Background
The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public of the intent to designate Blue Aviation, LLC, STC No. SA02238AT, for the installation of Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34 and -35 engines in Textron Aviation (Beech, Raytheon) Model 65-A90, 65-C90, C90, C90A, and E90 airplanes, as abandoned, and subsequently release the related engineering data.
The FAA has received a third-party request for the release of the aforementioned engineering data under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. The FAA cannot release commercial or financial information under FOIA without the permission of the data owner. However, in accordance with title 49 of the United States Code §?44704(a)(5), the FAA can provide STC "engineering data" it possesses for STC maintenance or improvement, upon request, if the following conditions are met:
1. The FAA determines the STC has been inactive for three or more years;
2. Using due diligence, the FAA is unable to locate the owner of record or the owner of record's heir; and
3. The availability of such data will enhance aviation safety.
There has been no activity on this STC for more than three years.
On November 7, 2022, the FAA sent a registered letter to Blue Aviation, LLC, at its last known address, 2282 Airport Road, Selmer, TN 38375. The letter informed Blue Aviation, LLC, that the FAA had received a request for engineering data related to STC No. SA02238AT and was conducting a due diligence search to determine whether the STC was inactive and may be considered abandoned. The letter further requested Blue Aviation, LLC, to respond in writing within 60 days and state whether it is the holder of the STC. The FAA also attempted to make contact with Blue Aviation, LLC, by other means, including telephone communication and emails, without success.
Information Requested
If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SA02238AT or have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SA02238AT, please contact Gary Wechsler using a method described in this notice under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . If you are the heir of the owner, or the owner by transfer, of STC No. SA02238AT, you must provide a notarized copy of your government-issued identification with a letter and background establishing your ownership of the STC and, if applicable, your relationship as the heir to the deceased holder of the STC.
Conclusion
If the FAA does not receive any response by October 10, 2023, the FAA will consider STC No. SA02238AT abandoned, and the FAA will proceed with the release of the requested data. This action is for the purpose of maintaining the airworthiness of an aircraft and enhancing aviation safety.
