We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Technify Motors GmbH TAE 125-02 reciprocating engines with a dual mass flywheel installed. This AD requires installation of a start phase monitoring system and associated specified software. This AD was prompted by reports of a gearbox drive shaft breaking during starting or restarting of the engine. We are issuing this AD to prevent overload and failure of the gearbox drive shaft, which could result in failure of the engine, in-flight shutdown, and loss of control of the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Technify Motors GmbH Reciprocating 
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 
Technify Motors GmbH TAE 125-02 reciprocating engines with a dual mass 
flywheel installed. This AD requires installation of a start phase 
monitoring system and associated specified software. This AD was 
prompted by reports of a gearbox drive shaft breaking during starting 
or restarting of the engine. We are issuing this AD to prevent overload 
and failure of the gearbox drive shaft, which could result in failure 
of the engine, in-flight shutdown, and loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 27, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 27, 
2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to the specified products. The 
NPRM was published in the Federal Register on July 8, 2015 (80 FR 
38990). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the 
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Cases of a broken gearbox drive shaft have been reported on 
aeroplanes equipped with TAE 125-02 engines that have a Dual Mass 
Flywheel installed.
    Investigations results showed a possible overload of the gearbox 
drive shaft during starting of the engine or during restarting of 
the engine in-flight.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to engine power 
loss during flight, possibly resulting in loss of control of the 
aeroplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (80 FR 38990, July 8, 
2015).

[[Page 64315]]

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and 
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Technify Motors GmbH has issued Service Bulletin No. SB TMG 125-
1018 P1, Revision 1, dated February 5, 2015. The service information 
describes procedures for installing a start phase monitoring system and 
associated specified software mapping on particular airplane models. 
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 final rule.

Other Related Service Information

    Technify Motors GmbH has also issued Technify Motors SB No. TM TAE 
000-0007, Revision 28, dated February 5, 2015; Technify Motors 
Installation Manual No. IM-02-02, Issue 4, Revision 2, dated January 
30, 2015, with Chapter 02-IM-13-02, section 13.8.16, Revision 1, dated 
November 28, 2014; Technify Motors SB No. SB TMG 601-1007 P1, Revision 
3, dated February 5, 2015; and Technify Motors SB No. SB TMG 651-1004 
P1, Revision 2, dated February 5, 2015. Diamond Aircraft Industries 
GmbH (DAI) has issued DAI Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. 42-109/
1, dated February 4, 2015; and DAI MSB No. 42-007/16, dated February 4, 
2015. The service information describes procedures for installing a 
start phase monitoring system and associated specified software 
mapping.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 97 engines installed on airplanes 
of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about 3 hours per 
engine to comply with this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. 
For 13 of the engines, required parts cost about $285 per engine. For 
84 of the engines, required parts cost about $206 per engine. Based on 
these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be 
$45,744.

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 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 this AD:
    (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 to the extent 
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, 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.

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness 
directive (AD):

2015-21-01 Technify Motors GmbH (Type Certificate Previously Held by 
Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH): Amendment 39-18293; Docket No. FAA-
