Airworthiness Directives; WACO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation 

Models 2T–1A, 2T–1A–1, and 2T–1A–2 

airplanes. This AD requires inspection 

of the front and rear horizontal stabilizer 

spar assemblies with replacement of 

parts as necessary. This AD was 

prompted by cracking of the horizontal 

stabilizer spars, which could lead to 

failure of the horizontal spars with 

consequent loss of control. We are 

issuing this AD to correct the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 20, 

2012. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of June 20, 2012. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by July 20, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

In the last two years, there have been 

three incidents of horizontal stabilizer 

failure on WACO Classic Aircraft 

Corporation Models 2T–1A, 2T–1A–1, 

and 2T–1A–2 airplanes. Cracks 

originated from around the 

circumference of the right stabilizer 

front spar and, in one incident, the 

stabilizer separated from the aircraft. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in failure of the horizontal 

stabilizer spars with consequent loss of 

control. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed WACO Classic Aircraft 

Corporation, Great Lakes Aircraft, 

Service Bulletin No. SB–GL12–01R, 

Revision IR, dated January 25, 2012. The 

service information describes 

procedures for inspecting the front and 

rear horizontal stabilizer spar 

assemblies with replacement as 

necessary. 

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 inspecting the front 

and rear horizontal stabilizer spar 

assemblies with replacement of parts as 

necessary. The AD also requires sending 

the initial inspection results to the 

Chicago ACO. 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD interim action. 

After evaluating the inspection results, 

we may take further AD action. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because failure of the horizontal 

stabilizer spars could result in loss of 

control. Therefore, we find that notice 

and opportunity for prior public 

comment are impracticable and 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 AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include the docket number 

FAA–2012–0578 and Directorate 

Identifier 2012–CE–019–AD at the 

beginning of your comments. We 

specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD 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 AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 134 

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 front and rear horizontal 

stabilizer spar assemblies.

4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ....... Not applicable ........... $340 $45,560 

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: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Replacement of the front and rear spar stabilizer assembly parts (accumulative cost for all four spar assemblies).92 work-hours × $85 per hour = 

7,820.

$2,200 $10,020 

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 

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.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of the adoption of new 

or revised criteria, or because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, adding new 

obstacles, or changing air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective June 5, 

2012. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of June 5, 

2012.
