Discussion
We have received a report indicating
that a cockpit ventilation and avionics
cooling system blower motor seized up
and gave off smoke on a Raytheon
Hawker Model 125–800 airplane.
Investigation revealed inadequate short
circuit protection on the blower motor
electrical circuit. This condition, if not
corrected, could result in smoke and
fumes in the cockpit in the event that a
blower motor seizes and overheats due
to excessive current draw.
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed Raytheon Service
Bulletin SB 24–3272, Revision 1, dated
October 2000. The service bulletin
describes procedures for inspecting to
determine the current rating of the
circuit breakers of certain cockpit
ventilation and avionics cooling system
blowers; and for replacing the circuit
breakers and modifying the blower
wiring, if applicable. Accomplishing the
actions specified in the service
information is intended to adequately
address the unsafe condition.
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of the Proposed AD
We have evaluated all pertinent
information and identified an unsafe
condition that is likely to exist or
develop on other airplanes of this same
type design. Therefore, we are
proposing this AD, which would require
accomplishing the actions specified in
the service information described
previously, except as discussed under
‘‘Difference Between the Proposed AD
and the Service Information.’’
Difference Between the Proposed AD
and Service Information
Although the service bulletin
specifies that operators may contact the
manufacturer for disposition of certain
repair conditions, this proposed AD
would require operators to repair those
conditions according to a method
approved by the FAA.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 350 airplanes of the
affected design in the worldwide fleet.
This proposed AD would affect about
250 airplanes of U.S. registry. The
following table provides the estimated
costs for U.S. operators to comply with
this proposed AD.
INSPECTION AND MODIFICATION COSTS

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.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Boeing Model 737–600, –700,
–700C, –800, and –900 series airplanes.
This proposed AD would require
repetitive general visual inspections for
dirt, debris, and drain blockage and
cleaning of the aft fairing cavities of the
engine struts; and modification of the aft
fairings, which would terminate the
repetitive general visual inspections.
This proposed AD is prompted by a
report indicating that water had
accumulated in the cavities of the
engine strut aft fairings. We are
proposing this AD to prevent drain
blockage by debris that, when combined
with leaking, flammable fluid lines
passing through the engine strut aft
fairing, could allow flammable fluids to
build up in the cavity of the aft fairing,
and consequently could be ignited by
the engine exhaust nozzle located below
the engine strut, resulting in an
explosion or uncontrolled fire.
DATES: We must receive comments on
this proposed AD by March 10, 2005.

Discussion
We have received a report indicating that a cockpit ventilation and
avionics cooling system blower motor seized up and gave off smoke on a
Raytheon Hawker Model 125-800 airplane. Investigation revealed
inadequate short circuit protection on the blower motor electrical
circuit. This condition, if not corrected, could result in smoke and
fumes in the cockpit in the event that a blower motor seizes and
overheats due to excessive current draw.
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed Raytheon Service Bulletin SB 24-3272, Revision 1,
dated October 2000. The service bulletin describes procedures for
inspecting to determine the current rating of the circuit breakers of
certain cockpit ventilation and avionics cooling system blowers; and
for replacing the circuit breakers and modifying the blower wiring, if
applicable. Accomplishing the actions specified in the service
information is intended to adequately address the unsafe condition.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD
We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an
unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on other airplanes
of this same type design. Therefore, we are proposing this AD, which
would require accomplishing the actions specified in the service
information described previously, except as discussed under
``Difference Between the Proposed AD and the Service Information.''
Difference Between the Proposed AD and Service Information
Although the service bulletin specifies that operators may contact
the manufacturer for disposition of certain repair conditions, this
proposed AD would require operators to repair those conditions
according to a method approved by the FAA.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 350 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. This proposed AD would affect about 250 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The following table provides the estimated costs for
U.S. operators to comply with this proposed AD.

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. See the ADDRESSES section for a location
to examine the regulatory evaluation.

The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new
airworthiness directive (AD):
[[Page 3320]]
Raytheon Aircraft Company: Docket No. FAA-2005-20111; Directorate
Identifier 2004-NM-154-AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must receive
comments on this AD action by March 10, 2005.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Raytheon Model HS.125 series 700A
airplanes, Model BAe.125 series 800A airplanes, and Model Hawker 800
and Hawker 800XP airplanes; equipped with Brailsford TBL-2.5
blowers; as identified in Raytheon Service Bulletin SB 24-3272,
Revision 1, dated October 2000; certificated in any category.
Unsafe Condition
(d) This AD was prompted by a report indicating that a cockpit
ventilation and avionics cooling system blower motor seized up and
gave off smoke due to inadequate short circuit protection on the
blower motor electrical circuit. We are issuing this AD to prevent
smoke and fumes in the cockpit in the event that a blower motor
seizes and overheats due to excessive current draw.
Compliance
(e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.
Inspection and Corrective Actions
(f) Within 600 flight hours or six months after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs first, inspect to determine the
current rating of the circuit breakers of certain cockpit
ventilation and avionics cooling system blowers; and replace the
circuit breakers and modify the blower wiring, as applicable; by
doing all the actions in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Raytheon Service Bulletin SB 24-3272, Revision 1,
dated October 2000.
Contacting the Manufacturer
(g) Where the service bulletin suggests contacting the
manufacturer for information if any difficulties are encountered
while accomplishing the service bulletin, this AD would require you
to contact the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA.
Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)
(h) The Manager, Wichita ACO, has the authority to approve AMOCs
for this AD, if requested in accordance with the procedures found in
14 CFR 39.19.
Issued in Renton, Washington, on January 12, 2005.
Ali Bahrami,
Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification
Service.
