Background

The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public that the FAA intends to designate as abandoned VanDyke Russell STC No. SA176CE and subsequently release the related engineering data. VanDyke Russell STC No. SA176CE is for removal of door and installation of placard on FS 2001 Corp. Model (type certificate previously held by The New Piper Aircraft, Inc) AE-1, HE-1, J5A (Army L-4F), J5A-80, J5B (Army L-4G), and J5C aircraft.

The FAA has completed a due diligence search regarding the holder of STC No. SA176CE. Information obtained during that search indicates the certificate holder is deceased, and the FAA has been unable to identify or contact any legal successor or owner of the certificate. Therefore, the FAA intends to designate STC No. SA176CE as abandoned unless a person establishes ownership during the comment period.

The FAA cannot release commercial or financial information under the ( printed page 63381) provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (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 3 years or more;

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 3 years.

Information Requested

If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SA176CE or have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SA176CE, please contact Aourolia Kristianti 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. SA176CE, 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 April 5, 2027, the FAA will consider STC No. SA176CE as 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.
