SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) Model PA– 

46–350P, PA–46–500TP, and PA–46– 

600TP airplanes. This AD was prompted 

by a report that a bearing fell out of a 

control column mount during routine 

handling prior to installation in an 

affected airplane and the discovery that 

a quality escape condition could exist 

on other airplanes. This AD requires 

inspecting the left and right control 

column mounts to determine if a 

retaining ring is installed. If a retaining 

ring is not installed, this AD requires 

inspecting the bearing in the mount 

block for the presence of retaining 

compound, and depending on the 

inspection results, installing a retaining 

ring and applying retaining compound 

to the bearing, as applicable. The FAA 

is issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective December 

19, 2023. 

The Director of the Federal Register

actually treated as private by its owner. 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this AD contain 

commercial or financial information 

that is customarily treated as private, 

that you actually treat as private, and 

that is relevant or responsive to this AD, 

it is important that you clearly designate 

the submitted comments as CBI. Please 

mark each page of your submission 

containing CBI as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA 

will treat such marked submissions as 

confidential under the FOIA, and they 

will not be placed in the public docket 

of this AD. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Tuan Tran, Aviation 

Safety Engineer, FAA, 1701 Columbia 

Avenue, College Park, GA 30337. Any 

commentary that the FAA receives 

which is not specifically designated as 

CBI will be placed in the public docket 

for this rulemaking. 

Background 

On November 15, 2023, the FAA 

received a report that a bearing fell out 

of a control column mount during 

routine handling, prior to installation on 

a Piper Model PA–46–600TP airplane. 

To conform to the type design, this 

bearing is installed in the mount block 

using a retaining compound into a 

recess in the control column mount 

with secondary retention provided by a 

retaining ring. Piper’s investigation into 

this incident revealed that the retaining 

ring was not installed. If the bearing is 

not secure due to the absence of the 

retaining ring the quadrant assembly 

and shaft could migrate aft and separate 

from the firewall attachment, creating a 

free end on the affected control column. 

With a free end on the control column, 

combined with other factors, the aileron 

cables could become slack, resulting in 

loss of aileron control, and it could also 

bind the free operation of the elevator 

control system. Slack aileron cables and 

binding of the elevator controls would 

affect both the pilot and copilot 

controls. On November 17, 2023, further 

investigation by Piper into this situation 

found a quality escape issue on certain 

Piper Model PA–46–350P, PA–46– 

500TP, and PA–46–600TP airplanes 

where the possibility exists that the 

retaining ring was not installed during 

production or retaining compound was 

not applied to the bearing. A missing 

retaining ring in a control column 

mount, if not addressed, could lead to 

a major failure in the aileron quadrant 

assembly and result in loss of pitch and 

roll control of the airplane during flight 

with consequent loss of control of the 

airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

FAA’s Determination 

The FAA is issuing this AD because 

the agency has determined the unsafe 

condition described previously is likely 

to exist or develop in other products of 

the same type design. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Piper Service 

Bulletin No. 1409A, dated November 21, 

2023 (Piper SB 1409A). This service 

information specifies procedures for 

inspecting the left and right control 

column mounts to determine if a 

retaining ring is installed, inspecting the 

bearing in the mount block for the 

presence of retaining compound, 

installing a retaining ring, and applying 

retaining compound to the bearing. 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 ADDRESSES. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions identified as ‘‘RC’’ (required for 

compliance) in Part III. of the 

Instructions in Piper SB 1409A. 

Justification for Immediate Adoption 

and Determination of the Effective Date 

Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies 

to dispense with notice and comment 

procedures for rules when the agency, 

for ‘‘good cause,’’ finds that those 

procedures are ‘‘impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ Under this section, an agency, 

upon finding good cause, may issue a 

final rule without providing notice and 

seeking comment prior to issuance. 

Further, section 553(d) of the APA 

authorizes agencies to make rules 

effective in less than thirty days, upon 

a finding of good cause. 

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 forgoing notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because a missing retaining ring in 

a control column mount, if not 

addressed, could lead to a major failure 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 239 / Thursday, December 14, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 86573 

in the aileron quadrant assembly 

without warning and result in loss of 

pitch and roll control of the airplane 

during flight with consequent loss of 

control of the airplane. Because this 

could happen without warning, the left 

and right control column mounts must 

be inspected before further flight to 

determine if the retaining ring is 

missing. Accordingly, notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

are impracticable and contrary to the 

public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B). 

In addition, the FAA finds that good 

cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) 

for making this amendment effective in 

less than 30 days, for the same reasons 

the FAA found good cause to forgo 

notice and comment. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) do not apply when 

an agency finds good cause pursuant to 

5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without 

prior notice and comment. Because FAA 

has determined that it has good cause to 

adopt this rule without prior notice and 

comment, RFA analysis is not required. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 57 airplanes of U.S. registry. The 

FAA estimates 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 Model PA–46–350P airplanes 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ............ $0 $255 $3,825 (15 airplanes). 

Inspection of Model PA–46–500TP and 

Model PA–46–600TP airplanes.

16 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,360 ....... 0 1,360 $57,120 (42 airplanes). 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary actions that 

would be required based on the results 

of the inspection. The agency has no 

way of determining the number of 

aircraft that might need these actions: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Installation of retaining ring .......................................... 0.50 work-hour × $85 per hour = $42.50 ..................... $10 $52.50 

Application of retaining compound ............................... 0.50 work-hour × $85 per hour = $42.50 ..................... 10 52.50 

The FAA has included all known 

costs in its cost estimate. According to 

the manufacturer, however, some of the 

costs of this AD may be covered under 

warranty, thereby reducing the cost 

impact on affected operators. 

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. 

The FAA is 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, 

and 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska.

prompted by reports of power control 

unit (PCU) rod end fractures due to 

pitting corrosion, and a determination 

that new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations are necessary. 

This AD requires, for certain airplanes, 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations. This AD also 

requires accomplishing certain aircraft 

maintenance manual (AMM) tasks and 

corrective actions following short-term 

or long-term storage. The FAA is issuing 

this AD to address the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective January 18,
