AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated 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: 

* * * * * 

Investigation conducted by Thales on 

* * * probes revealed oil residue between 

the stator and the rotor parts of the AoA 

[angle of attack] vane position resolvers. This 

oil residue was due to incorrect cleaning of 

the machining oil during the manufacturing 

process of the AoA resolvers. At low 

temperatures, this oil residue becomes 

viscous (typically in cruise) causing lag of 

AoA vane movement. 

Such condition could lead to discrepant 

AoA measurement. If not corrected, and if 

two or three AoA probes were 

simultaneously affected and provided wrong 

indications of the AoA to a similar extent, it 

could lead to a late activation of the angle of 

attack protection, which in combination with 

flight at high angle of attack would constitute 

an unsafe condition. 

* * * * * 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

December 14, 2010. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of December 14, 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 July 7, 2010 (75 FR 38947). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

During Airbus Final Assembly Line 

reception flight tests, AoA [angle of attack] 

data from two different aeroplanes were 

found inaccurate. Inaccuracy was confirmed 

by flight data analysis. 

Investigation conducted by Thales on the 

removed probes revealed oil residue between 

the stator and the rotor parts of the AoA vane 

position resolvers. This oil residue was due 

to incorrect cleaning of the machining oil 

during the manufacturing process of the AoA 

resolvers. At low temperatures, this oil 

residue becomes viscous (typically in cruise) 

causing lag of AoA vane movement. 

Such condition could lead to discrepant 

AoA measurement. If not corrected, and if 

two or three AoA probes were 

simultaneously affected and provided wrong 

indications of the AoA to a similar extent, it 

could lead to a late activation of the angle of 

attack protection, which in combination with 

flight at high angle of attack would constitute 

an unsafe condition. 

Therefore, this [European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA)] AD requires a one time 

inspection of the Thales Avionics AoA probe 

P/N [part number] C16291AA in order to 

identify the suspect parts and to remove 

them from service. 

This [EASA] AD revision is issued to 

specify that the identification of the affected 

AoA probes is also possible in accordance 

with aeroplane maintenance records data 

analysis. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comment received. The 

commenter supports the NPRM. 

Airplane Models Certificated Since the 

NPRM Was Published 

In August 2010, after the NPRM was 

published, the FAA type-certificated 

two new Airbus models: Models A330– 

223F and –243F, and we find that those 

models are also subject to the unsafe 

condition identified this AD action. We 

have added those models to the subject 

heading on page 1 and to paragraph 

(c)(1) of this AD. Since no airplanes of 

those models are presently on the U.S. 

Register, additional notice and 

opportunity for public comment on that 

topic before issuing this AD are 

unnecessary. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We also determined that these changes 

will not increase the economic burden 

on any operator or increase the scope of 

the AD. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow our FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a NOTE within the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

about 44 products of U.S. registry. 

(There are currently no Model A340 

airplanes on the U.S. Register.) We also 

estimate that it will take about 3 workhours 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 to the U.S. operators to 

be $11,220, or $255 per product. 

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. 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with RULES_PART 1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 9, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 68699 

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 the NPRM, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is 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 adding 

the following new AD: 

2010–23–12 Airbus: Amendment 39–16501. 

Docket No. FAA–2010–0675; Directorate 

Identifier 2010–NM–061–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective December 14, 2010. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to the airplanes 

identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of 

this AD. 

(1) Airbus Model A330–201, A330–202, 

A330–203, A330–223, A330–223F, A330– 

243, A330–243F, A330–301, A330–302, 

A330–303, A330–321, A330–322, A330–323, 

A330–341, A330–342 and A330–343 

airplanes, certificated in any category; all 

manufacturer serial numbers, equipped with 

Thales Avionics angle of attack (AoA) probes 

having part number (P/N) C16291AA. 

(2) Airbus Model A340–211, A340–212, 

A340–213, A340–311, A340–312, A340–313, 

A340–541, and A340–642 airplanes, 

certificated in any category, all manufacturer 

serial numbers, equipped with Thales 

Avionics AoA probes having P/N C16291AA. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 34: Navigation. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

During Airbus Final Assembly Line 

reception flight tests, AoA data from two 

different aeroplanes were found inaccurate. 

Inaccuracy was confirmed by flight data 

analysis. 

Investigation conducted by Thales on the 

removed probes revealed oil residue between 

the stator and the rotor parts of the AoA vane 

position resolvers. This oil residue was due 

to incorrect cleaning of the machining oil 

during the manufacturing process of the AoA 

resolvers. At low temperatures, this oil 

residue becomes viscous (typically in cruise) 

causing lag of AoA vane movement. 

Such condition could lead to discrepant 

AoA measurement. If not corrected, and if 

two or three AoA probes were 

simultaneously affected and provided wrong 

indications of the AoA to a similar extent, it 

could lead to a late activation of the angle of 

attack protection, which in combination with 

flight at high angle of attack would constitute 

an unsafe condition. 

Therefore, this [European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA)] AD requires a one time 

inspection of the Thales Avionics AoA probe 

P/N C16291AA in order to identify the 

suspect parts and to remove them from 

service. 

This [EASA] AD revision is issued to 

specify that the identification of the affected 

AoA probes is also possible in accordance 

with aeroplane maintenance records data 

analysis. 

Compliance 

(f) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Inspection of AoA Probes 

(g) Within 3 months after the effective date 

of this AD, perform a detailed visual 

inspection of the Thales Avionics AoA 

probes having P/N C16291AA for a serial 

number identification, in accordance with 

the Accomplishment Instructions of the 

applicable service information identified in 

Table 1 of this AD. A review of airplane 

maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of 

this inspection if the serial number of the 

AoA probe can be conclusively determined 

from that review. If no AoA probe having P/ 

N C16291AA and a serial number identified 

in Thales Service Bulletin C16291A–34–007, 

Revision 01, dated December 3, 2009, is 

identified during the inspection required by 

this paragraph of this AD, no further action 

is required by this AD, except for paragraph 

(i) of this AD.

accomplished. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2010–0016R1, dated 

February 9, 2010, does not include Models 

A330–223F and A330–243F. We find that 

those models need to be included in this AD 

action, and have coordinated this difference 

with EASA and Airbus.

Establishment and Amendment of Area 

Navigation (RNAV) Routes; Alaska 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes two 

and modifies four Area Navigation 

(RNAV) routes in Alaska. T and Qroutes are Air Traffic Service (ATS) 

routes, based on RNAV, for use by 

aircraft having instrument flight rules 

(IFR)-approved Global Positioning 

System (GPS)/Global Navigation 

Satellite System (GNSS) equipment, or 

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)/ 

DME Inertial Reference Unit (IRU) 

navigation capability. The FAA is taking 

this action to enhance safety and 

improve the efficient use of the 

navigable airspace in Alaska. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, January 

13, 2011. 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.

History 

On June 7, 2010, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish and amend Area Navigation 

Routes in Alaska (75 FR 32120). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received. 

This amendment is the same as that 

proposed in the NPRM. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishing two RNAV T-routes, T–267 

and T–271, and modifying three RNAV 

T-routes and one Q-route in Alaska. In 

response to comments received for a 

NPRM published February 12, 2009, (74 

FR 7012), a new T-route (T–267) is 

established, which will circumvent the 

ocean near Kotzebue, AK, allowing IFR 

aircraft to fly closer to the shoreline. 

Also, one modified T-route continues 

south from Frederick’s Point Nondirectional Beacon, for connectivity 

between Juneau and Ketchikan, AK. 

Two T-routes are modified to allow 

lower minimum en route altitudes to be 

flown. Additionally, one Q-route is 

revised to provide a more direct route 

between Anchorage and Galena, AK. 

The RNAV routes described in this rule 

will enhance safety, and facilitate more 

flexible and efficient use of the 

navigable airspace for en route IFR 

operations in Alaska. 

High Altitude RNAV routes are 

published in paragraph 2006, and Low 

Altitude RNAV routes are published in 

paragraph 6011, in FAA Order 7400.9U 

dated August 18, 2010, and effective 

September, 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The airspace designations listed in 

this document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

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 establishes and amends RNAV routes 

in Alaska. 

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.
