Airworthiness Directives; BAE 

SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all BAE 

SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model 

4101 airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by reports that the fire 

extinguisher in the toilet vanity unit 

needs to be mounted vertically rather 

than horizontally. This proposed AD 

would require inspecting to determine if 

a certain fire extinguisher bottle is 

installed, and repositioning the affected 

fire extinguisher bottle to the vertical 

position. We are proposing this AD to 

detect and correct the orientation of the 

fire extinguisher bottle in the toilet 

vanity unit to the vertical position, 

which if not corrected, could result in 

a toilet waste bin fire spreading, and 

consequent damage to the airplane and 

injury to its occupants. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 5, 2012. 

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. 

• Mail: U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Docket Operations,

Room W12–140, 1200 New Jersey

• Hand Delivery: U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Docket Operations,

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

Friday, except Federal holidays.
