ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-17-07 for certain M7 Aerospace LLC (type certificate previously held by M7 Aerospace LP) Models SA226-T, SA226-T(B), SA226-TC, and SA226-AT airplanes. AD 2011-17-07 required repetitive replacement and inspection of certain elevator, rudder, aileron, and aileron-to-rudder interconnect primary control cables, and checking and setting of flight control cable tension. This AD requires repetitively inspecting and replacing the primary flight control rudder cables, repetitively replacing all other primary flight control and trim tab cables, and checking/setting the flight control cable tension. This AD was prompted by a report of extensive damage found on the left hand primary flight control rudder cable located under the cockpit floor on one of the airplanes affected by AD 2011-17-07. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective July 21, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion On August 2, 2011, we issued AD 2011-17-07, Amendment 39-16771 (76 FR 50881, August 17, 2011), (``AD 2011-17-07''), for certain M7 Aerospace LLC (type certificate previously held by M7 Aerospace LP) Models SA226-T, SA226-T(B), SA226-TC, and SA226-AT airplanes. AD 2011- 17-07 required repetitive replacement and inspection of certain elevator, rudder, aileron, and aileron-to-rudder interconnect primary control cables, and checking and setting of flight control cable tension. AD 2011-17-07 resulted from a report that the left-hand primary rudder control cable on a Model SA226-T airplane failed where the cable makes a 30 degree angle over a small pulley to accommodate re-routing of the control cable alongside the camera system installed in the center of the cabin. We issued AD 2011-17-07 to prevent failure of a rudder, aileron and/or elevator control cable. Actions Since AD 2011-17-07 Was Issued Since we issued AD 2011-17-07, extensive damage to the left hand (LH) primary flight control rudder cable was found under the cockpit floor on one of the airplanes affected by AD 2011-17-07. Inspection of the cable revealed five of the seven wires that make up the LH cable were broken adjacent to the pulley at FS126.06. A follow-on inspection of the right hand (RH) primary flight control rudder cable also showed several strands of some of the 7 x 19 cable wires were broken at the same RH FS126.06 pulley location. Both cables had been replaced at 1,513 hours time-in-service (TIS) before the finding of the broken cables to comply with the 3,500-hour TIS replacement time required in AD 2011-17-07. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 We reviewed M7 Aerospace SA226 Series Service Bulletin 226-27-072, issued June 27, 2011, and M7 Aerospace SA226 Series Service Letter 226- SL-050, issued April 15, 2015. The service [[Page 38392]] information describes procedures for repetitively inspecting and replacing all elevator, rudder, aileron, and aileron-to-rudder interconnect primary control cables. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section of this AD. FAA's Determination We are issuing 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. AD Requirements This AD retains the actions previously required in AD 2011-17-07 and adds new inspection and replacement requirements for the LH and RH primary flight control rudder cables. Differences Between This AD and the Service Information M7 Aerospace SA226 Series Service Bulletin 226-27-072, issued June 27, 2011, requires replacing the LH and the RH primary flight control rudder cables every 3,500 hours TIS. This AD requires inspecting the LH and the RH primary flight control rudder cables every 200 hours TIS and requires replacing the LH and the RH primary flight control rudder cables every 800 hours TIS. FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because there are no airplanes currently on the U.S. registry and thus, does not have any impact upon the public. Therefore, we find that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are unnecessary and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days. Comments Invited This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to provide your comments before it becomes effective. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include Docket No. FAA-2015-2435 and Directorate Identifier 2015-CE-020-AD at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of those comments. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD. Costs of Compliance There are no affected airplanes currently on the U.S. registry. However, if an airplane affected by this AD were to become a U.S.- registered airplane, we estimate the following costs to comply with this AD: Estimated Costs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost per Cost on U.S. Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspection of all elevator, 100 work-hours x Not Applicable............. $8,500 None to date. rudder, aileron, and aileron- $85 per hour = to-rudder interconnect $8,500. primary control cables. Replacement of all elevator, 180 work-hours x $18,800.................... 34,100 None to date. rudder, aileron, and aileron- $85 per hour = to-rudder interconnect $15,300. primary control cables. Check (set) flight control 25 work-hours x Not Applicable............. 2,125 None to date. cable tension. $2,125. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866, (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows: PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 0 1.
