Under the Freedom of Information Act 

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

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

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 NPRM, 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 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Penelope Trease, 

Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600

designated as CBI will be placed in the 

public docket for this rulemaking. 

Background 

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), 

which is the airworthiness authority for 

the United Kingdom (UK), has issued 

CAA UK AD G–2022–0017, dated 

September 20, 2022 (also referred to as 

the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition on all Britten-Norman Aircraft 

Ltd. Model BN2 series Islander 

airplanes; and Model BN2A Mark III 

Trislander airplanes. The MCAI states 

that there have been occurrences of 

flight control restriction in pitch during 

the pilot’s full and free flight control 

checks prior to take-off. Investigations 

into these occurrences revealed 

interference between the routing of the 

Koiled Kord, flight control cables, and 

control column, which could restrict the 

full and free movement of the flight 

controls. An incorrectly routed Koiled 

Kord could snag the rudder pedal 

adjustment cable, draw it towards the 

control column tube where it could snag 

the aileron control stop, and restrict 

movement of the control column tube. 

This increased load on the rudder pedal 

adjustment cable could unlock the 

adjustment mechanism, permitting the 

rudder pedals to freely move forward 

and aft. One of the investigations also 

revealed that a correctly routed Koiled 

Kord was entangled with an incorrectly 

routed rudder pedal adjustment cable, 

which resulted in snagging the aileron 

control stop. In order to address this 

condition, the MCAI requires an 

inspection using Britten-Norman 

Service Bulletin SB 398, Issue 2, dated 

May 30, 2022 (Britten-Norman SB 398, 

Issue 2), to ensure the Koiled Kord is 

correctly routed behind the instrument 

panel and that the rudder pedal 

adjustment cable and Koiled Kord are 

not interfering with each other. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address this unsafe condition. 

Interference between the Koiled Kord, 

flight control cables, and the control 

column, if not addressed, could result in 

loss of control of the airplane during 

flight. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2024–0044. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Britten-Norman 

SB 398, Issue 2, which specifies 

procedures for inspecting the cable 

routing behind the instrument panel to 

determine if the cables and wiring to the 

instrument panel, wiring in the 

surrounding area, the rudder pedal 

adjuster cable, and the Koiled Kord are 

routed securely and there is clearance to 

allow full and free movement of the 

flight controls, and if interference is 

found, securely tying the cables so they 

are clear of the control column for its 

full range of motion. 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. 

FAA’s Determination 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and service 

information referenced above. The FAA 

is issuing this NPRM after determining 

that the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other products of the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the MCAI except as discussed under 

‘‘Differences Between this Proposed AD 

and the MCAI.’’ 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

the MCAI 

The MCAI specifies that if any 

interference is found during the 

inspection for interference between the 

control column, rudder pedal adjuster 

cable, and any wiring (including the 

Koiled Kord) while performing a flight 

control full and free movement check, 

complete the operator feedback form in 

Appendix A of Britten-Norman SB 398, 

Issue 2, and return it to Britten-Norman 

Aircraft, Ltd. That action would not be 

required by this proposed AD.

6454 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 22 / Thursday, February 1, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 72 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Inspect for interference and full and free 

movement.

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ................. $0 $85 $6,120 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary actions that 

would be required based on the results 

of the proposed inspection. The agency 

has no way of determining the number 

of airplanes that might need these 

actions: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Correct Koiled Kord cable routing ................................. Up to 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 .................. $0 Up to $255. 

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 

The FAA determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation
