FR Doc E7-22724 - Docket No. FAA-2007-0211 - AD 2007-24-02
FAA
This AD supersedes an existing one by reducing the inspection threshold, and results from a fuel tank explosion on the ground of a 727 airplane (which appears to be a reference to the Transmile Airways 727 accident 4 May 2006 in India).

FR Doc E7-20823 - Docket No. FAA-2007-0074
FAA
Proposed AD would require replacement of the wire harness of the auxiliary hydraulic pump with a new one, and routing the new wire harness outside of the tire burst area. The proposed AD results from fuel system safety reviews conducted by the manufacturer and reports of shorted wires in the right wheel well and evidence of arcing on the power cables of the auxiliary hydraulic pump. |

FR Doc 07-4884 - Docket No. FAA-2002-12461
FAA
The notice announces changes that would (1) ensure the testing environment is realistic, (2) adds a new level of simulation for helicopter flight training devices, and (3) harmonizes with international standards for simulators. Other than certain visual scene requirements, which apply earlier, the ruling applies to simulators qualified after 30 May 2008.
The notice is significant on a number of accounts, not the least of which is the increasing reliance that simulators are slated to play in pilot training. Under the Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL) scheme, simulators will substitute for actual flying time in the air. In fact, a simulator session can substitute for actual flying for the final check ride before graduation (see Air Accident Digest, 5 September 2007, p. 20, “Bowing to the Inevitable”). |

FAA
Proposed AD requires inspection of cockpit windows after two were damaged in flight, causing one plane to lose cabin pressure. The proposed AD follows similar AD action in July on all B747 jetliners after a cockpit window fell out, causing a loss of cabin pressure and an emergency landing. |
