Airworthiness Directives; Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation (Type
Certificate No. A00010WI previously
held by Raytheon Aircraft Company)
Model 390 Airplanes
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model
390 Airplanes. This proposed AD would
require you to inspect the startergenerator to determine the serial
number (S/N) and suffix letter, which
indicates if the part is defective, and
replace any defective starter-generator
with one of new design. This proposed
AD results from reports of a
manufacturing error where certain
starter-generators may have been
improperly shimmed. We are proposing
this AD to detect and replace defective
starter-generators, which could result in
premature starter-generator failure. This
failure could lead to increased chances
of dual starter-generator failure on the
same flight.
DATES: We must receive comments on
this proposed AD by August 13, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Use one of the following
addresses to comment on this proposed
AD:
• DOT Docket Web site: Go to
https://dms.dot.gov and follow the
instructions for sending your comments
electronically.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
We invite you to send any written
relevant data, views, or arguments
regarding this proposed AD. Send your
comments to an address listed under the
ADDRESSES section. Include the docket
number, ‘‘FAA–2007–28068; Directorate
Identifier 2007–CE–043–AD’’ at the
beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the
overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of
the proposed AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may amend the proposed 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 proposed AD.
Discussion
We received reports of premature
starter-generator failure on several
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model
390 airplanes. We determined the cause
of the premature failure to be a result of
a manufacturing error in which certain
starter-generators, Raytheon Aircraft
Company (RAC) part number (P/N) 390–
389001–0001 and Advance Industries,
Inc. (AI) P/N MG94A–1 without an ‘‘A’’
suffix letter, may have been improperly
shimmed.
This condition, if not corrected, could
result in premature starter-generator
failure. This failure could lead to
increased chances of dual startergenerator failure on the same flight.
• Inspecting the left-hand and righthand starter-generators to determine the
serial number and suffix letter, which
indicates whether the part is defective;
and
• Replacing any defective startergenerator found with one of new design.
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 you to inspect the startergenerator to determine the serial
number (S/N) and suffix letter, which
indicates whether the part is defective,
and replace any defective startergenerator with one of new design.
Relevant Service Information
Costs of Compliance

Title 49 of the United States Code
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I,

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

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,

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
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]
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new AD:
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (Type Certificate No. A00010WI
previously held by Raytheon Aircraft Company): Docket No. FAA-2007-
28068; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-043-AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) We must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) action by August 13, 2007.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Model 390 airplanes, serial numbers RB-1
and RB-4 through RB-149, that are certificated in any category.
Unsafe Condition
(d) This AD results from reports of a manufacturing error where
certain starter-generators may have been improperly shimmed. We are
issuing this AD to detect and replace defective starter-generators,
which could result in premature starter-generator failure. This
failure could lead to increased chances of dual starter-generator
failure on the same flight.

already done:
