Discussion

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA),

which is the airworthiness authority for

the United Kingdom, recently notified

the FAA that an unsafe condition may

exist on all Beech Model BAe 125–

1000A and Hawker 1000 series

airplanes. The CAA advises that it has

received several reports of chafing

damage between hydraulic pipes at

three locations in the rear equipment

bay adjacent to the hydraulic module.

Investigation revealed the cause of such

chafing damage has been attributed to

the vibratory movement of the hydraulic

pipes and their close proximity to other

pipe runs, adjacent equipment, and

structure in the rear equipment bay.

These conditions, if not corrected, could

result in chafing damage to the

hydraulic pipe and subsequent

hydraulic fluid leakage; this condition

may lead to failure of essential airplane

systems.

The manufacturer has issued Hawker

Service Bulletin SB.29–95, dated March

24, 1995, which describes procedures

for:

1. Performing a detailed visual

inspection to detect chafing damage to

the hydraulic pipes located aft of frame

21 and adjacent to the hydraulic

module;

2. Performing a visual inspection to

determine if adequate clearance exists

between the pipes, and with other

equipment or structure, if no chafing

damage is detected;

3. Adjusting the pipe connections

and/or clipping, if the clearance is

inadequate;

4. Replacing the pipes with new

pipes, if any chafing is detected beyond

certain limits; and

5. Performing a pressure test, if any

chafing damage is detected within

certain limits, and replacement of the

pipe with a new pipe, if necessary.

The CAA classified this service

bulletin as mandatory in order to assure

the continued airworthiness of these

airplanes in the United Kingdom.

This airplane model is manufactured

in the United Kingdom and is type

certificated for operation in the United

States under the provisions of section

21.29 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and the

applicable bilateral airworthiness

agreement. Pursuant to this bilateral

airworthiness agreement, the CAA has

kept the FAA informed of the situation

described above. The FAA has

examined the findings of the CAA,

reviewed all available information, and

determined that AD action is necessary

for products of this type design that are

certificated for operation in the United

States.

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop on other airplanes of the same

type design, the proposed AD would

require a detailed visual inspection to

detect chafing damage to the hydraulic

pipes located aft of frame 21 and

adjacent to the hydraulic module, and

various follow-on actions (i.e., visual

inspection, adjustment, replacement,

pressure test). The actions would be

required to be accomplished in

accordance with the service bulletin

described previously. If any chafing

damage to other equipment or structure

is found, repair would be required to be

accomplished in accordance with a

method approved by the FAA.

The FAA estimates that 27 airplanes

of U.S. registry would be affected by this

proposed AD, that it would take

approximately 1 work hour per airplane

to accomplish the proposed actions, and

that the average labor rate is $60 per

work hour. Based on these figures, the

cost impact of the proposed AD on U.S.

operators is estimated to be $1,620, or

$60 per airplane.

The cost impact figure discussed

above is based on assumptions that no

operator has yet accomplished any of

the proposed requirements of this AD

action, and that no operator would

accomplish those actions in the future if

this AD were not adopted.

The regulations proposed herein

would 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

proposal would not have sufficient

federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
65256 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 19, 1995 / Proposed Rules

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this proposed regulation (1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) if

promulgated, 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. A copy of the draft

regulatory evaluation prepared for this

action is contained in the Rules Docket.

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration proposes to amend part

39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(14 CFR part 39) as follows:

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS

DIRECTIVES

1. The authority citation for part 39

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 USC 106(g), 40101, 40113,

44701.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

Beech Aircraft Corporation (Formerly

DeHavilland; Hawker Siddeley; British

Aerospace, plc; Raytheon Corporate

Jets, Inc.): Docket 95–NM–141–AD.

Applicability: All Model BAe 125–1000A

and Hawker 1000 series airplanes,

certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must use the authority

provided in paragraph (b) of this AD to

request approval from the FAA. This

approval may address either no action, if the

current configuration eliminates the unsafe

condition; or different actions necessary to

address the unsafe condition described in

this AD. Such a request should include an

assessment of the effect of the changed

configuration on the unsafe condition

addressed by this AD. In no case does the

presence of any modification, alteration, or

repair remove any airplane from the

applicability of this AD.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent chafing damage to the

hydraulic pipe and subsequent hydraulic

fluid leakage; this condition may lead to

failure of essential airplane systems;

accomplish the following:

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes the

adoption of a new airworthiness

directive (AD) that is applicable to

certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100

series airplanes. This proposal would

require a one-time measurement during

refueling to determine the pressure in

each collector tank; for certain

airplanes, non-destructive test (NDT)

inspections to detect cracking or

deformations of the collector tank ribs

on each wing, and repair, if necessary;

and modification of top-hat stringers in

each outer wing tank. This proposal is

prompted by a report of damage to the

ribs of the wing collector tank caused by

over-pressure in the collector tank

during refueling. The actions specified

by the proposed AD are intended to

prevent cracking and deformation of the

wing collector tanks due to overpressure, which could result in reduced

structural integrity of the wing.
