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: 

On two occurrences on Myste`re-Falcon 50 

aeroplanes in service, it was detected that 

two pipes of the emergency brake system #2 

located near the nose landing gear bearing 

were swapped. 

The swapping of these two pipes implies 

that when the Left Hand (LH) brake pedal is 

depressed, the Right Hand (RH) brake unit is 

activated, and conversely, when the RH brake 

pedal is depressed, the LH brake unit is 

actuated. This constitutes an unsafe 

condition, which may go unnoticed as the 

condition is latent until the emergency brake 

system #2 is used. This condition, if not 

corrected, could ultimately lead to a runway 

excursion of the aeroplane. 

* * * * * 

This AD requires actions that are 

intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

December 9, 2010. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of December 9, 2010.

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 

Emergency Airworthiness Directive 

2010–0208–E, dated October 12, 2010 

(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to 

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

On two occurrences on Myste`re-Falcon 50 

aeroplanes in service, it was detected that 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 226 / Wednesday, November 24, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 71531 

two pipes of the emergency brake system #2 

located near the nose landing gear bearing 

were swapped. 

The swapping of these two pipes implies 

that when the Left Hand (LH) brake pedal is 

depressed, the Right Hand (RH) brake unit is 

activated, and conversely, when the RH brake 

pedal is depressed, the LH brake unit is 

actuated. This constitutes an unsafe 

condition, which may go unnoticed as the 

condition is latent until the emergency brake 

system #2 is used. This condition, if not 

corrected, could ultimately lead to a runway 

excursion of the aeroplane. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires an [general visual] 

inspection of the main landing gear braking 

system and, in case of findings, proper reinstallation of the emergency brake system #2 

pipes. This [EASA] AD also requires painting 

the affected pipes for clear identification in 

order to avoid mistakes while reinstalling 

them after maintenance. 

You may obtain further information 

by examining the MCAI in the AD 

docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

DASSAULT AVIATION has issued 

Service Bulletin F50–515, dated October 

12, 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. 

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 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because this unsafe condition could 

result in a high speed runway excursion 

when the brakes are applied. Therefore, 

we determined that notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

issuing this AD are impracticable and 

that good cause exists for making this 

amendment effective in fewer than 30 

days. 

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–2010–1155; 

Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–238– 

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.

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: 

2010–24–08 Dassault Aviation: 

Amendment 39–16527. Docket No. 

FAA–2010–1155; Directorate Identifier 

2010–NM–238–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective December 9, 2010. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to DASSAULT 

AVIATION Model MYSTERE–FALCON 50 

airplanes, certificated in any category, all 

serial numbers. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 32: Landing Gear. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continued airworthiness 

information (MCAI) states: 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
71532 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 226 / Wednesday, November 24, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

On two occurrences on Myste`re-Falcon 50 

aeroplanes in service, it was detected that 

two pipes of the emergency brake system #2 

located near the nose landing gear bearing 

were swapped. 

The swapping of these two pipes implies 

that when the Left Hand (LH) brake pedal is 

depressed, the Right Hand (RH) brake unit is 

activated, and conversely, when the RH brake 

pedal is depressed, the LH brake unit is 

actuated. This constitutes an unsafe 

condition, which may go unnoticed as the 

condition is latent until the emergency brake 

system #2 is used. This condition, if not 

corrected, 

* * * * * 

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. 

Actions 

(g) Within 7 days after the effective date of 

this AD, do a general visual inspection for 

correct installation (as defined in Dassault 

Service Bulletin F50–515, dated October 12, 

2010) of the emergency brake system number 

2, in accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Dassault Service Bulletin 

F50–515, dated October 12, 2010, except that 

work required by this AD can only be done 

by persons prescribed in 14 CFR 43.3 and 

43.7. 

(h) If the emergency brake system number 

2 is found installed incorrectly during the 

inspection required by paragraph (g) of this 

AD: Before further flight, install the 

emergency brake system number 2 correctly, 

in accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Dassault Service Bulletin 

F50–515, dated October 12, 2010. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: 

(1) European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) AD 2010–0208–E, dated October 12, 

2010, has a compliance time of ‘‘before the 

next flight after the effective date of this AD.’’ 

This AD requires that the actions be done 

within 7 days after the effective date of this 

AD. 

(2) EASA AD 2010–0208–E, dated October 

12, 2010, allows the flightcrew to inspect the 

emergency brake system number 2 specified 

in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin 

F50–515, dated October 12, 2010. However, 

this AD requires the inspection to be 

performed by certificated maintenance 

personnel. 

(3) EASA AD 2010–0208–E, dated October 

12, 2010, requires painting the pipes end of 

the emergency brake system number 2 and 

related unions within 7 months after the 

effective date of that AD. This AD does not 

require painting the pipes end of the 

emergency brake system number 2 and 

related unions. We might consider additional 

rulemaking to require this action in the 

future. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(i) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, Transport Airplane 

Directorate, FAA, has the authority to

any approved AMOC on any airplane to 

which the AMOC applies, notify your 

principal maintenance inspector (PMI) or 

principal avionics inspector (PAI), as 

appropriate, or lacking a principal inspector, 

your local Flight Standards District Office. 

The AMOC approval letter must specifically 

reference this AD. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service. 

(3) Reporting Requirements: For any 

reporting requirement in this AD, under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has 

approved the information collection

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Robinson Model R22, R22 Alpha, R22 

Beta, and R22 Mariner helicopters, and 

Model R44 and R44 II helicopters. This 

AD requires visually inspecting each tail 

rotor (T/R) control pedal bearing block 

support (support) for a crack, measuring 

the thickness of each support, installing 

support safety tabs on certain supports, 

and replacing supports of a certain 

thickness during the next 2,200 hour 

overhaul. This amendment is prompted 

by two reports of Model R22 helicopters 

experiencing broken supports during 

flight, which resulted in the T/R control 

pedals becoming jammed. The actions 

specified by this AD are intended to 

prevent the supports from breaking, 

which can bind the T/R control pedals, 

resulting in a reduction of yaw control 

and subsequent loss of control of the 

helicopter. 

DATES: Effective December 29, 2010. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of December 

29, 2010.
