ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: A detailed inspection in a M26 airplane revealed a significant chafing of the aileron control cable against the wing rib in the fuselage-to-wing area of transition and an abnormal wearing of pulleys’ gorges as well. Such damage can only be evidenced on control cables which travel in pulleys either limited in rotation or seized. If left uncorrected, this condition, which could also occur on the elevator or rudder control system, could lead to loss of one or more primary flight controls and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. DATES: This AD becomes effective February 12, 2009. On February 12, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD. We must receive comments on this AD by February 23, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA AD No. 2008–0220, dated December 19, 2008 (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: A detailed inspection in a M26 airplane revealed a significant chafing of the aileron control cable against the wing rib in the fuselage-to-wing area of transition and an abnormal wearing of pulleys’ gorges as well. Such damage can only be evidenced on control cables which travel in pulleys either limited in rotation or seized. If left uncorrected, this condition, which could also occur on the elevator or rudder control system, could lead to loss of one or more primary flight controls and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. For the reason stated above, this Airworthiness Directive requires a detailed inspection of flight controls and the correction of any discrepancy that could be found as a result of the inspection. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket. rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES Relevant Service Information Polskie Zaklady Lotnicze Spolka zo.o. has issued Service Bulletin No. E/ 62.020/2008, dated October 30, 2008.

Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with this State of VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:34 Jan 22, 2009 Jkt 217001 Design Authority, they have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design. received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of those comments. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to https:// www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD. Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information provided in the MCAI and related service information. We might have also required different actions in this AD from those in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are described in a separate paragraph of the AD. These requirements take precedence over those copied from the MCAI. Authority for This Rulemaking 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 chafing of the aileron control cable against the wing rib in the fuselage-to-wing area of the transition and an abnormal wearing of pulley gorges, if left uncorrected, could lead to loss of one or more primary controls, which could reduce airplane controllability. 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 opportunity for public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2009–0010; Directorate Identifier 2009–CE–001– AD’’ at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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.

This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: Several cases of loss of internal components from the Hydro Mechanical Unit (HMU) low fuel pressure switch HydraElectric part number (P/N) 9 550 17 956 0 into the fuel system, have been reported on Arriel 2 engines. The loss of internal components from the low fuel pressure switch into the fuel system may lead to a rupture of the HP–LP pumps drive shaft shear pin, and thus to a possible uncommanded in-flight shutdown (IFSD). On a single-engine helicopter, an uncommanded IFSD results in an emergency autorotation landing and in certain conditions may lead to an accident. We are issuing this AD to prevent forced autorotation landing, or an accident. E:\FR\FM\23JAR1.SGM 23JAR1

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the 
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing 
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of 
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an 
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    A detailed inspection in a M26 airplane revealed a significant 
chafing of the aileron control cable against the wing rib in the 
fuselage-to-wing area of transition and an abnormal wearing of 
pulleys' gorges as well.
    Such damage can only be evidenced on control cables which travel 
in pulleys either limited in rotation or seized.
    If left uncorrected, this condition, which could also occur on 
the elevator or rudder control system, could lead to loss of one or 
more primary flight controls and consequent reduced controllability 
of the airplane.

This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe 
condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 12, 2009.
    On February 12, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved 
the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this 
AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA 
AD No. 2008-0220, dated December 19, 2008 (referred to after this as 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified 
products. The MCAI states:

    A detailed inspection in a M26 airplane revealed a significant 
chafing of the aileron control cable against the wing rib in the 
fuselage-to-wing area of transition and an abnormal wearing of 
pulleys' gorges as well.
    Such damage can only be evidenced on control cables which travel 
in pulleys either limited in rotation or seized.
    If left uncorrected, this condition, which could also occur on 
the elevator or rudder control system, could lead to loss of one or 
more primary flight controls and consequent reduced controllability 
of the airplane.
    For the reason stated above, this Airworthiness Directive 
requires a detailed inspection of flight controls and the correction 
of any discrepancy that could be found as a result of the 
inspection.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD 
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Polskie Zaklady Lotnicze Spolka zo.o. has issued Service Bulletin 
No. E/62.020/2008, dated October 30, 2008. The actions described in 
this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition 
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they 
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and 
service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we 
evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and 
determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or 
develop on other products of the same type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in 
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it 
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the 
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these 
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information 
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might have also required different actions in this AD from those 
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are 
described in a separate paragraph of the AD. These requirements take 
precedence over those copied from the MCAI.

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 
chafing of the aileron control cable against the wing rib in the 
fuselage-to-wing area of the transition and an abnormal wearing of 
pulley gorges, if left uncorrected, could lead to loss of one or more 
primary controls, which could reduce airplane controllability. 
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 opportunity for public 
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or 
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under 
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2009-0010; Directorate 
Identifier 2009-CE-001-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We 
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, 
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all 
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of 
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to https://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We 
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we 
receive about 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.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, 
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
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]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2009-02-02 Polskie Zaklady Lotnicze Spolka zo.o: Amendment 39-15792; 
Docket No. FAA-2009-0010; Directorate Identifier 2009-CE-001-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective February 
12, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Models PZL M26 01 airplanes, serial 
numbers 1APP01-01 and 1AP002-01 through 1AP002-06, certificated in 
any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 27: Flight 
Controls.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 
states:

    ``A detailed inspection in a M26 airplane revealed a significant 
chafing of the aileron control cable against the wing rib in the 
fuselage-to-wing area of transition and an abnormal wearing of 
pulleys' gorges as well.''
    ``Such damage can only be evidenced on control cables which 
travel in pulleys either limited in rotation or seized.''
    ``If left uncorrected, this condition, which could also occur on 
the elevator or rudder control system, could lead to loss of one or 
more primary flight controls and consequent reduced controllability 
of the airplane.''
    ``For the reason stated above, this Airworthiness Directive 
requires a detailed inspection of flight controls and the correction 
of any discrepancy that could be found as a result of the 
inspection.''

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Before further flight, after the effective date of this AD, 
inspect the airplane's flight control systems as instructed in 
paragraph III.A. of Polskie Zaklady Lotnicze Spolka zo.o. (PZL) 
Service Bulletin No. E/62.020/2008, dated October 30, 2008.
    (2) If in the inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD 
any damage is found on the pulleys and cables of the aileron control 
system, before further flight, repair the damage as instructed in 
paragraph III.B. of PZL Service Bulletin No. E/62.020/2008, dated 
October 30, 2008.
    (3) If in the inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD 
any damage is found on the flight control systems other than the 
pulleys and cables of the aileron control system, before further 
flight, repair the damage with an FAA-approved repair solution (see 
paragraph (g)(2) of this AD).

FAA AD Differences

    Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information 
as follows: No differences.
