AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) 

that applies to the products listed above. 

The existing AD currently requires 

repetitively inspecting the elevator 

control tabs for discrepancies and, if any 

discrepancies are found, taking 

necessary corrective actions to bring all 

discrepancies within acceptable 

tolerances. The existing AD also 

requires reporting certain inspection 

results to the FAA. Since we issued that 

AD, we determined that we 

inadvertently omitted certain airplanes 

from the Applicability section. This 

proposed AD would retain the actions 

currently required in AD 2011–05–02 

and remove the Supplemental Type 

Certificate (STC) SA01059SE condition 

in the Applicability section. We are 

proposing this AD to add new repetitive 

inspections of the elevator control tabs. 

If these inspections are not done, 

excessive free-play in the elevator 

control tabs could develop. This 

condition could lead to loss of tab 

control linkage and severe elevator 

flutter. Such elevator flutter could lead 

to possible loss of control. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 25, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:

Discussion 

On February 15, 2011, we issued AD 

2011–05–02, Amendment 39–16611 (76 

FR 10220, February 24, 2011), for 

certain Viking Air Limited (Type 

Certificate No. A–815 formerly held by 

Bombardier Inc. and de Havilland, Inc.) 

Model DHC–3 airplanes. That AD 

requires repetitively inspecting the 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS

34012 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 112 / Friday, June 10, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

elevator control tabs for discrepancies 

and, if any discrepancies are found, 

taking necessary corrective actions to 

bring all discrepancies within 

acceptable tolerances. That AD also 

requires reporting certain inspection 

results to the FAA. That AD resulted 

from an evaluation of revisions to the 

manufacturer’s maintenance manual 

that adds new repetitive inspections of 

the elevator control tabs. To require 

compliance with these inspections for 

U.S. owners and operators we mandated 

the inspections through the rulemaking 

process. We issued that AD to add new 

repetitive inspections of the elevator 

control tabs. If these inspections are not 

done, excessive free-play in the elevator 

control tabs could develop. This 

condition could lead to loss of tab 

control linkage and severe elevator 

flutter. Such elevator flutter could lead 

to possible loss of control. 

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued 

Since we issued AD 2011–05–02, we 

determined that we inadvertently 

omitted certain airplanes from the 

Applicability section. The current 

Applicability section includes Model 

DHC–3 airplanes, all serial numbers, 

that do not have the new elevator servo 

tab and redundant control linkage 

installed according to Supplemental 

Type Certificate (STC) No. SA01059SE 

and that are certificated in any category. 

The actions currently required in AD 

2011–05–02 were intended for all Model 

DHC–3 airplanes regardless if the 

installation of the redundant linkage 

was done according to Supplemental 

Type Certificate (STC) SA01059SE. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would retain all of 

the requirements of AD 2011–05–02. 

This proposed AD would add airplanes 

to the applicability statement of the 

existing AD by removing the STC 

SA01059SE condition. 

Interim Action 

We are continuing to evaluate the 

cause of the unsafe condition identified 

in this proposed AD to enable us to 

obtain better insight into the nature, 

cause, and extent of excessive free-play 

in the elevator control tabs. Based on 

this evaluation, we may consider further 

rulemaking. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 65 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Inspection .......... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = 

$85 per inspection cycle.

Not applicable ....................... $85 per inspection cycle ....... $5,525 per inspection cycle. 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary follow-on actions that 

would be required based on the results 

of the proposed inspection. We have no 

way of determining the number of 

airplanes that may need this repair/ 

replacement: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Minimum repair ................................ 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ............................................................ $50 $135 

Moderate repair ............................... 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ........................................................ 150 405 

Maximum repair ............................... 6 work-hours × $85 per hour = $510 ........................................................ 450 960 

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 

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 that the proposed regulation: 

(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.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 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 

removing airworthiness directive (AD) 

AD 2011–05–02, Amendment 39–16611 

(76 FR 10220, February 24, 2011), and 

adding the following new AD: 

Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate No. A– 

815 Formerly Held by Bombardier Inc. 

and de Havilland, Inc.): Docket No. 

FAA–2011–0597; Directorate Identifier 

2011–CE–019–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) The FAA must receive comments on 

this AD action by July 25, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) This AD supersedes AD 2011–05–02, 

Amendment 39–16611. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Viking Air Limited 

(type certificate No. A–815 formerly held by 

Bombardier Inc. and de Havilland, Inc.) 

Model DHC–3 airplanes, all serial numbers, 

that are certificated in any category. 

Subject 

(d) Joint Aircraft System Component

Unsafe Condition 

(e) This AD results from an evaluation of 

revisions to the manufacturer’s maintenance 

manual that adds new repetitive inspections 

to the elevator control tabs. To require 

compliance with these inspections for U.S. 

owners and operators we are mandating these 

inspections through the rulemaking process. 

We are issuing this AD to add new repetitive 

inspections of the elevator control tabs. If 

these inspections are not done, excessive 

free-play in the elevator control tabs could 

develop. This condition could lead to loss of 

tab control linkage and severe elevator 

flutter. Such elevator flutter could lead to 

possible loss of control.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

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: 

The emergency water dump pulley support 

bracket assembly, Part Number (P/N) 215– 

94711–2, has been found cracked or broken 

on a number of aeroplanes. Failure of the 

emergency water dump pulley support 

bracket assembly in combination with other 

system failures such as an engine failure 

during take off or pitch control system jam, 

may result in a loss of control of the 

aeroplane. 

* * * * * 

The proposed AD would require 

actions that are intended to address the 

unsafe condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 25, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:
