Airworthiness Directives; Avions Pierre Robin Model R2160
Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action confirms the effective date of Airworthiness
Directive (AD) 99-02-15, which applies to certain Avions Pierre Robin
Model R2160 airplanes. AD 99-02-15 requires repetitively inspecting the
engine bearer for cracks, and replacing the engine bearer with a
reinforced part either immediately or at a certain time period
depending on whether cracks are found during the inspections. Replacing
the engine bearer with a reinforced part terminates the repetitive
inspection requirement. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority
for France. The actions specified in this AD are intended to detect and
correct cracks in the engine bearer, which could result in the engine
separating from the airplane.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 29, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Karl M. Schletzbaum, Aerospace
Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 1201 Walnut, suite 900,
Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone: (816) 426-6932; facsimile:
(816) 426-2169.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule
with request for comments in the Federal Register on January 26, 1999
(64 FR 3817). The FAA uses the direct final rulemaking procedure for a
non-controversial rule where the FAA anticipates that there will be no
adverse public comment. This direct final rule advised the public that
no adverse comments were anticipated, and that unless a written adverse
comment, or a written notice of intent to submit such an adverse
comment, was received within the comment period, the regulation would
become effective on March 29, 1999. No adverse comments were received,
and thus this notice confirms that this final rule will become
effective on that date.
Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on March 11, 1999.

Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification
Service.

This packet is not an airworthiness determination and not legal or maintenance advice. AircraftDirectives reproduces official records and condenses their wording for easier reading. It does not decide, certify or imply whether any aircraft, engine, appliance or part is airworthy, compliant, affected by this directive, or eligible for return to service. No inspection, approval, or determination of any kind is performed or implied by this document.
Section 1 is a reading aid, not the rule. It is our own plain-language condensation, written to help a reader find the relevant directive quickly. It is NOT a substitute for the regulation, it may omit conditions, exceptions, compliance times, alternative methods of compliance (AMOCs) and applicability limits, and it has no legal force whatsoever. Only the official text governs. Where Section 1 and Section 2 differ in any respect, Section 2 - and the official source it was retrieved from - controls absolutely.
Responsibility remains with the owner/operator. Under 14 CFR §91.403 and §91.417 the owner or operator is responsible for maintaining airworthiness and for required records; under §39.7 no person may operate a product to which an airworthiness directive applies except in accordance with that directive. Determining applicability to a specific serial number and configuration, and performing or supervising any required action, is the responsibility of the owner/operator and appropriately certificated personnel.
Accuracy and currency. Section 2 was retrieved at the time stamped above and is reproduced without edit; Federal Register material is a work of the United States Government. Directives are amended, corrected and superseded over time, and this sheet is a snapshot, not a live record - it does not update after printing. Re-check the official sources before acting on it. This packet is provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not sell parts and have no commercial interest in any action a directive may require.
