Discussion 

We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an airworthiness 

directive (AD) that would apply to all 

Burl A. Rogers (type certificate 

previously held by William Brad 

Mitchell and Aeronca, Inc.) Models 

15AC and S15AC airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 4, 2011 (76 FR 18454). The NPRM 

proposed to require repetitive 

inspections of the upper and lower main 

wing spar cap angles for cracks and/or 

corrosion and installing inspection 

access panels. The NPRM also proposed 

to require replacing the wing spar cap 

angles if moderate or severe corrosion is 

found and applying corrosion inhibitor. 

Since we issued the NPRM, we 

received a request to extend the 

comment period of the NPRM to 90 

days. 

FAA’s Determination 

We have considered the request and 

find it appropriate to extend the 

comment period to give all interested 

persons additional time to examine all 

data and the proposed requirements of 

the NPRM and submit comments. We 

determined that extending the comment 

period to 90 days will not compromise 

the safety of these airplanes. 

The comment period for Docket No. 

FAA–2011–0318; Directorate Identifier 

2010–CE–033–AD is hereby extended to 

July 3, 2011. 

Since no portion of the NPRM or 

other regulatory information has been 

changed, the entire NPRM is not being 

republished. 

Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on April 

22, 2011.

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 would require inserting an update to 

the performance charts in the FAAapproved airplane flight manual and the 

pilot’s operating handbook, part number 

(P/N) 130–590031–245. This proposed 

AD was prompted by an error found in 

the take-off speeds and field lengths 

published in the FAA-approved 

airplane flight manual. We are 

proposing this AD to correct the 

published data in the airplane flight 

manual and the pilot’s operating 

handbook and ensure it corresponds 

with the published data in the pilot’s 

checklist. This condition, if not 

corrected, could result in a pilot taking 

off from shorter runways than required 

by the airplane if the airplane loses an 

engine after takeoff decision speed (V1). 

This could result in the airplane 

running out of runway before take-off 

can be accomplished. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 13, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Fax: 202–493–2251.

Discussion 

We were notified by Hawker 

Beechcraft Corporation of an error found 

in the take-off speeds and field lengths 

published in the FAA-approved 

airplane flight manual. The required 

runway distances published in the 

current manual could be up to 320 feet 

shorter than what is necessary. Hawker 

Beechcraft Corporation determined data 

in the pilot’s checklist (P/N 130– 

590031–273) was correct. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result 

in taking off from shorter runways than 

required by the airplane if the airplane 

loses an engine after takeoff decision 

speed (V1). This could result in the 

airplane running out of runway before 

take-off can be accomplished. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Hawker Beechcraft 

Corporation Temporary Change to the 

Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA– 

Approved Airplane Flight Manual, P/N 

130–590031–245TC5, dated February 

2011. The temporary change corrects the 

published data in the FAA-approved 

airplane flight manual and the pilot’s 

operating handbook. 

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 

inserting an update to the performance 

charts in the FAA-approved airplane 

flight manual and the pilot’s operating 

handbook. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 46 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 

AFM page replacement .................. .5 work-hour × $85 per hour = 

$42.50.

Not applicable ................................ $42.50 $1,955 

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, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. US DOT Strategy 

The United States Department of 

Transportation (US DOT) is leading the 

effort to end the dangerous practice of 

distracted driving on our nation’s 

roadways and in other modes of 

transportation. Driver distraction can be 

defined as the voluntary or involuntary 

diversion of attention from the primary 

driving tasks due to an object, event, or 

person that shifts the attention away 

from the fundamental driving task. The 

US DOT has identified three main types 

of distraction that occur while operating 

a motor vehicle: 

1. Visual—taking your eyes off of the 

road; 

2. Manual—taking your hands off of 

the wheel; and 

3. Cognitive—taking your mind off of 

driving. 

The US DOT is working across the 

spectrum with private and public 

entities to tackle distracted driving, and 

will lead by example. The individual 

agencies of the US DOT are working 

together to share knowledge, promote a
