AD: Linstrandt Propane Cylinders

AD NUMBER: 2018-17-11

PRODUCT: Certain Linstrandt T30 propane cylinders installed on hot air balloons.

ACTION: Final Rule, request for comments.

SUMMARY: This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product.

The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as welding defects on the propane cylinder that could result in leaking of liquid propane.

DATES: This AD is effective September 24, 2018. Comments must be received by October 19, 2018.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD will affect 10 propane cylinders. The cost of compliance is estimated as follows:

  • The FAA estimates that it would take about 2 work-hours to replace a cylinder, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour, and required parts would cost about $3,000 per product. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates a total cost of $3,170 per balloon.
