AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

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: 

During the overhaul of a Main Landing 

Gear (MLG) of a Falcon 2000, the sleeve on 

the hydraulic flow restrictor in the shock 

absorber was found displaced, because of the 

rupture of its three retaining screws. * * * 

Failure of the retaining screws has been 

determined to be the final phase of a slow 

unscrewing process under normal 

operational conditions. The unsafe condition 

only exists once the three screws have failed. 

* * * * * 

The unsafe condition is failure of three 

retaining screws of the MLG shock 

absorber which could result in collapse 

of the landing gear during ground 

maneuvers or landing. The proposed AD 

would require actions that are intended 

to address the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by October 26, 2009.

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 2009–0050, 

dated March 5, 2009 (referred to after 

this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

During the overhaul of a Main Landing 

Gear (MLG) of a Falcon 2000, the sleeve on 

the hydraulic flow restrictor in the shock 

absorber was found displaced, because of the 

rupture of its three retaining screws. In this 

situation, the energy dissipation function of 

the shock absorber is lost and high loads may 

be transmitted to the aircraft structure during 

landing. Structural integrity may thus not be 

guaranteed over the entire certified landing 

conditions domain particularly in 

combination of high landing weight and high 

vertical speed. 

Failure of the retaining screws has been 

determined to be the final phase of a slow 

unscrewing process under normal 

operational conditions. The unsafe condition 

only exists once the three screws have failed. 

For the reasons described above, 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008–0178 had 

been released to require a repetitive 

borescope inspection of the flow restriction 

system [for damage; such as condition of the 

sleeve of the dumping device, and broken or 

loose screws] and, if necessary, repair of the 

shock absorber per Dassault Aviation Service 

Bulletins (SB) F2000–367 and F2000EX–185 

(corresponding to modification M3120) 

developed with the landing gear 

manufacturer’s instructions.* * * 

After qualification testing, modification 

M3120 has been approved by EASA as a 

definitive solution. 

As a consequence, the present AD retains 

the requirements of AD 2008–0178 which is 

superseded and introduces M3120 as a 

terminating action to the repetitive 

inspections requirement, and further 

mandates its embodiment no later than the 

next MLG shock absorber overhaul. 

The unsafe condition is failure of three 

retaining screws of the MLG shock

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 184 / Thursday, September 24, 2009 / Proposed Rules 48669 

absorber which could result in collapse 

of the landing gear during ground 

maneuvers or landing. The repair can 

include additional inspections, 

modifying the shock absorbers, and 

contacting the manufacturer for repair 

instructions and doing the repair before 

further flight. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Dassault has issued Mandatory 

Service Bulletin F2000EX–167, Revision 

1, dated December 1, 2008; Service 

Bulletin F2000EX–185, Revision 2, 

dated February 4, 2009; Mandatory 

Service Bulletin F2000–366, Revision 2, 

dated December 1, 2008; and Service 

Bulletin F2000–367, Revision 4, dated 

February 4, 2009. 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 Proposed 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 proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

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 proposed 

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 

proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 236 products of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it would 

take about 25 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $80 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $0 per product. 

Where the service information lists 

required parts costs that are covered 

under warranty, we have assumed that 

there will be no charge for these costs. 

As we do not control warranty coverage 

for affected parties, some parties may 

incur costs higher than estimated here. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $472,000, or $2,000 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. 

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 proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would 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 proposed regulation: 

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 proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows:

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: 

Dassault Aviation: Docket No. FAA–2009– 

0791; Directorate Identifier 2008–NM– 

213–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by October 

26, 2009. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all Dassault Model 

Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX airplanes, 

certificated in any category. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 32: Landing gear. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

During the overhaul of a Main Landing 

Gear (MLG) of a Falcon 2000, the sleeve on 

the hydraulic flow restrictor in the shock 

absorber was found displaced, because of the 

rupture of its three retaining screws. In this 

situation, the energy dissipation function of 

the shock absorber is lost and high loads may 

be transmitted to the aircraft structure during 

landing. Structural integrity may thus not be 

guaranteed over the entire certified landing 

conditions domain particularly in 

combination of high landing weight and high 

vertical speed. 

Failure of the retaining screws has been 

determined to be the final phase of a slow 

unscrewing process under normal 

operational conditions. The unsafe condition 

only exists once the three screws have failed. 

For the reasons described above, 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008–0178 had 

been released to require a repetitive 

borescope inspection of the flow restriction 

system [for damage; such as condition of the 

sleeve of the dumping device, and broken or 

loose screws] and, if necessary, repair of the 

shock absorber per Dassault Aviation Service 

Bulletins (SB) F2000–367 and F2000EX–185 

(corresponding to modification M3120) 

developed with the landing gear 

manufacturer’s instructions.* * * 


cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
48670 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 184 / Thursday, September 24, 2009 / Proposed Rules 

After qualification testing, modification 

M3120 has been approved by the European 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), as a 

definitive solution. 

As a consequence, the present AD retains 

the requirements of AD 2008–0178 which is 

superseded and introduces M3120 as a 

terminating action to the repetitive 

inspections requirement, and further 

mandates its embodiment no later than the 

next MLG shock absorber overhaul. 

The unsafe condition is failure of three 

retaining screws of the MLG shock absorber 

which could result in collapse of the landing 

gear during ground maneuvers or landing. 

The repair can include additional 

inspections, modifying the shock absorbers, 

and contacting the manufacturer for repair 

instructions and doing the repair before 

further flight. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) For airplanes on which each new or 

previously overhauled MLG shock absorber 

has accumulated 4,200 or more total landings 

since new or overhauled as of the effective 

date of this AD: Within 8 months after the 

effective date of this AD, inspect the shock 

absorber for damage, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Dassault 

Mandatory Service Bulletin F2000–366, 

Revision 2; or F2000EX–167, Revision 1; both

FAA AD Differences 

Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: 

(1) Although the MCAI requires repairing 

any damage within the applicable time or 

landing limits specified in Dassault 

Mandatory Service Bulletin F2000–366, 

Revision 2, or F2000EX–167, Revision 1, both 

dated December 1, 2008; this AD requires 

that the repair be done before further flight. 

(2) Paragraph (1) of the MCAI requires 

updating the operator’s maintenance 

program; however, that action is not required 

by this AD. The maintenance program does 

not require FAA approval.
