SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On May 18, 2015, we issued 

Emergency AD 2015–10–51, which 

requires incorporating an operational 

limitation into the Limitations section of 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 115 / Tuesday, June 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 34257 

the airplane flight manual (AFM) or 

airplane flight manual supplement 

(AFMS). This emergency AD was sent 

previously to all known U.S. owners 

and operators of all aircraft that 

incorporate Avidyne Corporation 

(Avidyne) Integrated Flight Displays 

(IFDs) part number (P/N) 700–00083-() 

loaded with software release 9.3.1.0 or 

earlier release (referred to as Model 

R9—10 inch), P/N 700–00171-() loaded 

with software release 9.2.5.0 or earlier 

release (referred to as Model R9—12 

inch), and P/N 700–00182-() loaded 

with software release 10.0.3.0 or earlier 

release (referred to as Model IFD540). 

This action was prompted by reports 

of Avidyne IFDs displaying incorrect 

course deviation indication information 

during GPS approaches (incorrect 

display of lateral deviations). This 

condition occurs when the airplane is 

flying in certain approaches, the leg to 

the Final Approach Fix (FAF) is active, 

and the leg to the FAF is not aligned 

with the final approach course (i.e., an 

angled entry to the FAF). The software 

of the Avidyne IFDs as referenced above 

will produce lateral deviations to the 

final approach course as soon as the leg 

to the FAF becomes active. Therefore, 

when the leg does not align with the 

final approach course, the course 

deviation indicator (CDI) will show a 

deviation when, in fact, the aircraft is on 

the proper course for the active leg. This 

could result in the pilot making flight 

decisions that put the aircraft in unsafe 

flight conditions, flying into airspace 

that was, by the GPS approach design, 

to be avoided (terrain, obstacle, traffic, 

restricted). 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing 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. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires incorporating an 

operational limitation into the 

Limitations section of the airplane flight 

manual (AFM) or airplane flight manual 

supplement (AFMS). The operational 

limitation will contain the following: 

• Flying a full procedure (non Vectorto-Final) GPS approach, with a course 

change at the Final Approach Fix (FAF), 

is prohibited.’’ 

• ‘‘Flying a GPS approach, with a 

Direct-To or with an Omni-Bearing 

Selector (OBS) leg to the FAF, is 

prohibited.’’ 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because of the Avidyne IFDs 

displaying incorrect course deviation 

indication information during GPS 

approaches (incorrect display of lateral 

deviations), which could result in the 

pilot making flight decisions that put 

the aircraft in unsafe flight conditions, 

flying into airspace that was, by the GPS 

approach design, to be avoided (terrain, 

obstacle, traffic, restricted). Therefore, 

we find that notice and opportunity for 

prior public comment are impracticable 

and that good cause exists for making 

this amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include Docket Number FAA– 

2015–2191 and Directorate Identifier 

2015–CE–015–AD at the beginning of 

your comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this AD. We will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may amend this AD because of 

those comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 324 

products installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Incorporate operational limitations into the Limitations 

section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) or airplane flight manual supplement.

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 

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, 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.

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/

Air Transport Association (ATA) of America 

Code: 34, Navigation. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

Avidyne IFDs displaying incorrect course 

deviation indication information during GPS 

approaches (incorrect display of lateral 

deviations). This condition occurs when the 

airplane is flying in certain approaches, the 

leg to the Final Approach Fix (FAF) is active, 

and the leg to the FAF is not aligned with 

the final approach course (i.e., an angled 

entry to the FAF). The software of the 

Avidyne IFDs as referenced above in the 

Applicability section, paragraph (c) of this 

AD, will produce lateral deviations to the 

final approach course as soon as the leg to 

the FAF becomes active. Therefore, when the 

leg does not align with the final approach 

course, the course deviation indicator (CDI) 

will show a deviation when, in fact, the 

aircraft is on the proper course for the active 

leg. We are issuing this AD to prevent such 

incorrect display of lateral deviations, which 

could result in the pilot making flight 

decisions that put the aircraft in unsafe flight 

conditions, flying into airspace that was, by 

the GPS approach design, to be avoided 

(terrain, obstacle, traffic, restricted). 

(f) Compliance 

Unless already done, comply with 

paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of this AD, 

including all subparagraphs. 

(g) Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) or 

Airplane Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS) 

Limitation 

(1) Before further flight after July 1, 2015 

to all persons except those persons to whom 

it was made immediately effective by 

Emergency AD 2015–10–51, issued on May 

18, 2015, which contained the requirements 

of this amendment, incorporate the 

operational limitations listed in paragraphs 

(g)(1)(i) and (g)(1)(ii) of this AD into the 

Limitations section of the AFM or AFMS, as 

applicable. This can be done by inserting a 

copy of this AD into the Limitations section 

of the AFM or AFMS. 

(i) ‘‘Flying a full procedure (non Vector-toFinal) GPS approach, with a course change 

at the Final Approach Fix (FAF), is 

prohibited.’’ 

(ii) ‘‘Flying a GPS approach, with a DirectTo or with an Omni-Bearing Selector (OBS) 

leg to the FAF, is prohibited.’’ 

(2) This action may be done by an owner/ 

operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot 

certificate and must be entered into the 

airplane records showing compliance with 

this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 

43.9(a)(1)(4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The 

record must be maintained as required by 14 

CFR 91.173 or 135.439. 

(3) Paragraphs (g)(3)(i) and (g)(3)(ii) of this 

AD provides examples of prohibited and 

allowed GPS approach per paragraph (g)(1)(i) 

of this AD: 

(i) An example of a prohibited GPS 

approach per paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this AD 

can be found at: http://aeronav.faa.gov/dtpp/1505/05597r25.pdf.

software is installed that is different than that 

referenced in paragraph (c) Applicability of 

this AD. 

(h) Special Flight Permit 

Under 14 CFR 39.23, special flight permits 

are prohibited for this AD. 

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, Boston Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the
