AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

serial number (S/N) Lycoming Engines 

reciprocating engines. This AD was 

prompted by propeller governor shaft 

set screws coming loose due to 

improper installation. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent the propeller 

governor shaft set screw from coming 

loose, causing damage to the engine and 

damage to the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 11, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of March 11, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain S/N Lycoming Engines 

reciprocating engines. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 11, 2014 (79 FR 54218). The 

NPRM was prompted by events of 

propeller governor shaft set screws 

coming loose due to improper 

installation. If the set screws come 

loose, the engine may lose oil resulting 

in damage to the engine and damage to 

the airplane. The NPRM proposed to 

require application of Loctite 290, or 

equivalent, to the threads of the 

propeller governor shaft set screw at 

each installation of the set screw in 

addition to the peening of crankcase 

hole threads. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent the propeller governor shaft set 

screw from coming loose, causing 

damage to the engine and damage to the 

airplane. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 54218, September 11, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

We did however; find that we 

directed the use of LocTite 290, a 

commercial product by brand name. We 

changed the AD to remove the 

requirement to use any particular brand 

like LocTite 290, from this AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed. 

Related Service Information 

We reviewed Lycoming Engines 

Service Instruction No. 1343B, dated 

June 15, 2007. The service instruction 

describes procedures for application of 

sealant for the propeller governor shaft 

set screw and the peening of crankcase 

hole threads. You can find this 

information at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2014– 

0540. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

about 2,330 engines installed on 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 0.1 hours 

per engine to comply with this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per hour. 

Prorated parts life will cost about $1 per 

engine. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators to be $22,135. 

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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
5906 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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 to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, 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.

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

2015–02–07 Lycoming Engines (Type 

Certificate previously held by Textron 

Lycoming Division, AVCO Corporation): 

Amendment 39–18074; Docket No. 

FAA–2014–0540; Directorate Identifier 

2014–NE–10–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective March 11, 2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Lycoming Engines 

wide deck aerobatic reciprocating engines 

that have either an ‘‘A’’ or an ‘‘E’’ at the end 

of the serial number (e.g., L–12345–51A, or 

L–12345–51E) and are equipped with a frontmounted propeller governor. Affected 

reciprocating engine models include, but are 

not limited to Lycoming Engines AEIO–320– 

D1B; AEIO–360–A1E, –A1E6, –B1H, –H1B; 

AEIO–540–D4A5, –D4B5, –D4D5, –L1B5, 

–L1B5D, –L1D5; AEIO–580–B1A; and IO– 

540–K1K5 (with aerobatic kit installed). 

(d) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by propeller 

governor shaft set screws coming loose due 

to improper installation. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent the propeller governor shaft 

set screw from coming loose, causing damage 

to the engine and damage to the airplane. 

(e) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

After the effective date of this AD, at each 

installation of the propeller governor shaft set 

screw, secure the set screw in place in 

accordance with the instructions of 

Lycoming Engines Service Instruction No. 

1343B, dated June 15, 2007. Use a threadlocking, anaerobic, single-component sealing 

compound that meets military specification 

Mil–S–46163A, Type III, Grade R, and peen 

the crankcase hole threads. 

(f) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

The Manager, New York Aircraft 

Certification Office, FAA, may approve 

AMOCs to this AD. Use the procedures found 

in 14 CFR 39.19 to make your request.
