Airworthiness Directives; Goodrich Deicing and Specialty Systems 

‘‘FASTprop’’ Propeller De-icers 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Goodrich De-icing and Specialty 

Systems ‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icers, 

part numbers P4E1188 series, P4E1601 

series, P4E2200 series, P4E2271–10, 

P4E2575–7, P4E2575–10, P4E2598–10, 

P5855BSW, P6199SW, P6592SW, 

P6662SW, and P6975–11, installed. This 

AD requires inspection, repair, or 

replacement of those ‘‘FASTprop’’

propeller de-icers that fail daily visual 

checks. This AD results from reports of 

Goodrich ‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller deicers becoming loose or debonded, and 

detaching from propeller blades during 

operation. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

October 14, 2005. The Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in the regulations as 

of October 14, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Contact Goodrich De-icing 

and Specialty Systems, 1555 Corporate 

Woods Parkway, Uniontown, Ohio 

44685, telephone (330) 374–3743, for 

the service information referenced in 

this AD. 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov or in

Plaines, IL 60018–4696; telephone (847) 

294–8110; fax (847) 294–7834. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with 

a proposed airworthiness directive (AD). 

The proposed AD applies to Goodrich 

De-icing and Specialty Systems 

‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icers, part 

numbers P4E1188 series, P4E1601 

series, P4E2200 series, P4E2271–10, 

P4E2575–7, P4E2575–10, P4E2598–10, 

P5855BSW, P6199SW, P6592SW, 

P6662SW, and P6975–11. We published 

the proposed AD in the Federal Register 

on April 6, 2005 (70 FR 17361). That 

action proposed to require inspection, 

repair, or replacement of those 

‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icers that fail 

visual checks before the first flight each 

day. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the docket that 

contains the AD, any comments 

received, and any final disposition in 

person at the Docket Management 

System (DMS) Docket Office between 9 

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

Friday, except Federal holidays. The 

Docket Office (telephone (800) 647–

5227) is located on the plaza level of the 

Department of Transportation Nassif 

Building at the street address stated in 

ADDRESSES. Comments will be available 

in the AD docket shortly after the DMS 

receives them. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We have 

considered the one comment received. 

The commenter states that we need to 

clarify the compliance section, and 

requests that any pilot be able to make 

required logbook entries after the visual 

check of propeller de-icers regardless of 

how the airplane is operated, whether 

under 14 CFR part 91, part 135, or part 

121. The commenter interprets 

Goodrich De-icing and Specialty 

Systems Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 

No. 30–60–00–1, dated November 15, 

2004, as only allowing private pilots 

operating under 14 CFR part 91 to make 

the required logbook entries. 

We agree that we need to clarify the 

compliance section. Accordingly, we 

added the following statement to the 

compliance section of this AD: 

‘‘Properly certificated maintenance 

personnel must perform the initial 

inspection required in this AD. 

Thereafter, the pilot or properly 

certificated maintenance personnel may 

perform the repetitive visual check.’’

Conclusion 

We have carefully 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 have determined that 

these changes will neither increase the 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 174 / Friday, September 9, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 53551 

economic burden on any operator nor 

increase the scope of the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that 3,400 Goodrich 

propeller de-icers are installed on 

airplanes of U.S. registry and will be 

affected by this AD. We also estimate 

that it will take about: 

• Two minutes per propeller blade to 

perform the preflight visual check; and 

• Five minutes per propeller blade to 

perform the inspection of de-icers that 

fail the visual check; and 

• One-half work hour to replace a 

propeller de-icer. 

The average labor rate is $65 per work 

hour. Required parts will cost about 

$110.00 per replacement propeller deicer. The manufacturer has advised us 

that replacement de-icers will be 

provided at no cost to the operators. 

Based on these figures, not including 

free de-icer hardware supplied by the 

manufacturer, we estimate the total cost 

of the AD to U.S. operators to be 

$510,240. 

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 have 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 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); 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 summary of the costs 

to comply with this AD and placed it in 

the AD Docket. You may get a copy of 

this summary at the address listed 

under ADDRESSES.

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from reports of 

Goodrich ‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icers 

becoming loose or debonded, and detaching 

from propeller blades during operation. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent Goodrich 

‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icers from 

detaching from the propeller blade, resulting 

in damage to the airplane, and possible 

injury to passengers and crewmembers. 

Compliance 

(e) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(f) Properly certificated maintenance 

personnel must perform the initial inspection 

required in this AD. Thereafter, the pilot or 

properly certificated maintenance personnel 

may perform the repetitive visual check. 

Initial Visual Inspection of ‘‘FASTprop’’

Propeller De-Icers 

(g) Within 10 hours after the effective date 

of this AD, inspect the ‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller 

de-icers. If any ‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icer 

fails the inspection, then the ‘‘FASTprop’’

de-icer must be repaired or replaced as 

necessary before the next flight. Use 

paragraphs 2.A(3) through (5) of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Goodrich 

De-icing and Specialty Systems Alert Service 

Bulletin (ASB) No. 30–60–00–1, dated 

November 15, 2004 to do these actions. 

Repetitive Visual Inspections of 

‘‘FASTprop’’ Propeller De-Icers 

(h) After the initial inspection, visually 

check the ‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icer once 

per day either during the pilot’s first preflight 

inspection of the day or when maintenance 

personnel are available. If any ‘‘FASTprop’’

propeller de-icer fails the visual check, then 

the ‘‘FASTprop’’ de-icer must be inspected, 

repaired, or replaced as necessary before the 

next flight. Terminating action is 

accomplished when the ‘‘FASTprop’’

propeller de-icer is removed and replaced 

with an approved propeller de-icer. Use 

paragraph 2.A(2) of the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Goodrich De-icing and 

Specialty Systems Alert Service Bulletin 

(ASB) No. 30–60–00–1, dated November 15, 

2004 to do these actions. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(i) The Manager, Chicago Aircraft 

Certification Office, has the authority to 

approve alternative methods of compliance 

for this AD if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

Special Flight Permits 

(j) Under 14 CFR part 39.23, we are 

limiting the special flight permits for this AD 

by requiring that any propeller found with a 

loose or debonded ‘‘FASTprop’’ de-icer must 

have all propeller blade de-icers removed 

before the flight, to maintain a balanced 

propeller. Information on removing de-icers 

can be found in paragraph 1.K.(1) of 

Goodrich De-icing and Specialty Systems 

ASB No. 30–60–00–1, dated November 15, 

2004. 

Related Information
