SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
Airworthiness Directive (AD) for all
Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing
(previously The Lancair Company)
Models LC41–550FG and LC42–550FG
airplanes equipped with Kelly
Aerospace Thermal Systems
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
SA02260CH, Thermawing Deice System
(also known as E-Vade). This AD
requires you to deactivate the deice
system and install a placard in clear
view of the pilot. This AD results from
problems with the installation of the
Kelly Aerospace Thermal Systems
Thermawing Deice System following
STC SA02260CH. We are issuing this
AD to prevent a short circuit condition
at the deice heater connector, which
could result in damage to the wings and
horizontal stabilizer. This damage could
lead to reduced structural integrity of
the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective on
December 21, 2006.
As of December 21, 2006, the Director
of the Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulation.
We must receive any comments on
this AD by February 9, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We received reports of problems with
the installation of the Kelly Aerospace
Thermal Systems Thermawing Deice
System (also known as E-Vade) on
Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing
Models LC41–550FG and LC42–550FG
airplanes following Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) SA02260CH.
A short circuit condition at the deice
heater connector to the copper mesh
material imbedded in the composite
airplane structure (for lightning
protection) caused burning of the wings
and horizontal stabilizer, which created
holes in the structure.
The short circuit was caused by
insufficient removal of copper mesh
when the deice heater connectors were
installed.
This condition, if not corrected, could
cause damage to the wings and
horizontal stabilizer resulting in
reduced structural integrity of the
airplane.
Relevant Service Information
We reviewed Kelly Aerospace
Thermal Systems Service Letter Bulletin
No. SL–06–001, Issue Date: November
15, 2006. The service information
describes procedures for disabling the
E–Vade system.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 237 / Monday, December 11, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of This AD
We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all the information and
determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design. This AD requires disabling
the E–Vade system and installing a
placard in clear view of the pilot.
In preparing this rule, we contacted
type clubs and aircraft operators to get
technical information and information
on operational and economic impacts.
We did not receive any information
through these contacts. If received, we
would have included a discussion of
any information that may have
influenced this action in the rulemaking
docket.
FAA’s Determination of the Effective
Date
Since an unsafe condition exists that
requires the immediate adoption of this
AD, we determined that notice and
opportunity for public comment before
issuing this AD are impracticable, and
that good cause exists for making this
amendment effective in fewer than 30
days.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves
requirements affecting flight safety, and
we did not precede it by notice and an
opportunity for public comment. We
invite you to send any written relevant
data, views, or arguments regarding this
AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section.
Include the docket number ‘‘FAA–
2006–26400; Directorate Identifier
2006–CE–71–AD’’ at the beginning of
your comments. We specifically invite
comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy
aspects of the AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may amend the AD in light of those
comments.
We will post all comments we
receive, without change, to https://
dms.dot.gov, including any personal
information you provide. We will also
post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact we receive
concerning this AD.
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.

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 and placed it in the AD docket.

from a report that the FQIS wire harness
may not be properly attached at its
attachment points or properly separated
from the DC fuel pump wire harness.
We are issuing this AD to prevent
chafing between those harnesses or
chafing of the harnesses against adjacent
airplane structure or components,
which could present a potential ignition
source that could result in a fire or
explosion.
This AD becomes effective
January 16, 2007.

–145LR, –145XR, –145MP, and –145EP
airplanes. That NPRM was published in
the Federal Register on July 24, 2006
(71 FR 41745). That NPRM proposed to
require inspecting the fuel quantity
indication system (FQIS) wire harness
and the DC fuel pump wire harness to
determine if the harnesses are properly
attached at their respective attachment
points and properly separated from one
another, and performing corrective
actions if necessary.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have
considered the comments received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We received reports of problems with the installation of the Kelly
Aerospace Thermal Systems Thermawing Deice System (also known as E-
Vade) on Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing Models LC41-550FG and LC42-
550FG airplanes following Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
SA02260CH.
A short circuit condition at the deice heater connector to the
copper mesh material imbedded in the composite airplane structure (for
lightning protection) caused burning of the wings and horizontal
stabilizer, which created holes in the structure.
The short circuit was caused by insufficient removal of copper mesh
when the deice heater connectors were installed.
This condition, if not corrected, could cause damage to the wings
and horizontal stabilizer resulting in reduced structural integrity of
the airplane.
Relevant Service Information
We reviewed Kelly Aerospace Thermal Systems Service Letter Bulletin
No. SL-06-001, Issue Date: November 15, 2006. The service information
describes procedures for disabling the E-Vade system.
[[Page 71479]]
FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD
We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the information and
determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist
or develop on other products of the same type design. This AD requires
disabling the E-Vade system and installing a placard in clear view of
the pilot.
In preparing this rule, we contacted type clubs and aircraft
operators to get technical information and information on operational
and economic impacts. We did not receive any information through these
contacts. If received, we would have included a discussion of any
information that may have influenced this action in the rulemaking
docket.
FAA's Determination of the Effective Date
Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate
adoption of this AD, we determined that notice and opportunity for
public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable, and that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and an opportunity for
public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views,
or arguments regarding this AD. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number ``FAA-2006-
26400; Directorate Identifier 2006-CE-71-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the AD. We will consider
all comments received by the closing date and may amend the AD in light
of those comments.
We will post all comments we receive, without change, to https://
dms.dot.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will
also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive concerning this AD.
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 determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
