Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Lafourche Bayou, LA

At the request of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission, the Coast Guard is considering a change to the regulation governing the operation of the following two drawbridges across Lafourche Bayou, in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana: The State Route 1 (Galliano-Tarpon) vertical lift span bridge, mile 30.6 at Cutoff, Louisiana; and The State Route 1 (Cote Blanche) pontoon bridge, mile 33.9 at Cutoff, Louisiana. The proposed regulation would require that the bridges open on signal; except that from 2 to 3 p.m. and from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, other than Federal holidays, the bridges would be permitted to remain closed to navigation for the uninterrupted crossing of peak vehicular and school bus traffic. Presently, the draws of the bridges are required to open on signal at all times. This action would relieve traffic congestion on the bridges during these periods and permit the timely return of school children to their homes while still providing for the reasonable needs of navigation.

Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-24 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that a solid-state relay (SSR) used in the left-hand (LH) windshield heating system may allow reverse current flow when in the OFF position. This AD requires modification of the airplane and replacement of the affected SSR with a serviceable part. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
