and B300C (C–12W) Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Models 

B300 and B300C (C–12W) airplanes. 

This AD was prompted by an error 

found in the take-off speeds and field 

lengths published in the FAA-approved 

airplane flight manual. This AD requires 

a correction to the published data in the 

airplane flight manual and the pilot’s 

operating handbook to ensure it 

corresponds with the published data in 

the pilot’s checklist. This condition, if 

not corrected, could result in a pilot 

taking off from shorter runways than 

required by the airplane if the airplane 

loses an engine after takeoff decision 

speed (V1). This could result in the 

airplane running out of runway before 

take-off can be accomplished. We are 

issuing this AD to correct the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective August 19, 

2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of August 19, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on April 29, 2011 (76 FR 

23921). That NPRM proposed to require 

inserting an update to the performance 

charts in the FAA-approved Airplane 

Flight Manual and the Pilot’s Operating 

Handbook, part number (P/N) 130– 

590031–245. The required runway 

distances published in the current 

manual could be up to 320 feet shorter 

than what is necessary. Hawker 

Beechcraft Corporation determined data 

in the pilot’s checklist (P/N 130– 

590031–273) was correct. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result 

in taking off from shorter runways than 

required by the airplane if the airplane 

loses an engine after takeoff decision 

speed (V1). This could result in the 

airplane running out of runway before 

take-off can be accomplished. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 46 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in subtitle VII, 

part A, subpart III, section 44701: 

‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

field lengths published in the FAA-approved 

flight manual. This AD is issued to correct 

the published data in the airplane flight 

manual and the pilot’s operating handbook 

and ensure it corresponds with the published 

data in the pilot’s checklist. This condition, 

if not corrected, could result in taking off 

from shorter runways than required by the 

airplane if the airplane loses an engine after 

takeoff decision speed (V1). This could result 

in the airplane running out of runway before 

take-off can be accomplished.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above, except for those 

that are currently affected by similar 

action through any of five ADs 

applicable to Boeing products. This AD 

requires an inspection/records check to 

determine the manufacturer and part 

number of the oxygen mask assemblies 

installed, an inspection to determine the 

manufacturing date and modification 

status if certain oxygen mask assemblies 

are installed, and corrective action for 

certain oxygen mask assemblies. This 

AD was prompted by a report that 

several oxygen mask assemblies with 

broken in-line flow indicators were 

found following a mask deployment. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent the inline flow indicators of the oxygen mask 

assembly from fracturing and 

separating, which could inhibit oxygen 

flow to the masks. This condition could 

consequently result in occupants 

developing hypoxia following a 

depressurization event. 

DATES: This AD is effective August 19, 

2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of August 19, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an airworthiness 

directive (AD) that would apply to the 

specified products. That NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 23, 2011 (76 FR 9984). That 

NPRM proposed to require an 

inspection/records check to determine 

the manufacturer and part number of 

the oxygen mask assemblies installed, 

an inspection to determine the 

manufacturing date and modification 

status if certain oxygen mask assemblies 

are installed, and corrective action for 

certain oxygen mask assemblies. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the proposal and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. B/E 

Aerospace supports the NPRM. 

Request To Address Past Production 

Cut Over Point Airplanes 

The Boeing Company (Boeing) stated 

that a statement should be included in 

the final rule AD action to address 

installation of the affected oxygen mask 

assemblies on Boeing airplanes that are 

not included in existing Boeing service 

bulletins because these airplanes are 

past production cut over point. 

Boeing stated that, due to long-time 

lag between production cut over change 

and the release of the AD, there is a high 

likelihood that on Boeing airplanes past 

production cut over point, but prior to 

release of this AD due to lack of 

awareness of the pending AD release, 

operators could have installed one of 

the affected oxygen mask assemblies 

during routine maintenance. The 

Applicability section of the proposed 

AD could mislead operators to not take 

corrective actions on Boeing airplanes 

even if they had unknowingly installed 

affected oxygen mask assemblies on 

airplanes past production cut over prior 

to release of the AD. This could also 

apply to installation of affected oxygen 

mask assemblies on Boeing airplanes 

through supplemental type certificate 

(STC) or through field approval. 

We agree with the commenter. 

However, the unsafe condition on 

Boeing airplanes will be addressed 

separately from this AD. If additional 

action is necessary to address Boeing’s 

concerns, additional rulemaking may be 

taken specific to Boeing airplanes. 

We have not changed the final rule 

AD action based on this comment. 

Request for Applicability Clarification 

Boeing stated that there is confusion 

between the statements in the 

Differences Between the Proposed AD 

and the Service Information section and 

the Applicability section in the 

proposed AD. The statements are 

contradictory and could mislead 

operators. In the proposed AD, it is 

stated in the Differences Between the 

Proposed AD and the Service 

Information section that oxygen mask
