ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Ipeco Holdings Ltd. (Ipeco) pilot and copilot seats. This AD requires 

modification and reidentification of the

by reports of unexpected movement of 

pilot and co-pilot seats on takeoff and 

landing. We are issuing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

December 12, 2017. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of December 12, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on June 16, 2017 (82 FR 27629). 

The NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Occurrences have been reported of pilot/ 

co-pilot unexpected rearward movement 

during take-off and landing. Investigations 

determined that horizontal guide block wear, 

presence of burrs on horizontal centre track, 

and horizontal track lock system weakness 

(spring tension too low) were various causes 

which contributed to the seat not being 

correctly locked. 

This condition, if not corrected, could lead 

to further cases of unwanted flight crew seat 

movement, possibly resulting in reduced 

control of the aeroplane. 

You may obtain further information 

by examining the MCAI in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2017– 

0490. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this final rule. 

The following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Shorten Compliance Time 

The Air Line Pilots Association 

(ALPA) requested that the FAA work 

with EASA to reevaluate the compliance 

time for this AD. ALPA indicated that 

the requirements of this AD could be 

accomplished in a shorter timeframe 

that would enhance safety. 

ALPA did not provide data or a 

detailed explanation with respect to its 

request for a shorter time frame. 

Consequently, upon further review of 

the risk analysis with EASA, we 

determined the proposed time frame for 

accomplishment of this AD is 

appropriate. 

Miscellaneous Comments 

We received miscellaneous comments 

not relevant to this AD. No further 

response is required. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Ipeco has issued Service Bulletin (SB) 

Number 063–25–08, Revision 00; SB 

Number 063–25–09, Revision 00; and 

SB Number 063–25–10, Revision 00; all 

dated May 31, 2016. These SBs provide 

instructions, differentiated by the part 

numbers of the affected pilot and copilot seats, for the modification and 

reidentification of these seats. This 

service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects an 

unknown number of pilot and co-pilot 

seats installed on 55 airplanes of U.S. 

registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD:

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. 

This AD is issued in accordance with 

authority delegated by the Executive 

Director, Aircraft Certification Service, 

as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. 

In accordance with that order, issuance 

of ADs is normally a function of the 

Compliance and Airworthiness 

Division, but during this transition 

period, the Executive Director has 

delegated the authority to issue ADs 

applicable to engines, propellers, and 

associated appliances to the Manager, 

Engine and Propeller Standards Branch, 

Policy and Innovation Division. 

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), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) 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.

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority

landing. The unsafe condition, if not 

corrected, could result in reduced control of 

the airplane.
