Airworthiness Directives; Technify 

Motors GmbH Reciprocating Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Technify Motors GmbH (type certificate 

previously held by Thielert Aircraft 

Engines GmbH) TAE 125–02–99 and 

TAE 125–02–114 reciprocating engines. 

This proposed AD was prompted by inflight shutdowns on airplanes with TAE 

125–02 engines. This proposed AD 

would require removal of each highpressure (HP) fuel pump before 300 

flight hours (FHs) in service or within 

55 FHs after the effective date of the AD, 

whichever occurs later. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent failure of 

the HP fuel pump, which could result 

in damage to the engine and damage to 

the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 22, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov and follow 

the instructions for sending your 

comments electronically. 

• Mail: Docket Management Facility, 

U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., West Building 

Ground Floor, Room W12–140, 

Washington, DC 20590–0001. 

• Hand Delivery: Deliver to Mail 

address above between 9 a.m. and 5 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. 

• Fax: 202–493–2251.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

We invite you to send any written 

relevant data, views, or arguments about 

this proposed AD. Send your comments 

to an address listed under the 

ADDRESSES section. Include ‘‘Docket No. 

FAA–2014–0179; Directorate Identifier 

2014–NE–03–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 based on 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 with FAA 

personnel concerning this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA AD 2013– 

0279, dated November 26, 2013 

(referred to hereinafter as ‘‘the MCAI’’), 

to correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

In-flight shut down occurrences have been 

reported on aeroplanes equipped with TAE 

125–02 engines. The initial results of the 

investigations showed that abnormal high 

wear of the high pressure fuel pumps was the 

probable cause of the engine failure. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in further cases of engine power loss 

events and consequent potential loss of 

control of the aeroplane. 

We are proposing this AD to prevent 

damage to the engine and damage to the 

aircraft. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket on the Internet at 

http://www.regulations.gov by searching 

for and locating it in Docket No. FAA– 

2014–0179. 

Relevant Service Information 

Technify Motors GmbH has issued 

Service Bulletin No. TM TAE 125–1017 

P1, Revision 1, dated September 20, 

2013. The service information describes 

procedures for removing and replacing 

the HP fuel pump. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of Germany, and 

is approved for operation in the United 

States. Pursuant to our bilateral 

agreement with the European 

Community, EASA has notified us of 

the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all 

information provided by EASA and 

determined the unsafe condition exists 

and is likely to exist or develop on other 

products of the same type design. This 

proposed AD would require removal of 

each affected HP fuel pump. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 160 engines installed on 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 1 hour 

per engine to comply with this proposed 

AD. The average labor rate is $85 per 

hour. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of the proposed AD on 

U.S. operators to be $13,600. 

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
