SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. 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 VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:15 Jul 14, 2009 Jkt 217001 product. The MCAI (two different MCAI) describes the unsafe condition as: FOCA AD HB 2002–271 was issued because the Nose Landing Gear (NLG) Right Hand (RH) upper drag link, Part Number (P/ N) 532.20.12.140 was found broken on some aircraft due to fatigue cracking, and therefore a life limit of 4,000 landings was introduced. Recent investigation of a new occurrence revealed that the replacement part NLG RH upper drag link P/N 532.20.12.289 also suffered fatigue cracking, however on a different location. Complete failure of the NLG RH upper drag link could result in NLG collapse during landing. and This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted by reports of several in-service cracked torque tubes. A reduced wall thickness produced during the manufacturing process has been determined to be the initial cause. Additionally, all the involved torque tubes have been found to show fatigue cracking problems. Such a condition, if left uncorrected, could lead to failure of the torque tube and result in loss of the steering control on ground and consequent unsafe condition. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD becomes effective August 19, 2009. On August 19, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 8, 2009 (74 FR 21561), and proposed to supersede AD 2003– 14–07, Amendment 39–13226 (68 FR 41903, July 16, 2003).

Recent investigation of a new occurrence revealed that the replacement part NLG RH upper drag link P/N 532.20.12.289 also suffered fatigue cracking, however on a different location. Complete failure of the NLG RH upper drag link could result in NLG collapse during landing. To address that condition, this AD is issued to mandate the implementation of the latest revision of the PC–12 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) chapter 4— airworthiness limitations section—by establishing repetitive inspections for the NLG RH upper drag links P/N 532.20.12.140 and P/N 532.20.12.289. and This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted by reports of several in-service cracked torque tubes. A reduced wall thickness produced during the manufacturing process has been determined to be the initial cause. Additionally, all the involved torque tubes have been found to show fatigue cracking problems. Such a condition, if left uncorrected, could lead to failure of the torque tube and result in loss of the steering control on ground and consequent unsafe condition. For the reason described above, this new AD mandates the replacement of certain torque tubes by new ones of an improved design and the latest revision of chapter 4 ‘limitations’ of the PC–12 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) which introduces the new life limit for torque tubes with Part Number (P/N) 532.50.12.047. We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We considered the comment received.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (Type Certificate previously held by 
Raytheon Aircraft Company) Model G36 airplanes. This AD requires you to 
inspect for any improper installation and/or chafing of the P60/J60 
electrical connector, associated wiring, and fuel line and, if found, 
correct the installation and replace damaged parts. This AD results 
from reports of chafing between the wire harness/connector(s) and fuel 
line. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct chafing between the 
wire harness/connector(s) and fuel line. This chafing could lead to 
fuel leaking into the cockpit and fire in the cockpit if wiring arcs 
through the fuel line.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on July 27, 2009.
    On July 27, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved the 
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We received reports of chafing between the fuel line and the P60/
J60 connector and wiring. One report indicated arcing from a chafing 
wire harness burned a hole through the fuel tube. Another report 
resulted from an inspection finding where the P60/J60 connector 
directly contacted the fuel line.
    During the manufacturing of fuel line part number (P/N) 36-920001-
13, protective insulation tube P/N 106242-6-01300, or other post-
manufacturing spiral wrap was not installed or was located improperly, 
thereby allowing chafing electrical wire/connectors to directly contact 
the fuel line.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in chafing between 
the wire harness/connector(s) and fuel line. This chafing could lead to 
fuel leaking into the cockpit and fire in the cockpit if wiring arcs 
through the fuel line.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Hawker Beechcraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 28-
3967, dated June 2009. The service information describes procedures for 
inspecting for any improper installation and/or chafing of the P60/J60 
electrical connector, associated wiring, and fuel line and, if found, 
correcting the installation and replacing damaged parts.

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 inspect for any improper installation and/or chafing of the P60/
J60 electrical connector, associated wiring, and fuel line and, if 
found, correct the installation and replace damaged parts.

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 between the wire harness/connector(s) and fuel line could lead 
to fuel leaking into the cockpit and fire in the cockpit if wiring arcs 
through the fuel line. 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-2009-0633; 
Directorate Identifier 2009-CE-037-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://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We 
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 at the Docket 
Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 
except Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone (800) 647-5527) 
is located at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section. 
Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.
