List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

■ Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the Federal Aviation Administration 

amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

2008–19–12 Honeywell International Inc. 

(formerly AlliedSignal Inc., formerly 

Garret Turbine Engine Company): 

Amendment 39–15679. Docket No. 

FAA–2008–0264; Directorate Identifier 

2008–NE–07–AD.

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective October 27, 2008. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Honeywell 

International Inc. TFE731–4, –4R, –5, –5AR, 

–5BR, and –5R series turbofan engines, with 

interstage turbine transition (ITT) duct, part 

number (P/N) 3075292–1; 3075292–3; 

3074766–1; 3077063–1; 3075655–1; 

3075655–2; 3075699–1; or 3075699–3, 

installed. These engines are installed on, but 

not limited to, Avions Marcel Dassault 

Mystere-Falcon 50 series, Dassault-Aviation 

20, 50, 900, MF900 series, Cessna Model 650, 

Cessna Citation VII, and Raytheon Corporate 

Jets (formerly British Aerospace) Hawker 800 

and 850XP series airplanes. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from reports of 49 lowpressure turbine (LPT) blade separation 

events. Six of those events resulted in 

circumferential failure of the LPT2 or LPT3 

nozzle assembly, leading to deformation of 

the ITT duct and uncontainment of the 

turbine blades and fragments of the LPT 

nozzle assembly. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent uncontainment of turbine blades and 

fragments of the LPT nozzle assembly, which 

could result in damage to the airplane. 

Compliance 

(e) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed at the 

next Major Periodic Inspection of the engine 

or at next access of the ITT duct, whichever 

occurs first, but not to exceed 2,600 hours 

time-in-service after the effective date of this 

AD, unless the actions have already been 

done. 

Replacement of the ITT Duct 

(f) Replace the affected ITT ducts listed by 

part number in paragraph (c) of this AD, with 

a serviceable and redesigned ITT duct. 

Definitions 

(g) For the purpose of this AD, a 

serviceable and redesigned ITT duct is one 

not having a part number listed in this AD. 

(h) For the purpose of this AD, next access 

of the ITT duct is when the ITT duct is 

removed from the engine. 

Prohibition of Affected ITT Ducts 

(i) After the effective date of this AD, do 

not install any ITT duct listed by P/N in

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault 

Model Falcon 10 Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD), 

which applies to all Avions Marcel 

Dassault-Breguet Model Falcon 10 

airplanes. That AD currently requires 

either revising the airplane flight 

manual and installing a placard in the 

flight deck to prohibit flight into known 

or forecasted icing conditions, or 

repetitively inspecting for delamination 

of the flexible hoses in the wing (slat) 

anti-icing system and performing 

corrective actions if necessary. The 

existing AD also requires replacement of 

the flexible hoses installed in the slat 

anti-icing systems, which ends the 

repetitive inspections. This new AD 

continues to require replacement of the 

flexible hoses installed in the slat antiicing systems with new hoses, but at 

intervals defined in flight hours instead 

of flight cycles. This AD results from 

information we received from operators 

and the airplane manufacturer 

indicating that the repetitive interval for 

the required replacement deviated from 

the referenced service information. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent collapse 

of the flexible hoses in the slat anti-icing 

system, which could lead to insufficient 

anti-icing capability and, if icing is 

encountered in this situation, could 

result in reduced controllability of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

October 27, 2008. 

On October 11, 2007 (72 FR 51161, 

September 6, 2007), the Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of Dassault 

Service Bulletin F10–313, Revision 1, 

dated May 10, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that 

supersedes AD 2007–18–08, amendment 

39–15188 (72 FR 51161, September 6, 

2007). The existing AD applies to all 

Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Model 

Falcon 10 airplanes. That NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 27, 2008 (73 FR 36473). That 

NPRM proposed to continue to require 

either revising the airplane flight 

manual and installing a placard in the 

flight deck to prohibit flight into known 

or forecasted icing conditions, or 

repetitively inspecting for delamination 

of the flexible hoses in the wing (slat) 

anti-icing system and performing 

corrective actions if necessary. That 

NPRM also proposed to require 

replacement of the flexible hoses 

installed in the slat anti-icing systems 

with new hoses, but at intervals defined 

in flight hours instead of flight cycles. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. No comments 

have been received on the NPRM or on 

the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data and determined that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

The following table provides the 

estimated costs for U.S. operators to 

comply with this AD. The average labor 

rate is $80 per work hour. 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Work 

hours Parts Cost per airplane 

Number of 

U.S.-registered 

airplanes 

Fleet cost 

Hose replacement ..................... 8 $880 $1,520, per replacement cycle .. Up to 146. ........ Up to $221,920, per replacement cycle. 

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 regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

See the ADDRESSES section for a location 

to examine the regulatory evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

FAA Order 7400.9R, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

effective September 15, 2007, listed 

Class A, B, C, D and E airspace areas; 

air traffic service routes; and reporting 

points. Due to the length of these 

descriptions, the FAA requested 

approval from the Office of the Federal 

Register to incorporate the material by 

reference in the Federal Aviation 

Regulations section 71.1. During the 

incorporation by reference period, from 

September 15, 2007 through September 

15, 2008, the FAA processed all 

proposed changes of the airspace 

listings in FAA Order 7400.9R in full 

text as proposed rule documents in the 

Federal Register. Likewise, all 

amendments of these listings were 

published in full text as final rules in 

the Federal Register. This rule reflects 

the continued incorporation of 7400.9R, 

pending a revised edition of the Order. 

The Director of the Federal Register has 

extended the IBR approval of FAA 

Order 7400.9R in section 71.1, as of 

September 16, 2008 until October 31, 

2008. This rule also explains the 

procedures the FAA will use to amend 

the airspace designations incorporated 

by reference in part 71. Sections 71.5, 

71.15, 71.31, 71.33, 71.41, 71.51, 71.61, 

71.71, and 71.901 are amended to reflect 

the incorporation by reference of FAA 

Order 7400.9R. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to 

reflect the approval by the Director of 

the Federal Register of the incorporation 

by reference of FAA Order 7400.9R, 

effective September 16, 2008. This rule 

reflects the continued incorporation of 

7400.9R, pending a revised edition of 

the Order. During the incorporation by 

reference, the FAA will continue to 

process all proposed changes of the 

airspace listings in the Order. Likewise, 

all amendments of these listings will be 

published in full text as final rules in 

the Federal Register. The FAA will 

periodically integrate all final rule 

amendments into a revised edition of 

the Order, and submit the revised 

edition to the Director of the Federal 

Register for approval for incorporation 

by reference in section 71.1. 

The FAA has determined that this 

action: (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. 

This action neither places any new 

restrictions or requirements on the 

public, nor changes the dimensions or 

operation requirements of the airspace 

listings incorporated by reference in 

part 71. Consequently, notice and public 

procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are 

unnecessary. Because this action will 

continue to update the changes to the 


ebenthall on PROD1PC60 with RULES
