ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) Models PA– 

46–350P, PA–46R–350T, and PA–46– 

500TP airplanes. This proposed AD 

would require you to install a stall 

warning heat control modification kit. 

This proposed AD results from ice 

forming on the stall vane heater during 

flights into icing conditions with the 

landing gear down. We are proposing 

this AD to prevent ice from forming on 

the stall vane, which may result in 

failure of the stall warning system. This 

failure could result in the pilot being 

unaware of an approaching stall 

situation. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by December 9, 2008.

Discussion 

Recently, it was discovered on a Piper 

Model PA–46–500TP airplane that the 

stall warning did not activate when 

expected. Upon landing, the stall vane 

was found iced over, which temporarily 

disabled the lift detector. 

The design of the Model PA–46– 

500TP airplane includes a landing gear 

up-lock switch. When this switch is not 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with PROPOSALS
60202 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 198 / Friday, October 10, 2008 / Proposed Rules 

engaged, the electrical flow to the stall 

vane de-icing element is reduced. After 

reviewing the maintenance manual, it 

was determined that the system was 

functioning as designed. 

Piper changed the stall warning heat 

wiring schematic in Models PA–46– 

350P, PA–46R–350T, and PA–46–500TP 

airplanes. All of the previous Piper PA– 

46 series airplanes have a two-stage stall 

vane heater. They are wired with a squat 

switch such that when stall warning 

heat is in the on position, the heater sets 

to low when there is weight on wheels 

(when the aircraft is on the ground) and 

switches to high when there is no 

weight on the wheels (during all phases 

of flight). 

Instead of using the squat switch to 

change the heat setting from low to 

high, Piper Models PA–46–350P, PA– 

46R–350T, and PA–46–500TP airplanes 

use the landing gear up-lock switch. 

When using this switch and the stall 

warning heat is in the on position, the 

heater sets to low when the landing gear 

doors are open and switches to high 

when the landing gear doors are closed. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in failure of the stall warning 

system. This failure could result in the 

pilot being unaware of an approaching 

stall situation. 

Relevant Service Information 

We have reviewed Piper Mandatory 

Service Bulletin No. 1192, dated 

September 15, 2008. 

The service information specifies 

installing Stall Warning Heat Control 

Modification Kit, Piper part number 

88452–002. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the Proposed AD 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all information and 

determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. This proposed AD would 

require you to install a stall warning 

heat control modification kit. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 803 airplanes in the U.S. 

registry. 

We estimate the following costs to do 

the proposed modification: 

Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per 

airplane 

Total cost on 

U.S. operators 

1.5 work-hours × $80 per hour = $120 ....................................................................................... $95 $215 $172,645 

Warranty credit may be given to the 

extent noted in the service bulletin. 

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 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 the 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. 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 proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket that 

contains the proposed AD, the 

regulatory evaluation, any comments 

received, and other information on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; 

or in person at the Docket Management 

Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays. The Docket Office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is located at the street 

address stated in the ADDRESSES section. 

Comments will be available in the AD 

docket shortly after receipt. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment

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 AD: 

Piper Aircraft, Inc.: Docket No. FAA–2008– 

1085; Directorate Identifier 2008–CE– 

057–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) action by 

December 9, 2008. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to the following 

airplane models and serial numbers that are 

certificated in any category: 

Model Serial Nos. 

PA–46–350P ... 4622001 through 4622200

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede an existing airworthiness 

directive (AD) that applies to all of the 

airplanes identified above. The existing 

AD currently requires revising the FAAapproved maintenance program to 

include a new airplane maintenance 

manual task that specifies a detailed 

inspection after each ram air turbine 

(RAT) retraction. That existing AD also 

currently requires, for certain airplanes, 

a one-time inspection to detect breaks in 

the bottom flange fitting of the RAT and 

corrective actions, if necessary; for 

certain airplanes, an adjustment of the 

ejection jack; and, for certain other 

airplanes, replacement of the aluminum 

part with an improved steel part. This 

proposed AD also would continue to 

require certain actions for additional 

airplanes and would revise the FAAapproved maintenance program to 

include procedures for replacing the 

RAT swivel coupling fork fitting with a 

new steel part only. This proposed AD 

results from a report that an additional 

swivel coupling of the RAT yoke fitting 

was found cracked while accomplishing 

the requirements of the existing AD. We 

are proposing this AD to prevent 

misrigging of the ejection jack of the 

RAT and to ensure removal of any RAT 

yoke fitting made from aluminum 

material. Such conditions could result 

in a broken or cracked swivel coupling 

and consequent failure of the RAT yoke 

fitting, which could result in the loss of 

RAT function and possible loss of 

critical flight control systems in the 

event of certain emergency situations. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by November 10, 

2008.
