‘‘machined-from-billet’’ Volare LLC 

(formerly Precision Airmotive 

Corporation, formerly Facet Aerospace 

Products Company, formerly MarvelSchebler (BorgWarner)) HA–6 

carburetors, inspecting for a loose 

mixture control sleeve or for a sleeve 

that may become loose, repairing the 

carburetor, or replacing the carburetor 

with one eligible for installation. This 

proposed AD was prompted by a report 

of a ‘‘machined-from-billet’’ HA–6 

carburetor having a loose mixture 

control sleeve that rotated in the 

carburetor body causing restriction of 

fuel and power loss. We are proposing 

this AD to prevent engine in-flight 

shutdown, power loss, and reduced 

control of the airplane.

Discussion 

Volare Carburetors, LLC recently 

informed us of an airplane experiencing 

power loss. Volare reported that the 

airplane engine’s carburetor, formerly 

known as a Precision Airmotive 

‘‘machined-from-billet’’ HA–6 

carburetor, had a loose mixture control 

sleeve that rotated in the carburetor 

body. That rotation restricted fuel flow 

and caused power loss. Volare also 

reported that the sleeve rotation was a 

manufacturing defect. 

In 2008, a similar power loss event 

occurred. At that time, the manufacturer 

recovered five carburetors, which 

represented all known discrepant 

carburetors. With this recent failure, 

however, the population of five affected 

carburetors is too small, and must be 

expanded. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in in-flight shutdown or power 

loss, possibly resulting in reduced 

control of the airplane. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Marvel-Schebler Aircraft 

Carburetors LLC Emergency Service 

Bulletin (SB) No. SB–18, dated October 

14, 2010. The SB identifies the affected 

population of HA–6 carburetors. 

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 require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously, except as discussed under 

‘‘Differences Between the Proposed AD 

and the Service Information.’’ 

Differences Between the Proposed AD 

and the Service Information 

This proposed AD has a compliance 

time of within 50 flight hours after the 

effective date of the AD. The MarvelSchebler Aircraft Carburetors LLC 

Emergency SB No. SB–18, dated 

October 14, 2010, has a compliance time 

of before further flight. 

This proposed AD would not require 

returning the carburetor to the 

manufacturer. The SB does. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 10,700 engines installed on 

aircraft of U.S. registry. We also estimate 

that it would take about 0.5 work-hour 

per aircraft to perform the proposed 

inspection, and that about 409 

carburetors would need repair. 

Approximately 2 work-hours per 

carburetor are required to repair the 

carburetor. The average labor rate is $85 

per work-hour. Required parts would 

cost about $600 per carburetor. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of the 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$769,680. 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 170 / Thursday, September 1, 2011 / Proposed Rules 54399 

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, 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety.
