SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an
existing airworthiness directive (AD),
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
which applies to certain Cessna Model
560 airplanes. That AD currently
requires installing new minimum
airspeed placards to notify the
flightcrew of the proper airspeeds for
operating in both normal and icing
conditions. That AD also requires
revising the airplane flight manual to
provide limitations and procedures for
operating in icing conditions, for
operating with anti-ice systems selected
‘‘on’’ independent of icing conditions,
and for recognizing and recovering from
inadvertent stall. That AD also provides
an optional terminating action for the
placard installation. This new AD
requires the previously optional
terminating action. This AD results from
an evaluation of in-service airplanes
following an accident. The evaluation
indicated that some airplanes might
have an improperly adjusted stall
warning system. We are issuing this AD
to prevent an inadvertent stall due to
the inadequate stall warning margin
provided by an improperly adjusted
stall warning system, which could result
in loss of controllability of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
January 28, 2009.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in the AD
as of January 28, 2009.
On November 30, 2007 (72 FR 64135,
November 15, 2007), the Director of the
Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
other publications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that
supersedes AD 2007–23–13, amendment
39–15259 (72 FR 64135, November 15,
2007). The existing AD (AD 2007–23–
13) applies to certain Cessna Model 560
airplanes. That NPRM was published in
the Federal Register on August 21, 2008
(73 FR 49359). That NPRM proposed to
continue to require installing new
minimum airspeed placards to notify
the flightcrew of the proper airspeeds
for operating in both normal and icing
conditions. That NPRM also proposed to
continue to require revising the airplane
flight manual to provide limitations and
procedures for operating in icing
conditions, for operating with anti-ice
systems selected ‘‘on’’ independent of
icing conditions, and for recognizing
and recovering from inadvertent stall.
That NPRM also proposed to require an
optional terminating action for the
placard installation and after
accomplishing the terminating action,
removing an AFM warning.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have
considered the comment that has been
received on the NPRM.
Additional Concern Regarding Safety of
Flight in Icing Conditions
The National Safety Review Board
(NTSB) states that based on its review
of the NPRM, it is pleased that the FAA
has performed a fleet survey and has
identified a potential source of
inaccuracy in the angle-of-attack (AOA)
system. Further, the NTSB states it is
pleased that the FAA has proposed
requirements for correcting the
calibration of the AOA system and
providing data regarding the calibration
adjustment to the manufacturer. The
NTSB concludes that these actions
would ensure that the stall warning
system provides an accurate stall
warning based on original and
secondary/icing certification flight
testing.
However, the NTSB notes that the
actions described in this NPRM and in
AD 2007–23–13 do not address certain
safety recommendations. The NTSB
states it is concerned that a reduction in
stall warning margin produced by thin,
E:\FR\FM\24DER1.SGM
24DER1
78952
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 248 / Wednesday, December 24, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
rough ice accretions generated by
supercooled large droplet icing
conditions or icing conditions near the
edge of the icing envelope can eliminate
or seriously alter stall margin and the
alert provided to the flightcrew, even for
a properly calibrated AOA system.
The NTSB states that utilization of the
super-cooled large droplet icing
envelope being developed in response
to NTSB Safety Recommendation A–96–
54 to evaluate the stall warning margin
of the Cessna Model 560 airplanes with
thin, rough ice accretions on or aft of the
protected surfaces, as recommended by
NTSB Safety Recommendation A–07–
17, would provide the best level of
safety in all icing condition, and in icing
conditions similar to those encountered
by the Cessna Model 560 airplane
involved in an accident at Pueblo,
Colorado.
We acknowledge the NTSB’s
concerns. The unsafe condition
identified in this action is an
inadvertent stall due to the inadequate
stall warning margin provided by an
improperly adjusted stall warning
system. This AD addresses that
potential unsafe condition.
As noted in the NTSB comment,
Safety Recommendation A–07–17
addresses the NTSB’s concern with the
effect of thin, rough ice accretions on
the Cessna Model 560 stall warning
system. We have provided to the NTSB
the FAA actions responsive to the
recommendation. With respect to the
application of a large super-cooled large
droplet icing envelope to existing
airplanes, we have identified, in
response to the NTSB Safety
Recommendation A–07–16, actions that
we have taken and plan to take to
ensure the safe operation of existing
airplanes equipped with pneumatic
deicing boots, such as Cessna Model 560
airplanes. Updates to the NTSB are
provided through established
procedures.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data, including the comment
that has been submitted, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 538 airplanes of the
affected design in the worldwide fleet.
The following table provides the
estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD. There are about
400 U.S. registered airplanes.

pwalker on PROD1PC71 with RULES
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.

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD), which applies to certain Cessna Model 560 airplanes. That AD
currently requires installing new minimum airspeed placards to notify
the flightcrew of the proper airspeeds for operating in both normal and
icing conditions. That AD also requires revising the airplane flight
manual to provide limitations and procedures for operating in icing
conditions, for operating with anti-ice systems selected ``on''
independent of icing conditions, and for recognizing and recovering
from inadvertent stall. That AD also provides an optional terminating
action for the placard installation. This new AD requires the
previously optional terminating action. This AD results from an
evaluation of in-service airplanes following an accident. The
evaluation indicated that some airplanes might have an improperly
adjusted stall warning system. We are issuing this AD to prevent an
inadvertent stall due to the inadequate stall warning margin provided
by an improperly adjusted stall warning system, which could result in
loss of controllability of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective January 28, 2009.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of January 28,
2009.
On November 30, 2007 (72 FR 64135, November 15, 2007), the Director
of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of
certain other publications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2007-23-13, amendment
39-15259 (72 FR 64135, November 15, 2007). The existing AD (AD 2007-23-
13) applies to certain Cessna Model 560 airplanes. That NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on August 21, 2008 (73 FR 49359).
That NPRM proposed to continue to require installing new minimum
airspeed placards to notify the flightcrew of the proper airspeeds for
operating in both normal and icing conditions. That NPRM also proposed
to continue to require revising the airplane flight manual to provide
limitations and procedures for operating in icing conditions, for
operating with anti-ice systems selected ``on'' independent of icing
conditions, and for recognizing and recovering from inadvertent stall.
That NPRM also proposed to require an optional terminating action for
the placard installation and after accomplishing the terminating
action, removing an AFM warning.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comment that has been
received on the NPRM.
Additional Concern Regarding Safety of Flight in Icing Conditions
The National Safety Review Board (NTSB) states that based on its
review of the NPRM, it is pleased that the FAA has performed a fleet
survey and has identified a potential source of inaccuracy in the
angle-of-attack (AOA) system. Further, the NTSB states it is pleased
that the FAA has proposed requirements for correcting the calibration
of the AOA system and providing data regarding the calibration
adjustment to the manufacturer. The NTSB concludes that these actions
would ensure that the stall warning system provides an accurate stall
warning based on original and secondary/icing certification flight
testing.
However, the NTSB notes that the actions described in this NPRM and
in AD 2007-23-13 do not address certain safety recommendations. The
NTSB states it is concerned that a reduction in stall warning margin
produced by thin,
[[Page 78952]]
rough ice accretions generated by supercooled large droplet icing
conditions or icing conditions near the edge of the icing envelope can
eliminate or seriously alter stall margin and the alert provided to the
flightcrew, even for a properly calibrated AOA system.
The NTSB states that utilization of the super-cooled large droplet
icing envelope being developed in response to NTSB Safety
Recommendation A-96-54 to evaluate the stall warning margin of the
Cessna Model 560 airplanes with thin, rough ice accretions on or aft of
the protected surfaces, as recommended by NTSB Safety Recommendation A-
07-17, would provide the best level of safety in all icing condition,
and in icing conditions similar to those encountered by the Cessna
Model 560 airplane involved in an accident at Pueblo, Colorado.
We acknowledge the NTSB's concerns. The unsafe condition identified
in this action is an inadvertent stall due to the inadequate stall
warning margin provided by an improperly adjusted stall warning system.
This AD addresses that potential unsafe condition.
As noted in the NTSB comment, Safety Recommendation A-07-17
addresses the NTSB's concern with the effect of thin, rough ice
accretions on the Cessna Model 560 stall warning system. We have
provided to the NTSB the FAA actions responsive to the recommendation.
With respect to the application of a large super-cooled large droplet
icing envelope to existing airplanes, we have identified, in response
to the NTSB Safety Recommendation A-07-16, actions that we have taken
and plan to take to ensure the safe operation of existing airplanes
equipped with pneumatic deicing boots, such as Cessna Model 560
airplanes. Updates to the NTSB are provided through established
procedures.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comment that has been submitted, and determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 538 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. The following table provides the estimated costs for
U.S. operators to comply with this AD. There are about 400 U.S.
registered airplanes.

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 regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

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.
Restatement of Requirements of AD 2007-23-13
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision
(f) Within 14 days after November 30, 2007 (the effective date
of AD 2007-23-13), revise the Operating Limitations, Normal
Procedures, Emergency Procedures, and the Approach and Landing
sections of the AFM to include the information in the temporary
changes (TCs) identified in Table 1 of this AD, as applicable,
except as required by paragraph (k) of this AD. These TCs provide
limitations and procedures for operating in icing conditions, for
operating with anti-ice systems selected ``on'' independent of icing
conditions, and for recognizing and recovering from inadvertent
stall. Operate the airplane according to the limitations and
procedures in the applicable TCs.
Note 1: This may be done by inserting a copy of the applicable
TCs into the applicable AFM. When these TCs have been included in
the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be

dated September 7, 2007, including Attachment and Service Bulletin
Supplemental Data; or Cessna Service Bulletin SB560-34-143, Revision
1, dated November 21, 2007. As of the effective date of this AD,

Supplemental Data; and Cessna Service Bulletin SB560-34-143,
Revision 1, dated November 21, 2007; referred to in paragraph (g) of
this AD, specify to submit a maintenance transaction report to the
manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
New Requirements of This AD
Terminating Action
(i) Within 6 months after the effective date of this AD, do a
functional test of the angle-of-attack (AOA) system, and adjust the
calibration settings of the AOA system as applicable, in accordance
with Cessna Alert Service Letter ASL560-34-34 (for airplanes

equipped with a dual AOA system), both Revision 1, both dated
October 2, 2007, both including Attachments, as applicable; or
Cessna Alert Service Letter ASL560-34-34 or ASL560-34-35, both
Revision 3, both dated March 6, 2008, both including Attachments, as
applicable. As of the effective date of this AD, only Revision 3 may
be used. Doing the functional test of the AOA system, adjusting the
calibration settings of the AOA system as applicable, and submitting
the AOA system test data as specified in paragraph (j) of this AD,
terminates the placard installation required by paragraph (g) of
this AD.
Note 2: Maintenance Manual Revision 24 of Cessna 560 Maintenance

specified in paragraph (j)(1) or (j)(2) of this AD. The report must
include the AOA test data, the airplane serial number and
registration number, and the number of landings and flight hours on
the airplane. Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
has approved the information collection requirements contained in
this AD and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-0056.
(1) If the functional test was done after November 30, 2007:
Submit the report within 30 days after doing the functional test.
(2) If the inspection was accomplished prior to November 30,
2007: Submit the report within 30 days after November 30, 2007.
Removal of Warning From the Limitations Section of the AFM
(k) For airplanes on which the actions required by paragraph (i)
of this AD have been done: Within 30 days after doing the actions
required by paragraph (i) of this AD or within 30 days after the
effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, revise the
Limitations Section of the AFM by removing the following Warning
statement:
``Warning: Stick Shaker May Not Activate Prior to Buffet/Roll-Off If
Airspeed Is Reduced Below the Appropriate Minimum Speed.''
No Maintenance Transaction Report Required for Cessna Service Letters
(l) Cessna Alert Service Letters ASL560-34-34 and ASL560-34-35,
both Revision 1, both dated October 2, 2007, both including
Attachments; and Cessna Alert Service Letters ASL560-34-34 and
ASL560-34-35, both Revision 3, both dated March 6, 2008, both
including Attachments; specify to submit a maintenance transaction
report to the manufacturer. This AD does not include that
requirement.

(m) Actions accomplished before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with Cessna Alert Service Letter ASL560-34-34 or ASL560-
34-35, both Revision 2, both dated January 11, 2008, both including
