SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

Honda Aircraft Company LLC has 

informed us that several required 

maintenance tasks driven by system 

safety assessment requirements were 

inadvertently omitted from or listed 

incorrectly in the airworthiness 

limitations section of the Honda Aircraft 

Company, Inc. Model HA–420 ALIM 

with a revision level prior to Revision 

C1 and dated earlier than May 1, 2018. 

Additional airworthiness limitations, 

additional maintenance tasks for various 

systems, and reduced compliance times 

for existing maintenance tasks are 

necessary to maintain all airplanes in a 

condition for safe operation. 

In addition, we determined that some 

airplanes may have exceeded the new 

maintenance intervals once the ALIM 

was revised, including but not limited 

to: 

1. Latent failure mode of the Wing 

Anti-Ice Crossflow Valve (WAIXV): This 

condition would prevent the opening of 

the WAIXV when commanded and 

could result in loss of control of the 

airplane if one bleed air source becomes 

unavailable while operating in icing 

conditions. An existing ice protection 

system check would identify this 

condition; however, the system check 

was not located in the airworthiness 

limitations section of the ALIM. The 

revised ALIM relocates the system 

check to the airworthiness limitations 

section and reduces the system check 

intervals from 600 hours time-in-service 

(TIS) to 300 hours TIS. 

2. Latent failures in the brake and 

emergency accumulators: The hydraulic 

power system check for identifying and 

correcting potential latent failures in the 

brake and emergency accumulators 

contained incorrect procedures and was 

not located in the airworthiness 

limitations section of the ALIM. Honda 

corrected these procedures and 

superseded the current procedures 

(¥801) with the new procedures 

(¥802). The revised ALIM lists the 

correct procedures for the hydraulic 

power system check and relocates this 

check to the airworthiness limitations 

section. 

These conditions, if not addressed, 

could result in failures in various 

airplane systems, including but not 

limited to the hydraulic and ice 

protection systems, which could result 

in loss of control of the airplane. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Honda Aircraft 

Company HA–420 Airworthiness 

Limitation and Inspection Manual 

‘‘Airworthiness Limitations— 

Inspection/Check’’ (Airworthiness 

Limitations section 05–60–00), dated 

May 1, 2018. The service information 

contains airworthiness limitations, 

additional maintenance tasks for various 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
38658 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 152 / Tuesday, August 7, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

systems, and reduced compliance times 

for existing maintenance tasks, 

including but not limited to the 

hydraulic and ice protection systems. 

This service information is reasonably 

available because the 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 revising the 

airworthiness limitations section of the 

maintenance program by replacing 

Airworthiness Limitations section 05– 

60–00 with an issue date earlier than 

May 1, 2018, with the revised 

Airworthiness Limitations section 05– 

60–00, dated May 1, 2018. Incorporating 

these airworthiness limitations makes 

them mandatory (reference 14 CFR 

43.16 and 14 CFR 91.403(c)). For 

airplanes that have exceeded the new 

maintenance intervals, compliance with 

replacement times or inspection 

intervals is required before further flight 

once the limitations are incorporated. 

Operators have the compliance time 

period of the AD to plan for any 

immediate maintenance action required 

by the new limitations. This includes, 

but is not limited to the following: 

• The 600-hour TIS ice protection 

system check, AMM Task Reference 30– 

10–01–700–801, previously located in 

the Scheduled Inspections section 05– 

20–00, has been relocated to the 

Airworthiness Limitations section 05– 

60–00, and reduced to a 300-hour TIS 

interval. Airplanes that have exceeded 

300 hours TIS since the ice protection 

system check was last performed must 

have the ice protection system check 

within the compliance time specified in 

paragraph (f) of the AD. This AD allows 

a credit for airplanes that had the 

system check at the previous 600-hour 

TIS interval but have not exceeded 300 

hours TIS since the last check and the 

WAIXV passed the functionality check 

contained in the procedure. 

• The 600-hour TIS hydraulic power 

system check, AMM Task Reference 29– 

00–01–700–801, previously located in 

the Scheduled Inspections section 05– 

20–00, has been relocated to the 

Airworthiness Limitations section 05– 

60–00, and revised to AMM Task 

Reference 29–00–01–700–802. 

Airplanes that had the system check per 

the previous incorrect version of the 

maintenance task (29–00–01–700–801) 

at 600 hours TIS must have the 

inspection done before further flight 

after incorporating the airworthiness 

limitations. 

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 exceeding certain 

maintenance intervals and/or 

limitations could cause failures in 

various airplane systems, including but 

not limited to the hydraulic and ice 

protection systems, which could result 

in loss of control. Therefore, we find 

good cause that notice and opportunity 

for prior public comment are 

impracticable. In addition, for the 

reasons 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–2018–0688 and Product Identifier 

2018–CE–026–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 96 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD:

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 

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 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 152 / Tuesday, August 7, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 38659 

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.

immediate alternative routes for vessels 

unable to pass through the bridges in 

their closed positions. The Coast Guard 

will also inform the users of the 

waterways through our Local and 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the 

change in operating schedules for these 

bridges so that vessel operators can 

arrange their transits to minimize any 

impact caused by the temporary 

deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

these drawbridges must return to their 

regular operating schedules 

immediately at the end of the effective
