This amendment is prompted by reports of plugged or taped drain valves as well as consequent corrosion of certain drain valves. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent erroneous altimeter and airspeed indications due to plugged or taped pitot/static and stall vent drain valves. ## The airworthiness directive ### 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: 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: 2. Section 39.13 is amended by adding the following new airworthiness directive: 2000-22-03 Raytheon Aircraft Co. (Formerly Beech): Amendment 39-11949. Docket 99-NM-376-AD. Applicability: Model DH.125, Model HS.125, Model BH.125, Model BAe.125, Model Hawker 800, Model Hawker 800XP, and Model Hawker 1000 series airplanes; as listed in Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3207, dated August 1999; excluding those airplanes on which all pitot/static drain vent valves have been modified with an insert in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Repair Design Office instructions; certificated in any category. Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been otherwise modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (f) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it. Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent erroneous altimeter and airspeed indications due to plugged or taped pitot/static and stall vent drain valves, accomplish the following: ### (a) Leak Tests (a) Within 300 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD: Drain the pitot/static and stall vent drain valves, and perform a leak test of the systems, in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3207, dated August 1999. If all drain valves are operating correctly and the leak test is passed successfully, thereafter, repeat the leak test at intervals not to exceed 300 hours time-in-service. ### (b) Drain Valves Operative, Leak Test Failed (b) If all drain valves are operative, but any valve does not pass the leak test required by paragraph (a) of this AD: Prior to further flight, accomplish the actions specified in paragraph (b)(1), (b)(2), or (b)(3) of this AD. (1) Apply a temporary seal of the drain valve(s) in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3223, dated August 1999. Within 300 hours time-in-service after the accomplishment of the temporary seal, accomplish the requirements of paragraph (b)(2) or (b)(3) of this AD. (2) Replace the drain valve components with new or serviceable drain valve components in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3207, dated August 1999, and perform the leak test specified in paragraph (a) of this AD. Thereafter, repeat the requirements of paragraph (a) of this AD at intervals not to exceed 300 hours time-in-service. (3) Modify the drain valves in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3282, dated August 1999. Thereafter, repeat the requirements of paragraph (a) of this AD at intervals not to exceed 300 hours time-in-service unless all the drain valves have been modified. Accomplishment of this modification on ALL drain valves constitutes terminating action for the requirement to perform repetitive leak tests. ### (c) Drain Valves Inoperative (c) If any drain valve is inoperative (e.g., plugged or taped), whether or not any leaking is detected: Prior to further flight, disassemble the valve and clean all obstructions in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3207, dated August 1999, and perform a general visual inspection for corrosion of the drain valve. Note 2: For the purposes of this AD, a general visual inspection is defined as: “A visual examination of an interior or exterior area, installation, or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure, or irregularity. This level of inspection is made under normally available lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or droplight, and may require removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands, ladders, or platforms may be required to gain proximity to the area being checked.” (d) If no corrosion of the drain valves is detected, prior to further flight, perform the actions specified in either paragraph (d)(1) or (d)(2) of this AD at the time specified. (1) Perform the leak test specified in paragraph (a) of this AD, and thereafter, repeat the leak test requirements at intervals not to exceed 300 hours time-in-service. (2) Prior to further flight, modify any inoperative valve in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3282, dated August 1999. Thereafter, repeat the leak test requirements of paragraph (a) of this AD at intervals not to exceed 300 hours time-in-service. Modification of ALL the drain valves constitutes terminating action for the requirement to perform repetitive leak tests. (e) If any drain valve is corroded, prior to further flight: Inspect the connecting tubing for corrosion and replace any corroded valve or tubing with a new or serviceable valve or tubing in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3207, dated August 1999. Accomplish the actions of paragraph (e)(1) or (e)(2) of the AD at the time specified. (1) Prior to further flight, perform the leak test specified in paragraph (a) of this AD, and thereafter, repeat the leak test requirements of paragraph (a) of this AD at intervals not to exceed 300 hours time-in-service. (2) Prior to further flight, modify any replaced drain valve in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3282, dated August 1999. Thereafter, repeat the leak test requirements of paragraph (a) of this AD at intervals not to exceed 300 hours time-in-service. Modification of ALL the drain valves constitutes terminating action for the requirement to perform repetitive leak tests. ### (f) Alternative Methods of Compliance (f) 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, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), ACE-116W, FAA. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Wichita ACO. Note 3: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Wichita ACO. ### (g) Special Flight Permit (g) 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 airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished. ### (h) Incorporation by Reference (h) The actions shall be done in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3207, dated August 1999; Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3223, dated August 1999; or Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 34-3282, dated August 1999; as applicable.

This information may be examined at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transport Airplane Directorate, Rules Docket, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington; or at the FAA, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Mid- Continent Airport, Wichita, Kansas; or at the Office of the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., suite 700, Washington, DC. ### For further information contact Paul DeVore, Aerospace Engineer, Systems and Propulsion Branch, ACE-116W, FAA, Wichita, Kansas 67209; telephone 316) 946-4142; fax (316) 946-4407. ### SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION A proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Raytheon Model DH.125, Model HS.125, Model BH.125, Model BAe.125 Series 800A, Model Hawker 800, Model Hawker 800XP, and Model Hawker 100 series airplanes was published in the Federal Register on June 19, 2000 (65 FR 37922). That action proposed to require leak checks and inspections for corrosion of the pitot/static and stall vent drain valves, and replacement of certain components, if necessary. ### Comments Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the making of this amendment. No comments were submitted in response to the proposal or the FAA's determination of the cost to the public. ### Conclusion The FAA has determined that air safety and the public interest require the adoption of the rule as proposed. ### Cost Impact There are approximately 900 airplanes of the affected design in the worldwide fleet. The FAA estimates that 585 airplanes of U.S. registry will be affected by this AD, that it will take approximately 4 work hours per airplane to accomplish the required actions, and that the average labor rate is $60 per work hour. Based on these figures, the cost impact of the AD on U.S. operators is estimated to be $140,400, or $240 per airplane. The cost impact figure discussed above is based on assumptions that no operator has yet accomplished any of the requirements of this AD action, and that no operator would accomplish those actions in the future if this AD were not adopted. The cost impact figures discussed in AD rulemaking actions represent only the time necessary to perform the specific actions actually required by the AD. These figures typically do not include incidental costs, such as the time required to gain access and close up, planning time, or time necessitated by other administrative actions. ### Regulatory Impact The regulations adopted herein will not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, it is determined that this final rule does not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. 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 ADDRESSES. ## Affected data sheets (1) (OpenAirDocs) The type certificate data sheets whose models the AD names. - [TCDS A3EU](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/A3EU): Textron Aviation Inc.; names 43 of 50 models: BAe.125 Series 1000A, HS.125 Series 3B/RB, HS.125 Series 401B, HS.125 Series 600A, HS.125 Series 600B/2, HS.125 Series 403A(C), HS.125 Series 600B/1, HS.125 Series 700A… ## Registered aircraft it may apply to (OpenAirDocs) Matched by airframe and engine model; the AD's applicability may narrow it by serial number, part number or equipment. - Aircraft: 426 (426 by airframe model, 0 by engine model) - Makers: Raytheon 255, British Aerospace 89, Raytheon Corporate Jets 52, Corporate Jets 17, Hawker Siddeley 11, Hawker Beechcraft 2 Models with the most aircraft: - [Raytheon HAWKER 800XP](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-hawker-800xp): 251 aircraft (airframe model) - [British Aerospace BAE 125 SERIES 800A](https://openairdocs.org/model/british-aerospace-bae-125-series-800a): 61 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raytheon Corporate Jets HAWKER 800XP](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-corporate-jets-hawker-800xp): 23 aircraft (airframe model) - [British Aerospace HS 125-700A](https://openairdocs.org/model/british-aerospace-hs-125-700a): 14 aircraft (airframe model) - [British Aerospace BAE 125 SERIES 1000A](https://openairdocs.org/model/british-aerospace-bae-125-series-1000a): 9 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raytheon Corporate Jets HAWKER 800](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-corporate-jets-hawker-800): 9 aircraft (airframe model) - [Corporate Jets BAE 125-1000A](https://openairdocs.org/model/corporate-jets-bae-125-1000a): 9 aircraft (airframe model) - [Corporate Jets BAE 125-800A](https://openairdocs.org/model/corporate-jets-bae-125-800a): 8 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raytheon Corporate Jets BAE 125-800A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-corporate-jets-bae-125-800a): 8 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raytheon Corporate Jets HAWKER 1000](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-corporate-jets-hawker-1000): 8 aircraft (airframe model) - [Hawker Siddeley HS.125 SERIES 700A](https://openairdocs.org/model/hawker-siddeley-hs-125-series-700a): 7 aircraft (airframe model) - [British Aerospace BAE 125-800A](https://openairdocs.org/model/british-aerospace-bae-125-800a): 5 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raytheon Corporate Jets BAE 125-1000A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-corporate-jets-bae-125-1000a): 4 aircraft (airframe model) - [Hawker Siddeley BH.125-400A](https://openairdocs.org/model/hawker-siddeley-bh-125-400a): 2 aircraft (airframe model) - [Hawker Siddeley DH.125-3A/RA](https://openairdocs.org/model/hawker-siddeley-dh-125-3a-ra): 2 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raytheon BAE 125-800A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-bae-125-800a): 2 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raytheon HAWKER 1000](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-hawker-1000): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Hawker Beechcraft HAWKER 800XP](https://openairdocs.org/model/hawker-beechcraft-hawker-800xp): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Hawker Beechcraft BAE 125-800B](https://openairdocs.org/model/hawker-beechcraft-bae-125-800b): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raytheon HS 125-700A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-hs-125-700a): 1 aircraft (airframe model) All 22 models: https://openairdocs.org/ad/2000-22-03/models.md Every aircraft: https://openairdocs.org/ad/2000-22-03/aircraft.md ## Related documents - [Proposed rule 99-NM-376-AD](https://openairdocs.org/proposed/99-NM-376-AD): Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), published Jun 19, 2000 Its text cites no advisory circulars or STCs. --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/).
