We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA-31T, PA-31T1, PA-31T2, PA-31T3, and PA- 31P-350 airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed visual inspections of the wiring below the main circuit breaker panel for proper clearance and evidence of damage and rerouting or replacing wires and/or parts as necessary. This AD was prompted by a fatal accident where evidence of thermal damage in this area was found. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We received reports of a fatal accident on a Piper Aircraft, Inc. 
Model PA-31T airplane. Although the investigation is not complete, the 
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found evidence of thermal 
damage near the main electrical bus circuit breaker panel. The enclosed 
space also includes hydraulic lines that run directly beneath the 
panel. The wiring in this area showed evidence of electrical arcing, 
and the hydraulic lines showed evidence of fire.
    During the accident investigation, we and the NTSB examined the 
area below the circuit breaker panel in 6 different Model PA-31T series 
airplanes. All 6 airplanes had instances of wiring and hydraulic lines 
making direct contact and some of the airplanes showed signs of wiring 
rubbing or chafing adjacent structure or flammable fluid lines.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to electrical arcing 
and a possible inflight fire in an area that is not accessible by the 
crew. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these 
products.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Piper Aircraft, Inc. Service Bulletin No. 1301, dated 
January 6, 2017. The service information describes procedures for 
visually inspecting the area below the main circuit breaker panel and 
rerouting and replacing wires and/or parts as necessary. 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.

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 requires accomplishing the actions specified in the service 
information described previously, except as discussed under 
``Differences Between the AD and the Service Information.''

Differences Between the AD and the Service Information

    This AD requires the initial inspection within 30 days after the 
effective date and repetitive inspections at intervals not to exceed 12 
calendar months, which differs from the compliance time specified in 
the service bulletin. Also, the service bulletin specifies the use of a 
10X magnifying glass; however, the inspection space is very confined, 
and it is difficult to use a magnifying glass in the area. This AD 
requires the use of mirrors, a suitable light source, and other 
equipment (small cameras, borescopes, and magnification, etc.,) as 
needed to do the visual inspection of the area.
    The Summary section of the service bulletin states for you to 
contact your Factory Authorized Service Facility to make arrangements 
for compliance with the service bulletin. Any appropriately licensed 
mechanic may do the work of this AD. Please note that to receive any 
warranty credit from Piper, the work may need to be done at the Factory 
Authorized Service Facility.

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 
rubbing or chafing of the electrical wires to adjacent structure or 
flammable fluid lines could lead to electrical arcing and possible 
inflight fire in an area that is not accessible by the crew. Therefore, 
we find that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are 
impracticable 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 was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public 
comment. 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 the docket number FAA-2017-0045 and 
Directorate Identifier 2017-CE-002-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

    We estimate that this AD affects 335 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements 
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have 
no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these 
replacements:

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.
