Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2016 / Proposed Rules 17111 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by May 12, 

2016. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all serial numbers of the 

airplanes listed in table 1 of paragraph (c) of 

this AD, that are: 

(1) Equipped with a BRP-Powertrain GmbH 

& Co KG (formerly Rotax Aircraft Engines) 

912 A series engine with a part number (P/ 

N) 413235 or 413236 cylinder head installed 

in position 2 or 3; and 

(2) certificated in any category.

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 72: Engine—Reciprocating. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by design change 

of the engine cylinder head temperature 

sensor without a concurrent revision of the 

engine model designation, the engine part 

number, or the cockpit indication to the 

pilot. The sensor now measures the coolant 

temperature rather than the cylinder head 

temperature. If the engine coolant 

temperature with a maximum engine 

operating limit of 120 °C is displayed on a 

Cylinder Head Temperature indicator with a 

typical limit marking greater than 120 °C, the 

pilot will be unable to identify coolant 

temperature limit exceedances. This could 

result in loss of coolant, which could cause 

an inflight engine shutdown and forced 

landing. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions: 

(1) Within 6 months after the effective date 

of this AD, for engines with cylinder heads 

listed in paragraph (c)(1) of this AD installed 

on both position 2 and position 3, change the 

engine model designation on the engine type 

data plate to include a ‘‘–01’’ suffix following 

paragraph 3.1.1) of the Accomplishment/

Instructions in Rotax Aircraft Engines BRP 

Service Bulletin SB–912–068 and SB–914– 

049 (co-published as one document), dated 

April 16, 2015. 

(2) Within 6 months after the effective date 

of this AD, for engines with only one 

cylinder head listed paragraph (c)(1) of this 

AD installed in a position 2 or 3, in order to 

keep such cylinder installed, you must 

replace the cylinder head installed on the 

unchanged position (2 or 3, as applicable) 

with a cylinder head having a P/N listed in 

paragraph (c)(1) of this AD, and change the 

engine model designation on the engine type 

data plate to include a ‘‘–01’’ suffix following 

paragraph 3.1.1) of the Accomplishment/

Instructions in Rotax Aircraft Engines BRP 

Service Bulletin SB–912–068 and SB–914– 

049 (co-published as one document), dated 

April 16, 2015. 

(3) Before further flight after doing the 

required actions in paragraphs (f)(1) or (f)(2) 

of this AD as applicable, modify the aircraft 

and related documentation to indicate a 

Maximum Coolant Temperature limit of 120 

°C using FAA-approved procedures. 

(i) Such procedures can be found by 

contacting your aircraft type certificate 

holder or the FAA contact specified in 

paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. The service 

documents referenced in paragraph (h) of this 

AD are examples of FAA-approved 

procedures for the applicable aircraft. 

(ii) These re-identified engines remain 

eligible for installation on approved aircraftengine combinations. 

(4) As of the effective date of this AD, do 

not install any other P/N cylinder head 

unless that installation is done following 

approved instructions provided by BRPPowertrain at the address provided in 

paragraph (h) of this AD. 

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to 

ATTN: Jim Rutherford, Aerospace Engineer, 

FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, 

Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; 

telephone: (816) 329–4165; fax: (816) 329– 

4090; email: jim.rutherford@faa.gov. Before 

using any approved AMOC on any airplane 

to which the AMOC applies, notify your 

appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the 

FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), 

or lacking a PI, your local FSDO. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service.

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,

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 would 

remove Class D airspace at North Air 

Force Auxiliary Field, North, SC.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.9Z, airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 6, 2015, and effective 

September 15, 2015. FAA Order 

7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this document. 

FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B, C, 

D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to remove 

Class D airspace at North Air Force 

Auxiliary Field, North, SC. The air 

traffic control tower is no longer in use. 

Therefore, the airspace is no longer 

necessary. 

Class D airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (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 


Lhorne on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2016 / Proposed Rules 17113 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal would be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

The Proposed Amendment: 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as 

follows:
