ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model BD–700–1A10 

and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by a report of several 

events where pilots experienced 

difficulty in lateral control of the 

airplane after doing a climb through 

heavy rain conditions and a 

determination that the cause was water 

ingress in the aileron control pulley 

assembly. This AD requires, for certain 

airplanes, inspecting for correct 

clearance and rework if necessary, and, 

for certain other airplanes, installing a 

cover for the aileron pulley assembly. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent water 

ingress in the aileron control pulley 

assembly, which could freeze in cold 

conditions and result in reduced control 

of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

September 29, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of September 29, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model 

BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on March 30, 2015 (80 

FR 16608). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–23, 

dated July 18, 2014 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD– 

700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

There have been several reports whereby 

pilots have experienced difficulty in lateral 

control following climb through heavy rain 

conditions. In each event, the pilots were 

able to overcome this difficulty without 

disconnecting the aileron control. An 

investigation has determined that the root 

cause of the restricted movement of the 

aileron was due to water ingress into the 

wing root aileron control pulley assembly 

through a gap on the wing-to-fuselage fairing 

resulting in freezing of the aileron control 

system. 


Lhorne on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
51462 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 164 / Tuesday, August 25, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

If not corrected, this condition could result 

in reduced lateral control of the aeroplane. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates [for certain 

airplanes] the incorporation of a cover for the 

aileron pulley assembly [and inspection and 

rework if necessary] to prevent water ingress 

in the aileron control pulley assembly [and 

for certain other airplanes, mandates an 

inspection and rework if necessary]. 

The inspection involves doing a 

general visual inspection for correct 

clearance. You may examine the MCAI 

in the AD docket on the Internet at 

http://www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2015-0676- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (80 

FR 16608, March 30, 2015) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (80 FR 

16608, March 30, 2015) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (80 FR 16608, 

March 30, 2015). 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier has issued the following 

service information: 

• Service Bulletin 700–1A11–27–034, 

Revision 04, dated September 4, 2014; 

• Service Bulletin 700–27–076, 

Revision 04, dated September 4, 2014; 

• Service Bulletin 700–27–5004, 

Revision 04, dated September 4, 2014; 

and 

• Service Bulletin 700–27–6004, 

Revision 04, dated September 4, 2014. 

This service information describes 

procedures, for certain airplanes, for 

installing a cover for the No. 1 aileron 

pulley, including an inspection for 

correct clearance and rework, and for 

certain other airplanes, for an inspection 

for correct clearance and rework. This 

service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section of 

this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 60 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 9 work-hours 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 on U.S. 

operators to be $45,900, or $765 per 

product. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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.
