Airworthiness Directives; 

Przedsiebiorstwo DoswiadczalnoProdukcyjne Szybownictwa ‘‘PZLBielsko’’ Model SZD–50–3 ‘‘Puchacz’’ 

Sailplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Przedsiebiorstwo DoswiadczalnoProdukcyjne Szybownictwa ‘‘PZLBielsko’’ Model SZD–50–3 ‘‘Puchacz’’ 

sailplanes that would supersede AD 

2004–11–10. 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 fatigue damage of the 

welded joint between the airbrake 

torque tube and the airbrake control 

system lever located inside the fuselage. 

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 May 9, 2014.

Discussion 

On May 27, 2004, we issued AD 

2004–11–10, Amendment 39–13656 (69 

FR 31872; June 8, 2004). That AD 

required actions intended to address an 

unsafe condition on Przedsiebiorstwo 

Doswiadczalno-Produkcyjne 

Szybownictwa ‘‘PZL-Bielsko’’ Model 

SZD–50–3 ‘‘Puchacz’’ sailplanes. 

Since we issued AD 2004–11–10 (69 

FR 31872; June 8, 2004), service 

information has been introduced that 

identifies new inspection and 

replacement requirements on the 

airbrake torque tube and the airbrake 

control system lever. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA AD No.: 

2014–0015, dated January 14, 2014 

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

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

Several occurrences of airbrake torque tube 

failure were reported on SZD–50–3 

‘‘Puchacz’’ sailplanes. In all cases, as a result 

of disruption of the welded joint between 

torque tube and the lever, the broken torque 

tube detached from the lever located in the 

fuselage. The result of subsequent 

investigations identified fatigue damage, as a 

consequence of periodical striking load 

exceeding the established maximum value, to 

be a possible failure cause. Additionally, 

corrosion damage was identified at internal 

surface of the opened tube. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, would inhibit the function of the 

airbrake, possibly resulting in reduced 

control of the sailplane. 

Prompted by these findings, Allstar PZL 

issued Service Bulletin (SB) No. BE–052/ 

SZD–50–3/2003 to provide inspection 

instructions. CAO of Poland issued AD SP– 

0052–2003–A to require a one-time 

inspection of the airbrake torque tube in the 

area of welded joint in accordance with that 

SB. 

Since that AD was issued, Allstar PZL 

issued SB No. BE–062/SZD–50–3/2013 to 

introduce repetitive inspections and 

accomplishment instructions for reinforced 

torque tube inspections. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

supersedes CAO of Poland AD SP–0052– 

2003–A and requires repetitive inspections of 

the airbrake torque tube and, depending on 

findings, replacement with a serviceable part. 

You may examine the MCAI on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2014–0180. 

Relevant Service Information 

Allstar PZL Glider has issued Allstar 

PZL Glider Sp. Z o.o. Mandatory Service 

Bulletin No. BE–062/SZD–50–3/2013 

‘‘Puchacz’’, dated September 16, 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 57 / Tuesday, March 25, 2014 / Proposed Rules 16249 

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 

will affect 5 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 5 hours for the proposed annual 

inspection of sailplanes equipped with 

the old version torque tube; 1 hour for 

the proposed annual inspection of 

sailplanes equipped with the new 

version torque tube; and 5 hours for the 

proposed 1,000-hour annual inspection 

of sailplanes equipped with the new 

version torque tube. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 5 work-hours and require parts 

costing $875, for a cost of $1,300 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

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 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

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. Amend § 39.13 by removing 

Amendment 39–13656 (69 FR 31872, 

June 8, 2004), and adding the following 

new AD: 

Przedsiebiorstwo DoswiadczalnoProdukcyjne Szybownictwa ‘‘PZLBielsko’’: Docket No. FAA–2014–0180; 

Directorate Identifier 2014–CE–004–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by May 9, 

2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD supersedes AD 2004–11–10, 

Amendment 39–13656 (69 FR 31872, June 8, 

2004). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Przedsiebiorstwo 

Doswiadczalno-Produkcyjne Szybownictwa
