SUMMARY:
We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR

previously held by William Brad
Mitchell and Aeronca, Inc.) Models
15AC and S15AC airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
April 4, 2011 (76 FR 18454). The NPRM
proposed to require repetitive
inspections of the upper and lower main
wing spar cap angles for cracks and/or
corrosion and installing inspection
access panels. The NPRM also proposed
to require replacing the wing spar cap
angles if moderate or severe corrosion is
found and applying corrosion inhibitor.

the performance charts in the FAAapproved airplane flight manual and the
pilot’s operating handbook, part number
(P/N) 130–590031–245. This proposed
AD was prompted by an error found in
the take-off speeds and field lengths
published in the FAA-approved
airplane flight manual. We are
proposing this AD to correct the
published data in the airplane flight
manual and the pilot’s operating
handbook and ensure it corresponds
with the published data in the pilot’s
checklist. This condition, if not
corrected, could result in a pilot taking
off from shorter runways than required
by the airplane if the airplane loses an
engine after takeoff decision speed (V1).
This could result in the airplane
running out of runway before take-off
can be accomplished.

this proposed AD by June 13, 2011.

Discussion
We were notified by Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation of an error found
in the take-off speeds and field lengths
published in the FAA-approved
airplane flight manual. The required
runway distances published in the
current manual could be up to 320 feet
shorter than what is necessary. Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation determined data
in the pilot’s checklist (P/N 130–
590031–273) was correct. This
condition, if not corrected, could result
in taking off from shorter runways than
required by the airplane if the airplane
loses an engine after takeoff decision
speed (V1). This could result in the
airplane running out of runway before
take-off can be accomplished.
Relevant Service Information
We reviewed Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation Temporary Change to the
Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA–
Approved Airplane Flight Manual, P/N
130–590031–245TC5, dated February
2011. The temporary change corrects the
published data in the FAA-approved
airplane flight manual and the pilot’s
operating handbook.
FAA’s Determination
We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all the relevant information
and determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or
develop in other products of the same
type design.
Proposed AD Requirements
This proposed AD would require
inserting an update to the performance
charts in the FAA-approved airplane
flight manual and the pilot’s operating
handbook.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
affects 46 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to
comply with this proposed 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 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:52 Apr 28, 2011
Jkt 223001
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 this 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),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, and
(4) 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. US DOT Strategy
The United States Department of
Transportation (US DOT) is leading the
effort to end the dangerous practice of
distracted driving on our nation’s
roadways and in other modes of
transportation. Driver distraction can be
defined as the voluntary or involuntary
diversion of attention from the primary
driving tasks due to an object, event, or
person that shifts the attention away
from the fundamental driving task. The
US DOT has identified three main types
of distraction that occur while operating
a motor vehicle:
1. Visual—taking your eyes off of the
road;
2. Manual—taking your hands off of
the wheel; and
3. Cognitive—taking your mind off of
driving.
The US DOT is working across the
spectrum with private and public
entities to tackle distracted driving, and
will lead by example. The individual
agencies of the US DOT are working
together to share knowledge, promote a

Comments Invited
We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2011-0436;
Directorate Identifier 2011-CE-009-AD'' at the beginning of your

this proposed 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 proposed AD.
Discussion
We were notified by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation of an error found
in the take-off speeds and field lengths published in the FAA-approved
airplane flight manual. The required runway distances published in the
current manual could be up to 320 feet shorter than what is necessary.
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation determined data in the pilot's checklist
(P/N 130-590031-273) was correct. This condition, if not corrected,
could result in taking off from shorter runways than required by the
airplane if the airplane loses an engine after takeoff decision speed
(V1). This could result in the airplane running out of
runway before take-off can be accomplished.
Relevant Service Information
We reviewed Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Temporary Change to the
Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA-Approved Airplane Flight Manual, P/N
130-590031-245TC5, dated February 2011. The temporary change corrects
the published data in the FAA-approved airplane flight manual and the
pilot's operating handbook.
FAA's Determination
We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
Proposed AD Requirements
This proposed AD would require inserting an update to the
performance charts in the FAA-approved airplane flight manual and the
pilot's operating handbook.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD affects 46 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed 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 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 this 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),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(4) 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by

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
airworthiness directive (AD):
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation: Docket No. FAA-2011-0436; Directorate
Identifier 2011-CE-009-AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) We must receive comments by June 13, 2011.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model B300
and B300C (C-12W) airplanes, all serial numbers, that:
(1) Are certificated in any category; and
(2) Are modified per Hawker Beechcraft Drawing 130M000030 or Kit
Drawing 130-4014 that incorporate Aircraft Flight Manual P/N 130-
590031-245.

Subject
(d) Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport
Association (ATA) of America Code 91, Charts.
Unsafe Condition
(e) This AD was prompted by an error that was discovered in the
take-off speeds and field lengths published in the FAA-approved
flight manual. We are proposing this AD to correct the published
data in the airplane flight manual and the pilot's operating
handbook and ensure it corresponds with the published data in the
pilot's checklist. This condition, if not corrected, could result in
taking off from shorter runways than required by the airplane if the
airplane loses an engine after takeoff decision speed
(V1). This could result in the airplane running out of
runway before take-off can be accomplished.
Compliance
(f) Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
Action
(g) Within 14 days after the effective date of this AD, insert
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Log of Temporary Changes, dated
February 2011; and Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Temporary Change to
the Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight
Manual, Part Number (P/N) 130-590031-245TC5, dated February 2011;
into the airplanes Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved
Flight Manual, P/N 130-590031-245. The actions required by this
paragraph may be performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at
least a private pilot certificate and must be entered into the
aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with
14 CFR 43.9 (a)(1)-(4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must
be maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439.
Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)
(h)(1) The Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested
using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14
CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local
Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in the Related Information
section of this AD.
(2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
