**Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Airplanes** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

**SUMMARY :**  We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company Model 500, 501, 550, 551, S550, 560, and 650 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of smoke and/or fire in the tailcone caused by sparking due to excessive wear of the brushes in the air conditioning (A/C) motor. This proposed AD would require inspections to determine if certain A/C compressor motors are installed and to determine the accumulated hours on certain A/C compressor motor assemblies; and repetitive replacement of the brushes in the A/C compressor motor assembly, or, as an option to the brush replacement, deactivation of the A/C system and placard installation; and return of replaced brushes to Cessna. We are proposing this AD to prevent the brushes in the A/C motor from wearing down beyond their limits, which could result in the rivet in the brush contacting the commutator, causing sparks and consequent fire and/or smoke in the tailcone with no means to detect or extinguish the fire and/or smoke.

**DATES :**  We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 9, 2015.

Discussion

We have received reports of smoke/ fire (three reports of fire) in the tailcone of Cessna Aircraft Company Model 525, 550, and 560 airplanes, where investigation revealed brushes had worn


### 3517 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 15 / Friday, January 23, 2015 / Proposed Rules

beyond their limits on the part number (P/N) 1134104–1 A/C compressor motors. The motor assembly is located in the airplane tailcone where flammable fluids in the form of fuel lines and hydraulics are present. There is no fire detection or extinguishing system in the tailcone. We are proposing this AD to prevent the brushes in the air conditioning motor from wearing down beyond their limits, which could result in the rivet in the brush contacting the commutator, causing sparks and consequent fire and/or smoke in the tailcone with no means to detect or extinguish the fire and/or smoke.

The subject part, P/N 1134104–1 A/C compressor motors, might also be installed on Model 500, 501, 551, S550, and 650 airplanes. Therefore, those Model 500, 501, 551, S550, and 650 airplanes might be subject to the unsafe condition revealed on Model 525, 550, and 560 airplanes.

Related ADs

AD 2013–09–11, Amendment 39– 17453 (78 FR 32349, May 30, 2013), was issued for certain Cessna Aircraft Company Model 500, 501, 550, 551, S550, 560, 560XL, and 650 airplanes. AD 2013–09–11 requires inspecting to determine if certain A/C compressor motors are installed and to determine the accumulated hours on certain A/C compressor motor assemblies; and repetitive replacement of the brushes in the A/C compressor motor assembly, or, as an option to the brush replacement, deactivation of the A/C system and placard installation; and return of replaced brushes to Cessna.

After AD 2013–09–11, Amendment 39–17453 (78 FR 32349, May 30, 2013), was published the FAA received several questions asking if AD 2013–09–11 is applicable to airplanes having an air conditioning system installed via any of the following Fort Worth Airworks supplemental type certificates (STCs):

_Library/ rgstc.nsf/0/5FAD7ABA3EAA464 C86257C1A0069F239?OpenDocument &Highlight=sa8918sw ). The A/C compressor motor part numbers installed via these STCs are the same as in AD 2013–09–11, except the prefix ‘‘FWA’’ has been added to the part numbers of the A/C compressor motor installed via the STCs (FWA1134104–1 or FWA1134104–5).

Based on a discussion between the FAA and Cessna, we determined that AD 2013–09–11, Amendment 39–17453 (78 FR 32349, May 30, 2013), should also apply to A/C compressor motor airplanes with P/N FWA1134104–1 or P/N FWA1134104–5 installed. Instead of superseding AD 2013–09–11 to add these airplanes to the applicability, the FAA is issuing this new proposed AD applicable only to airplanes with P/N FWA1134104–1 or P/N FWA1134104–5 installed.

Cessna Model 560XL airplanes are not included in the applicability of this proposed AD because the Fort Worth Airworks STCs identified previously are not installed on that airplane model.

AD 2013–08–05, Amendment 39– 17422 (78 FR 24343, April 25, 2013), addresses the same unsafe condition that prompted this proposed AD. AD 2013–08–05 is applicable to Cessna Aircraft Company Model 525 airplanes. The Fort Worth Airworks STCs referenced above do not apply to the Cessna Model 525 airplanes; therefore, this proposed AD does not affect AD
2013–08–05.

After AD 2013–08–05, Amendment 39–17422 (78 FR 24343, April 25, 2013); and AD 2013–09–11, Amendment 39– 17453 (78 FR 32349, May 30, 2013); were published, the FAA determined that there are some airplanes on which the air conditioning motor system had been installed via the Fort Worth Airworks STCs mentioned previously, and an A/C compressor hour meter was not part of the type design. To assist in future compliance with this proposed AD, an A/C compressor hour meter may be installed. The installation can be done using Cessna Service Letter CIL– 21–02, dated January 23, 2014, or by a method approved by the FAA.

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 these same type designs. Proposed AD Requirements

This proposed AD would require an inspection to determine if certain A/C compressor motors are installed; an inspection of the A/C compressor hour meter for certain A/C compressor motors to determine the number of hours accumulated on the motors; and repetitive replacement of the brushes in the A/C compressor motor assembly, or optional deactivation of the A/C system and installation of a placard prohibiting use of the A/C system until replacement of the brushes. This proposed AD would also require, when the brushes are replaced, reporting aircraft information related to the replacement of the brushes and sending the replaced motor brushes to Cessna Aircraft Company for two replacement cycles.

Interim Action

We consider this proposed AD interim action. The reporting data required by this proposed AD will enable us to obtain better insight into brush wear. The reporting data will also indicate if the replacement intervals we established are adequate. After we analyze the reporting data received, we might consider further rulemaking. Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this proposed AD affects 333 airplanes of U.S. registry.

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 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

**Federal Aviation Administration**

**14 CFR Part 39**

**[Docket No. FAA–2014–1051; Directorate Identifier 2014–NM–171–AD]** 

**RIN 2120–AA64**

**Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

**SUMMARY :**  We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports that on airplanes equipped with sharklets, discretes (used to activate the load alleviation function) are connected on various flight computers using the same ground point. In these cases, the ground point segregation is no longer effective and a single failure could lead to loss of sharklet identification by flight computers causing a return to the wing tip fence (no sharklet configuration) performance. This proposed AD would require modification of the sharklet ground connection. We are proposing this AD to prevent loss of sharklet identification by the flight computers and subsequent reduced control of the airplane.

**DATES :**  We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 9, 2015.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
