ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Model P– 

180 airplanes. This proposed AD results 

from 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 insufficient clearance 

between one of the horizontal stabilizer 

end ribs and the corresponding elevator 

horn. We are issuing this proposed AD 

to require actions to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by January 6, 2014.

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued AD No. 2013– 

0239, dated September 30, 2013 

(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to 

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

Insufficient clearance between one of the 

horizontal stabilizer end rib and the 

corresponding elevator horn was found on an 

in-service aeroplane. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could lead to interference between 

the elevator and horizontal stabilizer 

surfaces, resulting in restricted elevator 

control and consequent reduced control of 

the aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Piaggio Aero Industries (PAI) issued Service 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 20, 2013 / Proposed Rules 69601 

Bulletin (SB) 80–0381 to provide inspection 

instructions. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires accomplishment of a one-time 

measurement of the actual clearance between 

the elevator horn and the horizontal 

stabilizer tip rib, and depending on findings, 

restoration of the required minimum 

clearance value. This AD also requires 

reporting of the inspection result to PAI. 

You may examine the MCAI on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating it in 

Docket No. FAA–2013–0964. 

Relevant Service Information 

Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. has 

issued Mandatory Service Bulletin No.: 

80–0381, Rev. 0, dated May 2, 2013. The 

actions described in this service 

information are intended to correct the 

unsafe condition identified in the 

MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, they have 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 and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 112 products of U. S. 

registry. We also estimate that it would 

take about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $9,520, or $85 per 

product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 5 work-hours and require parts 

costing $50, for a cost of $475 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

A federal agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, nor shall a person be subject 

to penalty for failure to comply with a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act unless that collection of 

information displays a current valid 

OMB control number. The control 

number for the collection of information 

required by this AD is 2120–0056. The 

paperwork cost associated with this AD 

has been detailed in the Costs of 

Compliance section of this document 

and includes time for reviewing 

instructions, as well as completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

Therefore, all reporting associated with 

this AD is mandatory. Comments 

concerning the accuracy of this burden 

and suggestions for reducing the burden 

should be directed to the FAA at 800 

Independence Ave. SW., Washington, 

DC 20591. ATTN: Information 

Collection Clearance Officer, AES–200. 

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 proposed 

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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference,

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 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: 

Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A: Docket No. 

FAA–2013–0964; Directorate Identifier 

2013–CE–035–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by January 6, 

2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Piaggio Aero Industries 

S.p.A Model P–180 airplanes, manufacturer 

serial numbers 1002 and 1004 through 1231, 

certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 27: Flight Controls. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by results from 

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 insufficient clearance between 

one of the horizontal stabilizer end ribs and 

the corresponding elevator horn. We are 

issuing this proposed AD to detect and 

correct insufficient clearance between one of 

the horizontal stabilizer end rib and the 

corresponding elevator horn, which could 

result in interference between the elevator 

and horizontal stabilizer surfaces, 

consequently resulting in restricted elevator 

control and reduced control of the airplane. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions as specified in paragraphs (f)(1) 

through (f)(3) of this AD: 

(1) Within 200 hours time-in service (TIS) 

after the effective date of this AD or 12 

months after the effective date of this AD, 

whichever occurs first, measure the 

clearances between the horns of the elevator 

and the end ribs of the horizontal stabilizer 

(HS) on left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) 

sides following Part A of the 

Accomplishment Instructions section of 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1

Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Mandatory 

Service Bulletin No.: 80–0381, Rev. 0, dated 

May 2, 2013. 

(2) If the clearance is less than 5 mm on 

HS LH or RH side during the measurement 

as required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, 

before further flight, rework the affected 

elevator to restore the required minimum 

clearance between the horn of the elevator 

and the end rib of the horizontal stabilizer 

following Part B of the Accomplishment 

Instructions section of Piaggio Aero 

Industries S.p.A. Mandatory Service Bulletin 

No.: 80–0381, Rev. 0, dated May 2, 2013. 

(3) Within 30 days after accomplishment of 

the measurement as required by paragraph 

(f)(1) of this AD, report the results to Piaggio 

Aero Industries S.p.A. following Part C of the 

Accomplishment Instructions section of 

Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Mandatory 

Service Bulletin No.: 80–0381, Rev. 0, dated 

May 2, 2013.
