4764 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 19 / Thursday, January 29, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

2015–02–17 Airbus: Amendment 39–18084. 

Docket No. FAA–2015–0078; Directorate 

Identifier 2014–NM–235–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD becomes effective February 13, 

2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to the airplanes identified 

in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, 

certificated in any category, all manufacturer 

serial numbers. 

(1) Airbus Model A330–201, –202, –203, 

–223, –223F, –243, and –243F airplanes. 

(2) Airbus Model A330–301, –302, –303, 

–321, –322, –323, –341, –342, and –343 

airplanes. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 24, Electrical Power. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by an electrical 

load analysis that revealed that hydraulic 

power might not be sufficient to supply the 

constant speed motor/generator (CSM/G) 

during slat/flap extension when only one 

engine is running. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent such a condition which, in 

conjunction with the loss of the main 

electrical system, could lead to the scenario 

where the flightcrew is not clearly warned 

that the electrical system has switched on the 

battery and thus has a limited duration that 

would allow a safe landing. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Revise Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) 

Within 15 days after the effective date of 

this AD, revise the Emergency Procedures 

section of the Airbus A330 AFM to include 

the information in the applicable Airbus 

temporary revision (TR) specified in 

paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD. This may 

be done by inserting a copy of the applicable 

TR specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of 

this AD into the AFM. Operate the airplane 

according to the procedures in the applicable 

TR. When the information in the applicable 

TR has been included in the general revisions 

of the AFM, the general revisions may be 

inserted into the AFM, provided the relevant 

information in the general revision is 

identical to that in the TR, and the TR may 

be removed.

This AD requires the same actions but 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 19 / Thursday, January 29, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 4765 

expands the population of affected P/N 

and S/N clutch assemblies. This AD was 

prompted by an additional report of a 

clutch assembly that malfunctioned due 

to disk springs that received a 

nonconforming heat treatment process. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent 

failure of the clutch assembly, which 

could lead to failure of the engine, inflight shutdown, and loss of control of 

the airplane.

Discussion 

On August 16, 2010, we issued AD 

2010–18–02, Amendment 39–16415 (75 

FR 52240, August 25, 2010), (‘‘AD 2010– 

18–02’’), for certain Thielert Aircraft 

Engines GmbH (TAE) (previous 

certificate holder) models TAE 125–01 

and TAE 125–02–99 reciprocating 

engines. AD 2010–18–02 resulted from 

reports of engine in-flight shutdowns. 

Preliminary investigation showed that 

nonconforming disc springs used in a 

certain production batch of the clutch 

caused the shutdowns. AD 2010–18–02 

required replacement of certain clutch 

assemblies. 

On October 19, 2011, we superseded 

AD 2010–18–02, issuing AD 2011–23– 

01, Amendment 39–16852 (76 FR 

68636, November 7, 2011), for certain 

TAE models TAE 125–01 and TAE 125– 

02–99 reciprocating engines. AD 2011– 

23–01 required replacement of certain 

P/N and S/N clutch assemblies due to 

clutch failure. AD 2011–23–01 resulted 

from TAE identifying additional clutch 

assemblies with nonconforming disc 

springs. 

Actions Since AD 2011–23–01 Was 

Issued 

Since we issued AD 2011–23–01, 

Amendment 39–16852 (76 FR 68636, 

November 7, 2011), we received an 

additional report of a malfunctioning 

clutch assembly. Investigation found 

that the same unsafe condition exists on 

approximately 40 additional S/N clutch 

assemblies that have nonconforming 

disk springs. Those additional 

nonconforming disc springs are 

identified in TMG Service Bulletin No. 

TM TAE 125–0021, Revision 2, dated 

October 13, 2014. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of these same 

type designs. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires, for engines with 

affected clutch assemblies with more 

than 100 hours time since new (TSN), 

replacement of affected clutch 

assemblies before further flight. This AD 

also requires, for those engines with 

affected clutch assemblies that have 

accumulated less than 100 hours TSN, 

replacement of affected clutch 

assemblies before accumulating 100 

hours TSN. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because TMG identified additional 

clutch assemblies with nonconforming 

disc springs and the need for operators 

to comply with some of the AD actions 

before further flight. Therefore, we find 

that notice and opportunity for prior 

public comment are impracticable and 

that good cause exists for making this 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

about 111 engines installed on airplanes 

of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it 

will take about 16 hours per engine to 

perform the clutch assembly 

replacement. The average labor rate is 

$85 per hour. Required parts will cost 

about $1,796. Based on these figures, we 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
4766 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 19 / Thursday, January 29, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

estimate the cost of the AD on U.S. 

operators to be $350,316. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, 

‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD 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. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(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), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, and 

(4) 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Costruzioni 

Aeronautiche Tecnam srl Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl 

Model P2006T airplanes. This AD 

results from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as cracking found in the 

engine exhaust pipe. We are issuing this 

AD to require actions to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 5, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of March 5, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to add an AD that would apply 

to Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl 

Model P2006T airplanes. The NPRM 

was published in the Federal Register 

on October 29, 2014 (79 FR 64347). The 

NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products and 

was based on mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country. The MCAI states: 

During a pre-flight inspection of a P2006T 

aeroplane, which included the opening of 

engine nacelle, a crack was found on the 

engine exhaust pipe Part Number (P/N) 26– 

7–1800–1. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could lead to engine damage, 

possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane 

and injury to the occupants. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Costruzioni Aeronautiche TECNAM issued 

Service Bulletin (SB) SB 170–CS–Ed 1 Rev1. 

For the reason described above, this AD 

requires a one-time inspection of the affected 

engine exhaust pipes and, depending on 

findings, replacement. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at: http://

www.regulations.gov/

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

64347, October 29, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Relative Service Information 

We reviewed Costruzioni 

Aeronautiche TECNAM Service Bulletin 

No. SB 170–CS-Ed 1, Rev 1, dated 

September 25, 2014. The service 

bulletin describes procedures for 

inspecting and replacing (as necessary) 

the engine exhaust pipes. You can find 

this service information on the Internet 

at http://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2014–0876. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

10 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about .5 

work-hour per product to comply with 

the basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to 

be $425, or $42.50 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about .5 work-hour and require parts 

costing $343, for a cost of $385.50 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

A federal agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, nor shall a person be subject 

to penalty for failure to comply with a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act unless that collection of 

information displays a current valid 

OMB control number. The control 

number for the collection of information 

required by this AD is 2120–0056. The 

paperwork cost associated with this AD 

has been detailed in the Costs of 

Compliance section of this document 

and includes time for reviewing 

instructions, as well as completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

Therefore, all reporting associated with 

this AD is mandatory. Comments 

concerning the accuracy of this burden 

and suggestions for reducing the burden 

should be directed to the FAA at 800 

Independence Ave. SW., Washington, 

DC 20591. ATTN: Information
