Airworthiness Directives; Teledyne Continental Motors GTSIO-520
Series Reciprocating Engines
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) for Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) GTSIO-520 series
reciprocating engines. That AD currently requires initial and
repetitive visual inspections of the starter adapter assembly and
crankshaft gear and unscheduled visual inspections of the starter
adapter assembly and crankshaft gear due to a rough-running engine.
That AD also requires replacement of the starter adapter shaft gear
needle bearing with a certain bushing and installation of a certain TCM
service kit at the next engine overhaul, or at the next starter adapter
replacement, whichever occurs first. This AD requires performing the
inspection ordered in paragraph (h) of this AD every 100 hours time-in-
service (TIS), or annually. This proposed AD results from an error
discovered in AD 2005-20-04. We are issuing this AD to failure of the
starter adapter assembly and or crankshaft gear, resulting in failure
of the engine and possible forced landing.
DATES: This AD becomes effective April 16, 2007. The Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulations as of April 16, 2007.
ADDRESSES: You can get the service information identified in this AD
from Teledyne Continental Motors, Inc., PO Box 90, Mobile, AL 36601;
telephone (251) 438-3411.
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov
or in Room PL-401 on the plaza level of the Nassif Building, 400
Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Robinette, Senior Engineer,
Propulsion, Atlanta Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, Small Airplane
Directorate, One Crown Center, 1895 Phoenix Blvd., Suite 450, Atlanta,
GA 30349; telephone: (770) 703-6096, fax: (770) 703-6097.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39
with a proposed AD. The proposed AD applies to TCM GTSIO-520 series
reciprocating engines. We published the proposed AD in the Federal
Register on October 26, 2006, (71 FR 62570). That action proposed to
require performing the inspection ordered in paragraph (h) of AD 2005-
20-04 every 100 hours time-in-service (TIS), or annually to correct an
error that required the inspection at every 100-hour inspection.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the docket that contains the AD, any comments
received, and any final disposition in person at the Docket Management
Facility Docket Office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone (800)
647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Department of
Transportation Nassif Building at the street address stated in
ADDRESSES. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after
the DMS receives them.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comment[s] received.
Remove the Requirement for a Placard
Two commenters propose dropping the placard from the requirements
of the proposed AD. The commenters do not believe the placard is
necessary. We agree. It appears the commenters are basing their comment
on the original notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that we issued on
April 6, 2005, not the current NPRM. We received comments to the
original NPRM similar to these comments and removed the requirement to
add a placard before we issued AD 2005-20-05. We didn't change this AD.
Request to Change the Required Inspection
The same two commenters request we mandate a more detailed
inspection for the components. The commenters state that a visual
inspection might not be sufficient. We don't agree. The commenters
didn't specify any additional inspections. We consider a visual
inspection the best method to detect abnormal surface wear. We don't
have any requirement for nondestructive testing because we have no
indication of subsurface deterioration. We didn't change the AD.
Request To Perform Additional Economic Assessment
One commenter asks us to perform additional economic assessment.
The commenter states we didn't consider the economic effects on other
small entities. We don't agree. We used our current procedures to
consider the economic effects of this action. We didn't change the AD.
Editorial Changes To Improve Clarity and Correct an Omission
We changed paragraph (f) of this AD from ``If, during an inspection
* * * crankcase, replace it with a serviceable bushing before
reassembling components'' to ``(f) If, during an inspection required by
paragraph (g), (h), (i), or (j) of this AD, you find needle bearing,
part number (P/N) 537721, installed in the crankcase, replace it with a
serviceable bushing, P/N 654472 or equivalent FAA approved bearing,
before reassembling components'' to clarify the intent of that
requirement.
We also added paragraph (h)(3) to make the compliance times in that
requirement consistent with paragraph (i)(3).
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comments received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously.
We have determined that these changes will neither increase the
economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 4,240 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about
one work-hour per engine to perform the inspection, about one work-hour
per engine to perform the proposed bushing installation and about six
work-hours per engine to install the TCM service kit. The average labor
rate is $80 per work-hour. We estimate that about 25 percent of the
engines will require an unscheduled (rough-running engine) inspection
and about half of the engines will require the bushing and TCM service
kit. Required bushings would cost about $16 per engine and service kits
about $800 per engine. Based on these figures, we
[[Page 10919]]
estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be $6,393,432.
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); 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 AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) for Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) GTSIO-520 series
reciprocating engines. That AD currently requires initial and
repetitive visual inspections of the starter adapter assembly and
crankshaft gear and unscheduled visual inspections of the starter
adapter assembly and crankshaft gear due to a rough-running engine.
That AD also requires replacement of the starter adapter shaft gear
needle bearing with a certain bushing and installation of a certain TCM
service kit at the next engine overhaul, or at the next starter adapter
replacement, whichever occurs first. This AD requires performing the
inspection ordered in paragraph (h) of this AD every 100 hours time-in-
service (TIS), or annually. This proposed AD results from an error
discovered in AD 2005-20-04. We are issuing this AD to failure of the
starter adapter assembly and or crankshaft gear, resulting in failure
of the engine and possible forced landing.
DATES: This AD becomes effective April 16, 2007. The Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulations as of April 16, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39
with a proposed AD. The proposed AD applies to TCM GTSIO-520 series
reciprocating engines. We published the proposed AD in the Federal
Register on October 26, 2006, (71 FR 62570). That action proposed to
require performing the inspection ordered in paragraph (h) of AD 2005-
20-04 every 100 hours time-in-service (TIS), or annually to correct an
error that required the inspection at every 100-hour inspection.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the docket that contains the AD, any comments
received, and any final disposition in person at the Docket Management
Facility Docket Office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone (800)
647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Department of
Transportation Nassif Building at the street address stated in
ADDRESSES. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after
the DMS receives them.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comment[s] received.
Remove the Requirement for a Placard
Two commenters propose dropping the placard from the requirements
of the proposed AD. The commenters do not believe the placard is
necessary. We agree. It appears the commenters are basing their comment
on the original notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that we issued on
April 6, 2005, not the current NPRM. We received comments to the
original NPRM similar to these comments and removed the requirement to
add a placard before we issued AD 2005-20-05. We didn't change this AD.
Request to Change the Required Inspection
The same two commenters request we mandate a more detailed
inspection for the components. The commenters state that a visual
inspection might not be sufficient. We don't agree. The commenters
didn't specify any additional inspections. We consider a visual
inspection the best method to detect abnormal surface wear. We don't
have any requirement for nondestructive testing because we have no
indication of subsurface deterioration. We didn't change the AD.
Request To Perform Additional Economic Assessment
One commenter asks us to perform additional economic assessment.
The commenter states we didn't consider the economic effects on other
small entities. We don't agree. We used our current procedures to
consider the economic effects of this action. We didn't change the AD.
Editorial Changes To Improve Clarity and Correct an Omission
We changed paragraph (f) of this AD from ``If, during an inspection
* * * crankcase, replace it with a serviceable bushing before
reassembling components'' to ``(f) If, during an inspection required by
paragraph (g), (h), (i), or (j) of this AD, you find needle bearing,
part number (P/N) 537721, installed in the crankcase, replace it with a
serviceable bushing, P/N 654472 or equivalent FAA approved bearing,
before reassembling components'' to clarify the intent of that
requirement.
We also added paragraph (h)(3) to make the compliance times in that
requirement consistent with paragraph (i)(3).
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comments received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously.
We have determined that these changes will neither increase the
economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 4,240 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about
one work-hour per engine to perform the inspection, about one work-hour
per engine to perform the proposed bushing installation and about six
work-hours per engine to install the TCM service kit. The average labor
rate is $80 per work-hour. We estimate that about 25 percent of the
engines will require an unscheduled (rough-running engine) inspection
and about half of the engines will require the bushing and TCM service
kit. Required bushings would cost about $16 per engine and service kits
about $800 per engine. Based on these figures, we
[[Page 10919]]
estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be $6,393,432.
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); 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 AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.
