Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
airplanes equipped with Precise Flight,
Inc. (Precise Flight) Models SVS I and
SVS IA standby vacuum systems (SVS)
installed under certain supplemental
type certificates or through field
approval. This proposed AD would
require you to replace the airplane flight
manual supplement (AFMS) in the
airplane flight manual with the
appropriate revision and install placards
as defined in the AFMS, upgrade the
Model SVS I or SVS IA SVS to the
Model VI SVS, and add the instructions
for continued airworthiness (ICA) to the
maintenance schedule for the aircraft.
This proposed AD results from several
reports of failed shuttle control valves of
the standby vacuum system (SVS) and
one report of an airplane crash with a
fatality in which improper use of the
SVS was a factor. We are issuing this
proposed AD to correct problems with
the SVS before failure or malfunction
during instrument flight rules (IFR)
flight that can lead to pilot
disorientation and loss of control of the
aircraft.
DATES: We must receive any comments
on this proposed AD by April 29, 2005.

Discussion
What events have caused this
proposed AD? The FAA has received
several reports of problems on aircraft
equipped with a Precise Flight, Inc.
standby vacuum system (SVS). In
particular, the reports show 14 incidents
of failed shuttle control valves and one
report of an airplane crash with a
fatality where improper use of the SVS
was a factor that caused us to issue AD
99–24–10, Amendment 39–11434 (64
FR 66747, November 30, 1999). AD 99–
24–10 currently requires the following
on all aircraft equipped with Precise
Flight, Inc. Model SVS III standby
vacuum systems installed under the
applicable supplemental type certificate
(STC) or through field approval:
—Incorporate revised operating
limitations for the affected SVS into
the airplane flight manual (AFM);
—Inspect (repetitively) the push-pull
cable, vacuum lines, saddle fittings,
and shuttle valve for correct
installation and damage (wear,
chafing, deterioration, and so forth);
and
—Correct any discrepancy found and
conduct a function test of the vacuum
system after the inspections.
The SVS is intended to provide
emergency vacuum power for aircraft
instruments when the primary vacuum
system fails. The design of the Precise
Flight, Inc. Models SVS I and SVS IA
SVS is similar to the Model SVS III SVS,
and so it may not be able to provide
sufficient vacuum power to correctly
measure altitude and operate the
vacuum instruments. The upgrade of the
Models SVS I or IA SVS to the Model
SVS VI SVS provides sufficient vacuum
power to correctly measure altitude and
operate the vacuum instruments.
Failure of the SVS in instrument flight
rules (IFR) can lead to the pilot making
incorrect decisions based on the data
received from the instruments with
consequent loss of control of the
aircraft.
The Precise Flight, Inc. Models SVS I
and SVS IA SVS are installed on aircraft
through a supplemental type certificate
(STC) or through field approval. The
Applicability section of the proposed
AD lists the applicable STCs and aircraft
that could have these SVS installed.
This list is not meant to be exhaustive
nor does it include all aircraft with the
systems installed through field
approval.
What is the potential impact if FAA
took no action? Failure or malfunction
of the SVS during IFR flight can lead to
pilot disorientation and loss of control
of the aircraft.
Is there service information that
applies to this subject? Precise Flight,
Inc. has issued Installation Report No.
08080, Standby Vacuum System Model
VI—Shuttle Valve S/N 10243 &
Subsequent (Manual Valve), Revision A,
dated February 21, 2001. This report
provides instructions for the upgrade of
the Models SVS I or SVS IA SVS to the
Model VI SVS; and includes procedures
for upgrading to the Model SVS VI SVS.
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of This Proposed AD
What has FAA decided? We have
evaluated all pertinent information and
identified an unsafe condition that is
likely to exist or develop on other
products of this same type design. For
this reason, we are proposing AD action.
What would this proposed AD
require? This proposed AD would
require you to replace the airplane flight
manual supplement (AFMS) in the
airplane flight manual with the
appropriate revision and install placards
as defined in the AFMS, upgrade the
Model SVS I or SVS IA SVS to the
Model VI SVS, and add the instructions
for continued airworthiness (ICA) to the
maintenance schedule for the aircraft.
How does the revision to 14 CFR part
39 affect this proposed AD? On July 10,
2002, we published a new version of 14
CFR part 39 (67 FR 47997, July 22,
2002), which governs FAA’s AD system.
This regulation now includes material
that relates to altered products, special
flight permits, and alternative methods
of compliance. This material previously
was included in each individual AD.
Since this material is included in 14
CFR part 39, we will not include it in
future AD actions.
Costs of Compliance
How many airplanes would this
proposed AD impact? We estimate that
this proposed AD affects 800 airplanes
in the U.S. registry.
What would be the cost impact of this
proposed AD on owners/operators of the
affected airplanes? We estimate the
following costs to replace the airplane
flight manual supplement (AFMS) in
the airplane flight manual with the
appropriate revision. We have no way of
determining the number of airplanes
that may need this replacement:
Labor cost
Parts cost
Total cost

Regulatory Findings
Would this proposed AD impact
various entities? 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.
Would this proposed AD involve a
significant rule or regulatory action? For
the reasons discussed above, I certify
that this proposed 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 summary of the costs
to comply with this proposed AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get
a copy of this summary by sending a
request to us at the address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ‘‘AD Docket FAA–
2004–19354; Directorate Identifier
2004–CE–30–AD’’ in your request.

Airworthiness Directives; Precise Flight, Inc. Models SVS I and
SVS IA Standby Vacuum Systems
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all airplanes equipped with Precise Flight, Inc. (Precise Flight)
Models SVS I and SVS IA standby vacuum systems (SVS) installed under
certain supplemental type certificates or through field approval. This
proposed AD would require you to replace the airplane flight manual
supplement (AFMS) in the airplane flight manual with the appropriate
revision and install placards as defined in the AFMS, upgrade the Model
SVS I or SVS IA SVS to the Model VI SVS, and add the instructions for
continued airworthiness (ICA) to the maintenance schedule for the
aircraft. This proposed AD results from several reports of failed
shuttle control valves of the standby vacuum system (SVS) and one
report of an airplane crash with a fatality in which improper use of
the SVS was a factor. We are issuing this proposed AD to correct
problems with the SVS before failure or malfunction during instrument
flight rules (IFR) flight that can lead to pilot disorientation and
loss of control of the aircraft.

Discussion
What events have caused this proposed AD? The FAA has received
several reports of problems on aircraft equipped with a Precise Flight,
Inc. standby vacuum system (SVS). In particular, the reports show 14
incidents of failed shuttle control valves and one report of an
airplane crash with a fatality where improper use of the SVS was a
factor that caused us to issue AD 99-24-10, Amendment 39-11434 (64 FR
66747, November 30, 1999). AD 99-24-10 currently requires the following
on all aircraft equipped with Precise Flight, Inc. Model SVS III
standby vacuum systems installed under the applicable supplemental type
certificate (STC) or through field approval:
--Incorporate revised operating limitations for the affected SVS into
the airplane flight manual (AFM);
--Inspect (repetitively) the push-pull cable, vacuum lines, saddle
fittings, and shuttle valve for correct installation and damage (wear,
chafing, deterioration, and so forth); and
--Correct any discrepancy found and conduct a function test of the
vacuum system after the inspections.
The SVS is intended to provide emergency vacuum power for aircraft
instruments when the primary vacuum system fails. The design of the
Precise Flight, Inc. Models SVS I and SVS IA SVS is similar to the
Model SVS III SVS, and so it may not be able to provide sufficient
vacuum power to correctly measure altitude and operate the vacuum
instruments. The upgrade of the Models SVS I or IA SVS to the Model SVS
VI SVS provides sufficient vacuum power to correctly measure altitude
and operate the vacuum instruments.
Failure of the SVS in instrument flight rules (IFR) can lead to the
pilot making incorrect decisions based on the data received from the
instruments with consequent loss of control of the aircraft.
The Precise Flight, Inc. Models SVS I and SVS IA SVS are installed
on aircraft through a supplemental type certificate (STC) or through
field approval. The Applicability section of the proposed AD lists the
applicable STCs and aircraft that could have these SVS installed. This
list is not meant to be exhaustive nor does it include all aircraft
with the systems installed through field approval.
What is the potential impact if FAA took no action? Failure or
malfunction of the SVS during IFR flight can lead to pilot
disorientation and loss of control of the aircraft.
Is there service information that applies to this subject? Precise
Flight, Inc. has issued Installation Report No. 08080, Standby Vacuum
System Model VI--Shuttle Valve S/N 10243 & Subsequent (Manual Valve),
Revision A, dated February 21, 2001. This report provides instructions
for the upgrade of the Models SVS I or SVS IA SVS to the Model VI SVS;
and includes procedures for upgrading to the Model SVS VI SVS.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD
What has FAA decided? We have evaluated all pertinent information
and identified an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop
on other products of this same type design. For this reason, we are
proposing AD action.
What would this proposed AD require? This proposed AD would require
you to replace the airplane flight manual supplement (AFMS) in the
airplane flight manual with the appropriate revision and install
placards as defined in the AFMS, upgrade the Model SVS I or SVS IA SVS
to the Model VI SVS, and add the instructions for continued
airworthiness (ICA) to the maintenance schedule for the aircraft.
How does the revision to 14 CFR part 39 affect this proposed AD? On
July 10, 2002, we published a new version of 14 CFR part 39 (67 FR
47997, July 22, 2002), which governs FAA's AD system. This regulation
now includes material that relates to altered products, special flight
permits, and alternative methods of compliance. This material
previously was included in each individual AD. Since this material is
included in 14 CFR part 39, we will not include it in future AD
actions.
Costs of Compliance
How many airplanes would this proposed AD impact? We estimate that
this proposed AD affects 800 airplanes in the U.S. registry.
What would be the cost impact of this proposed AD on owners/
operators of the affected airplanes? We estimate the following costs to
replace the airplane flight manual supplement (AFMS) in the airplane
flight manual with the appropriate revision. We have no way of
determining the number of airplanes that may need this replacement:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per
Labor cost Parts cost airplane
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 work hour x $65 = $65............... None $65
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any upgrade to the Model SVS
VI SVS, install placards, and add the installation report including the
instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) to the maintenance
schedule for the aircraft. We have no way of determining the number of
airplanes that may need this upgrade:
[[Page 10519]]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per
Labor cost Parts cost airplane
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 work hour x $65 = $195.............. $77 $272
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regulatory Findings
Would this proposed AD impact various entities? 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.
Would this proposed AD involve a significant rule or regulatory
action? For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this proposed
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 summary of the costs to comply with this proposed AD
and placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary by
sending a request to us at the address listed under ADDRESSES. Include
``AD Docket FAA-2004-19354; Directorate Identifier 2004-CE-30-AD'' in
your request.
