Amendment 39-17987; Docket No. FAA-2014-0516; Directorate Identifier 2014-CE-021-AD.

(a) EFFECTIVE DATE

    This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective November 12, 2014.

(b) AFFECTED ADS

    This  AD  supersedes  AD 2014-04-03,  Amendment 39-17761 (79 FR 10344,
    February 25, 2014).

(c) APPLICABILITY

    This AD  applies  to  Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes,
    all serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) SUBJECT

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

    to identify and  correct an unsafe  condition on an  aviation product.
    The MCAI describes the  unsafe condition as control  column attachment
    bolts failing in service. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of
    the  control column  attachment bolt,  which could  result in  control
    column detachment and cause loss of control.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-04-03 for

from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as broken control column attachment bolts failing in service.
We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 12, 2014.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of November 12,
2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to add an AD that would apply to all Pacific Aerospace Limited
Model 750XL airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register
on August 1, 2014 (79 FR 44722), and proposed to supersede AD 2014-04-
03, Amendment 39-17761 (79 FR 10344, February 25, 2014).
Since we issued AD 2014-04-03, Amendment 39-17761 (79 FR 10344,
February 25, 2014), Pacific Aerospace Limited revised the related
service information.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which is the airworthiness
authority for New Zealand, has issued AD DCA/750XL/15A, dated June 26,
2014 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes. The MCAI
states:

DCA/750XL/15A revised to mandate the embodiment of modification
PAC/XL/0627 to the control column attachment per the instructions in
Pacific Aerospace Limited Service Bulletin (SB) PACSB/XL/070 issue
2, dated 3 June 2014.

The MCAI can be found in the AD docket on the Internet at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0516-0002.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (79 FR 44722, August 1,
2014) 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 (79 FR 44722, August 1, 2014) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 44722, August 1, 2014).

Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD will affect 17 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 6 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $200 per product.
Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $12,070, or $710 per product.
According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.
The cost difference between AD 2014-04-03, Amendment 39-17761 (79
FR 10344, February 25, 2014), and this AD is the increase in work-hours
from 1.5 to 6 and the increase in cost for parts from $100 to $200, for
an overall cost difference on U.S. operators to be $8,202.50, or
$482.50 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-2014-
0516; 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.
