ACTION: Final rule. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SUMMARY: The FAA is revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all AvCraft Dornier Model 328-100 airplanes. That AD currently requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with additional information regarding procedures to ensure complete pressurization of the hydraulic lines for the flaps. The existing AD also requires, for certain airplanes, modifying of the flap actuators of the flight controls. We issued that AD to prevent an uncommanded retraction of the flaps during takeoff, which could result in an aborted takeoff and consequent potential for runway overrun. This new AD allows the removal of the AFM revisions after modifying the flap actuators of the flight controls. This AD results from the determination that the AFM revisions are not necessary after modifying the flap actuators of the flight controls. We are issuing this AD to prevent an uncommanded retraction of the flaps during takeoff, which could result in an aborted takeoff and consequent potential for runway overrun. DATES: The effective date of this AD is January 8, 2001. On January 8, 2001 (65 FR 75601, December 4, 2000), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Dornier 328 All Operators Telefax AOT-328-27-016, Revision 1, dated October 28, 1998; and Dornier 328 Service Bulletin SB-328-27-293, dated November 10, 1999. On November 12, 1998 (63 FR 57244, October 27, 1998), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Dornier 328 All Operators Telefax AOT-328-27-016, dated July 31, 1998. ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov or in person at the Docket Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street SW., Nassif Building, room PL-401, Washington, DC. 2 Contact AvCraft Aerospace GmbH, P.O. Box 1103, D-82230 Wessling, Germany, for service information identified in this AD. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rosanne Ryburn, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056; telephone (425) 227-2139; fax (425) 227-1149. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Examining the Docket You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov or in person at the Docket Management Facility office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The Docket Management Facility office (telephone (800) 647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Nassif Building at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section. Discussion The FAA proposed to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) with an airworthiness directive (AD) to revise AD 2000-24-03, amendment 39-12010 (65 FR 75601, December 4, 2000). The existing AD applies to all Dornier Model 328-100 series airplanes. The proposed AD was published in the Federal Register on November 1, 2005 (70 FR 65864) to continue to require revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with additional information regarding procedures to ensure complete pressurization of the hydraulic lines for the flaps, and for certain airplanes, modifying the flap actuators of the flight controls. The proposed AD also proposed to allow the removal of the AFM revisions after modifying the flap actuators of the flight controls. Comments We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the development of this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed. Costs of Compliance We estimate that 52 airplanes of U.S. registry will be affected by this AD. The AFM revision that is currently required by AD 2000-24-03, and retained in this AD, takes approximately 1 work hour per airplane to accomplish, at an average labor rate of $65 per work hour. Based on these figures, the cost impact of the currently required AFM revision on U.S. operators is approximately $3,380, or $65 per airplane. The modification that is currently required by AD 2000-24-03, and retained in this AD, takes approximately 4 work hours per airplane to accomplish, at an average labor rate of $65 per work hour. Required parts will be provided by the manufacturer at no cost to the operators. Based on these figures, the cost impact of the currently required modification on U.S. operators is estimated to be $260 per airplane.
