ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We are revising Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-09-04 for DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-1000T gliders equipped with a Solo Kleinmotoren Model 2350 C engine. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as engine shaft failure and consequent propeller detachment. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective June 6, 2016. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of June 6, 2016. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of May 26, 2015 (80 FR 25591, May 5, 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 DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-1000T gliders equipped with a Solo Kleinmotoren Model 2350 C engine. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on February 4, 2016 (81 FR 5944), and proposed to revise AD 2015-09-04, Amendment 39-18150 (80 FR 25591, May 5, 2015). Since we issued AD 2015-09-04, Amendment 39-18150 (80 FR 25591, May 5, 2015), new service information has been issued that includes procedures for replacement of the excenter axle-pulley assembly and installation of an elastomeric damper element between the propeller and upper pulley. This optional modification will allow resuming engine operation. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued AD No.: 2015-0052R1, dated November 19, 2015 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct the above-referenced unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: An occurrence of engine shaft failure and consequent propeller detachment was reported on a Solo 2350 C engine. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to additional cases of release of the propeller from the engine, possibly resulting in damage to the sailplane, or injury to persons on the ground. To address this unsafe condition, EASA issued Emergency AD 2013- 0217-E to prohibit operation of the engine. That AD was later revised to introduce an optional modification, through Solo Kleinmotoren Service Bulletin (SB) 4603-14, to install a modified excenter axle-pulley assembly, allowing to resume operation of the engine. Since EASA AD 2013-0217R1 was issued, another occurrence of engine shaft failure and propeller detachment was reported on a Solo 2350 C engine which had been modified in accordance with Solo Kleinmotoren SB 4603-14. Consequently, EASA issued Emergency AD 2015-0052-E, which superseded AD 2013-0217R1, to prohibit operation of all Solo 2350 C engines, including those engines which had been modified in accordance with Solo Kleinmotoren SB 4603-14. That AD also required a one-time inspection of the propeller shaft to detect cracks and the reporting of findings. Since that AD was issued, Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH developed modification drawing nb. 2031211-V2 available for in service application through Solo SB 4603-17 and DG Flugzeugbau GmbH developed modifications drawing nb. 10 M 067, available for in service application through DG Flugzeugbau Technical Note (TN) 1000/ 26 which include replacement of excenter axle-pulley assembly and installation of an elastomeric damper element between the propeller and upper pulley. This AD is revised to introduce optional modifications to allow resuming operation of an engine. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2015-1130-0002. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (81 FR 5944, February 4, 2016) or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 5944, February 4, 2016) for correcting the unsafe condition; and Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 5944, February 4, 2016). Related Service Information Under 1 CFR 51 We reviewed Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH Anleitung zur Inspektion (English translation: Inspection Instruction), Nr. 4603-1, Ausgabe (English translation: Dated) March 26, 2015; Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH Technische Mitteilung (English translation: Service Bulletin) Nr. 4603- 17, Ausgabe (English translation: Dated) July 15, 2015; and DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Technical note No. 1000/26, dated September 23, 2015, with 10M072 titled Propellermontage nach TM 1000-26 (English translation: Propeller assembly TN 1000-26), dated July 14, 2015. Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH Anleitung zur Inspektion (English translation: Inspection Instruction), Nr. 4603-1, Ausgabe (English translation: Dated) March 26, 2015, describes procedures for inspecting the propeller shaft for cracking and reporting the results to the manufacturer. Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH Techniseche Mitteilung (English translation: Service Bulletin) Nr. 4603-17, Ausgabe (English translation: Dated) July 15, 2015, describes procedures for replacement of the excenter axle-pulley assembly. DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Technical note No. 1000/26, dated September 23, 2015, describes procedures for removing the excenter axle-pulley assembly and sending it to Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH for modification with a new rear bearing, axle, and elastomeric damper element. 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. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD will affect 2 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about .5 work-hour per product to comply with the basic operational limitation requirement of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this portion of this AD on U.S. operators to be $85, or $42.50 per product. We also estimate that it will take about 1.5 work-hours per product to comply with the basic axle inspection (remove, inspect, and reinstall) requirement of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this portion of this AD on U.S. operators to be $255, or $127.50 per product. We also estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours per product to comply with the optional axle with drive belt pulley unit replacement and engine test run of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $100 per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this optional AD action on U.S. operators to be $540, or $270 per product. We also estimate that it will take about .5 work-hour per product to comply with the removal of the operational limitation requirement after doing the optional replacement of this [[Page 26126]] AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD action on U.S. operators to be $85, or $42.50 per product. Paperwork Reduction Act A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120- 0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591. ATTN: Information Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200. 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, 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. Examining the AD Docket You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015- 1130; or in person at the Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information. The street address for the Docket Office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.
