14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0723; Project Identifier AD-2020-00586-Q; 
Amendment 39-21192; AD 2020-16-08]
RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; Aspen Avionics, Inc.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that 
published in the Federal Register. The AD applies to certain Aspen 
Avionics, Inc., Evolution Flight Display (EFD) EFD1000 Emergency Backup 
Display, EFD1000 Multi-Function Display, and EFD1000 Primary Flight 
Display systems installed on various airplanes. As published, the 
docket number and product identifier in the Comments Invited section of 
the preamble are incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all 
other respects, the original document remains the same; however, for 
clarity, the FAA is publishing the entire rule in the Federal Register.

DATES: This correction is effective August 17, 2020. The effective date 
of AD 2020-16-08 remains August 17, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax: 202-493-2251.

0723; or in person at Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., 
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains 
this final rule, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and 
other information. The street address for the Docket Operations is 
listed above. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after 
receipt.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mahmood Shah, Aerospace Engineer, Fort 
Worth ACO Branch, FAA, 10101 Hillwood Pkwy., Fort Worth, TX 76177; 
phone: 817-222-5133; fax: 817-222-5960; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As published, AD 2020-16-08, Amendment 39-
21192 (85 FR 45990, July 31, 2020) (``AD 2020-16-08''), applies to 
certain Aspen Avionics, Inc., EFD1000 Emergency Backup Display, EFD1000 
Multi-Function Display, and EFD1000 Primary Flight Display systems 
installed on various airplanes. AD 2020-16-08 imposes operating 
restrictions to flight under visual flight rules (VFR) and prohibits 
night operations to allow safe operation in the event of a loss of 
flight display functionality.

Need for the Correction

    As published, the docket number and product identifier in the first 
paragraph of the Comments Invited section of the preamble are 
incorrect. The paragraph incorrectly references Docket Number ``FAA-
2020-0711'' and Product Identifier ``MCAI-2020-00719-A,'' instead of 
Docket No. FAA-2020-0723 and Product Identifier AD-2020-00586-Q.
    Although no other part of the preamble or regulatory information 
has been corrected, for clarity, the FAA is publishing the entire rule 
in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains August 17, 2020.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Aspen Operator Advisory OA2020-01, dated March 3, 
2020. This document advises operators of the automatic reset event and 
provides recommended operating limitations.
    The FAA also reviewed Aspen Service Bulletin Number: SB2020-01, 
dated April 1, 2020. This document provides instructions for updating 
the EFD software to correct the automatic reset issue. This AD does not 
apply to airplanes that are compliant with this service information.

Good Cause for Adoption Without Prior Notice

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and 
comment procedures for rules when the agency for ``good cause'' finds 
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to 
the public interest.'' Section 553(d)(3) of the APA requires that 
agencies publish a rule not less than 30 days before its effective 
date, except as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found 
and published with the rule.
    Since this action only corrects the docket number and product 
identifier in the preamble, the FAA finds that notice and public 
comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. For the same reason, the 
FAA finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this 
rule effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight 
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public 
comment. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or 
arguments about this final rule. Send your comments to an address 
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include the Docket Number FAA-2020-
0723 and Product Identifier AD-2020-00586-Q at the beginning of your 
comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in 
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR 
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to 
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you 
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive 
verbal contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily 
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public 
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial 
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that 
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to 
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted 
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing 
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as 
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public 
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Mahmood 
Shah, Aerospace Engineer, Fort Worth ACO Branch, FAA, 10101 Hillwood 
Pkwy., Fort Worth, TX 76177. Any commentary that the FAA receives which 
is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public 
docket for this rulemaking.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association 
(ATA) of America Code 3410, FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT DATA; 3420, ATTITUDE 
AND DIRECTION DATA SYSTEM.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by an automatic reset occurring when the 
display internal monitor detects a potential fault causing 
intermittent loss of airspeed, attitude, and altitude information 
during flight. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the software 
interacting with a graphics processing chip defect. The unsafe 
condition, if not addressed, could result in intermittent loss of 
airspeed, attitude, and altitude information during flight with 
consequent loss of airplane control.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 
unless already done.

(g) Required Actions

    (1) Before further flight, revise the limitations section of the 
airplane flight manual (AFM) for your airplane by inserting a copy 
of this AD or by making a pen and ink change to add: ``Operation 
under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) or night Visual Flight Rules 
(VFR) is prohibited.''
    (2) The action required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD may be 
performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a private 
pilot certificate and must be entered into the aircraft records 
showing compliance with this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9(a)(1) 
through (4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be 
maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417. This authority is not 
applicable to aircraft being operated under 14 CFR part 119.

(h) Special Flight Permit

    Special flight permits are prohibited.

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Fort Worth ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority 
to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures 
found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your 
request to your principal inspector or local Flight Standards 
District Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to 
the manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of 
the person identified in paragraph (j).
    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate 
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager 
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding 
district office.
