[Docket No. 95-ANE-32; Amendment 39-9420; AD 95-22-12]


Airworthiness Directives; Hamilton Standard 14RF, 247F, 14SF, and 
6/5500/F Series Propellers

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive 
(AD), applicable to Hamilton Standard 14RF, 247F, 14SF, and 6/5500/F 
(formerly Hamilton Standard/British Aerospace 6/5500/F) series 
propellers, that currently requires initial and repetitive inspections 
of the propeller control unit (PCU) servo ballscrew internal spline 
(BIS) teeth for wear, and replacement, if necessary, of PCU servo BIS 
assemblies. This amendment increases the repetitive PCU servo BIS teeth 
inspection interval from 1,500 to 2,500 hours time in service (TIS) for 
propellers that have a ballscrew quill damper installed. In addition, 
the FAA has reevaluated the optional installation of the Secondary 
Drive Quill (SDQ), and has added a new compliance end-date of June 30, 
1998, for the installation of the SDQ. This AD will also require 
initial and repetitive torque check inspections of the primary 
ballscrew quill once the SDQ is installed. This amendment is prompted 
by field service and laboratory test data that indicate that the 
repetitive inspection interval can be safely increased, and by the 
development and availability of the SDQ. The actions specified by this 
AD are intended to prevent inability to control the propeller 

[[Page 56225]]
blade angle due to tooth wear in the PCU servo BIS assembly.

DATES: Effective November 24, 1995 as to all compliance paragraphs 
except paragraph (b) of this AD.
    Effective May 6, 1996 as to compliance paragraph (b) of this AD.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in 
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as 
of November 24, 1995.
    Comments on the requirements of compliance paragraph (b) of this AD 
for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before January 
8, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in triplicate to the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA), New England Region, Office of the Assistant Chief 
Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket No. 95-ANE-32, 12 New England

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA recently issued a proposal to amend 
part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) by 
superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 94-22-12, Amendment 39-9062 
(59 FR 55199, November 4, 1994), which is applicable to Hamilton 
Standard 14RF, 247F, 14SF, and 6/5500/F (formerly Hamilton Standard/
British Aerospace 6/5500/F) series propellers. This notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) was published in the Federal Register on June 6, 1995 
(60 FR 29797). That action proposed to require increasing the 
repetitive propeller control unit (PCU) servo ballscrew internal spline 
(BIS) teeth inspection interval from 1,500 to 2,500 hours time in 
service (TIS) for propellers that have a ballscrew quill damper 
installed. In addition, that action proposed to add an optional 
terminating action to the repetitive PCU servo BIS teeth inspections by 
installing a Secondary Drive Quill (SDQ). With the SDQ installed, that 
action proposed to require an initial torque check inspection of the 
primary ballscrew quill at 5,000 hours TIS since installation of the 
SDQ, and thereafter repetitive torque check inspections at intervals 
not to exceed 5,000 hours TIS since last inspection.
    Since issuance of the NPRM, the FAA has been advised by the 
manufacturer that the logistics (parts, special tools, personnel, shop 
capability, and aircraft availability), required for the installation 
of the SDQ for all operators can support installation by June 30, 1998. 
Based on this factor, the FAA has re-evaluated the installation of the 
SDQ as an optional requirement, and has changed the compliance section 
of the AD to provide a requirement that the SDQ must be installed by 
June 30, 1998. The FAA determined that publication of this compliance 
end-date in this rule, rather than in a separate rulemaking, will 
benefit those operators who may wish to install the SDQ at an earlier, 
more convenient maintenance opportunity than otherwise might have been 
the case without the notice of the compliance end-date. The FAA 
recognizes, however, that the compliance end-date is a new requirement, 
and, therefore, has provided for a comment period and a separate 
effective date for the compliance end-date provision of this AD. 
Installation of an SDQ will constitute terminating action for the 
initial and repetitive inspections required by paragraph (a) of this 
AD.
    The FAA did receive comments on the NPRM and addressees those 
comments in this rule.
    The actions would be required to be accomplished in accordance with 
the following Hamilton Standard Alert Service Bulletins (ASB's), all 
dated May 5, 1995: No. 14SF-61-A59, Revision 6; No. 14RF-9-61-A53, 
Revision 7; No. 14RF-19-61-A25, Revision 6; No. 14RF-21-61-A38, 
Revision 6; No. 247F-61-A3, Revision 5; and No. 6/5500/F-61-A11, 
Revision 6. These ASB's enable affected propellers with a ballscrew 
quill damper installed in production or in accordance with the 
following Hamilton Standard Service Bulletins (SB's), all dated 
September 27, 1994, to extend the repetitive PCU servo BIS teeth 
inspection interval from 1,500 to 2,500 hours TIS since last 
inspection: No. 14SF-61-67, Revision 2; No. 14RF-9-61-61, Revision 1; 
No. 14RF-19-61-29, Revision 2; No. 14RF-21-61-48, Revision 2; No. 247F-
61-6, Revision 2; and No. 6/5500/F-61-19, Revision 2.
    In addition, the FAA has reviewed and approved the technical 
contents of the following Hamilton Standard SB's, all Revision 2, all 
dated June 22, 1995: No. 14SF-61-82; No. 14RF-9-61-76; No. 14RF-19-61-
43; No. 14RF-21-61-62; No. 247F-61-13; and No. 6/5500/F-61-33. These 
SB's describe procedures for installing the SDQ.
    Also, the FAA has reviewed and approved the technical contents of 
the following Hamilton Standard SB's, all Revision 1, dated May 17, 
1995; No. 14SF-61-81; No. 14RF-9-61-75; No. 14RF-19-61-41; No. 14RF-21-
61-60; No. 247F-61-12; and No. 6/5500/F-61-32. These SB's describe 
procedures for initial and repetitive torque check inspections of the 
primary ballscrew quill if the SDQ is installed.
    Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate 
in the making of this amendment. Due consideration has been given to 
the comments received.
    One commenter (the manufacturer) states that due to an arithmetic 
error, the total cost impact of the current AD per year on US operators 
should be estimated to be $138,000, and therefore the approximate 
yearly savings to US operators would be $55,200 instead of $51,570, a 
6.7% increase in savings. The FAA concurs and has revised the economic 
analysis of this final rule accordingly.
    The manufacturer states that the number of work hours required for 
installation of the SDQ should be three, as stated in the SB's. The FAA 
concurs and has revised the economic analysis of this final rule 
accordingly.
    The manufacturer states that the number of work hours required for 
accomplishment of the torque check should be 0.25, assuming the spinner 
and transfer tube are removed, as stated in the SB's. The FAA concurs 
and has revised the economic analysis of this final rule accordingly.
    The manufacturer states the approximate yearly inspection cost 
should be $6 per propeller per year. The FAA concurs and has revised 
the economic analysis of this final rule accordingly.
    The manufacturer states that the correct SB number referenced in 
the compliance section should be 6/5500/F-61-32. The FAA concurs and 
has revised this final rule accordingly.
    One commenter presents comments similar to those previously 
submitted to the FAA concerning AD 92-22-12, which increased the BIS 
inspection interval from 500 to 1,500 hours TIS. The commenter states 
that the specific cause of wear has not been identified by the 
manufacturer and that the modifications proposed in the NPRM do not 
correct the inherent wear characteristics associated with BIS tooth 
wear. In addition, all causes for PCU wear should be positively 
identified 

[[Page 56226]]
before the inspection interval is increased.
    The FAA does not concur. The FAA has reviewed data from numerous 
tests and investigations and has determined the cause of extreme wear 
when it occurs on a very small number of splines in service. These 
tests and investigations have revealed that spline joint wear factors 
include:
    Magnitude and direction of vibratory environment.
    How well the spline joint is lubricated.
    Motion of elements within the joint due to stack up of clearances.
    Thickness of chrome plating on spline teeth.
    The FAA has therefore determined that there is no single factor for 
wear of this complex joint. However, the major contributors to these 
wear factors are lack of lubrication and axial motion. Laboratory tests 
and controlled field service data have proven the damper reduces all of 
these wear factors by over 20 times the rate that was experienced 
before the damper installation.
    The commenter also states that modifications to the PCU should be 
made so that wear-induced failure cannot cause catastrophic 
consequences. The FAA concurs and has determined that the addition of 
the primary quill damper reduces the probability of wear occurring. In 
addition, installation of the newly designed SDQ assembly hardware 
provides a redundant load path.
    The commenter also states that the field data used to justify the 
increased inspection interval is being collected from only a small 
percentage of units in operation. The FAA does not concur. The field 
data includes a small controlled in-service usage program in addition 
to many thousands of reports submitted to the FAA for each BIS 
inspection, as required by AD 94-22-12.
    This commenter also questions the criteria for determining the 
2,500 hours TIS inspection interval for the BIS. In addition, the 
commenter finds the 5,000 hours TIS torque check interval to be 
arbitrary and unfounded, and believes that the torque check should be 
conducted during routine maintenance actions. The FAA does not concur. 
The FAA has phased in the inspection intervals for the BIS with the 
damper installed by intervals of 500, 1,500, and 2,500 hours TIS based 
on field service reports of a controlled population, continued fleet-
wide reports of many thousands of inspections required by AD 94-22-12, 
and by certification test data that has revealed that installation of 
the ballscrew damper resulted in a spline life improvement factor of 20 
times the original 500 hours TIS inspection interval, thereby 
justifying by test data at least a 10,000 hours TIS inspection interval 
for the BIS with the damper installed.
    The FAA established torque check intervals for the SDQ based on 
test data on many test specimens for the equivalent of three times the 
proposed 5,000 hours TIS torque check interval. The interval of 5,000 
hours TIS also coincides with a number of other propeller maintenance 
activities occurring at that time. The FAA is not mandating the SDQ 
interval at earlier, opportune times coinciding with routine 
maintenance, but believes that operators may be able to take advantage 
of propeller disassembly and conduct the SDQ inspection at that time.
    The commenter also states that if the positive torque transmitting 
capability of the BIS fails and the SDQ becomes operational, the PCU 
has reverted to a single load path and the redundant feature is no 
longer available. The FAA concurs that reversion to a single load path 
would make use of the stated redundancy only after the primary path had 
failed. However, the torque check is designed to detect failure of the 
primary path and therefore provides a positive indication that the PCU 
is utilizing the secondary path and that replacement of the PCU is 
necessary.
    Several commenters state that the AD's required torque checks of 
the primary ballscrew after an SDQ is installed, in paragraph (d) of 
the AD, are repetitious of the same torque check requirements found in 
the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the Manufacturer's Maintenance 
Manual (MMM). The commenters suggest that the FAA should, therefore, 
delete paragraph (d) from the AD because it represents a check 
redundant to one already required. The FAA does not agree. While the 
FAA views as mandatory the inspections contained in the Airworthiness 
Section of the MMM, these particular inspections were not part of the 
MMM at the time of type certification. In order to insure that all 
operators have constructive notice of the inspections contained in 
paragraph (d) of the AD, the FAA has determined that it is necessary to 
publish those requirements in this AD. While changes to the 
Airworthiness Limitations Section of an MMM normally follow an AD 
making those changes, the fact that the MMM already contains the 
inspections of paragraph (d) does not obviate the need to include those 
requirements in an AD. The MMM, then, merely reflects the inspections 
not present at the time of type certification and later made mandatory 
by this AD. Operators do not, of course, have to perform two 
inspections; one inspection would satisfy both requirements. Therefore, 
the presence of the same inspection in an AD and in the MMM does not 
increase the maintenance burden on any operator.
    There are approximately 2,506 propellers of the affected design in 
the worldwide fleet. The FAA estimates that 1,150 propellers installed 
on aircraft of U.S. registry will be affected by this AD, that it will 
take approximately 1.5 work hours per propeller to accomplish the PCU 
servo BIS teeth inspections, and that the average labor rate is $60 per 
work hour. Based on these figures, and on the average utilization rate 
of 2,000 hours TIS per year equating to 1.33 inspections per year, the 
total cost impact of the current AD per year on U.S. operators is 
estimated to be $138,000. However, this superseding AD would require 
only 0.8 inspections per year, resulting in an approximate yearly 
inspection cost of $82,800, which would provide an approximate yearly 
savings to U.S. operators of $55,200.
    The terminating action will require 3 work hours to install the 
SDQ, and required parts will cost approximately $5,500 per propeller. 
With the SDQ installed, the AD will require initial and repetitive 
torque check inspections of the primary ballscrew quill. The torque 
check inspection will take 0.25 work hours to perform the required 
actions, and with an average utilization rate of 2,000 hours TIS per 
year equating to 0.4 inspections per year, resulting in an approximate 
yearly inspection cost of $6 per propeller.

Comments Invited

    Although this action is in the form of a final rule that involves 
requirements affecting flight safety, the requirement to install a 
Secondary Drive Quill (SDQ) was not preceded by notice and an 
opportunity for public comment, therefore, comments are specifically 
invited on the installation requirement described in compliance 
paragraph (b) of this AD. Interested persons are invited to comment on 
this requirement of this rule by submitting such written data, views, 
or arguments as they may desire. Communications should identify the 
Rules Docket number and be submitted in triplicate to the address 
specified under the caption ADDRESSEES. All communications received on 
or before the closing date for comments will be considered, and this 
rule may be amended in light of the comments received. Factual 
information that supports the commenter's ideas and suggestions is 
extremely helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of the AD 

[[Page 56227]]
action and determining whether additional rulemaking action would be 
needed.
    Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory, 
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that need to 
modify the rule. All comments submitted will be available, both before 
and after the closing date for comments, in the Rules Docket for 
examination by interested persons. A report that summarizes each FAA-
public contact concerned with the substance of this AD will be filed in 
the Rules Docket.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments 
submitted in response to this rule must submit a self-addressed, 
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments 
to Docket No. 95-ANE-34.'' The postcard will be date stamped and 
returned to the commenter.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this action (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. A final evaluation has been prepared for this action 
and it is contained in the Rules Docket. A copy of it may be obtained 
from the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the 
Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 USC 106(g), 40101, 40113, 44701.


Sec. 39.13  [Amended]

    2. Section 39.13 is amended by removing Amendment 39-9062 (59 FR 
55199, November 4, 1994, and by adding a new airworthiness directive, 
Amendment 39-9420, to read as follows:

95-22-12  Hamilton Standard: Amendment 39-9420. Docket 95-ANE-32. 
Supersedes AD 94-22-12, Amendment 39-9062.

    Applicability: Hamilton Standard Models 14RF-9, 14RF-19, 14RF-
21, and 14RF-23; 247F-1; 14SF-5, 14SF-7, 14SF-11, 14SFL11, 14SF-15, 
14SF-17, 14SF-19, 14SF-23; and 6/5500/F propellers installed on but 
not limited to Embraer EMB-120 and EMB-120RT; SAAB-SCANIA SF340B; 
Aerospatiale ATR42-100, ATR42-300, ATR42-320, ATR72, ATR72-210;

British Aerospace ATP airplanes.

    Note: This airworthiness directive (AD) applies to each 
propeller identified in the preceding applicability provision, 
regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in 
the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For propellers that 
have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of 
the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must use 
the authority provided in paragraph (e) to request approval from the 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This approval may address 
either no action, if the current configuration eliminates the unsafe 
condition, or different actions necessary to address the unsafe 
condition described in this AD. Such a request should include an 
assessment of the effect of the changed configuration on the unsafe 
condition addressed by this AD. In no case does the presence of any 
modification, alteration, or repair remove any propeller from the 
applicability of this AD.

    Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished 
previously.
    To prevent the inability to control the propeller blade angle 
due to tooth wear in the propeller control unit (PCU) servo 
ballscrew internal spline (BIS) assembly, accomplish the following:

    (e) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the 
compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be 
used if approved by the Manager, Boston Aircraft Certification 
Office. The request should be forwarded through an appropriate FAA 
Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send 
it to the Manager, Boston Aircraft Certification Office.

    Note: Information concerning the existence of approved 
alternative method of compliance with this AD, if any, may be 
obtained from the Boston Aircraft Certification Office.

    (f) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with 
sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the aircraft to a location where 
the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.
    (g) The actions required by this AD shall be done in accordance 
with the following Hamilton Standard service documents:
