FAAST Blast Notice Number: NOTC3339 FAAST Blast — Week of Oct. 31 – Nov. 06, 2011 Biweekly FAA Safety Briefing News Update Bulletin Stresses Proper Performance at Idle for Cessna 172     On October 26, 2011, the FAA issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) that addresses a concern with proper engine performance at idle for 1996 and after Cessna 172R and 172S models. Engine fuel servos on these aircraft have the potential to shift to an over-rich condition with the throttle at idle, which, if not addressed, could lead to the engine's inability to operate at idle-stop and possibly prevent a restart in-flight. The SAIB stresses the importance of understanding how an engine should properly perform when at idle, and how operators need to review, understand, and adhere to the operating limitations defined in the POH/AFM and maintenance manual.       Cessna has taken action to include information in their service documents and POH updates for these models to address the issue and improve the operator and maintenance communities' understanding of what proper engine performance should be with the throttle at idle. For more information, go to www.faa.gov/aircraft/safety/alerts/SAIB/ and search for CE-12-03.   FAA Creates New Laser Webpage        In a continuing effort to combat the growing problem of lasers directed at aircraft, the FAA has created a new website to make it easier for pilots and the public to report laser incidents and obtain information on the subject. The website, which can be found at www.faa.gov/go/laserinfo, collects a wide array of laser information into one location. It includes links for reporting laser incidents, laser statistics, FAA press releases, and FAA research on the dangers lasers can pose to pilots, as well as downloadable videos. Laser event reports have increased steadily since the FAA created a formal reporting system in 2005 to collect information from pilots. Reports rose from nearly 300 in 2005 to 1,527 in 2009 and 2,836 in 2010.   Venturing Further Afield     Airports—they come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small and sleepy, while others are abuzz with more activity than a hornet's nest. Despite the differences, airports can offer opportunities for education and enjoyment at all levels. In her article, "Venturing Further Afield," author and FAA Safety Briefing editor Susan Parson explores the many benefits of going "off the chart" when it comes to finding new places to park your airplane, not the least of which involves supporting our country's vital network of general aviation airports. Parson also touts the popularity of state-sponsored airport visitation programs as incentives for both students and "post-graduate" flyers looking to gain proficiency and/or earn higher certificates or ratings.     To view the article, see page 8 of the new November/December 2011 FAA Safety Briefing: www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/2011/media/NovDec2011.pdf.     Produced by the FAA Safety Briefing editors, http://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/ Address questions or comments to: SafetyBriefing@faa.gov.
