Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC–8–102, 

–103, –106, –201, –202, –301, –311, and 

–315 airplanes. This AD was prompted 

by a report of a pilot commanding an inflight engine shut down in response to 

a low oil pressure warning indication. 

Further investigation revealed the 

mounting studs in the engine mounted 

alternating current (AC) generator 

mounting plate were pulled out of 

position and the threaded interface in 

the plate was corroded. This AD 

requires repetitive inspections for 

discrepancies on certain AC generator 

mounting adapters, and replacing 

discrepant adapters with serviceable 

ones. This AD also requires revising the 

maintenance program to incorporate a 

repetitive task specified in certain 

temporary revisions. We are issuing this 

AD to detect and correct corrosion in 

the AC generator mounting plate, which 

could result in a gap between the AC 

generator and the generator mounting 

plate, and cause loss of engine oil and 

consequent engine failure. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 23, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of June 23, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to 

amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD 

that would apply to certain Bombardier, 

Inc. Model DHC–8–102, –103, –106, 

–201, –202, –301, –311, and –315 

airplanes. The SNPRM published in the 

Federal Register on January 13, 2016 

(81 FR 1563), (‘‘the SNPRM’’). We 

preceded the SNPRM with a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 28, 2013 (78 FR 53080), (‘‘the 

NPRM’’). The NPRM proposed to 

require repetitive inspections for 

discrepancies on certain AC generator 

mounting adapters, and replacing 

discrepant adapters with serviceable 

ones. The NPRM also proposed to 

require revising the maintenance 

program to incorporate a repetitive task 

specified in certain temporary revisions. 

The NPRM was prompted by a report of 

a pilot commanding an in-flight engine 

shut down in response to a low oil 

pressure warning indication. Further 

investigation revealed the mounting 

studs in the engine mounted AC 

generator mounting plate were pulled 

out of position and the threaded 

interface in the plate was corroded. 

The SNPRM proposed to require the 

actions specified in the NPRM, and to 

expand the proposed applicability. We 

are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

corrosion in the AC generator mounting 

plate, which could result in a gap 

between the AC generator and the 

generator mounting plate, and cause 

loss of engine oil and consequent engine 

failure. 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive, CF–2012– 

29R1, effective April 28, 2015 (referred 

to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

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

condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. 

Model DHC–8–102, –103, –106, –201, 

–202, –301, –311, and –315 airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

An incident has been reported, on the 

DHC–8 aeroplane, where a pilot commanded 

in-flight engine shut down in response to an 

engine low oil pressure warning indication. 

Further investigation revealed the 

mounting studs in the engine mounted 

alternating current (AC) generator mounting 

plate were pulled out of position and the 

threaded interface in the plate corroded. This 

resulted in a gap between the AC generator 

and the generator mounting plate, leading to 

the loss of engine oil and the ensuing 

illumination of the associated engine low oil 

pressure warning indication. 

To ensure the integrity of the affected 

units, Part I of this [Canadian] AD mandates 

an inspection of the affected AC generator 

mounting adapters part numbers (P/N) 

31708–500 or 31708–501, and, as applicable, 

replacement with new or serviceable 

mounting plates. 

Part II of this [Canadian] AD mandates the 

incorporation of a repeat Maintenance 

Review Board (MRB) inspection applicable to 

the replacement of the AC generator 

mounting adapters P/Ns 31708–510 or 

31708–511 only. 

Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD is issued 

to include additional aeroplane serial 

numbers (003 through 018) to the 

Applicability section, and to clarify the 

compliance schedules in Part I B. and Part II 

below [in this Canadian AD]. 

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–2013– 

0703. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the SNPRM 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 SNPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the SNPRM.

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 88 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it takes about 6 

work-hours per product to comply with 

the basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts cost about $4,000 per 

product. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of the AD on U.S. 

operators to be $396,880, or $4,510 per 

product. 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide cost 

estimates for the on-condition actions 

specified in 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 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
31494 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

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.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier,

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

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 determination that 

the network interface installed between 

the Information Management System 

(IMS) 6000 unit and the Cabin 

Entertainment System (CES) network 

could affect the Aircraft Control Domain 

(ACD), and result in the transmission of 

misleading navigational information to 

the flightcrew. This AD requires 

inspecting the network interface 

installation between the IMS and the 

CES, and disconnecting the installation, 

if necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent the transmission of misleading 

navigational information, which could 

adversely affect the ability of the 

flightcrew to maintain the safe flight 

and landing of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 23, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of June 23, 2016.

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 January 13, 2016 

(81 FR 1568) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM 

was prompted by a determination that 

the network interface installed between 

the IMS 6000 unit and the CES network 

could affect the ACD, and result in the 

transmission of misleading navigational 

information to the flightcrew. The 

NPRM proposed to require inspecting 

the network interface installation 

between the IMS and the CES, and 

disconnecting the installation, if 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent the transmission of misleading 

navigational information, which could 

adversely affect the ability of the 

flightcrew to maintain the safe flight 

and landing of the airplane. 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2015–19, 

dated July 20, 2015 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
