Federal Register Abstract
We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Revo, Incorporated Models COLONIAL C-1, COLONIAL C-2, LAKE LA-4, LAKE LA-4A, LAKE LA-4P, and LAKE LA-4-200 airplanes. That AD currently requires a one-time, dye-penetrant inspection of the horizontal stabilizer attachment fitting and repetitive visual inspections of the fitting for any evidence of fretting, cracking, or corrosion (with necessary replacement and modification); replacement of the fitting upon reaching the 850-hours time-in-service (TIS) safe life; and reporting to the FAA the results of the initial inspection and any cracks found on repetitive inspections. This new AD requires the same actions of AD 2005-12-02 except using revised service documents and procedures, adds Model COLONIAL C-1 airplanes to the Applicability, and adds an optional terminating action for the requirements. This AD was prompted by a report from Revo, Incorporated that, while the drawing numbers are different, the attachment fittings on the Model COLONIAL C-1 airplanes are identical in every other respect to those installed on the airplanes referenced in AD 2005-12- 02. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Revo, Incorporated Models COLONIAL C-1, COLONIAL C-2, LAKE
LA-4, LAKE LA-4A, LAKE LA-4P, and LAKE LA-4-200 airplanes. That AD
currently requires a one-time, dye-penetrant inspection of the
horizontal stabilizer attachment fitting and repetitive visual
inspections of the fitting for any evidence of fretting, cracking, or
corrosion (with necessary replacement and modification); replacement of
the fitting upon reaching the 850-hours time-in-service (TIS) safe
life; and reporting to the FAA the results of the initial inspection
and any cracks found on repetitive inspections. This new AD requires
the same actions of AD 2005-12-02 except using revised service
documents and procedures, adds Model COLONIAL C-1 airplanes to the
Applicability, and adds an optional terminating action for the
requirements. This AD was prompted by a report from Revo, Incorporated
that, while the drawing numbers are different, the attachment fittings
on the Model COLONIAL C-1 airplanes are identical in every other
respect to those installed on the airplanes referenced in AD 2005-12-
02. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these
products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2005-12-02, amendment 39-14118 (70 FR 33820,
June 10, 2005). That AD applies to the specified products. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on August 16, 2012 (77 FR 49389).
That NPRM proposed to require the same actions of AD 2005-12-02, add
Model COLONIAL C-1 airplanes to the Applicability, and add an optional
terminating action for the requirements.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (77 FR 49389, August 16,
2012) or on the determination of the cost to the public.
We did notice that the date for XLS Company's instructions for
continued airworthiness was incorrect. We also identified the need to
clarify giving credit for work done following previous service
documents and procedures so the actions would not be unnecessarily
duplicated.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for a
typographical error in the date for XLS Company's instructions for
continued airworthiness, clarification of credit allowed for work done
following previous service documents and procedures, and minor
editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (August 16, 2012, 77 FR 49389) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already
[[Page 27006]]
proposed in the NPRM (August 16, 2012, 77 FR 49389).
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 253 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspect the horizontal 24 work-hours x Not Applicable.............. $2,040 $516,120

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacement
that will be required based on the results of the inspection. We have
no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these
replacements:
On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace the horizontal stabilizer attachment 24 work-hours x $85 per hour = $761 $2,801

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Paperwork Reduction Act Burden Statement
A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public
reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be
approximately 5 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, completing and reviewing the collection of information.
All responses to this collection of information are mandatory. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the
burden should be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave. SW.,
Washington, DC 20591, Attn: Information Collection Clearance Officer,
AES-200.

(h) Dye Penetrant Inspection on the Horizontal Stabilizer Attachment
Fitting
(1) For airplanes with less than 825 hours time-in-service (TIS)
on any horizontal stabilizer attachment fitting: Remove the
horizontal stabilizer attachment (P/N 1-2200-14, 2200-14, or 2-2200-
21) from the airplane and do a one-time dye-penetrant inspection for
cracks, fretting, or corrosion using the applicable compliance times
and service information stated below.
(i) For COLONIAL C-2, LAKE LA-4, LAKE LA-4A, LAKE LA-4P, and
LAKE LA-4-200 airplanes: Within the next 25 hours TIS after July 8,
2005 (the effective date of AD 2005-12-02 (70 FR 33820, June 10,
2005)). Follow Revo Inc. Service Bulletin B-78 R3, Revision 3, dated
January 10, 2012; Revo Inc. Service Bulletin B-78 R2, Revision 2,
dated October 26, 2011; Revo Inc. Service Bulletin B-78 R1, Revision

and is retained in this AD).
(ii) For COLONIAL C-1 airplanes: Within the next 25 hours TIS
after June 13, 2013 (the effective date of this AD). Follow Revo
Inc. Service Bulletin B-78 R3, Revision 3, dated January 10, 2012.
(2) If cracks, fretting, or corrosion is found during the
inspection required in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD, before further
flight, replace the horizontal stabilizer attachment with an
airworthy P/N 2-2200-21, P/N 1-2200-14, or 2200-14 following Revo
Inc. Service Bulletin B-78 R3, Revision 3, dated January 10, 2012.
After replacement with an airworthy part, the repetitive inspections
specified in paragraph (i) of this AD and the repetitive
replacements specified in paragraph (j) of this AD are still
required.
(3) For the purposes of this AD, an airworthy part is defined as
a new part or a used part that has less than 850 hours TIS and has
been inspected following paragraph (h)(1) of this AD and found free
of cracks, fretting, or corrosion before installation.
(i) Repetitive Inspections of the Horizontal Stabilizer Attachment
Fitting
(1) Within 50 hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs first,
after the dye-penetrant inspection required in paragraph (h)(1) of
this AD or after replacement of the fitting required in paragraphs
(h)(2), (i)(2), or (j) of this AD and repetitively thereafter at
intervals not to exceed 50 hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs
first, visually inspect the horizontal stabilizer attachment fitting
using the following procedures:
(i) Move the elevator as required to see the fitting, ensuring
that the aft face of the fitting is visible.
(ii) Clean the fitting. Pay special attention to the radius
edges of the fitting just outboard of the fitting ear.
(iii) Visually inspect the fitting for cracks using a flashlight
(a small magnifying glass or borescope is recommended). Pay special
attention again to the radius edges just outboard of the fitting
ear. Also, inspect as far forward on the edge that is possible
because some cracks progress along the forward face of the fitting
that is mostly hidden by the horizontal stabilizer rear beam.
(iv) Reference the sketch on page 1 of Revo Inc. Service
Bulletin B-78 R3, Revision 3, dated January 10, 2012, to see where
the crack is likely to begin.
(2) If any cracks are found during any of the inspections
required in paragraph (i) of this AD, before further flight, replace
the fitting with an airworthy part following Revo Inc. Service
Bulletin B-78 R3, Revision 3, dated January 10, 2012.
(3) For the purposes of this AD, an airworthy part is defined as
a new part or a used part that has less than 850 hours TIS and has
been inspected following paragraph (h)(1) of this AD and found free
of cracks, fretting, or corrosion before installation.
(j) Replace the Horizontal Stabilizer Attachment Fitting
(1) For COLONIAL C-2, LAKE LA-4, LAKE LA-4A, LAKE LA-4P, and
LAKE LA-4-200 airplanes: Before or when the horizontal stabilizer
attachment fitting accumulates 850 hours TIS or within 25 hours TIS
after July 8, 2005 (the effective date of AD 2005-12-02 (70 FR
33820, June 10, 2005)), whichever occurs later, and repetitively
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 850 hours TIS replace the
horizontal stabilizer attachment fitting P/N 1-2200-14, 2200-14, or
2-2200-21 with an airworthy part. Follow Revo Inc. Service Bulletin
