalition, United States Telecom Association (USTelecom) and Hamilton Telephone Company (Hamilton) seeking a stay or waiver of certain aspects of the Commission's Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) Order (VoIP TRS Order). The Commission recognizes that, in certain circumstances, there are technical challenges to the ability of interconnected VoIP providers to route 711 abbreviated TRS dialing access calls to an ``appropriate relay center,'' as that term is clarified herein. Similarly, the Commission recognizes that, in certain circumstances, TRS providers receiving 711 emergency calls via an interconnected VoIP service may not be able to determine an appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP) to call in compliance with the TRS emergency call handling requirements. As a result, the Commission finds good cause to grant to interconnected VoIP providers a limited, six month waiver of the requirement that they route 711 calls to an appropriate relay center. The Commission also finds good cause to grant for a period of six months a limited waiver of the TRS emergency call handling requirements, as applied to interconnected VoIP customers, so that TRS providers can implement a means of directing the outbound leg of a 711 call received via an interconnected VoIP service to an appropriate PSAP.

In this document, the Commission seeks comment on petitions filed by the Voice on the Net (VON) Coalition, the United States Telecom Association (USTelecom), and Hamilton Telephone Company (Hamilton) seeking a stay or waiver of certain aspects of the Commission's Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) Order (VoIP TRS Order). In particular, the Commission seeks comment on technical solutions to the ability of interconnected VoIP providers to route all 711 calls to an appropriate relay center and to the ability of a relay center to identify the appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP) to call when receiving an emergency call via 711 abbreviated TRS dialing access and an interconnected VoIP service. The Commission expects that interested parties will work together to achieve technical solutions that will enable emergency 711 calls placed through interconnected VoIP providers to be handled in accordance with the Commission's emergency call handling procedures.
