Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 0 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. Sec. 39.13 [Amended] 0 2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-15-06, Amendment 39-15618 (73 FR 43845, July 29, 2008), and adding the following new AD: 2016-14-05 Textron Aviation Inc.: Amendment 39-18586; Docket No. FAA-2016-5579; Directorate Identifier 2016-CE-010. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective August 11, 2016. (b) Affected ADs This AD replaces AD 2008-15-06, Amendment 39-15618 (73 FR 43845, July 29, 2008) (``AD 2008-15-06''). (c) Applicability This AD applies to the Textron Aviation Inc. airplane models and serial numbers (type certificate previously held by Cessna Aircraft Company) that are certificated in any category listed in Table 1 to paragraph (c) of this AD. The new airplane affected by this AD is model number 175A, serial number 619, manufactured in 1960.

(e)Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by the determination that one airplane needs to be added and another airplane needs to be removed from the Applicability section. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the engine mounting brackets, which could result in failure of the engine mounting bracket. This failure could lead to the engine detaching from the firewall. [[Page 44209]] (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Airplane Logbook Check (1) Check the airplane logbook to determine if all four of the original engine mounting brackets have been replaced. Do the logbook check at the following compliance time, as applicable. The owner/ operator holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 may do this action. (i) For airplanes previously affected by AD 2008-15-06: Within the next 30 days after September 2, 2008 (the effective date retained from AD 2008-15-06). (ii) For the new airplane affected by this AD: Within the next 30 days after August 11, 2016 (the effective date of this AD). (2) If you can positively determine that all four of the original engine mounting brackets have been replaced, no further action is required. Make an entry into the airplane logbook showing compliance with this portion of the AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9. The owner/operator holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 may do this action. (3) If you cannot positively determine that all four of the original engine mounting brackets have been replaced, inspect each of the upper and lower engine mounting brackets on both the left and right sides for cracks following Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB07-2, Revision 2, dated June 18, 2007. Do the inspections at the following compliance times, as applicable. (i) For airplanes previous affected by AD 2008-15-06: Initially inspect within the next 12 monthsafter September 2, 2008 (the effective date retained from AD 2008-15-06). If no cracks are found, repetitively inspect thereafter at intervals not to exceed 500 hours time-in-service (TIS) until all four of the original engine mounting brackets are replaced. (ii) For the new airplane affected by this AD: Initially inspect within the next 12 months after August 11, 2016 (the effective date of this AD). If no cracks are found, repetitively inspect thereafter at intervals not to exceed 500 hours TIS until all four of the original engine mounting brackets are replaced. (h) Engine Mounting Bracket Replacement If cracks are found in any of the engine mounting brackets during any inspection required in paragraph (g)(3) of this AD, including all subparagraphs, before further flight after the inspection in which cracks are found, replace the cracked engine mounting bracket(s) following Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB07-2, Revision 2, dated June 18, 2007. Replacing the cracked engine mounting bracket terminates the repetitive inspections required in paragraphs (g)(3)(i) and (ii) of this AD only for the replaced engine mounting bracket. (i) Terminating Action To terminate the repetitive inspections required in paragraphs (g)(3)(i) and (ii) of this AD, you may replace all four original engine mounting brackets following Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB07-2, Revision 2, dated June 18, 2007. (j) Engine Mounting Bracket Disposal For all airplanes affected by this AD: Before further flight after the engine mounting bracket is removed for replacement, dispose of every replaced bracket following 14 CFR 43.10, paragraph (c)(6), which states the following: ``Mutilation. The part may be mutilated to deter its installation in a type certificated product. The mutilation must render the part beyond repair and incapable of being reworked to appear to be airworthy.''
