ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: [FR Doc. 2011–33354 Filed 12–28–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4810–AM–P Discussion We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Models 95–C55, D55, E55, 58, and 58A airplanes equipped with a certain STC. This AD requires assuring the airspeed indicator(s) and/or airspeed limitations placard(s) have the correct minimum control speed (VMC) markings for the STCs installed. This AD was prompted by information that suggests the affected airplane models with a certain STC installed may not have the appropriate VMC markings on the airspeed indicator(s). We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On a Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model 58 airplane, we found that STC SA1762SO (installation of vortex generators) and STC SA4016NM (Foxstar Baron modification that included installation of winglets and different engines and propellers) were installed. The airplane flight manual (AFM) supplements for both STCs contained different VMC limitations. The airspeed indicator was marked in accordance with STC SA4016NM when it should have been marked with the higher VMC specified for STC SA1762SO. Other affected Hawker Beechcraft Corporation airplanes with STC SA1762SO installed may have other STCs or modifications installed that affect VMC. Those modified airplanes may not have VMC accurately marked on the airspeed indicator(s). Whenever an STC is installed, the relationship between the STC being installed and other STCs already installed on the airplane should be properly analyzed to assure there are no adverse effects on the airworthiness of the modified airplane. The installation of multiple STCs affecting VMC on the same airplane could result in conflicting operating limitations. The airspeed limitations placard(s) and the airspeed indicator(s) must be correctly marked with the highest VMC limitation stated in the AFM, AFM supplements, and pilot operating handbooks (POHs), unless FAA-approved testing has been done to determine the correct VMC and a new AFM supplement has replaced the conflicting supplements. Therefore, the VMC limitation stated in the AFM, AFM supplements, and POHs must be reviewed for each airplane to assure the highest VMC limitation is identified. Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Models 95–C55, D55, E55, 58, and 58A airplanes may also have STC SA1762SO installed and be subject to this unsafe condition.
