We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA-23-250, PA-24-250, PA-24-260, PA-24-400, PA-30, PA-31, PA-31-300, PA-31P, PA-39, and PA-E23-250 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an accident caused by fuel starvation where the shape of the wing fuel tanks and fuel below a certain level in that tank may have allowed the fuel to move away from the tank outlet during certain maneuvers. This proposed AD would require installing a fuel system management placard on the aircraft instrument panel and adding text to the Limitations section of the pilot's operating handbook (POH)/airplane flight manual (AFM). We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for 
certain Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA-23-250, PA-24-250, PA-24-260, 
PA-24-400, PA-30, PA-31, PA-31-300, PA-31P, PA-39, and PA-E23-250 
airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an accident caused by fuel 
starvation where the shape of the wing fuel tanks and fuel below a 
certain level in that tank may have allowed the fuel to move away from 
the tank outlet during certain maneuvers. This proposed AD would 
require installing a fuel system management placard on the aircraft 
instrument panel and adding text to the Limitations section of the 
pilot's operating handbook (POH)/airplane flight manual (AFM). We are 
proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 7, 2015.

Discussion

    We received a report of an accident where the shape of the wing 
fuel tanks on Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA-23-250, PA-24-250, PA-24-
260, PA-24-400, PA-30, PA-31, PA-31-300, PA-31P, PA-39, and PA-E23-250 
airplanes, combined with fuel below a certain level in the selected 
tank, may have allowed the fuel to move away from the tank outlet 
during certain maneuvers causing fuel starvation. These airplanes do 
not have baffles in the fuel tanks. Baffles in the fuel tanks slow the 
movement of fuel in the tank during certain maneuvers and prevent the 
unsafe condition. Certain maneuvers, such as prolonged turns during 
taxi prior to takeoff and inflight maneuvers like prolonged slips and 
skids at any pitch attitude, can cause the fuel in the tanks to 
temporarily move away from the tank outlet. This could result in an 
interruption in the flow of the fuel to the engine. It was also noted, 
the manufacturer insufficiently defined procedures for low fuel 
operation. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to loss of 
engine power or engine shutdown, which may result in loss of control.

Relevant Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Piper Aircraft, Inc. Service Bulletin No. 1266, dated 
December 16, 2014. Piper Aircraft, Inc. Service Bulletin No. 1266, 
dated December 16, 2014, calls for/describes actions for, when 
necessary, installing the correct fuel warning placard on the 
instrument panel and adding correct text of that fuel warning placard 
in the Limitations section of the POH/AFM. This service information is 
reasonably available; see ADDRESSES for ways to access this service 
information.

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.

[[Page 15172]]

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified 
in the service information described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 3,000 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 
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the 
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
