[Docket No. 95–SW–16–AD; Amendment

39–9210; AD 95–09–07]

Airworthiness Directives; Robinson

Helicopter Company Model R44

Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a

new airworthiness directive (AD) that is

applicable to Robinson Helicopter

Company Model R44 helicopters. This

action requires removal of the push-pull

tube sleeve guide assembly (sleeve

guide) and replacement with a pushpull tube roller guide assembly (roller

guide); and, inspections of the push-pull

tube sleeves for signs of wear and

replacement as necessary. This

amendment is prompted by a report of

an operator experiencing binding in the

cyclic control system caused by torn

heat-shrink material (material) on the

cyclic push-pull tubes binding in the

sleeve guide. The actions specified in

this AD are intended to prevent binding

in the cyclic control system and

subsequent loss of control of the

helicopter.

DATES: Effective May 24, 1995.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations is approved by the Director

of the Federal Register as of May 24,

1995.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

Docket must be received on or before

July 10, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), Office of the

Assistant Chief Counsel, Attention:

Rules Docket No. 95–SW–16–AD, 2601

Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, Texas

76137.

The service information referenced in

this AD may be obtained from Robinson

Helicopter Company, 2901 Airport

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment adopts a new AD that is

applicable to Robinson Model R44

helicopters. The Civil Aviation

Authority of England reported that on

October 11, 1994, an operator of a

Model R44 helicopter experienced

binding in the cyclic control system. An

inspection revealed that the material on

the cyclic control push-pull tubes had

torn and caused the push-pull tubes to

bind in the push-pull tube guide. After

reviewing this report, as well as the

manufacturer’s data on wear-testing of

the material used on the push-pull tube,

and the maintenance history of the wear

of this material at the existing sleeve

guide, the FAA has determined that the

existing sleeve guide should be replaced

with a roller guide within the next 25

hours time-in-service (TIS) in order to

reduce the wear on the push-pull tube

material, and preserve the integrity of

the cyclic control system. The cyclic

control system controls the attitude of

the helicopter. If it binds, the operator

loses the ability to control inputs to the

main rotor. Due to the criticality of the

cyclic control system and the relatively

short compliance time, this rule must be

issued immediately to correct an unsafe

condition in the affected helicopters.

This condition, if not corrected, could

result in binding in the cyclic control

system and subsequent loss of control of

the helicopter.

The FAA has reviewed Robinson

Helicopter Company R44 Service

Bulletin SB–4 (SB), dated January 24,

1995, which describes procedures for

removal of the existing sleeve guide and

replacement with a roller guide within

the next 50 hours TIS. It also describes

procedures for inspecting the push-pull

sleeve tube for signs of wear, and

replacement as necessary. However,

based upon the manufacturer’s test data

as well as the TIS of the helicopter that

was involved in the one reported

incident (56.5 hours TIS), the FAA has

determined that a compliance time of 25

hours TIS is necessary to ensure the

safety of the affected helicopters.

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop on other Robinson Model R44

helicopters of the same type design, this

AD is being issued to prevent binding in

the cyclic control system and

subsequent loss of control of the

helicopter. This AD requires removal of

the sleeve guide and replacement with

a roller guide. This AD also requires an

initial inspection and repetitive

inspections at 100 hours TIS intervals of

the C121–7 push-pull tube sleeve for

signs of wear, and replacement as

necessary. The actions are required to be

accomplished in accordance with the

service bulletin described previously.

Since a situation exists that requires

the immediate adoption of this

regulation, it is found that notice and

opportunity for prior public comment

hereon are impracticable, and that good

cause exists for making this amendment

effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule that involves requirements

affecting flight safety and, thus, was not

preceded by notice and an opportunity

for public comment, comments are

invited on this rule. Interested persons

are invited to comment on this rule by

submitting such written data, views, or

arguments as they may desire.

Communications should identify the

Rules Docket number and be submitted

in triplicate to the address specified

under the caption ADDRESSES. All

communications received on or before

the closing date for comments will be

considered, and this rule may be

amended in light of the comments

received. Factual information that

supports the commenter’s ideas and

suggestions is extremely helpful in

evaluating the effectiveness of the AD

action and determining whether

additional rulemaking action would be

needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this AD

will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

postcard on which the following

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to

Docket No. 95–SW–16–AD.’’ The

postcard will be date stamped and

returned to the commenter.

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects 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. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this final rule does

not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is an emergency regulation

that must be issued immediately to

correct an unsafe condition in aircraft,

and that it is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866. It has been determined

further that this action involves an

emergency regulation under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979). If it is

determined that this emergency

regulation otherwise would be

significant under DOT Regulatory

Policies and Procedures, a final

regulatory evaluation will be prepared

and placed in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it, if filed, may be obtained from the

Rules Docket at the location provided

under the caption ADDRESSES.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FFA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment modifies

Class E airspace at Milledgeville, GA. A

LOC RWY 28 Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been

developed for Baldwin County Airport.

Additional controlled airspace

extending upward from 700 feet above

the surface (AGL) is needed to

accommodate this SIAP and for

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations

at the airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 20,

1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On February 23, 1995, the FAA

proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) by modifying Class E airspace

at Milledgeville, GA (60 FR 10042). This

action would provide adequate Class E

airspace for IFR operations at Baldwin

County Airport.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

were received. Designations for Class E

airspace extending upward from 700

feet or more above the surface are

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and

effective September 16, 1994. The Class

E airspace designation listed in this

document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) modifies Class E airspace at

Milledgeville, GA, to accommodate a

LOC RWY 28 SIAP and for IFR

operations at Baldwin County Airport.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. It, therefore, (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)

does not warrant preparation of a

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. Since this is a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
