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: 

2020–25–02 Saab AB, Support and Services 

(Formerly Known as Saab AB, Saab 

Aeronautics): Amendment 39–21344; 

Docket No. FAA–2020–0840; Project 

Identifier MCAI–2020–00907–T. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective January 21, 2021. 

(b) Affected Airworthiness Directives (ADs) 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Saab AB, Support 

and Services (Formerly Known as Saab AB, 

Saab Aeronautics) Model 340A (SAAB/ 

SF340A) and SAAB 340B airplanes; and 

Model SAAB 2000 airplanes, certificated in 

any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 32, Landing Gear. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports that 

certain nose landing gear (NLG) door 

attachment bolts are susceptible to hydrogen 

embrittlement. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address NLG door attachment bolts that were 

incorrectly manufactured and are susceptible 

to hydrogen embrittlement, decreasing the 

mechanical characteristics. This condition 

could lead to failure of the affected parts, 

which would impair the link between the 

NLG and NLG door and could prevent the 

extension or retraction of the NLG, and cause 

consequent damage to the airplane and 

possible loss of control during landing. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020–0149, dated 

July 7, 2020 (EASA AD 2020–0149). 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2020–0149 

(1) Where EASA AD 2020–0149 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The ANAC, which is the aviation 

authority for Brazil, has issued ANAC 

AD 2020–04–01R01, effective May 22, 

2020 (‘‘ANAC AD 2020–04–01R01’’) 

(also referred to as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Embraer S.A. 

Model EMB–550 and EMB–545 

airplanes. 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain Embraer S.A. Model 

EMB–550 and EMB–545 airplanes. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on July 17, 2020 (85 FR 43496). 

The NPRM was prompted by reports of 

cracks, delamination, and failure of the 

flight deck side windows during 

certification fatigue tests. The NPRM 

proposed to require repetitive 

inspections of the flight deck side 

windows for any cracking or 

delamination, corrective action if 

necessary, and eventual replacement of 

the windows, as specified in ANAC AD 

2020–04–01R01. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address 

cracks and delamination, which could 

cause the flight deck side windows to 

fail and lead to an in-flight 

depressurization event. See the MCAI 

for additional background information. 

Comments 

The FAA gave the public the 

opportunity to participate in developing 

this final rule. The following presents 

the comment received on the NPRM and 

the FAA’s response to each comment. 

Request To Revise Exception to ANAC 

AD 2020–04–01R01 When No Crack, 

Delamination, or Damage Is Found 

Embraer requested that the FAA 

revise the exception to ANAC AD 2020– 

04–01R01 in paragraph (h)(3) of the 

proposed AD. Embraer proposed the 

language be revised to: ‘‘Where 

Brazilian AD 2020–04–01R01 refers to, 

‘‘in case of no crack, delamination or 

any other damage which do not allow to 

properly perform the required 

inspection by this AD, no action is 

required at this time,’’ this AD requires 

that in the case of no findings in item 

(i) or (ii), no action is required by this 

AD until the next inspection interval.’’ 

Embraer stated that its concern is that 

the current language in paragraph (h)(3) 

of the proposed AD may have an 

interpretation other than the original 

intent, which is to give instruction for 

the case of no damage is found as 

defined in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) and 

(b)(1)(ii) of ANAC AD 2020–04–01R01. 

Embraer also stated that, since 

delamination (commonly defined as a 

reduced adhesion or separation of the 

interlayer between the acrylic plies) is 

found in airplane windows, the concern 

was to define this with additional detail 

in ANAC AD 2020–04–01R01 with the 

conditions related to the unsafe 

condition, which is the presence of 

cracks in the bolt holes. Embraer 

commented that delamination in the 

bolt holes area is not considered a 

critical structural concern; however, it 

could impede or make the crack 

inspection inconclusive. Embraer also 

pointed out that the window is required 

to be replaced with a window having 

the new part number when 

delamination is found. 

Embraer stated that the NPRM could 

be interpreted to require immediate 

window replacement, even though 

delamination typically found in the 

visible areas of windows and other 

typical damage (scratches, crazing, etc.) 

are not immediate structural issues. 

Embraer pointed out that this 

delamination and damage are more of a 

visual aspect that many times result in 

early window replacements. Embraer 

also commented that the maintenance 

procedures are provided with the 

typical limits defined by the windows 

manufacturer for typical damages. 

The FAA agrees with the commenter 

for the reasons provided above. 

Therefore, the FAA has revised 

paragraph (h)(3) of this AD as suggested 

by Embraer. This revision of paragraph 

(h)(3) of this AD provides further 

clarification of the exception to the 

requirements of paragraphs (b)(1)(i) and 

(ii) of ANAC AD 2020–04–01R01. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this 

final rule with the change described 

previously and minor editorial changes. 

The FAA has determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

addressing the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

The FAA also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this final rule. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

ANAC AD 2020–04–01R01 describes 

procedures for repetitive detailed 

inspections of the flight deck side 

windows for any cracking or 

delamination, and replacement of the 

windows. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 49 airplanes of U.S. registry. The 

FAA estimates the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

10 work-hour × $85 per hour = $850 .......................................................................................... $0 $850 $41,650 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 242 / Wednesday, December 16, 2020 / Rules and Regulations 81387 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary on-condition 

action that would be required based on 

the results of any required actions. The 

FAA has no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need this 

on-condition action: 

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

9 work-hours × $85 per hour = $765 ........................................................ $9,280 per window ...................................................... $10,045 

According to the manufacturer, some 

or all of the costs of this AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

individuals. The FAA does not control 

warranty coverage for affected 

individuals. As a result, the FAA has 

included all known costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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 

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) 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.

(‘‘ANAC AD 2020–04–01R01’’). 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 56, Windows. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

cracks, delamination, and failure of the flight 

deck side windows during certification 

fatigue tests. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address such cracks and delamination, which 

could cause the flight deck side windows to 

fail and lead to an in-flight depressurization 

event. 

(f) Compliance

to, ‘‘in case of no crack, delamination or any 

other damage which do not allow to properly 

perform the required inspection by this 

[ANAC] AD, no action is required at this 

time,’’ this AD requires that in the case of no 

findings in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) and (ii) of 

ANAC AD 2020–04–01R01, no action is 

required by this AD until the next inspection 

interval. 

(4) Where ANAC AD 2020–04–01R01 refers 

to the compliance time for the replacement 

of the flight deck side windows as, ‘‘before 

the airplane logs 3,400 Flight Cycles Since 

New (FCSN),’’ this AD requires a compliance 

time of ‘‘before the airplane logs 3,400 FCSN, 

or within 50 flight cycles, whichever occurs 

later.’’ 

(5) Replacement of the flight deck side 

windows as specified in paragraph (c)(1) of 

ANAC AD 2020–04–01R01 terminates the 

repetitive inspections for the flight deck side 

windows specified in paragraph (b)(2) of
