Airworthiness Directives; Ontic

Propeller Governors, Part Numbers 

C210776, T210761, D210760, and 

J210761 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

serial numbers (S/Ns) of Ontic 

Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. 

propeller governors, part numbers (P/ 

Ns) C210776, T210761, D210760, and 

J210761. This AD requires removal of 

the affected propeller governors from 

service. This AD results from three 

reports received of failed propeller 

governors. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent loss of propeller pitch control, 

damage to the propeller governor, and 

internal damage to the engine, which 

could prevent continued safe flight or 

safe landing. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

August 5, 2010. The Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in the regulations as 

of August 5, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with 

a proposed AD. The proposed AD 

applies to certain S/Ns of Ontic 

Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. 

propeller governors, P/Ns C210776, 

T210761, D210760, and J210761. We 

published the proposed AD in the 

Federal Register on March 15, 2010 (75 

FR 12148). That action proposed to 

require removal of the affected propeller 

governors from service. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains this AD, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is provided in the 

ADDRESSES section. Comments will be 

available in the AD docket shortly after 

receipt. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We received no 

comments on the proposal or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data and determined that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

45 propeller governors installed on 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about four 

work-hours per airplane to perform the 

actions, and that the average labor rate 

is $85 per work-hour. Required repair 

parts will cost about $842 per propeller 

governor. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. 

operators to be $83,790. Our cost 

estimate is exclusive of possible 

warranty coverage. 

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); and 

(3) 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. 

We prepared a summary of the costs 

to comply with this AD and placed it in 

the AD Docket. You may get a copy of 

this summary at the address listed 

under ADDRESSES.

Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

It has been evidenced by test that the 

tightening torque settings on the Rolls-Royce 

Trent 500 and Trent 700 forward (FWD) and 

aft (AFT) engine mount link pin retention 

bolts have always been higher than the 

design value. These bolts retain the washers 

that maintain the engine mount vertical load 

pins in position. 

If bolts, as a consequence of the overtorque, fail and move away, it would lead to 

loss of the vertical load pins, which could 

result in loss of the primary and/or secondary 

load path of the forward and/or aft engine 

mount which could potentially lead to 

engine separation. 

* * * * * 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

August 5, 2010. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of August 5, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on March 4, 2010 (75 FR 9809). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

It has been evidenced by test that the 

tightening torque settings on the Rolls-Royce 

Trent 500 and Trent 700 forward (FWD) and 

aft (AFT) engine mount link pin retention 

bolts have always been higher than the 

design value. These bolts retain the washers 

that maintain the engine mount vertical load 

pins in position. 

If bolts, as a consequence of the overtorque, fail and move away, it would lead to 

loss of the vertical load pins, which could 

result in loss of the primary and/or secondary 

load path of the forward and/or aft engine
