Airworthiness Directives; Hawker

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model 

G58 airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by notification from Hawker 

Beechcraft Corporation that certain 

affected aircraft were produced with the 

incorrect gauge wiring installed. This 

proposed AD would require 

replacement of the incorrect gauge 

wiring with the correct wiring required 

by type design and the aircraft’s circuit 

protection. We are proposing this AD to 

correct the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by September 24, 

2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

We invite you to send any written 

relevant data, views, or arguments about 

this proposal. Send your comments to 

an address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA– 

2012–0829; Directorate Identifier 2012– 

CE–024–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this proposed AD. We will 

consider all comments received by the 

closing date and may amend this 

proposed 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 proposed AD. 

Discussion 

We received notification from Hawker 

Beechcraft Corporation that their wiring 

fabricators created wiring bundles with 

the incorrect gauge wiring for the threelight strobe system of certain Model G58 

airplanes. The wire used is a smaller 

gauge wire than required by type design 

and the aircraft’s circuit protection is 

not adequate to protect the incorrect 

gauge wire. This condition, if not 

corrected, could result in smoke in the 

cockpit and the possible failure of the 

aircraft’s strobe light system. The failure 

of the wiring for the aircraft’s strobe 

light system could also cause potential 

damage to surrounding wires. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Hawker Beechcraft 

Mandatory Service Bulletin No. SB 33– 

4053, dated February 2011. The service 

bulletin describes procedures for 

replacing the existing 20-gauge wire 

with a new wire of 18-gauge size, part 

number (P/N) M27500–18TE1T14, or 

equivalent. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing 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. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 40 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Replace supply wire of the three light strobe 

system.

16 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,360 ..... $50 $1,410 $56,400 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this proposed 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 proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would 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 proposed regulation: 

(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.

delegated to me by the Administrator,
