[Federal Register Volume 77, Number 168 (Wednesday, August 29, 2012)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 52205-52212] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2012-21018] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA-2011-0360; Directorate Identifier 2010-CE-061-AD; Amendment 39-17023; AD 2012-08-06] RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; Univair Aircraft Corporation Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Univair Aircraft Corporation Models (ERCO) 415-C, 415-CD, 415-D, E, G; (Forney) F-1 and F-1A; (Alon) A-2 and A2-A; and (Mooney) M10 airplanes. That AD currently requires an inspection of the aileron balance assembly and ailerons for cracks and excessive looseness of associated parts with the required repair or replacement of defective parts as necessary. This new AD would add airplanes to the Applicability section; require inspections of the ailerons, aileron balance assembly, and aileron rigging for looseness or wear, require repair or replacement of parts as necessary; and require a report of the inspection results. This new AD was prompted by a report of a Univair Aircraft Corporation Model ERCO 415-D Ercoupe that crashed after an in-flight [[Page 52206]] breakup due to possible aileron flutter. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective October 3, 2012. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of October 3, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 52-02-02 (21 FR 9447, December 4, 1956). That AD applies to the specified products. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 14, 2011 (76 FR 20894, April 14, 2011). That NPRM proposed to add airplanes to the Applicability section; require inspections of the ailerons, aileron balance assembly, and aileron rigging for looseness or wear; repair or replacement of parts as necessary; and require a report of the inspection results. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal (76 FR 20894, April 14, 2011) and the FAA's response to each comment. Request To Withdraw NPRM or Change the Inspection Interval William R. Bayne and Hartmut Beil stated that the service bulletin and/or the manufacturer's existing recommendations, such as lubricating control rod ends at 300 hour intervals, are adequate, and the existing AD 52-02-02 (21 FR 9447, December 4, 1956) is sufficient. They stated that the number of in-flight breakups do not identify a failure of the flight control system and do not justify the need for AD action. They also stated the inspection interval should be 300 hours instead of 100 hours to match the existing recommendations, and the proposed AD puts a financial burden on owners with little or no gain for safety. We disagree with these comments. This AD will add airplanes to the Applicability section that were not included in AD 52-02-02 (21 FR 9447, December 4, 1956). Also, the flight control free play limits can vary or be out of tolerance for many more reasons than not doing the 300-hour lubrication requirement. Also, varying field reports indicated that the majority of flight control systems are not in tolerance. In addition, Ercoupe Service Memorandum No. 57, Revision A, dated September 1, 2008, recommends free play inspection every 100 hours. Request To Allow for Credit for the Calibration of the Airspeed Indicator Linda Abrams requested we change the calibration of the airspeed indicator (ASI) requirement, paragraph (g)(8) of the proposed AD (76 FR 20894, April 14, 2011), to allow for ``unless already done'' credit since that applies to the other inspection requirements, and it would impose a financial burden on owners and operators. We agree. ``Unless already done'' credit will be applied for the ASI calibration requirement in paragraph (g)(8) of this AD as all other ``unless already done'' credit is being applied by reference to the Compliance section, paragraph (f) of this AD. Request To Reference Mooney M-10 Service and Maintenance Manual James E. Dyer of Univair requested the Mooney M-10 service and maintenance requirements be addressed by separate applicable service information since the Ercoupe Service Memorandum No. 57 and 35A, both Revisions A, both dated September 1, 2008, are not applicable to the Mooney M-10. We agree. We revised the ``Required Actions'' section paragraph (g) of this AD by adding text that requires inspecting and taking corrective action on the Mooney M-10 flight control system per pages 5- 1 through 5-4 of the Mooney M-10 Service and Maintenance Manual, Serial Numbers 690001 through 690011 and 700001 and on, Revision A, dated September 1, 2008. We also added Ercoupe Service Memorandum No. 35A, Revision A, dated September 1, 2008, to the applicable service information, and added an area to the reporting requirement pertaining to the use of Ercoupe Service Memorandum No. 35A, Revision A, dated September 1, 2008. Request To Reference Ercoupe Service Bulletin No. 20 for the Aileron Balance Assembly Requirements James E. Dyer commented that Ercoupe Service Memorandum No. 20, Revision A, dated September 1, 2008, is only referenced in the one-time reporting requirement of the ``Required Actions'' section, paragraph (g) of the proposed AD and not referenced as a procedural requirement for the inspection of ailerons with counter weights. We agree. We have revised this AD by adding Ercoupe Service Memorandum No. 20, Revision A, dated September 1, 2008, as a reference in the ``Required Actions'' section, paragraph (g), of this AD pertaining to airplanes with the aileron balance assembly (ERCO part number (P/N) 415-16009). Request To Require the Airspeed Indicator Calibration To Be Done at an Instrument Repair Facility James E. Dyer, Linda T. Abrams, and Jack Chmiel commented that the calibration test for the ASI should be completed by an authorized instrument repair facility because Advisory Circular AC 23-8B, Appendix 9 contains technical requirements that exceed the ability of most owner/operators, repair stations, or Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) mechanics on this class of airplane. We partially agree. We have revised the ``Required Actions'' section, paragraph (g)(8) of this AD to require an FAA-authorized instrument repair facility to calibrate the ASI if the bench test method is used. However we will allow an exception for global positioning system (GPS) or other owner/operator FAA-approved methods of calibrating the ASI following the instructions in FAA Advisory Circular AC 23-8C, Appendix 9, dated [[Page 52207]] November 16, 2011. These procedures will be repetitively required every 4 years and any time maintenance affects the system integrity. Request To Make the Reporting Requirement a One-Time Action Jack Chmiel, William R. Bayne, and an anonymous commenter stated they did not think the Inspection Report should be submitted after each inspection interval. They didn't feel the referenced report was clearly defined in the NPRM as a one-time report that is only required at the time of initial compliance with the AD. We agree. We have revised this AD to clearly state the reporting requirement is a one-time action submitted after the initial inspection. Request To Update the P/N ``Costs of Compliance'' James E. Dyer commented that there has been a revision to a P/N listed in the ``Costs of Compliance'' section of this AD, and we should change the P/N. We agree. We revised this AD to reflect the aileron hinge and rudder hinge P/N from 415-24003 to F24003 in the ``Costs of Compliance'' section. Request To Limit the Aileron Free Play Vince Hammons and Jack Chmiel commented that the aileron free play should be limited to \1/8\ inch to \5/16\ inch, which they believe would be easily attainable and would remove any confusion on allowable amount of free play. We do not agree. Ercoupe Service Memorandums No. 56 and No. 57, both Revisions A, both dated September 1, 2008, state that \7/16\ inch is allowable for ailerons with counter weights, and \5/16\ inch is allowable for ailerons without counter weights per the original design. Anything less could be unattainable due to different wear patterns and usage between airplane units and the services times and duration of the type design for the fleet since inception. Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 20894, April 14, 2011) for correcting the unsafe condition; and Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 20894, April 14, 2011). We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 2,600 airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD: Estimated Retained Costs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost per Cost on U.S. Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspect the ailerons for cracks 4 work-hours x $85 per Not applicable.... $340 $884,000 in the support structure and hour = $340. skin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated New Costs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost per Cost on U.S. Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remove load from nose wheel and .5 work-hour x $85 per Not applicable.... $42.50 $110,500 adjust rigging. hour = $42.50. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements for the flight control system that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have no way of determining the number of airplanes that may need this replacement: On-Condition Costs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost per Action Labor cost Parts cost product ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Install aileron hinge............ 2 work-hours x $85 per Aileron Hinge Part Number (P/N) $195 hour = $170. F24003 $25. Install elevator hinge........... 2 work-hours x $85 per Elevator Hinge P/N 415-22007 $40.. 210 hour = $170. Install elevator hinge........... 2 work-hours x $85 per Elevator Hinge P/N 415-22008 $83.. 253 hour = $170. Install rudder hinge............. 2 work-hours x $85 per Rudder Hinge P/N F24003 $25....... 195 hour = $170. Install aileron rod-end bearing.. 2 work-hours x $85 per Aileron Rod-End Bearing P/N GMM-3M- 190 hour = $170. 670 $20. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 [[Page 52208]] 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), (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.
