Adoption of 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 (AD): 

2015–10–51 Avidyne Corporation: 

Amendment 39–18183; Docket No. 

FAA–2015–2191; Directorate Identifier 

2015–CE–015–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective 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. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability

(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:

Airworthiness Directives; Learjet Inc. 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Learjet Inc. Model 45 airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by reports of nonconforming windshield supports (coupe 

rails). This AD requires a general visual 

inspection of the coupe rails to detect 

gouging and scratches, and to determine 

if a radius has been removed; an 

ultrasound inspection to measure the 

dimensions of the lower coupe rails; an 

eddy current inspection to detect cracks 

of the lower coupe rails; replacement of

the lower coupe rails if necessary; and 

revision of the maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable. We 

are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

non-conforming windshield supports, 

which could result in uncontrolled 

cabin depressurization and compromise 

of the capability of the windshield to 

withstand a bird strike. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 21, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of July 21, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain Learjet Inc. Model 45 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on April 16, 2014 (79 

FR 21416). The NPRM was prompted by 

reports of non-conforming windshield 

supports (coupe rails). The NPRM 

proposed to require a general visual 

inspection to detect gouging and 

scratches and to determine if a radius 

has been removed; an ultrasound 

inspection to measure the dimensions of 

the lower coupe rails; an eddy current 

inspection to detect cracks of the lower 

coupe rails; replacement of the lower 

coupe rails if necessary; and revision of 

the maintenance or inspection program, 

as applicable. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct non-conforming 

windshield supports, which could 

result in uncontrolled cabin 

depressurization. Non-conforming 

windshield supports could also 

compromise the capability of the 

windshield to withstand a bird strike. 

Explanation of Changes Made to 

Paragraph (h) of This AD 

We revised paragraph (h) of this AD 

to state that incorporation of certain 

tasks into the maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, must be done in 

accordance with a method approved by 

the Manager, Wichita Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), ACE–115W, 

FAA. For informational purposes, we 

have added new Notes 1 and 2 to 

paragraph (h) of this AD to refer to the 

latest maintenance manuals as guidance 

material for revising the maintenance or 

inspection program. (Earlier revisions 

were referenced previously in table 1 to 

paragraph (h) of the NPRM (79 FR 

21416, April 16, 2014)). The change to 

this AD should allow operators to obtain 

appropriate versions of maintenance 

manuals in order to facilitate 

compliance. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (79 FR 21416, 

April 16, 2014), and the FAA’s response 

to each comment. 

Request for Credit for Previous Actions 

Learjet Inc. requested that we revise 

the NPRM (79 FR 21416, April 16, 2014) 

to clarify whether actions accomplished 

using Bombardier Recommended 

Service Bulletin 40–56–03, dated April 

30, 2012; or Bombardier Recommended 

Service Bulletin 45–56–3, dated April 

30, 2012; is acceptable for compliance 

with the actions required by paragraph 

(g) of the NPRM. Learjet Inc. reasoned 

that many operators have already done 

those actions using this service 

information. 

We agree to clarify. Actions required 

by paragraph (g) of this AD, if performed 

before the effective date of this AD using 

Bombardier Recommended Service 

Bulletin 40–56–03, dated April 30, 

2012; or Bombardier Recommended 

Service Bulletin 45–56–3, dated April 

30, 2012; as applicable; are acceptable 

for compliance with the requirements of 

paragraph (g) of this AD. We have added 

a new paragraph (j) to this AD to 

provide credit for these actions. We 

have redesignated subsequent 

paragraphs accordingly. 

Request To Incorporate Updated 

Inspection Reference Number (IRN) 

Learjet Inc. requested that we revise 

table 1 to paragraph (h) of the NPRM (79 

FR 21416, April 16, 2014) to allow the 

incorporation of IRN V5323168, as 

specified in Bombardier Learjet 45 

Maintenance Manual (MM) MM–104, 

Revision 62; and Bombardier Learjet 40 

Maintenance Manual MM–105 Revision 

30; both dated June 2, 2014. Learjet Inc. 

explained that IRN U5323168 was 

revised to V5323168 in Bombardier 

Learjet 45 Maintenance Manual MM– 

104, Revision 62; and Bombardier 

Learjet 40 Maintenance Manual MM– 

105, Revision 30; both dated June 2, 

2014. Learjet Inc. stated that there were 

no actual changes to the content of the 

IRN in Chapter 4 of the MMs, but the 

‘‘U’’ was revised to a ‘‘V’’ to coincide 

with changes to the verbiage in the same 

IRN in Chapter 5 of those MMs. 

As discussed previously, we added 

new Notes 1 and 2 to paragraph (h) of 

this AD to refer to the latest revisions of 

the maintenance manuals, which 

include references to the appropriate 

IRNs referenced by the commenter. No 

additional change to this AD is 

necessary. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

21416, April 16, 2014) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 21416, 

April 16, 2014). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD.

34260 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 115 / Tuesday, June 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Bombardier 

Recommended Service Bulletin 40–56– 

03, Revision 1, dated October 15, 2012; 

and Bombardier Recommended Service 

Bulletin 45–56–3, Revision 1, dated 

October 15, 2012. The service 

information describes procedures for a 

general visual inspection of the coupe 

rails to detect gouging and scratches, 

and to determine if a radius has been 

removed; an ultrasound inspection to 

measure the dimensions of the lower 

coupe rails; an eddy current inspection 

to detect cracks of the lower coupe rails; 

and replacement of the lower coupe 

rails if necessary. 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 of this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 351 

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 

Inspection .......................... 40 work-hours × $85 per 

hour = $3,400 per inspection cycle.

$77 .................................... $3,477 per inspection 

cycle.

$1,220,427 per inspection 

cycle. 

Maintenance or inspection 

program revision.

1 work hour × $85 per 

hour = $85.

None .................................. $85 .................................... $29,835. 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacement that would 

be required based on the results of the 

inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need this replacement: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product 

Replacement ........................ 500 work-hours (to replace both coupe rails) × $85 per 

hour = $42,500.

$15,000 (to replace both 

coupe rails).

$57,500 (to replace both 

coupe rails). 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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.
