Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for all GE
Aviation Czech s.r.o. (GEAC) H75–100,
H75–200, H80, H80–100, H80–200,
H85–100, and H85–200 model
turboprop engines. This AD is prompted
by the manufacturer revising the
airworthiness limitations section (ALS)
of the existing engine maintenance
manual (EMM) to introduce updated
coefficients for the calculation of the
cyclic life and safe life for the main
shaft. This AD requires revising the ALS
of the existing EMM and the operator’s
existing approved maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate the updated coefficients and
recalculate the cycles accumulated on
critical parts. The FAA is issuing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.
DATES: This AD is effective February 21,
2023.
ADDRESSES:
AD Docket: You may examine the AD
docket at regulations.gov under Docket
No. FAA–2022–1302; 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 mandatory
continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI), any comments received, and
other information. The address for
Docket Operations is U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M–
30, West Building Ground Floor, Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to all GEAC H75–100, H75–200,
H80, H80–100, H80–200, H85–100, and
H85–200 model turboprop engines. The
NPRM published in the Federal
Register on October 24, 2022 (87 FR
64175). The NPRM was prompted by
AD 2022–0008, dated January 19, 2022,
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
issued by the European Union Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States
of the European Union (referred to after
this as the MCAI). The MCAI states that
the airworthiness limitations for H
series engine models, which are
approved by EASA, are currently
defined and published in the ALS of the
GEAC EMM. These instructions have
been identified as mandatory for
continued airworthiness. Failure to
accomplish these instructions could
result in an unsafe condition. The MCAI
explains that recently GEAC published
a revision to the ALS, introducing
updated coefficients for the calculation
of the cyclic life and safe life for the
main shaft.
In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to
require revising the ALS of the existing
EMM and the operator’s existing
approved maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate
the updated coefficients and recalculate
the cycles accumulated on critical parts.
An owner/operator (pilot) holding at
least a private pilot certificate may
revise the ALS of the existing EMM, and
the owner/operator must enter
compliance with the applicable
paragraphs of the AD into the aircraft
records in showing compliance with
this AD in accordance with 14 CFR
43.9(a) 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.
This is an exception to the FAA’s
standard maintenance regulations. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.
You may examine the MCAI in the
AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA–2022–1302.
Discussion of Final Airworthiness
Directive
Comments
The FAA received no comments on
the NPRM or on the determination of
the costs.
Conclusion
These products have been approved
by the aviation authority of another
country and are approved for operation
in the United States. Pursuant to the
FAA’s bilateral agreement with this
State of Design Authority, it has notified
the FAA of the unsafe condition
described in the MCAI referenced
above. The FAA reviewed the relevant
