AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a

new airworthiness directive (AD),

applicable to all Dassault Model Falcon

2000, Mystere-Falcon 900, Falcon

900EX, Fan Jet Falcon, Mystere-Falcon

50, Mystere-Falcon 20, Mystere-Falcon

200, and Falcon 10 series airplanes, that

requires repetitive tests and inspections

to detect discrepancies of the overwing

emergency exit; and corrective action, if

necessary. This amendment is prompted

by issuance of mandatory continuing

airworthiness information by a foreign

civil airworthiness authority. The

actions specified by this AD are

intended to prevent failure of the

overwing emergency exits to open, and

consequent injury to passengers or crew

members during an emergency

evacuation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 20, 2000.

this amendment may be examined at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A

proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to

include an airworthiness directive (AD)

that is applicable to all Dassault Model

Falcon 2000, Mystere-Falcon 900,

Falcon 900EX, Fan Jet Falcon, MystereFalcon 50, Mystere-Falcon 20, MystereFalcon 200, and Falcon 10 series

airplanes was published in the Federal

Register on April 24, 2000 (65 FR

21679). That action proposed to require

repetitive tests and inspections to detect

discrepancies of the overwing

emergency exit; and corrective action, if

necessary.

Comments

Interested persons have been afforded

an opportunity to participate in the

making of this amendment. No

comments were submitted in response

to the proposal or the FAA’s

determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

The FAA has determined that air

safety and the public interest require the

adoption of the rule as proposed.

Cost Impact

The FAA estimates that 767 airplanes

of U.S. registry will be affected by this

AD, that it will take approximately 1

work hour per airplane to accomplish

the required actions, and that the

average labor rate is $60 per work hour.

Based on these figures, the cost impact

of the AD on U.S. operators is estimated

to be $46,020, or $60 per airplane, per

inspection cycle.

The cost impact figure discussed

above is based on assumptions that no

operator has yet accomplished any of

the requirements of this AD action, and

that no operator would accomplish

those actions in the future if this AD

were not adopted.

Regulatory Impact

The regulations adopted herein 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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 116 / Thursday, June 15, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 37481

levels of government. Therefore, it is

determined that this final rule does not

have federalism implications under

Executive Order 13132.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this action (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)

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. A final evaluation has

been prepared for this action and it is

contained in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it may be obtained from the Rules

Docket at the location provided under

the caption ADDRESSES.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

2000–12–15 Dassault Aviation:

Mystere-Falcon 900, Falcon 900EX, Fan Jet

Falcon, Mystere-Falcon 50, Mystere-Falcon

20, Mystere-Falcon 200, and Falcon 10 series

airplanes; certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (b) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent failure of the overwing

emergency exits to open, and consequent

injury to passengers or crew members during

an emergency evacuation, accomplish the

following:

Operational Test and Inspection

(a) Within 30 days after the effective date

of this AD, perform an operational test and

detailed visual inspection of the overwing

emergency exit from inside the cabin to

detect discrepancies (including separation,

tearing, wearing, arcing, cracking) in the

areas and components listed in Chapter 5

(ATA Code 52) of the applicable airplane

maintenance manual (AMM). Accomplish

the actions in accordance with the applicable

AMM. If any discrepancy is detected during

any test or inspection required by this

paragraph, prior to further flight, repair in

accordance with Chapter 5 (ATA Code 52) of

the applicable AMM. Repeat the operational

test and inspection thereafter at intervals not

to exceed 13 months.

Note 2: For the purposes of this AD, a

detailed visual inspection is defined as: ‘‘An

intensive visual examination of a specific

structural area, system, installation, or

assembly to detect damage, failure, or

irregularity. Available lighting is normally

supplemented with a direct source of good

lighting at intensity deemed appropriate by

the inspector. Inspection aids such as mirror,

magnifying lenses, etc., may be used. Surface

cleaning and elaborate access procedures

may be required.’’

Alternative Methods of Compliance

(b) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager,

International Branch, ANM–116, FAA,

Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators

shall submit their requests through an

appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, International Branch,

ANM–116.

Note 3: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the International Branch,

ANM–116.

Special Flight Permits

(c) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

Note 4: The subject of this AD is addressed

in French airworthiness directives 1999–

213–025(B), 1999–212–024(B), 1999–211–

023(B), and 1999–210–009(B); all dated May
