Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are revising an existing 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. 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: 

Since the issuance of AD 2007–0126 

Turbomeca has released modification TU157 

which consists in modifying the pressure 

relief valve of the HMU by introducing a 

damping device into the valve. Introduction 

of this device has demonstrated to decrease 

the pressure fluctuations in the system, 

therefore reducing significantly the risk of 

wear of the delta-P diaphragm fabric. This 

will delete the need for a periodical 

replacement of the delta-P diaphragm before 

overhaul of the HMU. The modification 

TU157 is therefore considered as the 

terminating action for this AD. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent the 

loss of automatic control mode coupled 

with the deteriorated performance of the 

backup mode, which can lead to the 

inability to continue safe flight, forced 

autorotation landing, or an accident. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 

7, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on March 22, 2010 (75 FR 

13451). That NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states that: 

Since the issuance of AD 2007–0126 

Turbomeca has released modification TU157 

which consists in modifying the pressure 

relief valve of the HMU by introducing a 

damping device into the valve. Introduction 

of this device has demonstrated to decrease 

the pressure fluctuations in the system, 

therefore reducing significantly the risk of 

wear of the delta-P diaphragm fabric. This 

will delete the need for a periodical 

replacement of the delta-P diaphragm before 

overhaul of the HMU. The modification 

TU157 is therefore considered as the 

terminating action for this AD. 

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. 

Mandatory Service Bulletin Reference 

Added 

Since we issued the proposed AD, 

Turbomeca issued Mandatory Service 

Bulletin (MSB) No. 292 73 2818, 

Version C, dated January 29, 2009. We 

added that reference to paragraph 

(e)(2)(iii) of the AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the change described previously.

30688 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

The MCAI applies to the ARRIEL 2B1 

and 2B1A engines. The ARRIEL 2B1A 

engine is not type certificated in the 

United States, so this AD applies to the 

ARRIEL 2B1 engine model only. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this AD will affect about 

103 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 0.75 

work-hour per product to comply with 

this AD. The average labor rate is $85 

per work-hour. Required parts will cost 

about $10,550 per product. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of the 

AD on U.S. operators to be $1,093,216. 

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 

We determined that 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 this AD: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains this AD, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (phone 

(800) 647–5527) is provided in the 

ADDRESSES section. Comments will be 

available in the AD docket shortly after 

receipt.

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 

removing amendment 39–15200 (72 FR 

53112, September 18, 2007), and adding 

the following new AD: 

2007–19–09R1 Turbomeca: Amendment 

39–16322. Docket No. FAA–2007–27009; 

Directorate Identifier 2007–NE–02–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective July 7, 2010. 

Affected ADs 

(b) This AD revises AD 2007–19–09, 

Amendment 39–15200. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Turbomeca ARRIEL 

2B1 turboshaft engines that don’t incorporate 

modification TU157. These engines are 

installed on, but not limited to, Eurocopter 

AS 350 B3 and EC 130 B4 helicopters. 

Reason 

(d) European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) AD No. 2009–0091, dated May 4, 

2009, states: 

Since the issuance of AD 2007–0126 

Turbomeca has released modification TU157 

which consists in modifying the pressure 

relief valve of the HMU by introducing a 

damping device into the valve. Introduction 

of this device has demonstrated to decrease 

the pressure fluctuations in the system, 

therefore reducing significantly the risk of 

wear of the delta-P diaphragm fabric. This 

will delete the need for a periodical 

replacement of the delta-P diaphragm before 

overhaul of the HMU. The modification 

TU157 is therefore considered as the 

terminating action for this AD. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent the loss of 

automatic control mode coupled with the 

deteriorated performance of the backup 

mode, which can lead to the inability to 

continue safe flight, forced autorotation 

landing, or an accident. 

Actions and Compliance 

(e) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) For ARRIEL 2B1 engines that 

incorporate modification TU157, no further 

action is required. 

(2) For all other ARRIEL 2B1 engines do 

the following: 

(i) Replace the hydromechanical metering 

unit (HMU) with a serviceable HMU before 

the HMU accumulates 1,500 hours-sincenew, hours-since-last-overhaul (HSO), or 

since incorporation of Turbomeca Service 

Bulletin (SB) No. 292 73 2105, whichever 

occurs later. 

(ii) Thereafter, replace the HMU with a 

serviceable HMU at every 1,500 hours-since 

new, since last overhaul, or since 

incorporation of Turbomeca SB No. 292 73 

2105, whichever occurs later. 

(iii) For the purposes of this AD, a 

serviceable HMU is an HMU fitted with a 

new constant delta P diaphragm in 

accordance with Turbomeca Mandatory 

Service Bulletin (MSB) No. 292 73 2818, 

Original Issue, Dated October 18, 2006, 

Update No. 1, dated April 3, 2007, or Version 

C, dated January 29, 2009. 

Optional Terminating Action 

(3) Replacing the HMU with an HMU that 

has been modified to TU157 terminates the 

repetitive requirement of paragraph (e)(2)(ii) 

of this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

(f) This AD differs from the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information 

(MCAI) because the MCAI applies to the 

ARRIEL 2B1 and 2B1A engines. The ARRIEL 

2B1A engine is not type certificated in the 

United States, so this proposed AD applies to 

the ARRIEL 2B1 engine model only. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(g) The Manager, Engine Certification 

Office, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

Modification of Class C Airspace; 

Beale Air Force Base, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies the legal 

description of the Beale Air Force Base 

(AFB), CA, Class C airspace area by 

allowing the hours of operation to be 

announced in advance by a Notice to 

Airmen (NOTAM). The effective hours 

of the Beale AFB Class C airspace area 

will be consistent with the actual hours 

of operation of the Beale AFB Airport 

Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, June 

18, 2010. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The Beale AFB ATCT has reduced its 

hours of operation. During the times 

that Beale ATCT is not operational, 

Class C ATC Services are not available 

and the airspace reverts to Class E 

airspace. A requirement for Class C 

airspace is an operational ATCT. During 

the times that Beale ATCT is closed, 

Class C air traffic services are not 

available. Therefore, there is a need to 

publish the effective hours of operation 

for the Beale AFB Class C airspace area 

to coincide with those times that Class 

C ATC services are available. The Beale 

AFB Class C airspace area remains an 

essential safety measure in support of 

the ongoing airport operational 

requirements. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 71 by 

modifying the legal description of the 

Beale AFB, CA, Class C airspace area. 

The Beale AFB Class C airspace area is 

designated effective during the specific 

dates and times established in advance 

by NOTAM. The effective days and 

times will thereafter be continuously 

published in the Airport/Facility 

Directory, in concert with current Beale 

AFB ATCT operating hours. During the 

times that Beale ATCT is not 

operational, the airspace reverts to Class 

E airspace. 

Class C Airspace areas are published 

in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order 

7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and 

effective September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class C airspace listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

In consideration of the need to change 

the Beale AFB Class C airspace effective 

hours of operation to be consistent with 

the actual operating hours of the Beale 

AFB ATCT, and conform with FAA 

regulations for Class C airspace, the 

FAA finds good cause, pursuant to 

U.S.C. 553(d), for making this 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days in order to promote the safe and 

efficient handling of air traffic in the 

area. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory 

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; 

February 26, 1979); and (3) does not 

warrant preparation of a regulatory 

evaluation as the anticipated impact is 

so minimal. Since this is a routine 

matter that will only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in subtitle 

VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. 

Under that section, the FAA is charged 

with prescribing regulations to assign 

the use of the airspace necessary to 

ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority as 

it modifies Class C airspace for Beale 

AFB, CA. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures,’’ paragraph 

311a. This airspace action is not 

expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
