ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Avcraft Dornier Model 328–100 and
–300 airplanes. This AD requires a
pressure test and detailed inspection of
each fuselage drain line to determine if
there is a blockage, and related
investigative/corrective actions if
necessary. This AD is prompted by a
report of leakage at one of the drain
lines in the fuselage. We are issuing this
AD to prevent blockage within the drain

lines, causing fluids to collect. These
fluids may freeze and expand, damaging
the drain lines, and allowing fuel to leak
into the cabin and fuel vapors to come
into contact with ignition sources,
which could result in consequent fire in
the cabin.
DATES: This AD becomes effective July
26, 2005.
The incorporation by reference of
certain publications listed in the AD is
approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of July 26, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with
an AD for certain Avcraft Dornier Model
328–100 and –300 series airplanes. That
action, published in the Federal
Register on April 6, 2005 (70 FR 17357),
proposed to require a pressure test and
detailed inspection of each fuselage
drain line to determine if there is a
blockage, and related investigative/
corrective actions if necessary.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. No comments
have been submitted on the proposed
AD or on the determination of the cost
to the public.
Explanation of Change to Applicability
We have revised the applicability of
the proposed AD to identify model
designations as published in the most
recent type certificate data sheet for the
affected models. In addition, we noticed
that we had inadvertently reversed the
qualifiers of the airplane models
specified in the applicability of the
proposed AD. The applicability for this
AD has been corrected for this AD and
now reads, ‘‘This AD applies to Avcraft
Dornier Model 328–100 series airplanes
having serial numbers 3005 through
3119 inclusive, and Avcraft Dornier

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 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); 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. See the ADDRESSES section for

BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
Model BAe 146 and Avro 146–RJ
airplanes. This AD requires modifying
the auxiliary power unit (APU) exhaust
duct in the environmental control
system (ECS) bay; installing new,
improved insulation on this APU

ECS bay is higher than the certificated
maximum temperature for this area. We
are issuing this AD to prevent the
potential for ignition of fuel or
hydraulic fluid, which could leak from
pipes running through the ECS bay.
Ignition of these flammable fluids could
result in a fire in the ECS bay.
DATES: This AD becomes effective July
26, 2005.
The incorporation by reference of a
certain publication listed in the AD is

AD or on the determination of the cost
to the public.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data and determined that air

adopting the AD with the change
described previously. We have
determined that this change will neither
increase the economic burden on any
operator nor increase the scope of the
AD.
Costs of Compliance
This AD will affect about 65 airplanes
of U.S. registry. The actions will take
about 1 work hour per airplane, at an
average labor rate of $65 per work hour.
Required parts will cost about $3,766
per airplane. Based on these figures, the
estimated cost of the AD for U.S.
operators is $249,015, or $3,831 per
airplane.

Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
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]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):
2005-13-04 AvCraft Aerospace Gmbh (Formerly Fairchild Dornier GmbH):
Amendment 39-14140. Docket No. FAA-2005-20866; Directorate
Identifier 2004-NM-258-AD.
Effective Date
(a) This AD becomes effective July 26, 2005.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to AvCraft Dornier Model 328-100 series
airplanes having serial numbers 3005 through 3119 inclusive, and
AvCraft Dornier Model 328-300 series airplanes without option
033F003 ``Extended Range'' installed; certificated in any category.
Unsafe Condition
(d) This AD was prompted by a report of leakage at one of the
drain lines in the fuselage. We are issuing this AD to prevent
blockage within the drain lines, causing fluids to collect. These
fluids may freeze and expand, damaging the drain lines, and allowing
fuel to leak into the cabin and fuel vapors to come into contact
with ignition sources, which could result in consequent fire in the
cabin.
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.
Initial Pressure Test
(f) Within 4 months after the effective date of this AD: Perform
an initial pressure test and any applicable related investigative
and corrective actions in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Avcraft Service Bulletin SB-328-53-462, Revision 1,
dated July 15, 2004 (for Model 328-100 series airplanes); or SB-
328J-53-214, Revision 1, dated July 15, 2004 (for Model 328-300
series airplanes); as applicable. Do any applicable related
investigative or corrective action before further flight.
Detailed Inspection
(g) After doing the pressure test required by paragraph (f) of
this AD, but not later than 24 months after the effective date of
this AD: Perform a detailed inspection and related investigative and
corrective actions, in accordance with Part 2 of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Avcraft Service Bulletin SB-328-53-462, Revision 1,
dated July 15, 2004; or SB-328J-53-214, Revision 1, dated July 15,
2004; as applicable.
Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a detailed inspection is:
``An intensive examination of a specific item, installation, or
assembly to detect damage, failure, or irregularity. Available
lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good
lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as
mirror, magnifying lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface cleaning
and elaborate procedures may be required.''
