Airworthiness Directives; PIAGGIO AERO INDUSTRIES S.p.A Airplanes


AGENCY:
 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT).


ACTION:
 
Final rule; rescission.


––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––


SUMMARY:
 
We are rescinding an airworthiness directive (AD) for PIAGGIO AERO


INDUSTRIES S.p.A. Model P-180 airplanes. The rescinded AD resulted from mandatory continuing


airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify


and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as


partial detachment of the inner protective film of the composite nacelles. Since issuance of the


rescinded AD, we have determined that the unsafe condition does not exist or is not likely to develop


on affected type design airplanes.


DATES:
 
This AD is effective September 19, 2013.


ADDRESSES:
 
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in


person at the Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,


except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this proposed AD, the regulatory evaluation, any


comments received, and other information. The street address for the Docket Office (telephone (800)


647-5527) is in the ADDRESSES section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


Discussion


We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by rescinding AD


99-07-10 (64 FR 14824, March 29, 1999) that applied to the specified products. The NPRM was


published in the Federal Register on May 30, 2013 (78 FR 32363).


On March 18, 1999, we issued AD 99-07-10, Amendment 39-11095 (64 FR 14824, March 29,


1999), with an effective date of May 10, 1999. The AD required actions intended to address an


unsafe condition on the products listed above.


Since we issued AD 99-07-10, Amendment 39-11095 (64 FR 14824, March 29, 1999), the


European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of


the European Community, has issued AD Cancellation Notice No.: 2013-0085-CN, dated April 8,


2013, which cancelled Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile (ENAC) (the airworthiness authority for


Italy) AD No. 98-208, dated June 9, 1998. Italian AD No. 98-208 required the inspections and


corrective actions of Piaggio Service Bulletin (Mandatory) No.: SB-80-0101, Original Issue: May 6,


1998. AD 99-07-10, Amendment 39-11095 (64 FR 14824, March 29, 1999), is the result of


mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by ENAC.


We have been notified that since 2000, all nacelles for PIAGGIO AERO INDUSTRIES S.p.A


Model P-180 airplanes have been manufactured by a different supplier, and no new occurrences of


film detachment have been reported on earlier manufactured airplanes. Therefore, nacelle inner panel


protective film detachment is no longer considered probable. Consequently, PIAGGIO AERO


INDUSTRIES S.p.A. issued Mandatory Service Bulletin No. SB 80-0101, Rev. N. ZZ, dated


February 19, 2013, to cancel the previous revision of this service bulletin.


Refer to MCAI European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD No.: AD Cancellation Notice


No.: 2013-0085-CN, dated April 8, 2013, and Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile (ENAC) AD No.


98-208, dated June 9, 1998, for related information; both may be found in the AD docket on the


Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. You may also refer to Piaggio Service Bulletin (Mandatory)


No.: SB 80 0101, Original Issue: May 6, 1998, for related information. For service information

Comments


We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no


comments on the NPRM (78 FR 32363, May 30, 2013).


Conclusion


We reviewed the relevant data and determined that rescinding the AD will not affect air safety


and will reduce the burden on the public. We will rescind the AD as proposed except for minor


editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:


•
 
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 32363, May 30, 2013)


for correcting the unsafe condition; and


•
 
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM


(78 FR 32363, May 30, 2013).
