List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 29 

Aircraft, Aviation safety. 

The Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

amends chapter I of Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations as follows: 

PART 29—AIRWORTHINESS 

STANDARDS: TRANSPORT 

CATEGORY ROTORCRAFT 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 29 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701– 

44702, 44704 

■ 2. Revise § 29.571 to read as follows: 

§ 29.571 Fatigue Tolerance Evaluation of 

Metallic Structure. 

(a) A fatigue tolerance evaluation of 

each principal structural element (PSE) 

must be performed, and appropriate 

inspections and retirement time or 

approved equivalent means must be 

established to avoid catastrophic failure 

during the operational life of the 

rotorcraft. The fatigue tolerance 

evaluation must consider the effects of 

both fatigue and the damage determined 

under paragraph (e)(4) of this section. 

Parts to be evaluated include PSEs of 

the rotors, rotor drive systems between 

the engines and rotor hubs, controls, 

fuselage, fixed and movable control 

surfaces, engine and transmission 

mountings, landing gear, and their 

related primary attachments. 

(b) For the purposes of this section, 

the term— 

(1) Catastrophic failure means an 

event that could prevent continued safe 

flight and landing. 

(2) Principal structural element (PSE) 

means a structural element that 

contributes significantly to the carriage 

of flight or ground loads, and the fatigue 

failure of that structural element could 

result in catastrophic failure of the 

aircraft. 

(c) The methodology used to establish 

compliance with this section must be 

submitted to and approved by the 

Administrator. 

(d) Considering all rotorcraft 

structure, structural elements, and 

assemblies, each PSE must be identified. 

(e) Each fatigue tolerance evaluation 

required by this section must include: 

(1) In-flight measurements to 

determine the fatigue loads or stresses 

for the PSEs identified in paragraph (d) 

of this section in all critical conditions 

throughout the range of design 

limitations required by § 29.309 

(including altitude effects), except that 

maneuvering load factors need not 

exceed the maximum values expected in 

operations. 

(2) The loading spectra as severe as 

those expected in operations based on 

loads or stresses determined under 

paragraph (e)(1) of this section, 

including external load operations, if 

applicable, and other high frequency 

power-cycle operations. 

(3) Takeoff, landing, and taxi loads 

when evaluating the landing gear and 

other affected PSEs. 

(4) For each PSE identified in 

paragraph (d) of this section, a threat 

assessment which includes a 

determination of the probable locations, 

types, and sizes of damage, taking into 

account fatigue, environmental effects, 

intrinsic and discrete flaws, or 

accidental damage that may occur 

during manufacture or operation. 

(5) A determination of the fatigue 

tolerance characteristics for the PSE 

with the damage identified in paragraph 

(e)(4) of this section that supports the 

inspection and retirement times, or 

other approved equivalent means. 

(6) Analyses supported by test 

evidence and, if available, service 

experience. 

(f) A residual strength determination 

is required that substantiates the 

maximum damage size assumed in the 

fatigue tolerance evaluation. In 

determining inspection intervals based 

on damage growth, the residual strength 

evaluation must show that the 

remaining structure, after damage 

growth, is able to withstand design limit 

loads without failure. 

(g) The effect of damage on stiffness, 

dynamic behavior, loads, and functional 

performance must be considered. 

(h) Based on the requirements of this 

section, inspections and retirement 

times or approved equivalent means 

must be established to avoid 

catastrophic failure. The inspections 

and retirement times or approved 

equivalent means must be included in 

the Airworthiness Limitations Section 

of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness required by Section 

29.1529 and Section A29.4 of Appendix 

A of this part. 

(i) If inspections for any of the damage 

types identified in paragraph (e)(4) of 

this section cannot be established 

within the limitations of geometry, 

inspectability, or good design practice, 

then supplemental procedures, in 

conjunction with the PSE retirement 

time, must be established to minimize 

the risk of occurrence of these types of 

damage that could result in a 

catastrophic failure during the 

operational life of the rotorcraft.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 232 / Friday, December 2, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 75443 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Quest Aircraft Design, LLC (Quest) 

Model Kodiak 100 airplanes. This AD 

requires you to inspect the torque of the 

inertial particle separator (IPS) bolts; 

correct the torque, if necessary; replace 

the IPS bolts with new IPS bolts within 

a certain time; and install safety wire 

around the new IPS bolts. This AD was 

prompted by five instances where a 

loose IPS bolt was found on the righthand side of the engine bypass door 

attachment. This condition, if not 

corrected, could lead to an inoperable 

bypass door, which could result in 

engine inlet icing with consequent loss 

of engine power and forced landing. We 

are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective December 

19, 2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of December 19, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We received reports of five instances 

where a loose IPS bolt was found on the 

right-hand side of the engine bypass 

door attachment on Quest Model Kodiak 

100 airplanes. This area attaches the 

bypass door to the actuating shaft. In 

one of the five instances, the bolt was 

lost. Loose or missing IPS bolts could 

lead to an inoperable bypass door, 

which could result in engine inlet icing 

with consequent loss of engine power 

and forced landing. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Quest Aircraft Company 

Mandatory Service Bulletin Number 

SB11–17, Revision: 00, dated November 

1, 2011; and Quest Aircraft Company 

Field Service Instruction No. FSI–028, 

Revision 02, (undated). The service 

information describes procedures for 

inspecting and re-torquing the first IPS 

bolt, replacing both IPS bolts with new 

bolts, and installing safety wire around 

the new bolts. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions specified in the service 

information described previously. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because this condition, if not 

corrected, could result in loss of engine 

power that may lead to a forced landing. 

Therefore, we find that notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

are impracticable and that good cause 

exists for making this amendment 

effective in less than 30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include the docket number 

FAA–2011–1328 and Directorate 

Identifier 2011–CE–037–AD at the 

beginning of your comments. We 

specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 38 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Inspect and re-torque the AN4–4A bolt .................................. 0.5 work-hour × $85 per hour

ESTIMATED COSTS—Continued 

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Replace the IPS bolts, part numbers (P/N) AN4–4A and

* Not Applicable. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 26, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace for Olathe, KS, 

reconfiguring controlled airspace at 

Johnson County Executive Airport (76 

FR 53361) Docket No. FAA–2011–0748. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated 

August 9, 2011, and effective September 

15, 2011, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class 

E airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

removing Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to a Class D or Class E 

surface area, and modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface, for standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Johnson County Executive Airport, 

Olathe, KS. Decommissioning of the 

Johnson County VOR/DME and 

cancellation of the VOR approach at 

Johnson County Executive Airport has 

made reconfiguration of the airspace 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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); and 

(3) does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends 

controlled airspace at Johnson County 

Executive Airport, Olathe, KS.
