2013-11-11	CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY: Amendment 39-17471; Docket No. FAA-2012-1052; Directorate Identifier 2012-CE-014-AD.

(a) EFFECTIVE DATE

    This AD is effective August 1, 2013.

(b) AFFECTED ADS

    This  AD supersedes  AD 2000-04-01,  Amendment 39-11583  (65 FR  8649,
    February 22, 2000).

(c) APPLICABILITY

    This AD applies to Cessna Aircraft Company Models 172R, serial numbers
    (S/N) 17280001 through 17281618; 172S, S/N 172S8001 through 172S11256;
    182S,  S/N  18280001  through  18280944;  182T,  S/N  18280945 through
    18282357; T182T, S/N T18208001  through T18209089; 206H, S/N  20608001
    through  20608349;  and   T206H,  S/N  T20608001   through  T20609079;
    certificated in any category.

(d) SUBJECT

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association (ATA)
    of America Code 7931, Engine Oil Pressure.

(e) UNSAFE CONDITION

    This  AD  was prompted  by  new reports  of  internal failure  of  the
    improved engine oil  pressure switch, which  could result in  complete
    loss of engine oil with consequent partial or complete loss of  engine
    power or fire. We are issuing this AD to increase the applicability of
    the AD and place a life-limit of 3,000 hours time-in-service (TIS)  on
    the engine oil pressure switch, requiring replacement when the  engine
    oil pressure switch reaches its life limit.

(f) COMPLIANCE

    Comply with this AD  within the compliance times  specified, following
    Cessna Service Bulletin  SB 07-79-01, dated  January 29, 2007,  unless
    already done.

(g) ACTIONS

(1) At the next scheduled oil change, annual inspection, or 100-hour time-
    in-service (TIS) inspection after  August 1, 2013 (the  effective date
    of this  AD), whichever  occurs later,  but in  no case  later than 12
    months after August 1, 2013  (the effective date of this  AD), inspect
    the engine oil pressure switch to determine if it is part-number (P/N)
    77041 or P/N 83278.

(2) If  after the inspection required in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD,  P/N
    77041 engine oil pressure switch is installed, before further  flight,
    replace the  engine oil  pressure switch  with a  new, zero  time, P/N
    83278  engine  oil pressure  switch.  Record the  engine  oil pressure
    switch part number, date, and  airplane hours TIS in the  airplane log
    book. The recorded engine oil pressure switch TIS will be used as  the
    benchmark for calculation  of the 3,000  hour TIS limit  on the engine
    oil pressure switch.

(3) After August 1, 2013 (the effective date of this AD), do not install a
    P/N 77041 engine oil pressure switch on any affected airplane.

(4) If after the inspection required in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD  it is
    confirmed  that P/N  83278 engine  oil pressure  switch is  installed,
    through inspection of  the airplane or  engine logbooks determine  the
    TIS of the engine oil pressure switch.

(5) If after the inspection  required  in  paragraph (g)(1) of this AD you
    cannot positively identify the hours  TIS on the P/N 83278  engine oil
    pressure  switch,  before  further  flight,  replace  the  engine  oil
    pressure switch with a new,  zero time, P/N 83278 engine  oil pressure
    switch. Record the engine oil  pressure switch part number, date,  and
    airplane  hours in  the airplane  log book.  The  recorded  engine oil
    pressure switch TIS will be  used as the benchmark for  calculation of
    the 3,000 hour TIS limit on the engine oil pressure switch.

(6) When the engine oil pressure switch is at or  greater than 3,000 hours
    TIS or within 50 hours TIS after August 1, 2013 (the effective date of
    this  AD),  whichever  occurs later,  and  repetitively  thereafter at
    intervals not to exceed  3,000 hours TIS on  the P/N 83278 engine  oil
    pressure switch, replace  it with a  new, zero time,  P/N 83278 engine
    oil  pressure  switch.  Record the  engine  oil  pressure switch  part
    number,  date,  and  airplane  hours in  the  airplane  log  book. The
    recorded engine oil pressure switch TIS will be used as the  benchmark
    for calculation of the 3,000 hour TIS limit on the engine oil pressure
    switch.

(h) ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE (AMOCS)

(1) The Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the
    authority  to  approve  AMOCs  for this  AD,  if  requested  using the

PREAMBLE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: We are superseding AD 2000-04-01 that applies to certain
Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 172R, 172S, 182S, 182T, T182T,
206H, and T206H airplanes. AD 2000-04-01 currently requires an
inspection of the engine oil pressure switch and, if applicable,
replacement of the engine oil pressure switch. This AD increases the
applicability of the AD, places a life-limit of 3,000 hours time-in-
service on the engine oil pressure switch, and requires replacement
when the engine oil pressure switch reaches its life limit. This AD was
prompted by new reports of internal failure of the engine oil pressure
switch, which could result in complete loss of engine oil with
consequent partial or complete loss of engine power or fire. We are
issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 1, 2013.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of August 1,
2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2000-04-01, amendment 39-11583
(65 FR 8649, February 22, 2000). AD 2000-04-01 applies to the specified
products. The SNPRM published in the Federal Register on March 7, 2013
(78 FR 14726). The NPRM (77 FR 60062, October 2, 2012) proposed to
increase the applicability of the AD and place a life-limit of 3,000
hours time-in-service (TIS) on the engine oil pressure switch,
requiring replacement when the engine oil pressure switch reaches its
life limit. The SNPRM proposed to change the applicable serial numbers
ranges and place a life-limit of 3,000 hours TIS on the engine oil
pressure switch, requiring replacement when the engine oil pressure
switch reaches its life limit.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the SNPRM (78 FR 14726, March 7,
2013) 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 this 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
SNPRM (78 FR 14726, March 7, 2013) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM (78 FR 14726, March 7, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD affects 6,156 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

Estimated Costs

Action	Labor cost	Parts cost	Cost per product	Cost on U.S. operators
Inspection of the airplane or engine records.	.5 work-hour x $85 per hour = $42.50.	Not applicable	$42.50	$261,630
Inspection of the engine oil pressure switch installation.	.5 work-hour x $85 per hour = $42.50.	Not applicable	42.50	261,630
Removal and replacement of the engine oil pressure switch and logbook entry.	.5 work-hour x $85 per hour = $42.50.	$54	96.50	594,054

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 have 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 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment
