AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

Incidents have been reported on BrittenNorman BN–2 aircraft, where cracks were 

found in the inner shell of the pitot/static 

pressure heads. The investigation concluded 

that these pitot tubes, supplied by Thales 

Optronics, could be operated outside their 

voltage specification. On December 15th, 

2005, CAA [Civil Aviation Authority] United 

Kingdom issued AD G–2005–0034 (EASA 

approval number 2005–6447), later 

superseded by EASA AD 2006–0143, to 

require inspections and leak tests on BrittenNorman aircraft. Subsequently, it has been 

discovered that the same tubes are supplied 

to EADS–CASA for installation on C–212 

aircraft, one for the pilot side and one for the 

co-pilot side. So far, EADS–CASA has not 

received any report of cracked pitot tubes 

from C–212 operators. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in incorrect readings on the pressure 

instrumentation, e.g., altimeters, vertical 

speed indicators (rate of climb) and airspeed 

indicators, potentially leading to navigational 

errors. 

* * * * * 

The unsafe condition could reduce the 

ability of the flightcrew to maintain the 

safe flight and landing of the airplane. 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 

16, 2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of July 16, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on February 23, 2009 (74 FR 

8043). That NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Incidents have been reported on BrittenNorman BN–2 aircraft, where cracks were 

found in the inner shell of the pitot/static 

pressure heads. The investigation concluded 

that these pitot tubes, supplied by Thales 

Optronics, could be operated outside their 

voltage specification. On December 15th, 

2005, CAA [Civil Aviation Authority] United 

Kingdom issued AD G–2005–0034 (EASA 

approval number 2005–6447), later 

superseded by EASA AD 2006–0143, to 

require inspections and leak tests on BrittenNorman aircraft. Subsequently, it has been 

discovered that the same tubes are supplied 

to EADS–CASA for installation on C–212 

aircraft, one for the pilot side and one for the 

co-pilot side. So far, EADS–CASA has not 

received any report of cracked pitot tubes 

from C–212 operators. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in incorrect readings on the pressure 

instrumentation, e.g., altimeters, vertical 

speed indicators (rate of climb) and airspeed 

indicators, potentially leading to navigational 

errors. 

For the reasons described above, this EASA 

AD requires the inspection of the affected 

pitot tubes, and, if cracks are found, 

replacement of those tubes with the new P/ 

N [part number] 212–A0150–0001 and 212– 

A0150–0002 pitot tubes. 

The unsafe condition could reduce the 

ability of the flightcrew to maintain the 

safe flight and landing of the airplane. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 111 / Thursday, June 11, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 27703 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow our FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a NOTE within the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

32 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 1 workhour per product to comply with the 

basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to 

be $2,560, or $80 per product. 

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 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 this AD: 

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 AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains the NPRM, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES

section. Comments will be available in 

the AD docket shortly after receipt.

Adoption of the Amendment 

■ Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA 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 AD: 

2009–12–04 Construcciones Aeronauticas, 

S.A. (CASA): Amendment 39–15927. 

Docket No. FAA–2009–0005; Directorate 

Identifier 2008–NM–164–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective July 16, 2009. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to CASA Model C– 

212–CB, C–212–CC, C–212–CD, C–212–CE, 

C–212–CF, and C–212–DE airplanes, all 

serial numbers; certificated in any category; 

on which pitot tubes having part number 

212–61105.1 or 212–61105.2 are installed. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 34: Navigation. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

‘‘Incidents have been reported on BrittenNorman BN–2 aircraft, where cracks were 

found in the inner shell of the pitot/static 

pressure heads. The investigation concluded 

that these pitot tubes, supplied by Thales 

Optronics, could be operated outside their 

voltage specification. On December 15th, 

2005, CAA [Civil Aviation Authority] United 

Kingdom issued AD G–2005–0034 (EASA 

approval number 2005–6447), later 

superseded by EASA AD 2006–0143, to 

require inspections and leak tests on BrittenNorman aircraft. Subsequently, it has been 

discovered that the same tubes are supplied 

to EADS–CASA for installation on C–212 

aircraft, one for the pilot side and one for the 

co-pilot side. So far, EADS–CASA has not 

received any report of cracked pitot tubes 

from C–212 operators. 

‘‘This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in incorrect readings on the pressure 

instrumentation, e.g., altimeters, vertical 

speed indicators (rate of climb) and airspeed 

indicators, potentially leading to navigational 

errors. 

‘‘For the reasons described above, this 

EASA AD requires the inspection of the 

affected pitot tubes, and, if cracks are found, 

replacement of those tubes with the new P/ 

N [part number] 212–A0150–0001 and 212– 

A0150–0002 pitot tubes. 

The unsafe condition could reduce the ability 

of the flightcrew to maintain the safe flight 

and landing of the airplane. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) Within 1 month or 300 flight hours after 

the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first: Perform a detailed inspection of 

the affected pitot tubes and static inlets for 

radial cracking around the top lip of the 

dynamic port, in accordance with the 

instructions of Chapter 5 of the CASA C–212 

Series 100/200 Maintenance Manual, 

Revision 2, dated June 11, 2002. Repeat the 

inspection thereafter at intervals not to 

exceed 300 flight hours. 

(2) If any crack is found during any 

inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this 

AD, before further flight, replace the pitot 

tube with a new pitot tube having P/N 212– 

A0150–0001 or 212–A0150–0002 in 

accordance with the instructions of CASA 

Service Bulletin SB–212–34–11, Revision 1, 

dated February 27, 2008. Replacement of 

both pitot tubes having part number 212– 

61105.1 and 212–61105.2 with new tubes 

terminates the repetitive inspections required 

by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Boeing Model 757–200, –200CB, and 

–300 series airplanes. This AD requires 

a detailed inspection for damage of the 

wire bundle of the right recirculation 

fan, and repair if necessary. This AD 

also requires re-routing the wire bundle 

of the right recirculation fan. This AD 

results from a report indicating that, 

during landing of a Model 757 airplane, 

an overheat warning and smoke 

occurred in the main cabin, and the 

right recirculation fan stopped 

operating. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent damage of the wiring bundle of 

the right recirculation fan. Such damage 

could result in a short circuit and 

possible fire in the mix bay or smoke in 

the main cabin. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 16, 

2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of July 16, 2009.
