■ Accordingly, pursuant to the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the following special conditions are
issued as part of the type certification
basis for Viking Air, Ltd., models DHC–
6–100/–200/–300 Turbopropeller
airplanes modified by Avmax Aviation
Services, Ltd.
1. Installation of Lithium Battery
The FAA adopts that the following
special conditions be applied to lithium
battery installations on the models
DHC–6–100/–200/–300 Turbopropeller
airplanes in lieu of the requirements
§ 23.1353(a)(b)(c)(d)(e), amendment 49.
Lithium battery installations on the
models DHC–6–100/–200/–300
Turbopropeller airplanes must be
designed and installed as follows:
(1) Safe cell temperatures and
pressures must be maintained during—
i. Normal operations;
ii. Any probable failure conditions of
charging or discharging or battery
monitoring system; and
iii. Any failure of the charging or
battery monitoring system not shown to
be extremely remote.
(2) The rechargeable lithium battery
installation must be designed to
preclude explosion or fire in the event
of 1(1)(ii) and 1(1)(iii) failures.
(3) Design of the rechargeable lithium
batteries must preclude the occurrence
of self-sustaining, uncontrolled
increases in temperature or pressure.
(4) No explosive or toxic gasses
emitted by any rechargeable lithium
battery in normal operation or as the
result of any failure of the battery
charging system, monitoring system, or
battery installation which is not shown
to be extremely remote, may accumulate
in hazardous quantities within the
airplane.
(5) Installations of rechargeable
lithium batteries must meet the
requirements of § 23.863(a) through (d)
at amendment 23–34.
(6) No corrosive fluids or gases that
may escape from any rechargeable
lithium battery may damage
surrounding structure or any adjacent

Jkt 241001
systems, equipment, electrical wiring, or
the airplane in such a way as to cause
a major or more severe failure condition,
in accordance with § 23.1309 at
amendment 23–49 and applicable
regulatory guidance.
(7) Each rechargeable lithium battery
installation must have provisions to
prevent any hazardous effect on
structure or essential systems that may
be caused by the maximum amount of
heat the battery can generate during a
short circuit of the battery or of its
individual cells.
(8) Rechargeable lithium battery
installations must have—
i. A system to automatically control
the charging rate of the battery to
prevent battery overheating and
overcharging; and either
ii. A battery temperature sensing and
over-temperature warning system with a
means for automatically disconnecting
the battery from its charging source in
the event of an over-temperature
condition; or
iii. A battery failure sensing and
warning system with a means for
automatically disconnecting the battery
from its charging source in the event of
battery failure.
(9) Any rechargeable lithium battery
installation, the function of which is
required for safe operation of the
aircraft, must incorporate a monitoring
and warning feature that will provide an
indication to the appropriate flight
crewmembers whenever the state of
charge of the batteries has fallen below
levels considered acceptable for
dispatch (see note 1) of the aircraft.
Note 1: Reference § 23.1353(h) for dispatch
consideration.
(10) The Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness (ICA) required by
§ 23.1529 must contain maintenance
requirements (see note 2) to assure that
the battery has been sufficiently charged
(see note 3) at appropriate intervals
specified by the battery manufacturer
and the equipment manufacturer that
contain the rechargeable lithium battery
or rechargeable lithium battery system.
The lithium rechargeable batteries and
lithium rechargeable battery systems
must not degrade below specified
ampere-hour levels sufficient to power
the aircraft system. The ICA must also
contain procedures for the maintenance
of replacement batteries (see note 4) to
prevent the installation of batteries that
have degraded charge retention ability
or other damage due to prolonged
storage at a low state of charge.
Replacement batteries must be of the
same manufacturer and part number as
approved by the FAA.

Note 2: Maintenance requirements include
procedures that—
(a) Check battery capacity, charge
degradation at manufacturers
recommended inspection intervals.
(b) Replace batteries at manufacturers
recommended replacement schedule/
time to prevent age related degradation.
Note 3: The term ‘‘sufficiently charged’’
means that the battery must retain enough
charge, expressed in ampere-hours, to ensure
that the battery cells will not be damaged.
A battery cell may be damaged by low
charge (i.e., below certain level),
resulting in a reduction in the ability to
charge and retain a full charge. This
reduction would be greater than the
reduction that may result from normal
operational degradation.
Note 4: Replacement battery in spares
storage may be subject to prolonged storage
at a low state of charge.

We are superseding
airworthiness directive (AD) 2012–04–
01 for all Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211–
Trent 800 model turbofan engines. AD
2012–04–01 required removal from
service of certain critical engine rotating
parts based on reduced life limits. This
AD makes additional revisions to the
life limits of certain critical engine
rotating parts. This AD was prompted
by RR further revising the life limits of
certain critical engine rotating parts. We
are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective May 30,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
considered the comments received. The
Boeing Company and American Airlines
support the NPRM as written.
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2012–04–01,
Amendment 39–16956 (77 FR 10355,
February 22, 2012), (‘‘AD 2012–04–01’’).
AD 2012–04–01 applied to the specified
products. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on January 18, 2017
(82 FR 5454). The NPRM proposed to
continue to require removal from
service of certain critical engine rotating
parts based on reduced life limits.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data,
including the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this AD
as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 16
engines installed on airplanes of U.S.
registry.
We estimate the following costs to
comply with 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
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:

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.
