AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010–23– 

19 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–600–2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 

701, and 702) airplanes, Model CL–600– 

2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, 

and Model CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet 

Series 900) airplanes. AD 2010–23–19 

required repetitive inspections for 

damage of the main landing gear (MLG) 

inboard doors and fairing, and 

corrective actions if necessary. This new 

AD requires repetitive inspections for 

damage of the MLG inboard doors, MLG 

fairing, and adjacent structures of the 

MLG inboard doors, and corrective 

actions if necessary; replacement of the 

MLG fairing seal; and a terminating 

action involving increasing the 

clearances between the MLG fairing and 

MLG door. This new AD also adds one 

airplane and removes others from the 

applicability. This AD was prompted by 

reports of the MLG failing to fully 

extend. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent loss of controllability of the 

airplane during landing. 

DATES: This AD is effective November 

17, 2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of November 17, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2010–23–19, 

Amendment 39–16508 (75 FR 68695, 

November 9, 2010) (‘‘AD 2010–23–19’’). 

AD 2010–23–19 applied to certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2C10 

(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, and 702) 

airplanes, Model CL–600–2D15 

(Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, and 

Model CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet 

Series 900) airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3038) (‘‘the 

NPRM’’). The NPRM was prompted by 

reports of the MLG failing to fully 

extend. The NPRM proposed to 

continue to require repetitive 

inspections for damage of the MLG 

inboard doors and fairing, and 

corrective actions if necessary. The 

NPRM also proposed to require 

repetitive inspections for damage of the 

MLG inboard doors, MLG fairing, and 

adjacent structures of the MLG inboard 

doors, and corrective actions if 

necessary; replacement of the MLG 

fairing seal; and a terminating action 

involving increasing the clearances 

between the MLG fairing and MLG door. 

The NPRM also proposed to add one 

airplane and remove others from the 

applicability. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent loss of controllability of the 

airplane during landing. 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Airworthiness 

Directive CF–2010–36R1, dated July 18, 

2013 (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct 

an unsafe condition on certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2C10 

(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, and 702) 

airplanes, Model CL–600–2D15 

(Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, and 

Model CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet 

Series 900) airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Two cases of main landing gear (MLG) 

failure to fully extend have been reported. An 

MLG failing to extend may result in an 

unsafe asymmetric landing configuration. 

Preliminary investigation has shown that 

interference between the MLG door and the 

MLG fairing seal prevented the MLG door 

from opening. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

[detailed] inspection [for damage] and 

rectification [corrective action], as required, 

of the MLG fairing and seal, MLG door, and 

adjacent structures. 

Data collected from the Original Issue of 

this [Canadian] AD shows potential 

deficiencies with the inspection. This 

[Canadian] AD is revised to update the 

applicability section and to introduce 

additional mitigating actions and the 

terminating action [a modification that 

includes related investigative actions, and 

corrective action if necessary]. 

The unsafe condition is the loss of 

controllability of the airplane during 

landing. Damage includes the following: 

• For the MLG fairing seal: Cracks, 

cuts, or tears in the material of the MLG 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
70596 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 198 / Thursday, October 13, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

fairing seal, and cuts in the material 

base. 

• For the MLG inboard doors: Missing 

or broken rollers on the MLG inboard 

door, missing stops, loose or missing 

fasteners from the stops, and damage 

(including, but not limited to, corrosion, 

cracking, and dents) along the edge of 

the MLG inboard door adjacent to the 

MLG fairing. 

• For the MLG fairing: Missing 

forward and aft stops, loose or missing 

fasteners from the forward and aft stops, 

and damage (including, but not limited 

to, corrosion, cracking, and dents) along 

the edge of the MLG fairing adjacent to 

the MLG inboard door. 

• For the stops and wedges on the 

forward and aft spars: Missing stops, 

loose or missing fasteners from the 

stops, missing wedges, and loose or 

missing fasteners from the wedges. 

Corrective actions include 

replacement of MLG fairing seals, and 

increasing the clearances between the 

MLG fairing and MLG door. 

The terminating modification 

involves increasing the clearance 

between the left and right MLG fairings 

and the left and right MLG doors. 

Related investigative actions for the 

terminating modification include the 

following inspections: 

• A detailed inspection of the MLG 

fairing for missing forward and aft stops, 

loose or missing fasteners from the 

forward and aft stops, and damage along 

the edge of the MLG fairing adjacent to 

the MLG inboard door. 

• A detailed visual inspection of the 

MLG inboard door for missing or broken 

rollers on the MLG inboard door, 

missing stops, loose or missing fasteners 

from the stops, and damage along the 

edge of the MLG inboard door adjacent 

to the MLG fairing. 

• A detailed visual inspection on the 

stops and wedges on the forward and aft 

spars for missing stops, loose or missing 

fasteners from the stops, missing 

wedges, and loose or missing fasteners 

from the wedges. 

• A liquid penetrant inspection or an 

eddy current inspection for cracks in the 

aft stop-fitting and stiffener of the 

forward member of the MLG inboard 

door.

8471. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comment 

received on the NPRM and the FAA’s 

response to the comment. 

Support for the NPRM 

The Air Line Pilots Association, 

International (ALPA), stated that it 

supports the proposed requirements. 

Request To Revise Preflight Check 

ALPA requested that we mandate a 

flightcrew check of the MLG door from 

the rear during preflight checks of the 

aft portion of the MLG. ALPA stated that 

an informal poll of ALPA carriers 

suggested that there is not a universally 

required position from which to make 

such a check. ALPA suggested that 

including a specific MLG fairing seal 

check in the preflight procedures would 

enhance the preflight inspection. 

We do not agree with the commenter’s 

request. The door seals have numerous 

marks and the only way to determine if 

there is significant damage to the MLG 

door fairing and seal would be to 

perform a detailed inspection as 

specified in Bombardier Alert Service 

Bulletin A670BA–32–030. Flightcrews 

are not trained to accomplish this 

inspection and would not be able to 

accurately assess the damage during the 

limited time assigned for the preflight 

check. Canadian AD CF–2010–36R1, 

dated July 18, 2013, requires increasing 

the clearance between the MLG fairings 

and the MLG doors. The effectiveness of 

Canadian AD CF–2010–36R1 is being 

monitored, and we have no information 

that the required modification is not 

effective. As of April 2016, Bombardier 

In-Service-Engineering has confirmed 

that there have been no reports of the 

MLG door being jammed in the MLG 

fairing on airplanes that have done the 

actions specified in Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 670BA–32–040. We have not 

changed this AD in this regard. 

Revised Service Information 

Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service 

Bulletin 670BA–32–040, Revision F, 

dated February 11, 2016, including 

Appendix A, Revision A, and Appendix 

B, Revision B, both dated July 12, 2014. 

This service information incorporates 

small editorial changes, which have no 

effect on airplanes that have 

incorporated prior revisions of this 

service information. We have revised 

paragraphs (n) and (o) of this AD to 

reference this service information as the 

appropriate source of service 

information for accomplishing the 

required actions in those paragraphs. 

We have also added a new paragraph 

(p)(3)(v) to this AD to give credit for 

accomplishment of the actions required 

by paragraph (n) of this AD, if those 

actions were performed before the 

effective date of this AD using 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–32– 

040, Revision E, dated November 13, 

2014. 

Clarification of Revised Repair 

Instruction 

We have clarified the revised repair 

instructions in paragraph (g)(4) of this 

AD by specifying that, as of the effective 

date of this AD, if damage other than the 

damage identified in paragraph (g)(3) of 

this AD is found the repairs must be 

approved using a method approved by 

the Manager, New York Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), ANE–170, 

FAA; or Transport Canada Civil 

Aviation (TCCA); or Bombardier, Inc.’s 

TCCA Design Approval Organization 

(DAO). 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 198 / Thursday, October 13, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 70597 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 416 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The actions required by AD 2010–23– 

19 and retained in this AD take about 

1 work-hour per product, at an average 

labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based 

on these figures, the estimated cost of 

the actions that were required by AD 

2010–23–19 is $85 per inspection cycle 

for each product. 

We also estimate that it takes about 50 

work-hours for each product to comply 

with the basic requirements of this AD. 

The average labor rate is $85 per workhour. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators to be $1,768,000, or $4,250 for 

each product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on replacement actions 

would take about 24 work-hours and 

require parts costing $2,626, for a cost 

of $4,666 per product. We have no way 

of determining the number of aircraft 

that might need these actions. 

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 that 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); 

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in 

Alaska; 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.
