Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model BD–100–1A10 

(Challenger 300) airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by multiple 

reports of a short circuit between the 

heater element and the metal sheath of 

the pitot-static probe heater. This 

proposed AD would require 

replacement of the left and right pitotstatic probes with newly redesigned left 

and right pitot-static probes. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent 

degradation of the heating ability of the 

pitot-static probe heater, resulting in 

erroneous airspeed indication during 

flight in icing conditions and 

consequent reduced controllability of 

the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by September 14, 

2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian AD 

CF–2015–04, dated March 17, 2015 

(referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

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

condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. 

Model BD–100–1A10 (Challenger 300) 

airplanes. The MCAI states: 

There have been several reports where the 

pitot-static probe heater came on and 

remained on regardless of the heater control 

selected position. Investigation determined 

that the root cause is a short circuit between 

the heater element and the metal sheath. If 

not corrected, this condition may degrade the 

heating, resulting in erroneous Airspeed 

Indication when flying in icing condition 

[and consequent reduced controllability of 

the airplane]. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

replacement of the pitot-static probes with a 

redesigned probe which will prevent this 

failure mode. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

3140. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 100–34–38, dated January 9, 

2014. The service information describes 

procedures for replacement of the left 

and right pitot-static probes with newly 

redesigned left and right pitot-static 

probes, part numbers 0856WC3 and 

0856WC4 respectively. 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 NPRM. 

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 


rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
45618 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 147 / Friday, July 31, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 126 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 12 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $13,468 per 

product. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this proposed AD on 

U.S. operators to be $1,825,488, or 

$14,488 per product. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this proposed 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 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); 

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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment
