Aeronautics Company Model 382, 

3828, 382E, 382F, and 382G Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

all Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, and 

382G airplanes. That AD currently 

requires revising the FAA-approved 

maintenance program by incorporating 

new airworthiness limitations for fuel 

tank systems to satisfy Special Federal 

Aviation Regulation No. 88 

requirements. That AD also requires the 

accomplishment of certain fuel system 

modifications, the initial inspections of 

certain repetitive fuel system limitations 

to phase in those inspections, and repair 

if necessary. This new AD corrects 

certain part number references, adds an 

additional inspection area, and for 

certain airplanes, requires certain 

actions to be re-accomplished according 

to revised service information. This AD 

was prompted by a report of incorrect 

accomplishment information in the 

service information cited by the existing 

AD. We are issuing this AD to prevent 

the potential for ignition sources inside 

fuel tanks caused by latent failures, 

alterations, repairs, or maintenance 

actions, which, in combination with 

flammable fuel vapors, could result in a 

fuel tank explosion and consequent loss 

of the airplane. 

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. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain other publication listed in 

this AD as of November 3, 2008 (73 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede airworthiness 

directive (AD) 2008-20-01, amendment 

39-15680 (73 FR 56464, September 29, 

2008). That AD applies to the specified 

products. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on January 5, 2011 (76 

FR 485). That NPRM proposed to 

continue to require revising the 

maintenance program by incorporating 

new airworthiness limitations for fuel 

tank systems to satisfy Special Federal 

Aviation Regulation No. 88 

requirements. That NPRM also proposed 

to continue to require the 

accomplishment of certain fuel system 

modifications, the initial inspections of 

certain repetitive fuel system limitations 

to phase in those inspections, and repair 

if necessary. That NPRM also proposed

information. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comment 

received on the proposal and the FAA's 

response to the comment. 

Request To Revise Cost Estimate 

Lynden Air Cargo requested that the 

cost for revising the Instructions for 

Continued Airworthiness be included in 

the Costs of Compliance estimate. 

Lynden Air Cargo stated that there is a 

significant amount of work-hours 

associated with revising " company 

manuals, job cards, maintenance 

programs, computerized tracking 

programs and record keeping 

documents" so that the operator can 

comply with the requirements of a new 

AD. Lynden Air Cargo estimated that 

these actions will take at least 80 workhours for its office staff, and estimated 

that this cost would affect other 

operators. Lynden Air Cargo also 

pointed out that this work load for the 

office staff will have a greater impact on

smaller fl eet operators with smaller 

staff. 

We agree that a requirement of the 

new AD will require an update of the 

maintenance program to incorporate 

references to revised service 

information. This action is estimated to 

take approximately 1 work-hour per 

airplane. However, we disagree with 

increasing the estimated work-hours for 

the time that it takes for writing job 

cards, tracking programs, or recordkeeping, since those actions are not 

directly required by this AD. The costs 

specified by Lynden Air Cargo will not 

be the same for all operators. The Costs 

of Compliance estimate has been revised 

accordingly. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

There are about 62 airplanes of the 

affected design in the worldwide fl eet. 

The following table provides the 

estimated costs for U.S. operators to 

comply with this AD. The average labor 

rate per hour is $85. The costs of the

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 

We have determined that 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.

Note 1: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include new inspections. Compliance with 

these inspections is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired in 

the areas addressed by these inspections, the 

operator may not be able to accomplish the 

inspections described in the revisions. In this 

situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c], 

the operator must request approval for an 

alternative method of compliance according 

to paragraph (o) of this AD. The request 

should include a description of changes to 

the required inspections that will ensure the 

continued operational safety of the airplane.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION : Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD requires 

a detailed inspection to detect distress 

and existing repairs to the leading edge 

structure of the vertical stabilizer at the 

splice at Station Zfs = 52.267; repetitive 

inspections for cracking in the front spar 

cap forward flanges of the vertical 

stabilizer, and either the aft flanges or 

side skins; repetitive inspections for 

loose and missing fasteners; and related 

investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary. This AD was prompted by 

reports of cracked vertical stabilizer 

skin, a severed front spar cap, elongated 

fastener holes at the leading edge of the 

vertical stabilizer, and a cracked front 

spar web and front spar cap bolt holes 

in the vertical stabilizer. We are issuing 

this AD to detect and correct such 

cracking damage, which could result in 

the structure being unable to support 

limit load, and could lead to the loss of 

the vertical stabilizer. 

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 

March 14, 2011 (76 FR 13543). That 

NPRM proposed to require a detailed 

inspection to detect distress and 

existing repairs to the leading edge 

structure of the vertical stabilizer at the 

splice at Station Zfs = 52.267; repetitive 

inspections for cracking in the front spar 

cap forward flanges of the vertical 

stabilizer, and either the aft flanges or 

side skins; repetitive inspections for 

loose and missing fasteners; and related 

investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary. 

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.
