SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to add an AD that would apply 

to GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd Model GA8– 

TC320 airplane. The NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 6, 2015 (80 FR 419). The NPRM 

proposed to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products and was 

based on mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country. The MCAI states: 

A recent review of the engine mount 

installation on the GA8–TC 320 aircraft has 

highlighted the omission of engine mount 

fire seal washers during the assembly 

process. 

The current engine mount configuration 

does not meet the certification basis for the 

aircraft, specifically regulation 23.865 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations of the United 

States of America, where engine mounts 

located in designated fire zones are required 

to be suitably shielded so that they are 

capable of withstanding the effects of a fire. 

The Gippsland Aeronautics GA8–TC 320 

aircraft require the installation of an 

approved steel washer at each of the engine 

mount locations to address a potential risk of 

reduced engine retention capability in the 

event of a fire. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at: http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-1123- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (80 

FR 419, January 6, 2015) 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 (80 FR 419, 

January 6, 2015) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (80 FR 419, 

January 6, 2015). 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed GippsAero Mandatory 

Service Bulletin SB–GA8–2014–115, 

Issue 1, dated October 6, 2014. The 

GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin 

SB–GA8–2014–115, Issue 1, dated 

October 6, 2014 describes procedures 

for inspecting the orientation of the 

engine isolator mounts to verify proper 

installation, re-installing if necessary, 

and installing steel washers on the 

forward side of each side of the engine 

isolator mounts. This service 

information is reasonably available; see 

ADDRESSES for ways to access this 

service information. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

will affect 13 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 5 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this AD. The average labor rate is $85 

per work-hour. Required parts would 

cost about $10 per product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to 

be $5,655, or $435 per product. 

According to the manufacturer, all 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 

We 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 this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

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

the 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.

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

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

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

2015–06–02 GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd: 

Amendment 39–18120; Docket No. 

FAA–2014–1123; Directorate Identifier 

2014–CE–037–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes 

effective April 24, 2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to GA8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd 

GA8–TC320 airplanes, all serial numbers 

affected, certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of another 

country to identify and correct an unsafe 

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI 

describes the unsafe condition as missing 

required engine mount fire seal washers, 

which could reduce the engine retention 

capability in the event of a fire. We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct the 

omission of steel washers at each isolator 

mount location, which, if not corrected, 

could result in reduced engine retention 

capability in the event of a fire. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, comply with this AD 

within the compliance times specified in 

paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(4) of this AD: 

(1) Within the next 300 hours time-inservice after April 24, 2015 (the effective date 

of this AD) or within the next 12 months after 

April 24, 2015 (the effective date of this AD), 

whichever occurs first, inspect the 

orientation of the engine isolator mounts to 

verify that the mounts have been installed 

properly following the Accomplishment 

Instructions in GippsAero Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB–GA8–2014–115, Issue 1, dated 

October 6, 2014. 

(2) Before reinstalling the engine isolator 

mounts following the inspection required in 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further 

flight, install a part number J–2218–61 steel 

washer on the forward side of each of the 

four engine isolator mounts, following the 

Accomplishment Instructions in GippsAero 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB–GA8–2014– 

115, Issue 1, dated October 6, 2014. 

(3) If during the inspection required in 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, any of the engine 

isolator mounts are found to not comply with 

the specifications found in the 

Accomplishment Instructions of GippsAero 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB–GA8–2014– 

115, Issue 1, dated October 6, 2014, before 

further flight, re-install the isolators to the 

correct orientation, or if damage is found, 

replace with airworthy parts.
