AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for Kaman 

Model K–1200 helicopters with certain 

main rotor blades (MRB) installed. This 

proposed AD would require inspecting 

each MRB for a crack or damage. This 

proposed AD is prompted by a report 

that a crack was found on an MRB 

during a tear-down inspection. The 

proposed actions are intended to detect 

a crack in the MRB, which could lead 

to failure of the MRB and subsequent 

loss of control of the helicopter. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by December 2, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Docket: Go to

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. We may change this 

proposal in light of the comments we 

receive. 

Discussion 

We are proposing to adopt a new AD 

for Kaman Model K–1200 helicopters 

with an MRB, part number (P/N) 

K911001–009, K911001–010, K911001– 

109, or K911001–110, installed. We 

received reports that during x-ray and 

teardown inspections with the MRB 

removed from the helicopter, cracks are 

being found in the MRB spar. To detect 

this unsafe condition, we are proposing 

requiring repetitive x-ray and visual 

inspections of the MRB for a crack, 

wood split, void, or delamination at 

intervals not exceeding 1,000 hours 

time-in-service (TIS). If there is a crack, 

wood split, void, or delamination, the 

proposed AD would require repairing or 

replacing the MRB before further flight. 

The proposed AD would also require 

that any inspection or repair procedure 

performed in compliance with this AD 

receive prior approval from the Boston 

Aircraft Certification Office. The 

proposed actions are intended to detect 

a crack in the MRB, which could lead 

to failure of the MRB and subsequent 

loss of control of the helicopter. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all known relevant 

information and determined that an 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other products of 

these same type designs. 

Related Service Information 

We reviewed Kaman Maintenance 

Manual 04–00–00, Continued 

Airworthiness, Revision 31, dated 

August 1, 2013, which establishes the 

airworthiness limitations for the Model 

K–1200 helicopter. The airworthiness 

limitations establish an MRB life limit 

of 8,000 hours TIS and also establish a 

recurring 1,000 hour Rotor Blade Spar 

Inspection for each MRB with 3,000 or 

more hours TIS. 

We also reviewed Kaman 

Maintenance Manual 05–20–06, 1,000 

Hour Rotor Blade Spar Inspection, 

Revision 31, dated August 1, 2013, 

which specifies returning each MRB to 

Kaman every 1,000 hours for inspection 

after the MRB accumulates 3,000 hours 

TIS. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

performing repetitive X-Ray and visual 

inspections of each wooden MRB for a 

crack, wood split, void, or delamination 

at intervals not exceeding 1,000 hours 

TIS. If there is a crack, wood split, void, 

or delamination, the proposed AD 

would require repairing or replacing the 

MRB before further flight. The 

inspections and repairs required by the 

proposed AD would be accomplished by 

a method approved by the Manager of 

the Boston Aircraft Certification Office. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 11 helicopters of U.S. 

Registry. 

We estimate that operators may incur 

the following costs in order to comply 

with this proposed AD. At an average 

labor cost of $85 per hour, inspecting 

each matched pair of main rotor blades 

would require about 160 work-hours 

and required parts would cost about 

$2,000, for a cost per MRB set of 

$15,600 and a cost per helicopter of 

$31,200 per inspection cycle. If 

required, repairing a cracked MRB 

would require about 335 work-hours 

and required parts would cost about 

$15,000, for a cost per MRB of $43,475. 

If required, replacing a MRB set would 

require about 4 work-hours, and 

required parts would cost about 

$495,000, for a cost per helicopter of 

$495,340. 

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, 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 to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction; 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. 

We prepared an economic evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.
