Airworthiness Directives; Lycoming 

Engines Reciprocating Engines (Type 

Certificate Previously Held by Textron 

Lycoming Division, AVCO Corporation) 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Lycoming TIO–540–AJ1A reciprocating 

engines. This proposed AD was 

prompted by several reports of cracked 

engine exhaust pipes. This proposed AD 

would require inspection of the engine 

exhaust pipes for cracks and 

replacement of the turbocharger 

mounting bracket. We are proposing this 

AD to prevent failure of the exhaust 

system due to cracking, which could 

lead to uncontrolled engine fire, 

harmful exhaust gases entering the 

cabin resulting in crew incapacitation, 

and damage to the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by April 3, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

5490 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 21 / Monday, February 2, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this NPRM. 

Discussion 

We issued Special Airworthiness 

Information Bulletin (SAIB) CE–04–22 

on December 17, 2003. The SAIB 

recommended pre-flight and repetitive 

inspection of exhaust system 

components for signs of cracking. This 

NPRM was prompted by additional 

reports of exhaust pipe cracking. 

Probable causes of exhaust pipe cracks 

are questionable exhaust pipe welds or 

misalignment of the exhaust pipe during 

installation. Additionally, nonconforming turbocharger mounting 

brackets were found during Lycoming 

engine assembly trials of new engine 

exhaust pipes. These out-of-tolerance 

mounting brackets may place stresses on 

exhaust system components. Taken 

alone, or in combination, these 

conditions may overstress certain 

exhaust pipe locations and cause cracks 

to develop. With the presence of cracks, 

hot exhaust gases collect in the engine 

compartment and carbon monoxide gas 

is now able to enter the airplane cabin. 

The conditions identified above, if not 

corrected, could result in uncontrolled 

engine fire, harmful exhaust gases 

entering the cabin resulting in crew 

incapacitation, and damage to the 

airplane. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Lycoming Engines 

Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. 

614A, dated October 10, 2014. The MSB 

describes procedures for exhaust system 

inspection and turbocharger mounting 

bracket replacement. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this NPRM 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 NPRM would require inspection 

of the exhaust system and replacement 

of the turbocharger mounting bracket. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect about 111 engines installed 

on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 8 hours 

per engine to comply with this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per hour. Parts 

replacement will cost about $6,782 per 

engine. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this proposed AD on 

U.S. operators to be $828,282. Our cost 

estimate is exclusive of possible 

warranty coverage. 

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 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) 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 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.
