**Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A340–200 and –300 Series Airplanes** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT).

**ACTION :**  Final rule; request for
comments.

**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:

Two A340–300 aeroplanes experienced one single door opening of engine number (n ° ) 3 Thrust Reverser (TR) pivoting door during climb. These events were the result of a primary lock malfunction and incorrect engagement of the secondary lock.
* * * * *

Deployment of one TR door in flight, particularly during the take-off or go around, could result in heavy buffet at low speed, or could significantly reduce take off performance [and increase pilot workload during takeoff or go around], which would constitute an unsafe condition.
* * * * * This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

**DATES :**  This AD becomes effective April 18, 2011.

The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of April 18, 2011.

We must receive comments on this AD by May 16, 2011.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Discussion

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2010–0044, dated March 17, 2010 [corrected March 25, 2010] (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI ’’ ), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI
states:

Two A340–300 aeroplanes experienced one single door opening of engine number (n ° ) 3 Thrust Reverser (TR) pivoting door during climb. These events were the result of a primary lock malfunction and incorrect engagement of the secondary lock.

While investigations on root cause of these events were conducted, preventive actions have been required by EASA AD 2008–0074, AD 2009–0063 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2009–21–05, Amendment 39–16042] and AD 2009–0133.

The root cause has now been identified as being a combined failure of the thrust reverser pivoting door primary lock and
actuator.

Deployment of one TR door in flight, particularly during the take-off or go around, could result in heavy buffet at low speed, or could significantly reduce take off performance [and increase pilot workload during takeoff or go around], which would constitute an unsafe condition.

Investigations have also identified that 10 TR pivoting doors of the 16 installed on each aeroplane may cause such effects. These are: —Outboard engines (n ° 1 and 4): all 4

pivoting doors of each engine. —Inboard engines (n ° 2 and 3): upper

inboard pivoting door of each engine.
In order to reinforce the thrust reverser locking mechanism, this AD requires installation of a new modified primary lock and a new modified actuator on the 10 critical thrust reverser pivoting doors.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

Airbus has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin A340–78–4037, including Appendices 01 and 02, dated January 15, 2010; and Mandatory Service Bulletin A340–78–4038, Appendices 01 and 02, dated January 29, 2010. The actions described in this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI. FAA’s Determination and Requirements of This AD

This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

There are no products of this type currently registered in the United States. However, this rule is necessary to ensure that the described unsafe condition is addressed if any of these products are placed on the U.S. Register in the future.


### 18039 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 63 / Friday, April 1, 2011 / Rules and Regulations

Differences Between the 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 FAA policies. Any such differences are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

FAA’s Determination of the Effective Date

Since there are currently no domestic operators of this product, notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are unnecessary.

Comments Invited

This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the **ADDRESSES** section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2011–16645; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–114– AD ’’ at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of those
comments.

We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http:// www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

**[Docket No. FAA–2010–1209; Airspace Docket No. 10–ANM–10]** 

**Amendment of Class E Airspace; West Yellowstone, MT** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This action will modify Class E airspace at Yellowstone Airport, West Yellowstone, MT, to accommodate aircraft using Instrument Landing System (ILS) Localizer (LOC) standard instrument approach procedures at Yellowstone Airport. This will improve the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

**DATES :**  Effective date, 0901 UTC, June 30, 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.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Eldon Taylor, Federal Aviation Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, WA 98057; telephone (425) 203–4537.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  History

On January 20, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at West Yellowstone, MT (76 FR 3569). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that Order. The Rule

This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Yellowstone Airport, to accommodate IFR aircraft executing ILS LOC standard instrument approach procedures at the airport. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations. With the exception of an editorial change to the regulatory text, this rule is the same as that proposed in the NPRM.

The FAA has determined 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 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses 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 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 creates additional controlled airspace at Yellowstone Airport, West Yellowstone,
MT.
