Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Models 208 and 208B Airplanes


AGENCY:
 
Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.


ACTION:
 
Final rule; correction.


–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––


SUMMARY:
 
This action makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 96-09-15 concerning


all Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 208 and 208B airplanes, which was published in the


Federal Register on May 7, 1996 (61 FR 20641). That publication incorrectly references a cue for the


pilot or crew member in severe icing conditions. The AD currently requires the pilot to follow certain


visual cues during flight in icing conditions and the third of these cues requires the pilot to look at the


engine propeller spinner. This cue is inappropriate for this type of airplane. The intent of the AD in


paragraph (a) (1), first bullet, third cue, should not be a requirement for the Cessna Models 208 and


208B. This action corrects the AD to reflect this change.


EFFECTIVE DATE:
 
June 11, 1996.


FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
 
Mr. John Dow, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small


Airplane Directorate, 1201 Walnut, suite 900, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone (816) 426-


6934; facsimile (816) 426-2169.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
 
On May 7, 1996, the Federal Aviation Administration


(FAA) issued AD 96-09-15, Amendment 39-9591 (61 FR 20641, May 7, 1996), which applies to all


Cessna Models 208 and 208B airplanes. This AD requires a revision in the Airplane Flight Manual


(AFM) by incorporating a warning into the Limitations Section of the AFM. Within this warning (in


the first bulleted paragraph) are cues for the pilot to follow during flight in severe icing conditions.


The third cue references accumulation of ice on the engine propeller spinner.


Need for the Correction


The AD incorrectly references the ''* * * engines propeller spinner * * *'' which is not


appropriate for the type design of these Cessna Models 208 and 208B airplanes. These airplanes are


single engine designs which would not allow the pilot to see the engine propeller spinner from the


cockpit.
Correction of Publication


Accordingly, the publication of May 7, 1996 (61 FR 20641), of Amendment 39-9591; AD 96-


09-15, which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-10729, is corrected as follows:


§39.13 [Corrected] -


On page 20642, in the third column, section 39.13, paragraph (a) (1), line 17 from the top of the


column, disregard and delete ''-Accumulation of ice on the engine propeller spinner * * *''.


Action is taken herein to clarify this requirement of AD 96-09-15 and to add this AD correction


to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.13).


The effective date remains June 11, 1996.


Issued in Kansas City, Missouri on June 10, 1996.


Henry A. Armstrong,


Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
