ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna)
Models 150 and 152 airplanes. This
proposed AD would require replacing
the rudder stop, rudder stop bumper,
and attachment hardware with a new
rudder stop modification kit. This
proposed AD also requires replacing the
safety wire with jamnuts. This proposed
AD results from two accidents where
the rudder was found in the over-travel
position with the stop plate hooked over
the stop bolt heads. We are proposing
this AD to prevent the rudder from
traveling past the normal travel limit
and becoming jammed in the over-travel
position. This condition could result in
loss of control.
DATES: We must receive comments on
this proposed AD by June 15, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Use one of the following
addresses to comment on this proposed
AD:

Discussion
This AD results from two spin
accidents involving Cessna Model 152
airplanes where the rudder was found
in the over-travel position with the stop
plate hooked over the stop bolt heads.
In the first accident, which occurred
in Canada, a flight instructor and
student pilot were unable to recover
after performing a spin maneuver. When
the airplane was inspected, the rudder
was found jammed.
In the second accident the rudder
bumper was found to be installed
incorrectly, which resulted in a rudder
jam during an attempted spin recovery.
Upon recovery of the airplanes after
the accidents, both accident airplanes
had their rudder stop plates hooked
over the stop bolts. After examining the
accident airplanes and other Cessna
Models 150 and 152 airplanes, accident
investigators determined that, under
certain conditions, it is possible to jam
the rudder past its normal travel limit.
The jam occurs when the stop plate is
forced aft of the stop bolt head. The
forward edge of the stop plate can then
become lodged under the head of the
stop bolt causing the rudder to jam in
this over-travel position. Recovery from
a spin may not be possible with the
rudder jammed beyond the normal
rudder travel stop limits.
This condition, if not corrected, could
result in loss of control.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 72 / Monday, April 16, 2007 / Proposed Rules
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed the following
Cessna Aircraft Company service
information, dated January 22, 2001:
• Service Bulletin SEB01–1;
• Service Kit SK152–25; and
• Service Kit SK152–24.
The service information describes
procedures for replacing the rudder
stop, rudder stop bumper, and
attachment hardware with a new rudder
stop modification kit. The service
information also describes the
procedure for replacing the safety wire
with jamnuts.
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of the Proposed AD
We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all information and
determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design. This proposed AD would
require replacing the rudder stop,
rudder stop bumper, and attachment
hardware with a new rudder stop
modification kit. This proposed AD also
requires replacing the safety wire with
jamnuts.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
would affect 18,670 airplanes in the
U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do
the proposed modification:
Labor cost
Parts cost
Total cost per
airplane
Total cost on
U.S. operators
4 work-hours × $80 per hour = $320 ..........................................................................................
$60
$380
$7,094,600
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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this proposed AD and placed it in the
AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket that
contains the proposed AD, the
regulatory evaluation, any comments
received, and other information on the
Internet at https://dms.dot.gov; or in
person at the Docket Management
Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The Docket Office (telephone
(800) 647–5227) is located at the street
address stated in the ADDRESSES section.
Comments will be available in the AD
docket shortly after receipt.

Discussion
This AD results from two spin accidents involving Cessna Model 152
airplanes where the rudder was found in the over-travel position with
the stop plate hooked over the stop bolt heads.
In the first accident, which occurred in Canada, a flight
instructor and student pilot were unable to recover after performing a
spin maneuver. When the airplane was inspected, the rudder was found
jammed.
In the second accident the rudder bumper was found to be installed
incorrectly, which resulted in a rudder jam during an attempted spin
recovery.
Upon recovery of the airplanes after the accidents, both accident
airplanes had their rudder stop plates hooked over the stop bolts.
After examining the accident airplanes and other Cessna Models 150 and
152 airplanes, accident investigators determined that, under certain
conditions, it is possible to jam the rudder past its normal travel
limit. The jam occurs when the stop plate is forced aft of the stop
bolt head. The forward edge of the stop plate can then become lodged
under the head of the stop bolt causing the rudder to jam in this over-
travel position. Recovery from a spin may not be possible with the
rudder jammed beyond the normal rudder travel stop limits.
This condition, if not corrected, could result in loss of control.

We have reviewed the following Cessna Aircraft Company service
information, dated January 22, 2001:
Service Bulletin SEB01-1;
Service Kit SK152-25; and
Service Kit SK152-24.
The service information describes procedures for replacing the
rudder stop, rudder stop bumper, and attachment hardware with a new
rudder stop modification kit. The service information also describes
the procedure for replacing the safety wire with jamnuts.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD
We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all information and
