Airworthiness Directives; The New

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This document clarifies

information in Airworthiness Directive

(AD) 85–02–05, which applies to all The

New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA–20,

PA–22, PA–23, PA–24, PA–25, PA–30,

PA–31P, PA–36, PA-39, and PA–44

series airplanes. AD 85–02–05 currently

requires installing on the pilot’s

instrument panel a Piper part number

(P/N) 81090–02 placard, which provides

information for operation of the parking

brake. Piper has superseded that placard

with a P/N 683–107 placard, and

operators in need of a new placard can

only obtain the P/N 683–107 placard. In

this scenario, the owners/operators of

the affected airplanes could not comply

with AD 85–02–05 as currently written.

The P/N 683–107 placard contains the

same wording as the P/N 81090–02

placard. The actions specified in that

AD are intended to prevent airplane

controllability problems while involved

in ground operation because of

improper brake operations. This

document maintains the placard

requirement of AD 85–02–05, and adds

the installation of the P/N 683–107

placard as an option of compliance.

DATES: Effective November 21, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

AD 85–02–05, Amendment 39–4984,

currently requires the following on

Piper PA–20, PA–22, PA–23, PA–24,

PA-25, PA–30, PA–31P, PA–36, PA–39,

and PA–44 series airplanes: installing

on the pilot’s instrument panel a Piper

part number (P/N) 81090–02 placard,

which provides information for

operation of the parking brake. The

actions required by AD 85–02–05 are

intended to prevent airplane

controllability problems while involved

in ground operation because of

improper brake operations.

Need for the Correction

Piper has superseded the P/N 81090–

02 placard with a P/N 683–107 placard,

and owners/operators in need of a new

placard can only obtain the P/N 683–

107 placard. In this scenario, the

owners/operators of the affected

airplanes could not comply with AD

85–02–05 as currently written. The P/N

683–107 placard contains the same

wording as the P/N 81090–02 placard.

Correction of Publication

This document maintains the placard

requirement of AD 85–02–05, adds the

installation of the Piper P/N 683-107

placard as an option of compliance,

adds a paragraph that allows the pilot to

install the placard, adds the standard

alternative method of compliance

paragraph, and adds the AD as an

amendment to section 39.13 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

39.13).

Since this action only adds the Piper

P/N 683–107 placard as an option of

compliance, it has no adverse economic

impact and imposes no additional

burden on any person than would have

been necessary to comply with AD 85–

02–05. Therefore, the FAA has

determined that prior notice and

opportunity for public comment are

unnecessary.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, repaired, or reconfigured

in the area subject to the requirements of this

AD. For airplanes that have been modified,

altered, repaired, or reconfigured so that the

performance of the requirements of this AD

is affected, the owner/operator must request

approval for an alternative method of

compliance in accordance with paragraph (d)

of this AD. The request should include an

assessment of the effect of the modification,

alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition

addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe

condition has not been eliminated, the

request should include specific proposed

actions to address it.

Compliance: Required within 100 hours

time-in-service after March 1, 1985 (the

effective date of AD 85–02–05, Amendment

39–4984) or prior to the next flight after the

effective date of this AD, whichever occurs

later, unless already accomplished.

To prevent airplane controllability

problems while involved in ground operation

because of improper brake operations,

accomplish the following:

(a) Install one of the following in a central

location on the pilot’s instrument panel in

full view of the pilot.

(1) A Piper part number 81090–02 placard;

or

(2) A Piper part number 683–107 placard.

Note 2: The above referenced placards both

contain the following language:

‘‘Warning No Braking Will Occur if

Aircraft Brakes Are Applied While

Parking Brake Handle is Pulled and

Held’’

(b) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

(c) Installing the placard required by

paragraph (a) of this AD may be performed

by the owner/operator holding at least a

private pilot certificate as authorized by

section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 43.7), and must be

entered into the aircraft records showing

compliance with this AD in accordance with

section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 43.9).

(d) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an equivalent level of safety may be

approved by the Manager, Atlanta Aircraft

Certification Office (ACO), One Crown

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In a notice published in the Federal

Register of January 21, 1994 (59 FR

3365), FDA announced that a food

additive petition (FAP 4A4406) had

been filed by Novo Nordisk

Bioindustrials, Inc., proposing that the

food additive regulations be amended to

provide for the safe use of aspartic

proteinase enzyme preparation

produced by pure culture fermentation

of A. oryzae modified by recombinant

DNA techniques to contain the gene for

aspartic proteinase enzyme from R.

miehei for use in the production of

cheese. Although Novo Nordisk

Bioindustrials, Inc., submitted FAP

4A4406, while the petition was under

review, Gist-Brocades International B.

V. purchased the dairy enzyme business

from Novo Nordisk, at which time, the

responsibility for the petition

transferred to Gist-Brocades

International B. V.
