We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 99-19-33 for BLANIK LIMITED Models L-13 Blanik and L-13 AC Blanik gliders (type certificate previously held by LET Aeronautical Works). 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 lack of distinct color marking of the elevator drive. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; BLANIK LIMITED Gliders

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 99-19-33 for 
BLANIK LIMITED Models L-13 Blanik and L-13 AC Blanik gliders (type 
certificate previously held by LET Aeronautical Works). 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 lack of distinct color marking of the elevator drive. We 
are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition 
on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective July 14, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of 
November 8, 1999 (64 FR 50440, September 17, 1999).

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 BLANIK LIMITED Models L-13 
Blanik and L-13 AC Blanik gliders. That NPRM was published in the 
Federal Register on March 4, 2016 (81 FR 11473), and proposed to 
supersede AD 99-19-33, Amendment 39-11320 (64 FR 50440; September 17, 
1999) (``AD 99-19-33'').
    The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified 
products and was based on mandatory continuing airworthiness 
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another 
country. The MCAI states that:

    Colour marking of elevator drive is not inspected or re-painted 
during sailplane operation. The elevator drive is asymmetrical and 
improper installation causes significant elevator deflection 
changes.

The MCAI can be found in the AD docket on the Internet at: https://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2016-4233-0003.
    A review of records since issuance of AD 99-19-33 revealed that the 
FAA inadvertently did not address this MCAI for the EVEKTOR, spol. 
s.r.o. Models L 13 SEH VIVAT and L 13 SDM VIVAT gliders and the BLANIK 
LIMITED Model L-13 AC Blanik gliders. This AD would supersede AD 99-19-
13 to add

[[Page 37123]]

the BLANIK LIMITED Model L-13 AC Blanik gliders to the applicability of 
the AD.
    The FAA is addressing the EVEKTOR, spol. s.r.o. Models L 13 SEH 
VIVAT and L 13 SDM VIVAT gliders in another AD action.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (81 FR 11473, March 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 11473, March 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 11473, March 4, 2016).

Related Service Information

    We reviewed LET Aeronautical Works LET Mandatory Bulletin MB No.: 
L13/082a, dated December 10, 1998. The service information describes 
procedures for painting the left arm of the elevator drive. 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 the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 124 products of U.S. registry. 
We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to 
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate 
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $10 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the AD on U.S. 
operators to be $11,780, or $95 per product.

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-2016-
4233; 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.

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 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.


Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-11320 (64 FR 
50440, September 17, 1999) and adding the following new AD:

2016-11-13 BLANIK LIMITED: Amendment 39-18540; Docket No. FAA-2016-
4233; Directorate Identifier 2016-CE-003-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective July 14, 
2016.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 99-19-33, Amendment 39-11320 (64 FR 50440; 
September 17, 1999) (``AD 99-19-33'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to BLANIK LIMITED Models L-13 Blanik and L-13 AC 
Blanik gliders (type certificate previously held by LET Aeronautical 
Works), all serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 27: Flight 
Controls.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness 
information (MCAI) originated 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 lack of distinct 
color marking of the elevator drive. We are issuing this AD to 
prevent inadvertent backward installation of the elevator drive, 
which could cause significant elevator deflection changes and lead 
to loss of control.

(f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the following actions in paragraphs 
(f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD, including all subparagraphs:
    (1) Model L-13 Blanik gliders:
    (i) Within the next 3 calendar months after November 8, 1999 
(the effective date retained from AD 99-19-33), paint the elevator 
drive mechanism using a contrasting color (such as red) following 
the procedures in LET Mandatory Bulletin MB No.: L13/082a, dated 
December 10, 1998.
    (ii) As of November 8, 1999 (the effective date retained from AD 
99-19-33), only install an elevator bellcrank that has been painted 
as specified in paragraph (f)(1)(i) of this AD and that has been 
properly oriented to make sure it is not being installed backward.
    (2) Model L-13 AC Blanik gliders:
    (i) Within the next 3 calendar months after July 14, 2016 (the 
effective date of this AD), paint the elevator drive mechanism using 
a contrasting color (such as red) following the procedures in LET 
Mandatory Bulletin MB No.: L13/082a, dated December 10, 1998.

[[Page 37124]]

    (ii) As of July 14, 2016 (the effective date of this AD), only 
install an elevator bellcrank that has been painted as specified in 
paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this AD and that has been properly oriented 
to make sure it is not being installed backward.

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, 
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
