Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for
Goodrich De-icing and Specialty
Systems ‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icers,
part numbers P4E1188 series, P4E1601
series, P4E2200 series, P4E2271–10,
P4E2575–7, P4E2575–10, P4E2598–10,
P5855BSW, P6199SW, P6592SW,
P6662SW, and P6975–11, installed. This
AD requires inspection, repair, or
replacement of those ‘‘FASTprop’’
propeller de-icers that fail daily visual
checks. This AD results from reports of
Goodrich ‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller deicers becoming loose or debonded, and
detaching from propeller blades during
operation.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
October 14, 2005. The Director of the

294–8110; fax (847) 294–7834.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with
a proposed airworthiness directive (AD).
The proposed AD applies to Goodrich
De-icing and Specialty Systems
‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icers, part
numbers P4E1188 series, P4E1601
series, P4E2200 series, P4E2271–10,
P4E2575–7, P4E2575–10, P4E2598–10,
P5855BSW, P6199SW, P6592SW,
P6662SW, and P6975–11. We published
the proposed AD in the Federal Register
on April 6, 2005 (70 FR 17361). That
action proposed to require inspection,
repair, or replacement of those
‘‘FASTprop’’ propeller de-icers that fail
visual checks before the first flight each
day.
Friday, except Federal holidays. The
Docket Office (telephone (800) 647–
5227) is located on the plaza level of the
Department of Transportation Nassif
Building at the street address stated in
ADDRESSES. Comments will be available
in the AD docket shortly after the DMS
receives them.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the docket that
contains the AD, any comments
received, and any final disposition in
person at the Docket Management
System (DMS) Docket Office between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through
We have carefully reviewed the
available data, including the comment
received, and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described
previously. We have determined that
these changes will neither increase the

Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have
considered the one comment received.
The commenter states that we need to
clarify the compliance section, and
requests that any pilot be able to make
required logbook entries after the visual
check of propeller de-icers regardless of
how the airplane is operated, whether
under 14 CFR part 91, part 135, or part
121. The commenter interprets
Goodrich De-icing and Specialty
Systems Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
No. 30–60–00–1, dated November 15,
2004, as only allowing private pilots
operating under 14 CFR part 91 to make
the required logbook entries.
We agree that we need to clarify the
compliance section. Accordingly, we
added the following statement to the
compliance section of this AD:
‘‘Properly certificated maintenance
personnel must perform the initial
inspection required in this AD.
Thereafter, the pilot or properly
certificated maintenance personnel may
perform the repetitive visual check.’’

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 174 / Friday, September 9, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
economic burden on any operator nor
increase the scope of the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that 3,400 Goodrich
propeller de-icers are installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry and will be
affected by this AD. We also estimate
that it will take about:
• Two minutes per propeller blade to
perform the preflight visual check; and
• Five minutes per propeller blade to
perform the inspection of de-icers that
fail the visual check; and
• One-half work hour to replace a
propeller de-icer.
The average labor rate is $65 per work
hour. Required parts will cost about
$110.00 per replacement propeller deicer. The manufacturer has advised us
that replacement de-icers will be
provided at no cost to the operators.
Based on these figures, not including
free de-icer hardware supplied by the
manufacturer, we estimate the total cost
of the AD to U.S. operators to be
$510,240.
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
53551
Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the Federal Aviation Administration
amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
I
PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
I
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 summary of the costs
to comply with this AD and placed it in
the AD Docket. You may get a copy of
this summary at the address listed
under ADDRESSES.

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Goodrich De-icing and Specialty Systems ``FASTprop'' propeller de-
icers, part numbers P4E1188 series, P4E1601 series, P4E2200 series,
P4E2271-10, P4E2575-7, P4E2575-10, P4E2598-10, P5855BSW, P6199SW,
P6592SW, P6662SW, and P6975-11, installed. This AD requires inspection,
repair, or replacement of those ``FASTprop'' propeller de-icers that
fail daily visual checks. This AD results from reports of Goodrich
``FASTprop'' propeller de-icers becoming loose or debonded, and
detaching from propeller blades during operation.
DATES: This AD becomes effective October 14, 2005. The Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulations as of October 14, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39
with a proposed airworthiness directive (AD). The proposed AD applies
to Goodrich De-icing and Specialty Systems ``FASTprop'' propeller de-
icers, part numbers P4E1188 series, P4E1601 series, P4E2200 series,
P4E2271-10, P4E2575-7, P4E2575-10, P4E2598-10, P5855BSW, P6199SW,
P6592SW, P6662SW, and P6975-11. We published the proposed AD in the
Federal Register on April 6, 2005 (70 FR 17361). That action proposed
to require inspection, repair, or replacement of those ``FASTprop''
propeller de-icers that fail visual checks before the first flight each
day.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the docket that contains the AD, any comments
received, and any final disposition in person at the Docket Management
System (DMS) Docket Office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone (800)
647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Department of
Transportation Nassif Building at the street address stated in
ADDRESSES. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after
the DMS receives them.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the one comment received.
The commenter states that we need to clarify the compliance
section, and requests that any pilot be able to make required logbook
entries after the visual check of propeller de-icers regardless of how
the airplane is operated, whether under 14 CFR part 91, part 135, or
part 121. The commenter interprets Goodrich De-icing and Specialty
Systems Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 30-60-00-1, dated November 15,
2004, as only allowing private pilots operating under 14 CFR part 91 to
make the required logbook entries.
We agree that we need to clarify the compliance section.
Accordingly, we added the following statement to the compliance section
of this AD: ``Properly certificated maintenance personnel must perform
the initial inspection required in this AD. Thereafter, the pilot or
properly certificated maintenance personnel may perform the repetitive
visual check.''
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comment received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously.
We have determined that these changes will neither increase the
[[Page 53551]]
economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that 3,400 Goodrich propeller de-icers are installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry and will be affected by this AD. We also
estimate that it will take about:
Two minutes per propeller blade to perform the preflight
visual check; and
Five minutes per propeller blade to perform the inspection
of de-icers that fail the visual check; and
One-half work hour to replace a propeller de-icer.
The average labor rate is $65 per work hour. Required parts will
cost about $110.00 per replacement propeller de-icer. The manufacturer
has advised us that replacement de-icers will be provided at no cost to
the operators. Based on these figures, not including free de-icer
hardware supplied by the manufacturer, we estimate the total cost of
the AD to U.S. operators to be $510,240.
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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

Unsafe Condition
(d) This AD results from reports of Goodrich ``FASTprop''
propeller de-icers becoming loose or debonded, and detaching from
propeller blades during operation. We are issuing this AD to prevent
Goodrich ``FASTprop'' propeller de-icers from detaching from the
propeller blade, resulting in damage to the airplane, and possible
injury to passengers and crewmembers.
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.
(f) Properly certificated maintenance personnel must perform the
initial inspection required in this AD. Thereafter, the pilot or
properly certificated maintenance personnel may perform the
repetitive visual check.
Initial Visual Inspection of ``FASTprop'' Propeller De-Icers
(g) Within 10 hours after the effective date of this AD, inspect
the ``FASTprop'' propeller de-icers. If any ``FASTprop'' propeller
de-icer fails the inspection, then the ``FASTprop'' de-icer must be
repaired or replaced as necessary before the next flight. Use
paragraphs 2.A(3) through (5) of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Goodrich De-icing and Specialty Systems Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
No. 30-60-00-1, dated November 15, 2004 to do these actions.
Repetitive Visual Inspections of ``FASTprop'' Propeller De-Icers
(h) After the initial inspection, visually check the
``FASTprop'' propeller de-icer once per day either during the
pilot's first preflight inspection of the day or when maintenance
personnel are available. If any ``FASTprop'' propeller de-icer fails
the visual check, then the ``FASTprop'' de-icer must be inspected,
repaired, or replaced as necessary before the next flight.
Terminating action is accomplished when the ``FASTprop'' propeller
de-icer is removed and replaced with an approved propeller de-icer.
Use paragraph 2.A(2) of the Accomplishment Instructions of Goodrich
De-icing and Specialty Systems Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 30-
60-00-1, dated November 15, 2004 to do these actions.
Alternative Methods of Compliance
(i) The Manager, Chicago Aircraft Certification Office, has the
authority to approve alternative methods of compliance for this AD
if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
Special Flight Permits
(j) Under 14 CFR part 39.23, we are limiting the special flight
permits for this AD by requiring that any propeller found with a
loose or debonded ``FASTprop'' de-icer must have all propeller blade
de-icers removed before the flight, to maintain a balanced
propeller. Information on removing de-icers can be found in
paragraph 1.K.(1) of Goodrich De-icing and Specialty Systems ASB No.
30-60-00-1, dated November 15, 2004.
Related Information
