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: 

A Fokker 50 operator reported an 

overextended MLG [main landing gear] 

sliding member after landing. During 

subsequent investigation it was found that an 

end stop had unscrewed itself to a certain 

extent. This caused the MLG torque links to 

move into an overcentre position against the 

MLG sliding member. Investigation learned 

that there was no lockwiring present on the 

two lockbolts, which hold the end stop. This 

condition, if not corrected, could lead to 

structural damage of the main gear and loss 

of control of the aeroplanes during the 

landing roll. 

This AD requires actions that are 

intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 

8, 2010. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of July 8, 2010. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by August 9, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 23, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 35625 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2009–0145, 

dated July 31, 2009 (referred to after this 

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

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

A Fokker 50 operator reported an 

overextended MLG [main landing gear] 

sliding member after landing. During 

subsequent investigation it was found that an 

end stop had unscrewed itself to a certain 

extent. This caused the MLG torque links to 

move into an overcentre position against the 

MLG sliding member. Investigation learned 

that there was no lockwiring present on the 

two lockbolts, which hold the end stop. This 

condition, if not corrected, could lead to 

structural damage of the main gear and loss 

of control of the aeroplanes during the 

landing roll. 

EASA issued AD 2009–0018 to address this 

unsafe condition [on Model Mark 050, Mark 

0502 and Mark 0604 airplanes]. Earlier F27 

Mark 500 and 600 ‘RFV’ aeroplanes are 

equipped with similar design MLG units. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires repetitive [general visual] 

inspections for the presence and proper 

application of lockwiring on the two 

lockbolts which hold the sliding member end 

stop, and corrective action, depending on 

findings. 

Required actions include repetitive 

measurements of the length of the 

extended portion of the MLG sliding 

member, and corrective actions 

including repetitively inspecting the 

lockwiring on the two sliding member 

end stop lock bolts for missing or 

damaged lockwiring, and installing 

lockwiring, as applicable. You may 

obtain further information by examining 

the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Fokker Services B.V. has issued 

Fokker Service Bulletin F27/32–172, 

dated January 26, 2009. Fokker Service 

Bulletin F27/32–172, dated January 26, 

2009, refers to Messier-Dowty Service 

Bulletin 32–91W, dated September 8, 

2008, as an additional source of 

guidance for accomplishment of the 

actions required by this AD. 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. 

There are no products of this type 

currently registered in the United States. 

However, this rule is necessary to 

ensure that the described unsafe 

condition is addressed if any of these 

products are placed on the U.S. Register 

in the future. 

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 

Since there are currently no domestic 

operators of this product, notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

issuing this AD are unnecessary. 

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–2010–0551; 

Directorate Identifier 2009–NM–202– 

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.

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 32: Landing Gear. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continued airworthiness 

information (MCAI) states: 

A Fokker 50 operator reported an 

overextended MLG [main landing gear] 

sliding member after landing. During 

subsequent investigation it was found that an 

end stop had unscrewed itself to a certain 

extent. This caused the MLG torque links to 

move into an overcentre position against the 

MLG sliding member. Investigation learned 

that there was no lockwiring present on the 

two lockbolts, which hold the end stop. This 

condition, if not corrected, could lead to 

structural damage of the main gear and loss 

of control of the aeroplanes during the 

landing roll. 

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 500 flight cycles after the 

effective date of this AD, measure the length 

of the extended portion of the sliding 

member of the main landing gear (MLG), in 

accordance with Part 1 of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin F27/32–172, dated January 

26, 2009. Repeat the measurement at 

intervals not to exceed 500 flight cycles until 

lockwiring is installed in accordance with 

Fokker Service Bulletin F27/32–172, dated 

January 26, 2009, or the requirements of 

paragraph (h) of this AD have been 

completed. 

(h) At the applicable time specified in 

paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this AD, perform 

a general visual inspection for the presence 

of lockwiring and damage to lockwiring on 

the two sliding member end stop lock bolts 

of the MLG, in accordance with Part 2 of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin F27/32–172, dated January 

26, 2009. If lockwiring is missing or 

damaged, install lockwiring before further 

flight, in accordance with Fokker Service 

Bulletin F27/32–172, dated January 26, 2009. 

(1) If, during any measurement required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD, overextension is 

found, or the measurement has increased by 

1.0 millimeter (mm) or more compared to the 

previous measurement, inspect before further 

flight. 

(2) If during any measurement required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD, no overextension is 

found and the measurement has not 

increased by 1.0 mm or more compared to 

the previous measurement, inspect within 

4,000 flight hours after the effective date of 

this AD. 

Note 1: Fokker Service Bulletin F27/32– 

172, dated January 26, 2009, refers to 

Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin 32–91W, 

dated September 8, 2008, as an additional 

source of guidance. 

(i) If, during any measurement required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD, overextension is 

found or the measurement has increased by 

1.0 mm or more compared to the previous 

measurement; or if, during any inspection 

required by paragraph (h) of this AD, 

lockwiring is not present or is not installed 

correctly; submit a report to Fokker Services

done on or after the effective date of this AD: 

Submit the report within 30 days after the 

inspection or measurement was 

accomplished, as applicable. 

(2) If the inspection or measurement was 

accomplished prior to the effective date of 

this AD: Submit the report within 30 days 

after the effective date of this AD. 

(j) If lockwiring is installed in accordance 

with paragraph (h) of this AD, or if no 

discrepancies are found during the 

inspection required by paragraph (h) of this 

AD, as applicable, the repetitive 

measurement required by paragraph (g) of 

this AD is no longer required by this AD. 

(k) As of the effective date of this AD: No 

person may install a MLG on any airplane

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by 

amending the referenced SIAPs. The 

complete regulatory description of each 

SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA 

Form 8260, as modified by the National 

Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of Title 14 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations. 

The large number of SIAPs, their 

complex nature, and the need for a 

special format make their verbatim 

publication in the Federal Register 

expensive and impractical. Further, 

airmen do not use the regulatory text of 

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic 

depiction on charts printed by 

publishers of aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP contained in FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of SIAP 

and the corresponding effective dates. 

This amendment also identifies the 

airport and its location, the procedure 

and the amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P– 

NOTAM, and contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these changes to 

SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied 

only to specific conditions existing at 

the affected airports. All SIAP 

amendments in this rule have been 

previously issued by the FAA in a FDC 

NOTAM as an emergency action of 

immediate flight safety relating directly 

to published aeronautical charts. The 

circumstances which created the need 

for all these SIAP amendments requires 

making them effective in less than 30 

days. 

Because of the close and immediate 

relationship between these SIAPs and 

safety in air commerce, I find that notice 

and public procedure before adopting 

these SIAPs are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and, 

where applicable, that good cause exists 

for making these SIAPs effective in less 

than 30 days. 

Conclusion 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It, therefore- (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) does not 

warrant preparation of a regulatory 

evaluation as the anticipated impact is 

so minimal. For the same reason, the 

FAA certifies that this amendment will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
