SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to all GEAC H75–200, H80–100, 

and H80–200 model turboprop engines. 

The NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on April 20, 2021 (86 FR 

20465). The NPRM was prompted by 

several reports of engine gas generator 

speed (Ng) rollbacks occurring below 

idle on GEAC H75–200, H80–100, and 

H80–200 model turboprop engines. The 

NPRM proposed to require an 

inspection of a certain P/N FCU and, if 

deficiencies are detected, replacement 

of the FCU with a part eligible for 

installation. The FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

The European Union Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Community, has issued EASA 

AD 2020–0082, dated April 1, 2020 

(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. The MCAI states: 

Several occurrences have been reported of 

engine gas generator speed (Ng) rollbacks 

below idle on engines equipped with an 

affected part. 

The investigation determined that, during 

these events, the engine control lever (ECL) 

was set to idle, and identified as contributing 

factors specific environmental temperatures, 

possibly in combination with a high power 

off-take. The idle setting may be used in 

flight, in particular during the approach 

phase. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, may lead to loss of engine power 

and eventually, on a single engine aeroplane, 

possibly result in loss of control. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

GEAC issued the ASB providing applicable 

instructions. 

You may obtain further information 

by examining the MCAI in the AD 

docket at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0316. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received no comments on 

the NPRM or on the determination of 

the costs. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data 

and determined that air safety requires 

adopting this AD as proposed. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. This AD is adopted as 

proposed in the NPRM.

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. 

The FAA is 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 this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, 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.
