SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We received a report from Piper that 

some rivets installed through the 

fuselage skin at the cockpit area during 

manufacture are below the minimum 

required strength on certain Model PA– 

46–600TP (M600) airplanes. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result 

in failure of the skin joint resulting in 

loss of pressurization or fuselage 

structural failure. We are issuing this 

AD to correct the unsafe condition on 

these products. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Piper Aircraft, Inc. 

Service Bulletin No. 1318B, dated June 

7, 2018. The service bulletin describes 

procedures for incorporating temporary 

airspeed limitations into the pilot’s 

operating handbook (POH) and 

fabricating and installing an airspeed 

limitations placard on the airplane until 

an inspection is completed and a 

minimum of 16 specific rivets are 

replaced. The service bulletin also 

describes procedures for the inspection 

of the rivets on the cockpit canopy 

above the left and right cockpit side 

window and the replacement of the 

rivets. This service information is 

reasonably available because the 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 10, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 31851 

interested parties have access to it 

through their normal course of business 

or by the means identified in the 

ADDRESSES section. 

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 inserting temporary 

airspeed limitations into the POH, 

installing a temporary placard with the 

airspeed limitations in the cockpit, 

inspecting the rivets on the cockpit 

canopy above the left and right cockpit 

side windows, and installing a repair kit 

based on the findings of the inspection. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD without providing an opportunity 

for public comments prior to adoption. 

The FAA has found that the risk to the 

flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because undersized and 

understrength rivets through the 

fuselage skin at the cockpit area could 

result in failure of the skin joint, which 

could result in loss of pressurization or 

fuselage structural failure. Therefore, we 

find good cause that notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

are impracticable. In addition, for the 

reason stated above, we find 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 final rule. Send your comments to 

an address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include the docket number 

FAA–2018–0606 and product identifier 

2018–CE–018–AD at the beginning of 

your comments. 

We specifically invite comments on 

the overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this final rule. We will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may amend this final rule 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 final rule. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 31 

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. 

operators 

Insert airspeed limitations into the POH and 

install an airspeed temporary placard.

.5 work-hour × $85 per hour = $42.50 ......... Not applicable .... $42.50 $1,317.50 

Inspect the size of the cockpit side window 

rivets.

2 work-hours (1 work-hour on each side) × 

$85 per hour = $170.

Not applicable .... 170 5,270 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacements that would 

be required based on the results of the 

inspection. Each airplane would require 

one of the kits on each side based on the 

inspection. We have presented what the 

cost on U.S. operators would be for each 

kit on both sides even though each 

airplane would have one of the two kits 

on each side and could have different 

kits on each side. This would make the 

total cost on U.S. operators significantly 

less, but we have no way of determining 

how many would require each kit. 

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Replace rivets using Rivet Replacement 

Kit, Piper part number P/N 88623–701.

16 work-hours (8 work-hours each side) × 

$85 per hour = $1,360.

$6 ($3 each side) .... $1,366 $42,346 

Replace rivets using Rivet Replacement 

Kit, Piper part number P/N 88624–701.

60 work-hours (30 work-hours each side) 

× $85 per hour = $5,100.

244 ($122 each 

side).

5,344 165,664 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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. 

This AD is issued in accordance with 

authority delegated by the Executive 

Director, Aircraft Certification Service, 

as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. 

In accordance with that order, issuance 

of ADs is normally a function of the 

Compliance and Airworthiness 

Division, but during this transition 

period, the Executive Director has 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
31852 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 10, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

delegated the authority to issue ADs 

applicable to small airplanes, gliders, 

balloons, airships, domestic business jet 

transport airplanes, and associated 

appliances to the Director of the Policy 

and Innovation Division. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends 

Class D and Class E airspace at Phillips 

AAF, Aberdeen, MD, to support IFR 

operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 16259, April 16, 2018) 

for Docket No. FAA–2018–0128 to 

amend Class D airspace, Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

Class D surface area, and Class E 

airspace area extending upward from 

700 feet or more above the surface at 

Phillips Army Air Field, Aberdeen, MD. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments

Phillips AAF were incorrect. This action 

corrects that error.

are published in paragraph 5000, 6004, 

and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, and

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order.
