Fwd: "FAAST Blast" - FAASafety.gov

FAAST Blast — Week of June 06 - June 12, 2011 Biweekly FAA Safety Briefing News Update  FAA Issues SAIBs for Frayed Aileron Cables; Engine Oil Filter Interference           On Wednesday, May 31, 2011, FAA issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) concerning the possibility of frayed aileron cables on Cessna 172S aircraft. Cessna is aware of the issue and is working on a soon-to-be-released service bulletin. The FAA recommends following the aileron cable inspection instructions every 200 hours, as outlined in the aircraft maintenance manual.         Another SAIB was issued the same day regarding a concern with engine oil filter interference with select Lycoming engine models on the Piper PA-44-180 and Cessna 172R and S aircraft. Defect reports indicated two instances where there was contact between the oil cooler hose fittings and the oil filter. Such a condition can lead to an improperly installed oil filter and result in a loss of oil or oil pressure. FAA recommends inspecting the oil filter for any interference with the oil cooler hose and to have the hose repositioned if adequate clearance does not exist. Both SAIBs are available at: http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/safety/alerts/SAIB/.   Be a Fan of the FAA        The FAA expanded its foray into the world of social media in the beginning of May by unveiling its official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/FAA. Together with a Twitter account set up under @FAANews, FAA is well positioned to allow new opportunities for information sharing. In addition to timely postings regarding aviation news and events, the FAA Facebook page also features photographs and a frequently asked questions page.     "Our Facebook page, and our FAANews Twitter feed will help engage the aviation community in conversations about the FAA and increase awareness of DOT programs, policies, and activities," says FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt.   How Are TFRs Born?     Have you ever wondered about those TFRs you hear about in your briefings? Who's responsible for them, and why do they just seem to pop up? For answers to those questions and more FAA Safety Briefing editorJames Williams spoke with experts at FAA who are directly involved in the process. From monitoring special events to working with a number of federal, state, and local security agencies, the men and women of FAA's System Operations Security office work hard to not only set up and publish the TFRs, but also to advocate for GA users. "We are truly GA's last advocate," says Frank Hatfield, the office's director. To find out more about the process and how you can stay up on current restrictions, check out "We're on a Mission" on page 16 of the May/June 2011 issue at: http://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/2011/media/MayJun2011.pdf Produced by the FAA Safety Briefing editors, http://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/ Address questions or comments to: SafetyBriefing@faa.gov.
