We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG Rotax 912 F2, 912 F3, 912 F4, 912 S2, 912 S3, 912 S4, 914 F2, 914 F3, and 914 F4 reciprocating engines. This AD requires re-identification of the engine model and concurrent modification of the aircraft to indicate the maximum coolant temperature limit. This AD was prompted by a design change introduced by the manufacturer that relocated the engine cylinder head temperature sensor to a different location and converted it to a coolant temperature sensor. We are issuing this AD to prevent exceeding engine coolant temperature limits, which could result in loss of engine coolant, damage to the engine, and loss of control of the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG 
Reciprocating Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 
BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG Rotax 912 F2, 912 F3, 912 F4, 912 S2, 912 
S3, 912 S4, 914 F2, 914 F3, and 914 F4 reciprocating engines. This AD 
requires re-identification of the engine model and concurrent 
modification of the aircraft to indicate the maximum coolant 
temperature limit. This AD was prompted by a design change introduced 
by the manufacturer that relocated the engine cylinder head temperature 
sensor to a different location and converted it to a coolant 
temperature sensor. We are issuing this AD to prevent exceeding engine 
coolant temperature limits, which could result in loss of engine 
coolant, damage to the engine, and loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 27, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 27, 
2016.

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 March 18, 2016 (81 FR 
14804). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the 
specified products. The MCAI states:

    A design change of the engine cylinder heads was introduced by 
BRP-Powertrain in March 2013 which modifies the engine/aircraft 
interfaces by substituting the previous cylinder head temperature 
(CHT) measurement (limit temperature 135 [deg]C/150 [deg]C) with a 
coolant temperature (CT) measurement (limit temperature 120 [deg]C).
    The design change was communicated on 15 May 2013 by BRP-
Powertrain Service Instruction (SI) 912-020R7/914-022R7 (single 
document) but was not identified by a change of the engine model 
designation or of the engine P/N but only through the cylinder head 
P/N and the position of the temperature sensor.
    Consequently, engines with the new cylinder heads (installed 
during production or replaced in-service during maintenance) may be 
installed on an aircraft without concurrent modification of that 
aircraft, instructions for which should be provided by the type 
certificate (TC) holder or the supplemental type certificate (STC) 
holder, as applicable. In this case, the coolant temperature with a 
maximum engine operating limit of 120 [deg]C (valid for engines 
operated with water diluted glycol coolant) is displayed on a CHT 
indicator with a typical limit marking (red radial/range) of more 
than 120 [deg]C.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD 
docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for 
and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-2042.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (81 FR 14804, March 18, 
2016).

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and 
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed expect for 
minor editorial changes. We determined that these changes will not 
increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of 
this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG has issued Service Bulletin (SB) SB-
912-068/SB-914-049 (one document), dated April 16, 2015. The service 
information describes procedures for re-identification of the type 
plate for certain BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG Rotax 912 and 914 
engines. 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 affects about 40 engines installed on 
aircraft of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about 5 
hours per engine to inspect and re-identify the type plate. The average 
labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the 
cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $17,000.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to 
issue

[[Page 40484]]

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.
