ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are revising Airworthiness 

Directive (AD) 2011–22–05 for 

Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model 

AS350B, B1, B2, B3, BA, C, D, D1, 

AS355E, F, F1, F2, N, and NP 

helicopters with certain tail rotor (T/R) 

pitch control rods (control rods) 

installed. AD 2011–22–05 required 

checking the control rod for play before 

the first flight of each day. This new AD 

requires checking the control rod for 

play within 30 hours time-in-service 

(TIS) and, if no bearing play is detected, 

thereafter at intervals not to exceed 30 

hours TIS. The actions in this AD are 

intended to prevent failure of a T/R 

control rod, loss of T/R control, and 

subsequent loss of control of the 

helicopter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to revise AD 2011–22–05, 

Amendment 39–16847 (76 FR 70046, 

November 10, 2011). AD 2011–22–05 

applied to Eurocopter Model AS350B, 

B1, B2, B3, BA, C, D, D1; and Model 

AS355E, F, F1, F2, N, and NP 

helicopters with T/R control rod, part 

number (P/N) 350A33–2100–00, –01, 

–02, –03, –04; P/N 350A33–2121–00, 

–01, –02; P/N 350A33–2143–00; or P/N 

350A33–2145–00 or –01, installed. AD 

2011–22–05 required checking the 

control rod for play before the first flight 

of each day. The NPRM, published in 

the Federal Register on September 26, 

2013 (78 FR 59298), proposed to extend 

the required time to check control rod 

play to within 30 hours TIS and, if no 

bearing play is detected, thereafter at 

intervals not to exceed 30 hours TIS. 

The NPRM was based on our 

determination that we can safely extend 

the compliance time for the initial 

bearing play check and the interval for 

recurring checks. We also clarified the 

requirements of that check and removed 

a previous requirement that if the Teflon 

cloth is coming out of its normal 

position within the bearing, or if there 

is discoloration or scoring on the 

bearing, that the control rod be replaced 

with an airworthy rod before further 

flight. These actions are intended to 

prevent failure of a control rod, loss of 

T/R control, and subsequent loss of 

control of the helicopter. 

Since we issued the NPRM, 

Eurocopter France has changed its name 

to Airbus Helicopters. This AD reflects 

that change and updates the contact 

information to obtain service 

documentation. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD, but 

we received no comments on the NPRM 

(78 FR 59298, September 26, 2013). 

FAA’s Determination 

These helicopters have been approved 

by the aviation authority of France and 

are approved for operation in the United 

States. Pursuant to our bilateral 

agreement with France, EASA, its 

technical representative, has notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

EASA AD. We are issuing this AD 

because we evaluated all information 

provided by EASA and determined the 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other helicopters of 

these same type designs and that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD requirements as 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
14170 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 49 / Thursday, March 13, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

proposed except for the minor change 

previously described. This change is 

consistent with the intent of the 

proposals in the NPRM (78 FR 59298, 

September 26, 2013) and will not 

increase the economic burden on any 

operator nor increase the scope of the 

AD. 

Related Service Information 

Eurocopter issued Alert Service 

Bulletin (ASB) No. 05.00.60 for the 

Model AS350 series helicopters, and 

ASB No. 05.00.56 for the Model AS355 

series helicopters, both Revision 0, and 

both dated December 9, 2009. These 

ASBs specify performing an initial and 

recurring check for play in the pitchchange links. If axial play in the balljoint is detectable, the ASBs specify 

removing the pitch-change link and 

measuring the bearing wear using a dial 

indicator. EASA classified these ASBs 

as mandatory and issued EASA AD No. 

2010–0006, dated January 7, 2010, to 

ensure the continued airworthiness of 

these helicopters. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 936 

helicopters of U.S. Registry. We 

estimate, per helicopter, it will take 

minimal work-hours to do the check, 1 

work-hour to measure the bearing play, 

and 1 work-hour to replace 1 control 

rod. The average labor rate is $85 per 

work-hour. Required parts cost about 

$1,724 to replace a control rod per 

helicopter. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators is minimal for the check. 

Measuring the bearing play, if needed, 

costs $85 per helicopter, and replacing 

1 control rod costs $1,809 per 

helicopter. 

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 have 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 

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.
