(d) SUBJECT

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association (ATA)
    of America Code 3410,  FLIGHT  ENVIRONMENT  DATA;  3420,  ATTITUDE AND
    DIRECTION DATA SYSTEM.

(e) UNSAFE CONDITION

    This AD was prompted by an automatic reset occurring when the  display
    internal monitor detects a  potential fault causing intermittent  loss
    of airspeed, attitude, and altitude information during flight. The FAA
    is issuing this AD to address the software interacting with a graphics
    processing chip defect. The unsafe condition, if not addressed,  could
    result  in  intermittent  loss  of  airspeed,  attitude,  and altitude
    information during flight with consequent loss of airplane control.

(f) COMPLIANCE

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,  unless al-
    ready done.

(g) REQUIRED ACTIONS

(1) Before further flight,  revise the limitations section of the airplane
    flight manual (AFM) for your airplane  by inserting a copy of this  AD
    or by making a pen and ink change to add: "Operation under  Instrument
    Flight Rules (IFR) or night Visual Flight Rules (VFR) is prohibited."

(2) The action required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD may be performed by
    the  owner/operator   (pilot)  holding   at  least   a  private  pilot
    certificate  and must  be entered  into the  aircraft records  showing
    compliance with this AD in  accordance with 14 CFR 43.9(a)(1)  through
    (4)  and 14  CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v).  The  record  must be  maintained as
    required  by  14  CFR  91.417. This  authority  is  not  applicable to
    aircraft being operated under 14 CFR part 119.

(h) SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT

    Special flight permits are prohibited.

(i) ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE (AMOCS)

(1) The Manager, Fort Worth ACO Branch, FAA,  has the authority to approve
    AMOCs for this AD, if requested  using the procedures found in 14  CFR
    39.19. In  accordance with  14 CFR  39.19, send  your request  to your
    principal  inspector  or  local Flight  Standards District  Office, as
    appropriate. If  sending information  directly to  the manager  of the
    certification  office,  send  it  to  the  attention  of  the   person

Airworthiness Directives; Aspen Avionics, Inc.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Aspen Avionics, Inc., Evolution Flight Display (EFD) EFD1000
Emergency Backup Display, EFD1000 Multi-Function Display, and EFD1000
Primary Flight Display systems installed on various airplanes. This AD
imposes operating restrictions on these display systems by revising the
Limitations section of the airplane flight manual (AFM). This AD was
prompted by an automatic reset occurring when the display internal
monitor detects a potential fault, causing intermittent loss of
airspeed, attitude, and altitude information during flight. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 17, 2020.
The FAA must receive comments on this AD by September 14, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

On February 25, 2020, Aspen Avionics, Inc. (Aspen), notified the
FAA of 35 instances of software interacting with a graphics processing
chip defect and causing an automatic reset to occur on Aspen EFD1000
Emergency Backup Display, EFD1000 Multi-Function Display, and EFD1000
Primary Flight Display systems. The reset occurs when the display
internal monitor detects a potential fault. The display will go black
and then it will restart, which lasts about 50 seconds. In
installations where multiple Aspen EFDs serve as the primary and backup
attitude, altitude, and airspeed displays instead of independent
instruments; this repeat resetting may affect both Aspen units,
resulting in loss of all attitude, altitude, and airspeed information
during the reset period. Loss of all airspeed, attitude, and altitude
information during flight may cause a loss of control of the airplane
in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or at night. The actions
required by this AD will restrict operations to flight under visual
flight rules (VFR) and prohibit night operations to allow safe
operation in the event of a loss of flight display functionality.

Related Service Information

The FAA reviewed Aspen Operator Advisory OA2020-01, dated March 3,
2020. This document advises operators of the automatic reset event and
provides recommended operating limitations.
The FAA also reviewed Aspen Service Bulletin Number: SB2020-01,
dated April 1, 2020. This document provides instructions for updating
the EFD software to correct the automatic reset issue. This AD does not
apply to airplanes that are compliant with this service information.

FAA's Determination

The FAA is issuing this AD because it 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 revising the AFM limitations section to add
language restricting operations to Day VFR only, either by making a pen
and ink change or by inserting a copy of this AD.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date


An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because intermittent loss of attitude, altitude, and airspeed
information during flight could result in loss of control of the
airplane in IMC or at night. The required corrective actions must be
accomplished before further flight, which does not allow the time
necessary for the public to comment and for publication of the final
rule. Therefore, the FAA finds good cause that notice and opportunity
for prior public comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reason
stated above, the FAA finds 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 final rule. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include the Docket Number FAA-2020-
0723 and Product Identifier MCAI-2020-00586-Q at the beginning of your
comments.
Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments we receive, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact we receive about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Mahmood
Shah, Aerospace Engineer, Fort Worth ACO Branch, FAA, 10101 Hillwood
Pkwy, Fort Worth, TX 76177. Any commentary that the FAA receives which
is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public
docket for this rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

The FAA estimates that this AD affects 900 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

Estimated Costs

Action
Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per product
Cost on U.S. operators
Revise Flight Manual 0.25 work-hour x $85.00 per hour = $21.25
$0.00
$21.25
$19,125.00

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.
The FAA is 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 Flexibility Act

The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment,
RFA analysis is not required.

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, and
(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.
