Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream 

Aerospace LP (Type Certificate 

Previously Held by Israel Aircraft 

Industries, Ltd.) Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2010–11– 

02 for all Gulfstream Aerospace LP 

(Type Certificate Previously Held by 

Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd.) Model 

Gulfstream 100 airplanes, and Model 

Astra SPX and 1125 Westwind Astra 

airplanes. AD 2010–11–02 required 

amending the airplane flight manuals 

(AFMs) to include additional 

procedures for verifying complete 

closure and locking of the main entry 

door (MED). AD 2010–11–02 also 

required modifying the warning and 

caution lights panel (WACLP), changing 

the WACLP and MED wiring, changing 

the wiring harness connecting the MED 

to the WACLP, and revising the log of 

modification of the AFM if necessary. 

This new AD revises the compliance 

time and removes an airplane from the 

applicability. This AD was prompted by 

a report of a MED opening in flight on 

an unmodified airplane. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent incomplete closure of 

the MED, which may result in the door 

opening in flight and possible 

separation of the door, causing damage 

to the airplane structure and left engine 

by flying debris and objects. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

September 10, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of September 10, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain other publications listed in 

this AD as of June 25, 2010 (75 FR

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. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on February 26, 2013 (78 FR 

12995), and proposed to supersede AD 

2010–11–02, Amendment 39–16307 (75 

FR 28485, May 21, 2010), which 

superseded AD 2007–03–05, 

Amendment 39–14916 (72 FR 4414, 

January 31, 2007). The NPRM proposed 

to correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The Civil Aviation 

Authority of Israel (CAAI), which is the 

aviation authority for Israel, has issued 

Israeli Airworthiness Directive 31–06– 

11–05R1, dated May 18, 2011 (referred 

to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

To increase pilots’ awareness to the 

possibility of incomplete closure of the Main 

Entry Door (MED) by the following means: 

1. Splitting the common caution light 

CABIN DOOR signaling both MED Improper 

Closure and MED Inflatable Seal Failure into 

two separate lights: CABIN DOOR and 

CABIN DOOR SEAL. 

2. Converting the separated CABIN DOOR 

Caution light into a Warning light by 

changing its color to red. 

NOTE: Airplane Flight Manuals (AFM’S) 

refer to these changes as MOD G1–20052. 

Incomplete closure of the MED may be 

followed by in-flight opening and possible 

separation of the door. As a result, the MED, 

the adjacent fuselage structure and other 

parts of the aircraft may be damaged due to 

opening forces and landing impact. 

Damage to the aircraft structure and to the 

left engine by flying debris and objects may 

also occur. 

* * * * * 

This AD retains the actions required 

by AD 2010–11–02, Amendment 39– 

16307 (75 FR 28485, May 21, 2010). 

This AD limits the existing compliance 

time. This AD also removes the airplane 

having serial number (S/N) 158 from the 

applicability because the modification 

was done in production. You may 

obtain further information by examining 

the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (78 

FR 12995, February 26, 2013) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 

12995, February 26, 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 12995, 

February 26, 2013). 

Costs of Compliance 

The new requirements of this AD add 

no additional economic burden. The 

current costs for this AD are repeated for 

the convenience of affected operators, as 

follows: 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

about 160 products of U.S. registry. 

The actions that were required by AD 

2010–11–02, Amendment 39–16307 (75 

FR 28485, May 21, 2010), and retained 

in this AD take about 60 work-hours per 

product, at an average labor rate of $85 

per work-hour. Required parts cost 

about $600 per product. Based on these 

figures, the estimated cost of the actions 

required by this AD is $5,700 per 

product. 

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 determined that this AD will not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

not have a substantial direct effect on 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 6, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 47547 

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 the 

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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

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

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2000–06– 

13 R1, which applied to certain The 

Boeing Company Model 737–200, 

–200C, –300, and –400 series airplanes. 

AD 2000–06–13 R1 required repetitively 

inspecting for cracking of the corners of 

the door frame and the cross beams of 

the aft cargo door, and corrective actions 

if necessary. AD 2000–06–13 R1 also 

required modifying the aft cargo door, 

which terminates the repetitive 

inspections. This new AD adds 

airplanes to the applicability, adds 

inspections and related investigative 

and corrective actions, revises certain 

inspection types, and reduces a certain 

compliance time for modifying the 

doors. This AD was prompted by reports 

of cracking in the forward and aft corner 

frames of the aft cargo door and in the 

lower cross beam. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent fatigue cracking of the 

corners of the door frame and the cross 

beams of the aft cargo door, which could 

result in rapid depressurization of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective September 

10, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of September 10, 2013.
