Airworthiness Directives; Airbus 

Helicopters 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B, 

AS350BA, AS350B1, AS350B2, 

AS350B3, AS350C, and AS350D 

helicopters; Model AS355E, AS355F, 

AS355F1, AS355F2, AS355N, and 

AS355NP helicopters; and Model 

EC130B4 and EC130T2 helicopters. This 

proposed AD was prompted by a report 

of failed main rotor hub-to-mast 

attachment screws. This proposed AD 

would require determining whether the 

helicopter has been operated in a severe 

environment since the last inspection of 

the main rotor hub-to-mast attachment 

screws, an inspection of the main rotor 

hub-to-mast attachment screws if the 

helicopter has been operated in a severe 

environment, and replacement of the 

main rotor hub-to-mast attachment 

screws if necessary, as specified in a 

European Aviation Safety Agency (now 

European Union Aviation Safety 

Agency) (EASA) AD, which will be 

incorporated by reference. The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by January 29, 

2021.

Discussion 

The EASA, which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Union, has issued EASA AD 

2017–0032, dated February 17, 2017; 

corrected February 20, 2017 (EASA AD 

2017–0032) (also referred to as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or the MCAI), to correct an 

unsafe condition for all Airbus 

Helicopters Model AS 350 B, AS 350 

81158 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 241 / Tuesday, December 15, 2020 / Proposed Rules 

BA, AS 350 BB, AS 350 B1, AS 350 B2, 

AS 350 B3, and AS 350 D helicopters; 

AS 355 E, AS 355 F, AS 355 F1, AS 355 

F2, AS 355 N, and AS 355 NP 

helicopters; and EC 130 B4 and EC 130 

T2 helicopters. Model AS 350 BB 

helicopters are not certificated by the 

FAA and are not included on the U.S. 

type certificate data sheet; this proposed 

AD therefore does not include those 

helicopters in the applicability. This AD 

also applies to Airbus Helicopter Model 

AS 350C helicopters because these 

helicopters have a similar design and 

are included on the U.S. type certificate 

data sheet. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a report of failed main rotor hub-to-mast 

attachment screws on a Model EC130B4 

helicopter during a scheduled 

maintenance inspection. The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address failed 

main rotor hub-to-mast attachment 

screws, which could lead to 

disconnection of the main rotor hub-tomast attachment, possibly resulting in 

loss of control of the helicopter. See the 

MCAI for additional background 

information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2017–0032 describes 

procedures for determining whether the 

helicopter has been operated in a severe 

environment since the last inspection of 

the main rotor hub-to-mast attachment 

screws, an inspection of the main rotor 

hub-to-mast attachment screws for 

corrosion and damage (damage includes 

cracks, dents, and bolt distortion) if the 

helicopter was operated in a severe 

environment, and replacement of the 

main rotor hub-to-mast attachment 

screws if necessary. This material is 

reasonably available because the 

interested parties have access to it 

through their normal course of business 

or by the means identified in the 

ADDRESSES section. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, the FAA has been 

notified of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI referenced 

above. The FAA is proposing this AD 

because the FAA evaluated all the 

relevant information and determined 

the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

in other products of the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

EASA AD 2017–0032, described 

previously, as incorporated by 

reference, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this AD and except as 

discussed under ‘‘Differences Between 

this Proposed AD and the MCAI.’’ 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA initially worked with 

Airbus and EASA to develop a process 

to use certain EASA ADs as the primary 

source of information for compliance 

with requirements for corresponding 

FAA ADs. The FAA has since 

coordinated with other manufacturers 

and civil aviation authorities (CAAs) to 

use this process. As a result, EASA AD 

2017–0032 will be incorporated by 

reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2017–0032 

in its entirety, through that 

incorporation, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

Using common terms that are the same 

as the heading of a particular section in 

the EASA AD does not mean that 

operators need comply only with that 

section. For example, where the AD 

requirement refers to ‘‘all required 

actions and compliance times,’’ 

compliance with this AD requirement is 

not limited to the section titled 

‘‘Required Action(s) and Compliance 

Time(s)’’ in the EASA AD. Service 

information specified in EASA AD 

2017–0032 that is required for 

compliance with EASA AD 2017–0032 

will be available on the internet at 

https://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2020–1131 after the FAA final 

rule is published. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI 

EASA AD 2017–0032 does not apply 

to Airbus Helicopter Model AS350C 

helicopters, which are included on the 

U.S. type certificate data sheet. 

However, this proposed AD would 

apply to Airbus Helicopter Model 

AS350C helicopters because those 

helicopters have a similar design to the 

helicopters identified in EASA AD 

2017–0032. 

Where the service information 

specified in paragraph (3) of EASA AD 

2017–0032 specifies to contact Airbus 

Helicopters if damage or corrosion 

exceeds existing criteria, this proposed 

AD would require replacing the affected 

screws using a method approved by the 

Manager, International Validation 

Branch, FAA. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD affects 1,220 helicopters of U.S. 

registry. The FAA estimates the 

following costs to comply with this 

proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED DETERMINATION OF HELICOPTER OPERATION IN A SEVERE ENVIRONMENT

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

1 work-hours × $85 per hour = $85 ............................................................................................ $0 $85 $103,700 

The FAA estimates that it would take 

about 1 hour per product to comply 

with the proposed reporting 

requirement in this proposed AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based 

on these figures, the FAA estimates the 

cost of reporting the inspection results 

on U.S. operators to be $103,700, or $85 

per product. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary on-condition 

actions that would be required based on 

the results of any required actions. If a 

helicopter is determined to have been 

operated in a severe environment, an 

inspection of the main rotor hub-to-mast 

attachment screws will be required. If 

there is corrosion or damage to any of 

the screws, replacement of the affected 

screws will be required. The FAA has 

no way of determining the number of 

aircraft that might need these oncondition actions: 

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 241 / Tuesday, December 15, 2020 / Proposed Rules 81159 

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ...................................................................................................................... $106 $446 

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 proposed AD is 2120– 

0056. The paperwork cost associated 

with this proposed 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 proposed 

AD is mandatory. Comments concerning 

the accuracy of this burden and 

suggestions for reducing the burden 

should be directed to: Information 

Collection Clearance Officer, Federal 

Aviation Administration, 10101 

Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 

76177–1524. 

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. 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Leonardo S.p.a. (Leonardo) Model 

AW189 helicopters. This proposed AD 

would require inspecting the tail plane 

installation forward bolts (bolts) and 

depending on the results of those 

inspections, removing certain parts from 

service or installing a tail plane 

retromod. This proposed AD would also 

require torqueing certain part-numbered 

nuts, inspecting bolts and nuts for wear, 

and depending on the results of those 

inspections, removing parts from 

service. This proposed AD was 

prompted by two reported failures of the 

bolts. The actions of this proposed AD 

are intended to address an unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by January 29, 

2021.
