Need for the Correction
As published, the docket number and
product identifier in the first paragraph
of the Comments Invited section of the
preamble are incorrect. The paragraph
incorrectly references Docket Number
‘‘FAA–2020–0711’’ and Product
Identifier ‘‘MCAI–2020–00719–A,’’
instead of Docket No. FAA–2020–0723
and Product Identifier AD–2020–00586–
Q.
Although no other part of the
preamble or regulatory information has
been corrected, for clarity, the FAA is
publishing the entire rule in the Federal
Register.
The effective date of this AD remains
August 17, 2020.
Related Service Information
The FAA reviewed Aspen Operator
Advisory OA2020–01, dated March 3,
2020. This document advises operators
of the automatic reset event and
provides recommended operating
limitations.
The FAA also reviewed Aspen
Service Bulletin Number: SB2020–01,
dated April 1, 2020. This document
provides instructions for updating the
EFD software to correct the automatic
reset issue. This AD does not apply to
airplanes that are compliant with this
service information.
Good Cause for Adoption Without Prior
Notice
Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies
to dispense with notice and comment
procedures for rules when the agency
for ‘‘good cause’’ finds that those
procedures are ‘‘impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ Section 553(d)(3) of the APA
requires that agencies publish a rule not
less than 30 days before its effective
date, except as otherwise provided by
the agency for good cause found and
published with the rule.
Since this action only corrects the
docket number and product identifier in
the preamble, the FAA finds that notice
and public comment under 5 U.S.C.
553(b) is unnecessary. For the same
reason, the FAA finds that good cause
exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making
this rule effective in less than 30 days.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves
requirements affecting flight safety and
was not preceded by notice and an
opportunity for public comment.
However, we invite you to send any
written data, views, or arguments about
this final rule. Send your comments to
an address listed under the ADDRESSES
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
section. Include the Docket Number
FAA–2020–0723 and Product Identifier
AD–2020–00586–Q at the beginning of
your comments.
Except for Confidential Business
Information (CBI) as described in the
following paragraph, and other
information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments
received, without change, to https://
www.regulations.gov, including any
personal information you provide. The
FAA will also post a report
summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this final rule.
Confidential Business Information
CBI is commercial or financial
information that is both customarily and
actually treated as private by its owner.
Under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt
from public disclosure. If your
comments responsive to this AD contain
commercial or financial information
that is customarily treated as private,
that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this AD,
it is important that you clearly designate
the submitted comments as CBI. Please
mark each page of your submission
containing CBI as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA
will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they
will not be placed in the public docket
of this AD. Submissions containing CBI
should be sent to Mahmood Shah,
Aerospace Engineer, Fort Worth ACO
Branch, FAA, 10101 Hillwood Pkwy.,
Fort Worth, TX 76177. Any commentary
that the FAA receives which is not
specifically designated as CBI will be
placed in the public docket for this
rulemaking.

The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for Pacific
Aerospace Limited Model 750XL
airplanes. 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
inadvertent fuel shut-off to the engine
during the operation of the flaps due to
the fuel and flap control levers being
located too closely together. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective September 8,
2020.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in the AD
as of September 8, 2020.
The FAA must receive comments on
this AD by October 1, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA),
which is the aviation authority for New
Zealand, has issued AD DCA/750XL/39,
dated September 5, 2019 (referred to
after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an
unsafe condition for Pacific Aerospace
Limited Model 750XL airplanes. The
MCAI states:
DCA/750XL/39 with effective date 5
September 2019 is prompted by the findings
of an accident investigation. The report
recommended that an effective lock
mechanism should be introduced for the fuel
condition lever in order to prevent
inadvertent fuel shut-off to the engine during
the operation of the flaps, as the fuel and flap
control levers are closely located.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that
published in the Federal Register. The AD applies to certain Aspen
Avionics, Inc., Evolution Flight Display (EFD) EFD1000 Emergency Backup
Display, EFD1000 Multi-Function Display, and EFD1000 Primary Flight
Display systems installed on various airplanes. As published, the
docket number and product identifier in the Comments Invited section of
the preamble are incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all
other respects, the original document remains the same; however, for
clarity, the FAA is publishing the entire rule in the Federal Register.
DATES: This correction is effective August 17, 2020. The effective date
of AD 2020-16-08 remains August 17, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

You may examine the AD docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2020-
0723; or in person at Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains
this final rule, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and
other information. The street address for the Docket Operations is
listed above. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As published, AD 2020-16-08, Amendment 39-
21192 (85 FR 45990, July 31, 2020) (``AD 2020-16-08''), applies to
certain Aspen Avionics, Inc., EFD1000 Emergency Backup Display, EFD1000
Multi-Function Display, and EFD1000 Primary Flight Display systems
installed on various airplanes. AD 2020-16-08 imposes operating
restrictions to flight under visual flight rules (VFR) and prohibits
night operations to allow safe operation in the event of a loss of
flight display functionality.
[[Page 49945]]
Need for the Correction
As published, the docket number and product identifier in the first
paragraph of the Comments Invited section of the preamble are
incorrect. The paragraph incorrectly references Docket Number ``FAA-
2020-0711'' and Product Identifier ``MCAI-2020-00719-A,'' instead of
Docket No. FAA-2020-0723 and Product Identifier AD-2020-00586-Q.
Although no other part of the preamble or regulatory information
has been corrected, for clarity, the FAA is publishing the entire rule
in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains August 17, 2020.
Related Service Information
The FAA reviewed Aspen Operator Advisory OA2020-01, dated March 3,
2020. This document advises operators of the automatic reset event and
provides recommended operating limitations.
The FAA also reviewed Aspen Service Bulletin Number: SB2020-01,
dated April 1, 2020. This document provides instructions for updating
the EFD software to correct the automatic reset issue. This AD does not
apply to airplanes that are compliant with this service information.
Good Cause for Adoption Without Prior Notice
Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency for ``good cause'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Section 553(d)(3) of the APA requires that
agencies publish a rule not less than 30 days before its effective
date, except as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found
and published with the rule.
Since this action only corrects the docket number and product
identifier in the preamble, the FAA finds that notice and public
comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. For the same reason, the
FAA finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this
rule effective in less than 30 days.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or
arguments about this final rule. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include the Docket Number FAA-2020-
0723 and Product Identifier AD-2020-00586-Q at the beginning of your
comments.
Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact received about this final rule.
Confidential Business Information
CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Mahmood
Shah, Aerospace Engineer, Fort Worth ACO Branch, FAA, 10101 Hillwood
Pkwy., Fort Worth, TX 76177. Any commentary that the FAA receives which
is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public
docket for this rulemaking.

(d) Subject
Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association
(ATA) of America Code 3410, FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT DATA; 3420, ATTITUDE
AND DIRECTION DATA SYSTEM.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by an automatic reset occurring when the
display internal monitor detects a potential fault causing
intermittent loss of airspeed, attitude, and altitude information
during flight. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the software
interacting with a graphics processing chip defect. The unsafe
condition, if not addressed, could result in intermittent loss of
airspeed, attitude, and altitude information during flight with
consequent loss of airplane control.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Required Actions
(1) Before further flight, revise the limitations section of the
airplane flight manual (AFM) for your airplane by inserting a copy
of this AD or by making a pen and ink change to add: ``Operation
under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) or night Visual Flight Rules
(VFR) is prohibited.''
(2) The action required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD 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)
through (4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be
maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417. This authority is not
applicable to aircraft being operated under 14 CFR part 119.
(h) Special Flight Permit
Special flight permits are prohibited.
(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)
(1) The Manager, Fort Worth ACO Branch, 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 certification office, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (j).
(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.
