the airplane or its occupants, or it meets 

the requirement of § 25.1309(b). 

7. It must be shown that the inflatable 

lapbelt will not impede rapid egress of 

occupants 10 seconds after its 

deployment. 

8. The system must be protected from 

lightning and high intensity 

radiomagnetic fields (HIRF). The threats 

specified in existing regulations 

regarding lightning, § 25.1316, and 

existing HIRF special conditions for the 

Boeing Model 717–200 series airplanes, 

Special Conditions No. 25–ANM–60, are 

incorporated by reference for the 

purpose of measuring lightning and 

HIRF protection. 

9. Inflatable lapbelts, once deployed, 

must not adversely affect the emergency 

lighting system (e.g., block proximity 

lights to the extent that the lights no 

longer meet their intended function). 

10. The inflatable lapbelt must 

function properly after loss of normal 

aircraft electrical power, and after a 

transverse separation of the fuselage at 

the most critical location. A separation 

at the location of the lapbelt does not 

have to be considered. 

11. It must be shown that the 

inflatable lapbelt will not release 

hazardous quantities of gas or 

particulate matter into the cabin. 

12. The inflatable lapbelt installation 

must be protected from the effects of fire 

such that no hazard to occupants will 

result. 

13. There must be a means for a crew 

member to verify the integrity of the 

inflatable lapbelt activation system prior 

to each flight, or it must be 

demonstrated to reliably operate 

between inspection intervals. The FAA 

considers the loss of the airbag system 

deployment function alone (i.e., 

independent of the conditional event 

that requires the airbag system 

deployment) to be a major failure 

condition. 

14. The inflatable material may not 

have an average burn rate of greater than 

2.5 inches/minute when tested using the 

horizontal flammability test as defined 

in 14 CFR part 25, appendix F, part I, 

paragraph (b)(5).

Airworthiness Directives; Hawker

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (Type 

Certificate Previously Held by Raytheon 

Aircraft Company) Model BAe.125 

Series 800A (including C–29A and U– 

125), and 800B airplanes; and Model 

Hawker 800 (including variant U–125A) 

and 800XP airplanes modified in 

accordance with a certain winglet 

supplemental type certificate. This AD 

requires revising the Limitations section 

of the airplane flight manual (AFM) and 

installing placards on the instrument 

panel. This AD was prompted by reports 

of several instances of severe vibration 

and wing/aileron oscillations. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent vibration and 

wing/aileron oscillations, which could 

cause structural damage or lead to 

divergent flutter, and result in loss of 

integrity of the wing, loss of control of 

the airplane, and in-flight breakup. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 2, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of July 2, 2013. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by August 1, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion 

We have received reports of several 

instances of severe vibration and wing/ 

aileron oscillation due to lack of 

sufficient flutter margin with winglets 

installed. This condition, if not 

corrected, could cause structural 

damage or lead to divergent flutter, and 

result in loss of integrity of the wing, 

loss of control of the airplane, and inflight breakup. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Aviation Partners 

Service Bulletin SBH–13–001, Revision 

A, dated May 3, 2013. The service 

information describes procedures for 

revising the Limitations section of the 

AFM to include an altitude restriction, 

and installing placards on the 

instrument panel. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing 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.

AD Requirements 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions specified in the service 

information described previously. 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD interim action. 

Aviation Partners Inc. is currently 

developing a modification that will 

address the unsafe condition identified 

in this AD. Once this modification is 

developed, approved, and available, we 

may consider additional rulemaking. 

The modification is expected to remove 

the altitude restriction. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because severe vibration and wing/ 

aileron oscillations could cause 

structural damage or lead to divergent 

flutter, and result in loss of integrity of 

the wing, loss of control of the airplane, 

and in-flight breakup. Therefore, we 

find that notice and opportunity for 

prior public comment are impracticable 

and that good cause exists for making 

this amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include the docket number 

FAA–2013–0462 and Directorate 

Identifier 2013–NM–092–AD at the 

beginning of your comments. We 

specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this 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 AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 102 

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.

Placard Installation ................. 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......................................... 10 95 9,690 

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.
