AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC– 

24 airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

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 

insufficient performance of the fuel 

drain system that could lead to fire and 

damage of the airplane. This AD 

requires modifying the fuel drain pipe 

routing and installing a drain mast. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective February 25, 

2022. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of February 25, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain serial-numbered Pilatus 

Model PC–24 airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 8, 2021 (86 FR 56227). The 

NPRM was based on MCAI from the 

European Union Aviation Safety Agency 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 3189 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union. EASA issued AD 2020–0252, 

dated November 12, 2020 (referred to 

after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’) to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. The 

MCAI states: 

An occurrence was reported where an 

insufficient performance of the fuel drain 

system was detected on certain PC–24 

aeroplanes. 

This condition, if not corrected, could lead, 

in case of a fuel leak, to contamination of the 

inboard rear fuselage, creating a fuel vapour 

which, in combination with an ignition 

source, could possibly result in a fire and 

consequent damage to the aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Pilatus Aircraft issued the [service bulletin] 

SB providing instructions to modify the fuel 

drain pipe routing and to install a drain mast. 

For the reason described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires modification of the fuel 

drain system. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

require modifying the fuel drain pipe 

routing and installing a drain mast. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at https://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2021– 

0218. 

Comments 

The FAA received no comments on 

the NPRM or on the determination of 

the costs. 

Conclusion 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is approved for operation in 

the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA 

reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety requires 

adopting this AD as proposed. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. This AD is adopted as 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Pilatus PC–24 

Service Bulletin No. 28–003, Revision 1, 

dated January 23, 2020. This service 

information specifies procedures for 

modifying the fuel drain pipe routing 

and installing a drain mast. 

This service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD will 

affect 36 airplanes of U.S. registry. The 

FAA also estimates that it would take 

about 12 work-hours per airplane to do 

the modification and installation of this 

AD. The average labor rate is $85 per 

work-hour. Required parts would cost 

about $1,950 per airplane. 

Based on these figures, the FAA 

estimates the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators would be $106,920 or $2,970 

per airplane. 

The FAA has included all known 

costs in its cost estimate. According to 

the manufacturer, however, some of the 

costs of this AD may be covered under 

warranty, thereby reducing the cost 

impact on affected operators. 

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. 

The FAA is 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 this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(3) 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 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: 

2021–26–21 Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.: 

Amendment 39–21880; Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0218; Project Identifier 

MCAI–2020–01519–A. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective February 25, 2022. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. 

Model PC–24 airplanes, serial numbers 101 

through 184, certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) 

Code 2830, Fuel Dump System. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by 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 insufficient 

performance of the fuel drain system that 

could lead to fire and damage of the airplane. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent fuel 

contamination of the inboard rear fuselage. If 

not addressed, this unsafe condition, in 

combination with an ignition source, could 

result in fire and loss of control of the 

airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Required Actions 

Within 5 months after the effective date of 

this AD, modify the fuel drain pipe routing 

and install the drain mast by following 

paragraphs A. and B. of the Accomplishment 

Instructions in Pilatus PC–24 Service 

Bulletin No. 28–003, Revision 1, dated 

January 23, 2020.
