14 CFR Part 39 

[Docket No. FAA–2012–18033; Directorate

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna 

Aircraft Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are revising an existing 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) 

Models 190, 195 (L–126A,B,C), 195A, 

and 195B airplanes that are equipped 

with certain inboard aileron hinge 

brackets. That AD currently requires 

you to repetitively inspect the affected 

inboard aileron hinge brackets for cracks 

or corrosion and replace them if cracks 

or corrosion is found. Replacement with 

aluminum brackets would terminate the 

need for the repetitive inspections. This 

new AD retains the actions of AD 2004– 

21–08 while requiring future 

compliance following a revised service 

bulletin that clarifies the casting 

numbers and part numbers to be 

inspected. This AD was prompted by 

reports of confusion between the casting 

number on the aileron hinge bracket and 

the part number (P/N) called out in the 

AD. We are issuing this AD to correct 

the unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective May 9, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of May 9, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to revise AD 2004–21–08, 

amendment 39–13828 (69 FR 62396, 

October 26, 2004). That AD applies to 

the specified products. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 8, 2013 (78 FR 1155). That 

NPRM proposed to retain the actions of 

AD 2004–21–08 while requiring future 

compliance following a revised service 

bulletin that clarifies the casting 

numbers and part numbers to be 

inspected. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (78 

FR 1155, January 8, 2013) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. We have determined that 

these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 1155, 

January 8, 2013) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 1155, 

January 8, 2013). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 643 

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 

Inspection of the affected inboard 

aileron hinge brackets for cracks 

or corrosion.

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 Not Applicable ........... $85 643 airplanes × $85 = 

$54,655. 

The new requirements of this AD add 

no additional economic burden. 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacements that would 

be required based on the results of the 

inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these replacements:

Replacement of LH and RH brackets .......................... 6 work-hours × $85 per hour = $510 ........................... 4,101 4,611 

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 have determined that 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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. The FAA amends § 39.13 by 

removing Amendment 39–13828 (69 FR 

62396, October 26, 2004), and adding 

the following new AD: 

2004–21–08 R1 Cessna Aircraft Company: 

Amendment 39–17400; Docket No. 

FAA–2012–18033; Directorate Identifier 

2004–CE–16–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective May 9, 2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD revises AD 2004–21–08, 

Amendment 39–13828, (69 FR 62396, 

October 26, 2004). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD affects Models 190, 195 (L– 

126A,B,C), 195A, and 195B airplanes, all 

serial numbers, that are: 

(1) certificated in any category; and 

(2) equipped with at least one part number 

(P/N) 0322709 or P/N 0322709–1 inboard 

aileron hinge bracket. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/ 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of America 

Code 2710, Aileron Control System. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was first prompted by several 

reports of cracks and corrosion found on the 

magnesium aileron hinge brackets. 

Magnesium is known to be susceptible to 

corrosion. Since issuance of AD 2004–21–08 

(69 FR 62396, October 26, 2004), reports of 

confusion between the casting number on the 

aileron hinge bracket and the part number 

called out in the AD have caused us to issue 

this revision to AD 2004–21–08. We are 

issuing this AD to correct the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD at the times specified 

following the procedures in Cessna Aircraft 

Company Single Engine Service Bulletin 

SEB04–1, Revision 1, dated October 3, 2012, 

unless already done. 

(g) Credit for Actions Accomplished in 

Accordance With Previous Service 

Information 

This paragraph provides credit for the 

actions required by paragraphs (h), (i), and (j) 

of this AD, if the actions were performed 

before the effective date of this AD using 

Cessna Aircraft Company Single Engine 

Service Bulletin SEB04–1, dated April 26, 

2004. All actions performed after May 9, 

2013 (the effective date of this AD) will be 

required following Cessna Aircraft Company 

Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB04–1, 

Revision 1, dated October 3, 2012. 

(h) Inspect Each P/N 0322709 and P/N 

0322709–1 Inboard Aileron Hinge Bracket or 

Any Other Bracket Made From Magnesium 

for Cracks or Corrosion 

Within the next 100 hours time-in-service 

(TIS) after November 30, 2004 (the effective 

date retained from AD 2004–21–08, 

Amendment 39–13828 (69 FR 62396, October 

26, 2004)), and repetitively thereafter at 

intervals not to exceed 100 hours TIS until 

each bracket is replaced with aluminum, 

inspect each P/N 0322709 and P/N 0322709– 

1 inboard aileron hinge bracket or any other 

bracket made from magnesium for cracks or 

corrosion. 

(i) Replace Any Cracked or Corroded 

Inboard Aileron Hinge Bracket 

Before further flight after any inspection 

where any cracked or corroded bracket is 

found, replace any cracked or corroded 

inboard aileron hinge. 

(1) If replacement is with an FAAapproved bracket made from magnesium, do 

the 100-hour TIS interval repetitive 

inspections as required in paragraph (h) of 

this AD. 

(2) If replacement is with an FAAapproved bracket that is made from 

aluminum, then no further inspections are 

necessary. These can be Cessna parts or nonCessna parts. 

(j) Terminating Action for the Repetitive 

Inspections 

(1) As terminating action for the repetitive 

inspections, you may replace all inboard 

aileron hinge brackets with FAA-approved 

brackets that are made from aluminum (as 

specified in paragraph (i)(2) of this AD) 

regardless if any corrosion or crack is found. 

(2) You may do this replacement at any 

time, but you must replace any corroded or 

cracked bracket before further flight after the 

applicable inspection where any corrosion or 

crack is found.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

all The Boeing Company Model 737– 

600, –700, –700C, –800, –900, and 

–900ER series airplanes. That AD 

currently requires repetitive inspections 

of the aft attach lugs of the elevator tab 

control mechanisms, and replacement of 

any discrepant elevator tab control 

mechanism. This new AD requires 

replacing the left and right elevator tab 

control mechanisms with elevator tab 

control mechanisms that have the 

modified attach lugs, which would 

terminate the existing requirements. 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

failure of the aft attach lugs on the 

elevator tab control mechanisms, which 

resulted in severe elevator vibration; 

and reports of gaps in elevator tab 

control mechanisms and analysis 

indicating that additional elevator tab 

control mechanisms might have 

bearings that will come loose. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent discrepancies 

in the aft attach lugs of the elevator tab 

control mechanism, which could result 

in severe elevator and tab vibration. 

Consequent structural failure of the 

elevator or horizontal stabilizer could 

result in loss of structural integrity and 

aircraft control. 

DATES: This AD is effective May 9, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of May 9, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain other publication listed in 

this AD as of September 9, 2010 (75 FR

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain other publication listed in 

this AD as of April 29, 2010 (75 FR 

21499, April 26, 2010).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2010–17–19, 

Amendment 39–16413 (75 FR 52242, 

August 25, 2010). (That AD superseded 

AD 2010–09–05, Amendment 39–16270 

(75 FR 21499, April 26, 2010).) That AD 

applies to the specified products. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on September 20, 2012 (77 FR 

58330). That NPRM proposed to 

continue to require repetitive 

inspections of the aft attach lugs of the 

elevator tab control mechanisms, and 

replacement of any discrepant elevator 

tab control mechanism. That NPRM also 

proposed to require replacing the left 

and right elevator tab control 

mechanisms with elevator tab control 

mechanisms that have modified attach 

lugs, which would terminate the 

existing requirements. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the proposal (77 FR 58330, 

September 20, 2012) and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. Aviation
