Airworthiness Directives; Dornier

Model 328 Series Airplanes Equipped

with Honeywell GP–300 Guidance and

Display Controller

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a

new airworthiness directive (AD) that is

applicable to certain Dornier Model 328

series airplanes. This action requires

modification of certain Honeywell GP–

300 guidance and display controllers.

This amendment is prompted by reports

of smoke and fumes, due to a defective

light bulb, emitting from the Honeywell

GP–300 guidance and display

controller; and a report of failure of the

autopilot to disconnect manually. The

actions specified in this AD are

intended to prevent a defective light

bulb from causing a short circuit that

emits smoke and fumes into the cockpit;

or causing damage to the circuit cards

and various components, which may

lock the autopilot into the engaged

mode. Locking of the autopilot into the

engaged mode could lead to the

inability of the pilot to disconnect the

autopilot, which could result in reduced

controllability of the airplane.

DATES: Effective June 26, 1996.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations is approved by the Director

of the Federal Register as of June 26,

1996.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

has received several reports of smoke

and fumes emitting from the Honeywell

GP–300 guidance and display controller

installed on Dornier Model 328 series

airplanes. In addition, the FAA received

a report that the autopilot would not

disconnect manually; however, minutes

later the ‘‘FD AP Disp Ctrl’’ circuit

breaker opened on its own, and

subsequently disconnected the

autopilot. Investigation revealed that the

cause of these failures has been

attributed to a defective light bulb in the

display controller lighting circuit inside

the GP–300 guidance and display

controller. A defective light bulb can

cause a short circuit that emits smoke

and fumes into the cockpit. This

condition, if not corrected, could impair

the flightcrew’s ability to operate

effectively in the cockpit.

A defective light bulb also can cause

damage to the circuit cards and various

components, which may lock the

autopilot into the engaged mode; this

situation could lead to the inability of

the pilot to disconnect the autopilot.

This condition could adversely affect

the controllability of the airplane.

Explanation of Relevant Service

Information

The FAA has reviewed and approved

Honeywell Service Bulletin 7015327–

22–2, dated March 4, 1996, which

describes procedures for modification of

Honeywell GP–300 guidance and

display controllers having part number

(P/N) 7015327–901 or -902. The

modification involves installing a

protection device on each of the circuit

card assemblies (CCA) that will limit the

short circuit current of the lighting

circuits.

U.S. Type Certification of the Airplane

This airplane model is manufactured

in Germany 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.

Explanation of Requirements of Rule

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop on other airplanes of the same

type design registered in the United

States, this AD is being issued to

prevent a defective light bulb from

causing a short circuit that emits smoke

and fumes into the cockpit; or causing

damage to the circuit cards and various

components, which may lock the

autopilot into the engaged mode.

Locking of the autopilot into the

engaged mode could lead to the

inability of the pilot to disconnect the

autopilot, and adversely affect the

controllability of the airplane. This AD

requires modification of certain

Honeywell GP–300 guidance and

display controllers. The actions are

required to be accomplished in

accordance with the service bulletin

described previously.

Explanation of the Applicability of the

Rule

When an unsafe condition results

from the installation of an appliance or

other item that is installed in only one

particular make and model of aircraft,

the FAA’s general policy is to issue an

AD so that it is applicable to the aircraft,

rather than the item. The reason for this

is simple: Making the AD applicable to

the airplane model on which the item is

installed ensures that operators of those

airplanes will be notified directly of the

unsafe condition and the action

required to correct it. While it is

assumed that an operator will know the

models of airplanes that it operates,

there is a potential that the operator will

not know or be aware of specific items

that are installed on its airplanes.

Therefore, calling out the airplane

model as the subject of the AD prevents

‘‘unknowing non-compliance’’ on the

part of the operator. (The FAA

recognizes that there are situations

when an unsafe condition exists in an

item that is installed in many different

aircraft. In those cases, the FAA

considers it impractical to issue AD’s

against each aircraft; in fact, many

times, the exact models and numbers of

aircraft on which the item is installed

may not be known. Therefore, in those

situations, the AD is issued so that it is

applicable to the item; furthermore,

those AD’s usually indicate that the

item is known to be installed on, but not

limited to, various aircraft models.)

Determination of Rule’s Effective Date

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 shall 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 Number 96–NM–112–AD.’’ The

postcard will be date stamped and

returned to the commenter.

Regulatory Impact

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.
