Standby Vacuum Systems
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
all airplanes equipped with Precise Flight, Inc. (Precise Flight) Models
SVS I and SVS IA standby vacuum systems (SVS) installed under certain
supplemental type certificates or through field approval. This proposed AD
would require you to replace the airplane flight manual supplement (AFMS)
in the airplane flight manual with the appropriate revision and install
placards as defined in the AFMS, upgrade the Model SVS I or SVS IA SVS to
the Model VI SVS, and add the instructions for continued airworthiness
(ICA) to the maintenance schedule for the aircraft. This proposed AD
results from several reports of failed shuttle control valves of the
standby vacuum system (SVS) and one report of an airplane crash with a
fatality in which improper use of the SVS was a factor. We are issuing
this proposed AD to correct problems with the SVS before failure or
malfunction during instrument flight rules (IFR) flight that can lead to
pilot disorientation and loss of control of the aircraft.
DATES: We must receive any comments on this proposed AD by April 29, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Use one of the following to submit comments on this proposed
AD:
DOT Docket Web site: Go to http://dms.dot.gov and follow the instructions
for sending your comments electronically.

http://dms.dot.gov. The comments will be available in the AD docket
shortly after the DMS receives them.
DISCUSSION
What events have caused this proposed AD? The FAA has received several
reports of problems on aircraft equipped with a Precise Flight, Inc.
standby vacuum system (SVS). In particular, the reports show 14 incidents
of failed shuttle control valves and one report of an airplane crash with
a fatality where improper use of the SVS was a factor that caused us to
issue AD 99-24-10, Amendment 39-11434 (64 FR 66747, November 30, 1999). AD
99-24-10 currently requires the following on all aircraft equipped with
Precise Flight, Inc. Model SVS III standby vacuum systems installed under
the applicable supplemental type certificate (STC) or through field
approval:
--Incorporate revised operating limitations for the affected SVS into the
airplane flight manual (AFM);
--Inspect (repetitively) the push-pull cable, vacuum lines, saddle
fittings, and shuttle valve for correct installation and damage
(wear, chafing, deterioration, and so forth); and
--Correct any discrepancy found and conduct a function test of the vacuum
system after the inspections.
The SVS is intended to provide emergency vacuum power for aircraft
instruments when the primary vacuum system fails. The design of the
Precise Flight, Inc. Models SVS I and SVS IA SVS is similar to the Model
SVS III SVS, and so it may not be able to provide sufficient vacuum power
to correctly measure altitude and operate the vacuum instruments. The
upgrade of the Models SVS I or IA SVS to the Model SVS VI SVS provides
sufficient vacuum power to correctly measure altitude and operate the
vacuum instruments.
Failure of the SVS in instrument flight rules (IFR) can lead to the pilot
making incorrect decisions based on the data received from the instruments
with consequent loss of control of the aircraft.
The Precise Flight, Inc. Models SVS I and SVS IA SVS are installed on
aircraft through a supplemental type certificate (STC) or through field
approval. The Applicability section of the proposed AD lists the
applicable STCs and aircraft that could have these SVS installed. This
list is not meant to be exhaustive nor does it include all aircraft with
the systems installed through field approval.
What is the potential impact if FAA took no action? Failure or malfunction
of the SVS during IFR flight can lead to pilot disorientation and loss of
control of the aircraft.
Is there service information that applies to this subject? Precise Flight,
Inc. has issued Installation Report No. 08080, Standby Vacuum System Model
VI--Shuttle Valve S/N 10243 & Subsequent (Manual Valve), Revision A, dated
February 21, 2001. This report provides instructions for the upgrade of
the Models SVS I or SVS IA SVS to the Model VI SVS; and includes
procedures for upgrading to the Model SVS VI SVS.
FAA'S DETERMINATION AND REQUIREMENTS OF THIS PROPOSED AD
What has FAA decided? We have evaluated all pertinent information and
identified an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on other
products of this same type design. For this reason, we are proposing AD
action.
What would this proposed AD require? This proposed AD would require you to
replace the airplane flight manual supplement (AFMS) in the airplane
flight manual with the appropriate revision and install placards as
defined in the AFMS, upgrade the Model SVS I or SVS IA SVS to the Model VI
SVS, and add the instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) to the
maintenance schedule for the aircraft.
How does the revision to 14 CFR part 39 affect this proposed AD? On July
10, 2002, we published a new version of 14 CFR part 39 (67 FR 47997, July
22, 2002), which governs FAA's AD system. This regulation now includes
material that relates to altered products, special flight permits, and
alternative methods of compliance. This material previously was included
in each individual AD. Since this material is included in 14 CFR part 39,
we will not include it in future AD actions.
COSTS OF COMPLIANCE
How many airplanes would this proposed AD impact? We estimate that this
proposed AD affects 800 airplanes in the U.S. registry.
What would be the cost impact of this proposed AD on owners/operators of
the affected airplanes? We estimate the following costs to replace the
airplane flight manual supplement (AFMS) in the airplane flight manual
with the appropriate revision. We have no way of determining the number of
airplanes that may need this replacement:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL COST PER
LABOR COST PARTS COST AIRPLANE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 work hour x $65 = $65 None $65
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any upgrade to the Model SVS VI SVS,
install placards, and add the installation report including the
instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) to the maintenance schedule
for the aircraft. We have no way of determining the number of airplanes
that may need this upgrade:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL COST PER
LABOR COST PARTS COST AIRPLANE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 work hour x $65 = $195 $77 $272
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGULATORY FINDINGS
Would this proposed AD impact various entities? We have determined that
this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive
Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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.
Would this proposed AD involve a significant rule or regulatory action?
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this proposed 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); and
3. 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.
We prepared a summary of the costs to comply with this proposed AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary by sending
a request to us at the address listed under ADDRESSES. Include "AD Docket
FAA-2004-19354; Directorate Identifier 2004-CE-30-AD" in your request.
