17386 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 15, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by 

removing Amendment 39–15820 (74 FR 

7810; February 20, 2009), and adding 

the following new AD: 

2009–08–10 Pilatus Aircraft Ltd: 

Amendment 39–15883; Docket No. 

FAA–2009–0347; Directorate Identifier 

2009–CE–022–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective April 20, 2009. 

Affected ADs 

(b) This AD supersedes AD 2009–04–14, 

Amendment 39–15820. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Models PC–12/47E 

airplanes, manufacturer serial numbers 

(MSN) 545 and MSN 1001 and subsequent, 

certificated in any category. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 34: Navigation. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

Field reports have indicated that the 

possibility exists that both Primary Flight 

Displays (PFDs) could indicate a roll attitude 

offset of up to 10 degrees in the same 

direction if an accelerated turn onto the 

active runway is performed immediately 

followed by take-off. This condition has been 

reported to correct itself after several 

minutes. 

This situation, if not corrected, could result 

in an undesired bank angle, which would 

constitute an unsafe condition. 

As an interim measure, EASA Emergency 

AD 2009–0028–E required the introduction 

of a maximum bank angle during climb. As 

a result of the ongoing investigation, the 

problem can be temporarily solved with 

some limitations in the take-off procedure. 

For the reason described above, this AD 

supersedes EASA AD 2008–0028–E and 

requires a revision of the operational 

procedures to be inserted into the POH. This 

action is still considered to be an interim 

solution and further AD action is likely to 

follow. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, before further 

flight as of April 20, 2009 (the effective date 

of this AD), do the following actions: 

(1) Incorporate Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. 

Temporary Revision No. 11 to PC–12/47E 

Pilot’s Operating Handbook, Report No. 

02277, dated March 18, 2009, into the Pilatus 

PC–12/47E POH. 

(2) Remove the information and/or the 

copy of AD 2009–04–14 required by AD 

2009–04–14 to be inserted in the POH. 

(3) The owner/operator holding at least a 

private pilot certificate as authorized by 

section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations 14 CFR 43.7 may do the actions 

required in this AD. Make an entry in the 

aircraft records showing compliance with 

this portion of the AD following 14 CFR 43.9. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/ 

or service information as follows: 

(1) Since we never allowed incorporating 

Temporary Revision No. 9, dated January 30, 

2009, into the POH, we are not requiring the 

removal of Temporary Revision No. 9, dated 

January 30, 2009, as the MCAI requires. 

(2) Current regulations (1 CFR 51.7) do not 

allow us to both incorporate by reference a 

service document and write the provisions of 

that document in the AD. We have chosen to 

incorporate by reference the temporary 

revision. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(g) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to 

Attn: Doug Rudolph, Aerospace Engineer, 

FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, 

Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; 

telephone: (816) 329–4059; fax: (816) 329– 

4090. Before using any approved AMOC on 

any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector 

(PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District 

Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local 

FSDO. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service. 

(3) Reporting Requirements: For any 

reporting requirement in this AD, under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has 

approved the information collection 

requirements and has assigned OMB Control 

Number 2120–0056.

Airworthiness Directives; EADS 

SOCATA Model TBM 700 Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued 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: 

A damaged wiring harness which caused 

the air conditioning system circuit breaker to 

trip and evidencing a local overheating has 

been found on an in-service aircraft. 

The investigation revealed that the damage 

(chafed wires) found on the wiring harness 

resulted from an interference with the underfloor attachment fittings of the cabin partition

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 15, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 17387 

net which was due to an incorrect routing of 

the harness while on the production line. 

Such conditions could result in an 

electrical short and potential loss of several 

functions essential for the safety of flight. 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 

20, 2009. 

On May 20, 2009, the Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on February 13, 2009 (74 FR 

7194). That NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

A damaged wiring harness which caused 

the air conditioning system circuit breaker to 

trip and evidencing a local overheating has 

been found on an in-service aircraft. 

The investigation revealed that the damage 

(chafed wires) found on the wiring harness 

resulted from an interference with the underfloor attachment fittings of the cabin partition 

net which was due to an incorrect routing of 

the harness while on the production line. 

Such conditions could result in an 

electrical short and potential loss of several 

functions essential for the safety of flight. 

For the reason stated above, this AD 

mandates inspection of the electrical wiring 

harness, and if necessary a rework of its 

routing. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

have considered the comment received. 

Comment Issue: Number of U.S.- 

Registered Airplanes 

EADS SOCATA requests we change in 

the Costs of Compliance section the 

number of products affected on the U.S. 

registry from 45 products to 31 

products. They state the airplanes listed 

in the U.S. registry are serial numbers 

434, 435, 437 through 439, 441, 443 

through 451, 458, 459, 461, 462, 465, 

466, 468 through 474, and 476 through 

478. 

The FAA agrees. We will change the 

Costs of Compliance section in the final 

rule AD action to reflect the above 

comment. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We determined that these changes will 

not increase the economic burden on 

any operator or increase the scope of the 

AD. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. 

Any such differences are highlighted in 

a NOTE within the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this AD will affect 31 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 1 workhour per product to comply with the 

basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators 

to be $2,480 or $80 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 1.5 work-hours for a cost of $120 

per product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

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 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) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD Docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Management Facility between 9 

a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD 

docket contains the NPRM, the 

regulatory evaluation, any comments 

received, and other information. The 

street address for the Docket Office 

(telephone (800) 647–5527) is in the 

ADDRESSES section. Comments will be 

available in the AD docket shortly after 

receipt.
