Discussion
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC)
Models B200, B200GT, B300, and
B300C airplanes. This AD requires you
to fabricate and install a placard
incorporating information that limits
operation when there is known or
forecast icing and requires you to
replace a section of the pneumatic
supply tube for the tail deice system
with a new tube of a different material.
This AD results from reports of
collapsed tail deice boot pneumatic
supply tubes. We are issuing this AD to
prevent collapsed pneumatic supply
tubes, which could result in failure of
the tail deice boots to operate. This
failure could lead to loss of control in
icing conditions.
DATES: This AD becomes effective on
April 10, 2008.
On April 10, 2008 the Director of the
Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in this AD.
We must receive any comments on
this AD by June 6, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
We received information of reports of
collapsed pneumatic tubes, which
supply pressure and vacuum to the
horizontal stabilizer deice boots. With
the introduction of an improved
environmental control system, a section
of the pneumatic deice tube located in
the aft evaporator bay is subject to
higher than normal temperature. This
high heat in the aft evaporator bay may
cause the tubing to soften and collapse
undetected and permanently block flow
to and from the deice boots.
The pilot’s operating handbook
specifies to visually check deicing
boots, where possible, for inflation and
hold down function when ice protection
equipment is required. However, the tail
deice boots are not visible from the
cockpit during the check.
Since the collapse of the pneumatic
deice supply tube is caused by the use
of cabin heat, there is the possibility
that the condition could occur after preflight verification of operation. Icing
conditions and the use of cabin heat
would be a normal operational mode.
In February 2008, HBC issued a safety
communique to inform flight crews of
the potential for collapsed pneumatic
supply tubes and recommended flight
crews avoid flight into icing conditions.
This condition, if not corrected, could
result in failure of the tail deice boots
to operate. This failure could lead to
loss of control in icing conditions.
Relevant Service Information
We reviewed Hawker Beechcraft
Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 30–3889,
Issued: March 2008. The service
information describes procedures for
replacement of tail deice boot
pneumatic supply tubes.

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 you to
fabricate and install a placard
incorporating information that limits
operation when there is known or
forecast icing and requires you to
replace a section of the pneumatic
supply tube for the tail deice system
with a new tube of a different material.
The replacement of the tail deice boot
pneumatic supply tubes is terminating
action for the operation limitations in
known or forecast icing.
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
An unsafe condition exists that
requires the immediate adoption of this
AD. The FAA has found that the risk to
the flying public justifies waiving notice
and comment prior to adoption of this
rule because this condition could result
in failure of the tail deice boots to
operate. This failure could lead to loss
of control in icing conditions. Therefore,
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–
2008–0392; Directorate Identifier 2008–
CE–022–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://

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 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 and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket that
contains the AD, the regulatory
evaluation, any comments received, and
other information on the Internet at
https://www.regulations.gov; or in person

Relevant Service Information
We reviewed Hawker Beechcraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 30-
3889, Issued: March 2008. The service information describes procedures
for replacement of tail deice boot pneumatic supply tubes.
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
you to fabricate and install a placard incorporating information that
limits operation when there is known or forecast icing and requires you

An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because this
condition could result in failure of the tail deice boots to operate.
This failure could lead to loss of control in icing conditions.
Therefore, 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-2008-0392;
Directorate Identifier 2008-CE-022-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://

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
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 and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket that contains the AD, the regulatory
evaluation, any comments received, and other information on the
