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 for proper sealant 

of the left and right pylon firewall 

structures, and corrective actions if 

necessary. This AD results from reports 

of missing sealant on the left and right 

pylon firewall structures. We are issuing 

this AD to detect and correct missing 

sealant on the left and right pylon 

firewall structures, which, in the event 

of an engine fire, could result in flames 

penetrating the seams in the firewall 

between the engine and the aft fuselage, 

and a subsequent uncontrolled fire in 

the aft fuselage. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 14, 

2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of March 14, 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 was 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 1, 2010 (75 FR 60669). That 

NPRM proposed to require a detailed 

inspection for proper sealant of the left 

and right pylon firewall structures, and 

corrective actions if necessary. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM 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 for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 165 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD:

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.

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 airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

2011–03–12 Hawker Beechcraft 

Corporation (Type Certificate Previously 

Held by Raytheon Aircraft Company; 

Beech Aircraft Corporation): 

Amendment 39–16596; Docket No. 

FAA–2010–0954; Directorate Identifier 

2010–NM–078–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This AD is effective March 14, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Hawker Beechcraft 

Corporation (Type Certificate previously held 

by Raytheon Aircraft Company; Beech 

Aircraft Corporation) airplanes, certificated 

in any category; as identified in paragraphs 

(c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD. 

(1) Model 400A airplanes having serial 

numbers RK–337 through RK–484, RK–486 

through RK–570 inclusive, RK–572, RK–573, 

and RK–575 through RK–577 inclusive. 

(2) Model 400T airplane having serial 

number TX–13. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 54: Nacelles/Pylons. 

Unsafe Condition 

(e) This AD results from reports of missing 

sealant on the left and right pylon firewall 

structures. The Federal Aviation 

Administration is issuing this AD to detect 

and correct missing sealant on the left and 

right pylon firewall structures, which, in the 

event of an engine fire, could result in flames 

penetrating the seams in the firewall between 

the engine and the aft fuselage, and a 

subsequent uncontrolled fire in the aft 

fuselage. 

Compliance 

(f) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Inspection and Corrective Action 

(g) Within 200 flight hours or 12 months 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first: Do a detailed inspection for 

appropriate coverage of firewall sealant of the 

left and right pylon firewall structure, as 

specified in the figures of Hawker Beechcraft 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 54–3946, 

Revision 2, dated February 2010, and all 

applicable corrective actions; in accordance 

with the Accomplishment Instructions of 

Hawker Beechcraft Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB 54–3946, Revision 2, dated 

February 2010. Do all applicable corrective 

actions before further flight. 

Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a 

detailed inspection is: ‘‘An intensive 

examination of a specific item, installation, 

or assembly to detect damage, failure, or 

irregularity. Available lighting is normally 

supplemented with a direct source of good 

lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. 

Inspection aids such as mirror, magnifying 

lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface 

cleaning and elaborate procedures may be 

required.’’

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing

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 

installing new fire handle shutoff 

system wiring. This AD was prompted 

by a possible latent failure in the fire 

handle shutoff relay circuit due to a lack 

of separation between engine wires. We 

are issuing this AD to minimize the 

possibility of a multiple engine 

shutdown due to single fire handle 

activation. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 14, 

2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD

part 39 to include an airworthiness

specified products. That NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Explanation of Change Made to the AD 

We have revised this AD to identify 

the legal name of the manufacturer as 

published in the most recent type 

certificate data sheet for the affected 

airplane models. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the change described previously. 

We also determined that this change 

will not increase the economic burden 

on any operator or increase the scope of 

the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

25 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.
