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: 

A potential fleet wide problem has been 

identified regarding the interchanging of 

wing links on all BAe 146 & AVRO 146–RJ 

aircraft during scheduled maintenance. Some 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 49 / Monday, March 15, 2010 / Proposed Rules 12159 

operators erroneously believed that these 

parts were interchangeable. The effects of 

changing winglinks has resulted in either a 

shorter or longer wing link being fitted, 

which introduces local stresses in the wing 

top and bottom surfaces local to rib 2, wing 

links and wing link fitting attachment and 

the fuselage local to Frames 26 and 29. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result in a 

reduction of structural integrity of the 

fuselage/wing attachment with possible 

catastrophic consequences. 

The unsafe condition could result in 

loss of a wing or controllability of the 

airplane. 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 April 29, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:

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 2008–0003, 

dated January 8, 2008 (referred to after 

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

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

A potential fleet wide problem has been 

identified regarding the interchanging of 

wing links on all BAe 146 & AVRO 146–RJ 

aircraft during scheduled maintenance. Some 

operators erroneously believed that these 

parts were interchangeable. The effects of 

changing winglinks has resulted in either a 

shorter or longer wing link being fitted, 

which introduces local stresses in the wing 

top and bottom surfaces local to rib 2, wing 

links and wing link fitting attachment and 

the fuselage local to Frames 26 and 29. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result in a 

reduction of structural integrity of the 

fuselage/wing attachment with possible 

catastrophic consequences. 

For the reasons described above, the 

present Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

requires the accomplishment of inspections 

and rectification actions, as necessary. 

The unsafe condition could result in 

loss of a wing or controllability of the 

airplane. The inspections include 

inspecting wing links for incorrect part 

numbers (i.e., parts that are not 

original), inspecting to determine wing 

geometry measurements, and inspecting 

the wing link, bores, bolts, and nuts for 

corrosion. Corrective actions include 

installing wing-to-fuselage fairings and 

repairing. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

BAE Systems (Operations) Limited 

has issued Inspection Service Bulletin 

ISB.53–175, Revision 1, dated April 2, 

2007. 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 1 product of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 180 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
12160 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 49 / Monday, March 15, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 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 the U.S. 

operator to be $15,300. 

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: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

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: 

BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited: Docket 

No. FAA–2010–0222; Directorate 

Identifier 2008–NM–012–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by April 29, 

2010. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to BAE Systems 

(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146–100A, 

–200A, and –300A; and Avro 146–RJ70A, 

146–RJ85A, and 146–RJ100A airplanes; all 

serial numbers; certificated in any category; 

as identified in paragraph 1.A.(1) of BAE 

(Operations) Limited Inspection Service 

Bulletin ISB.53–175, Revision 1, dated April 

2, 2007. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 57: Wings. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

‘‘A potential fleet wide problem has been 

identified regarding the interchanging of 

wing links on all BAe 146 & AVRO 146–RJ 

aircraft during scheduled maintenance. Some 

operators erroneously believed that these 

parts were interchangeable. The effects of 

changing winglinks has resulted in either a 

shorter or longer wing link being fitted, 

which introduces local stresses in the wing 

top and bottom surfaces local to rib 2, wing 

links and wing link fitting attachment and 

the fuselage local to Frames 26 and 29. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result in a 

reduction of structural integrity of the 

fuselage/wing attachment with possible 

catastrophic consequences. 

‘‘For the reasons described above, the 

present Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

requires the accomplishment of inspections 

and rectification actions, as necessary.’’ 

The unsafe condition could result in loss 

of a wing or controllability of the airplane. 

The inspections include inspecting wing 

links for incorrect part numbers (i.e., parts 

that are not original), inspecting to determine 

wing geometry measurements, and inspecting 

the wing link, bores, bolts, and nuts for 

corrosion. Corrective actions include 

installing wing-to-fuselage fairings and 

repairing. 

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) Do the following actions. 

(1) For airplanes subject to Maintenance 

Review Board Report (MRBR) requirements: 

Within 30 days after the effective date of this 

AD, revise the supplemental structural 

inspection (SSI) portion of the airplane 

inspection schedule, in accordance with

BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited 

Inspection Service Bulletin ISB.53–175, 

Revision 1, dated April 2, 2007, does not 

specify a compliance time in either flight 

cycles or in flight hours, use flight cycles. 

(2) For airplanes subject to MRBR 

requirements: Accomplishing the inspections 

and all applicable corrective actions of 

paragraph 1.D.(3) of BAE SYSTEMS 

(Operations) Limited Inspection Service 

Bulletin ISB.53–175, Revision 1, dated April 

2, 2007, terminates the revisions to the SSI 

portion of the airplane inspection schedule 

incorporated in accordance with paragraph 

(g)(1) of this AD, provided that if any 

corrosion is found during any inspection 

specified in ‘‘Part C’’ or ‘‘Part D’’ of paragraph 

2.C. of BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited 

Inspection Service Bulletin ISB.53–175, 

Revision 1, dated April 2, 2007, repair is 

accomplished before further flight using a 

method approved by the Manager, 

International Branch, ANM 116, Transport 

Airplane Directorate, FAA, or EASA (or its 

delegated agent). 

(3) For operational airplanes subject to 

MRBR-to-Supplemental-StructuralInspection-Document (SSID) transition 

requirements or to SSID requirements: 

Within 5,000 flight cycles after the effective 

date of this AD, do the inspections and all 

applicable corrective actions, in accordance 

with paragraph 2.C. of the Accomplishment 

Instructions of BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) 

Limited Inspection Service Bulletin ISB.53– 

175, Revision 1, dated April 2, 2007, except 

if any corrosion is found during any 

inspection specified in ‘‘Part C’’ or ‘‘Part D’’ 

of paragraph 2.C. of BAE SYSTEMS 

(Operations) Limited Inspection Service 

Bulletin ISB.53–175, Revision 1, dated April 

2, 2007, repair must be accomplished using 

a method approved by the Manager, 

International Branch, ANM 116, Transport 

Airplane Directorate, FAA, or EASA (or its 

delegated agent). Do all applicable corrective 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 49 / Monday, March 15, 2010 / Proposed Rules 12161 

actions before further flight, except that 

replacements of all the wing links that are 

not within the specified tolerance must be 

done before the airplane reaches its MRBR 

airframe life limit. 

Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a 

detailed inspection is: ‘‘An intensive 

examination of a specific item, installation, 

or assembly to detect damage, failure, or 

irregularity. Available lighting is normally 

supplemented with a direct source of good 

lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. 

Inspection aids such as mirror, magnifying 

lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface 

cleaning and elaborate procedures may be 

required.’’ 

(4) For any inspection done in accordance 

with paragraph (g)(2) or (g)(3) of this AD: 

Send reports to BAE SYSTEMS, Customer 

Liaison, Customer Support (Building 37), 

BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited,

at the applicable time in paragraph (g)(4)(i) 

or (g)(4)(ii) of this AD. The report must 

include the inspection results, a description 

of any discrepancies found, the airplane 

serial number, and the number of landings 

and flight hours on the airplane. 

(i) If the inspection was done on or after 

the effective date of this AD: Submit the 

report within 30 days after the inspection. 

(ii) If the inspection was done before the 

effective date of this AD: Submit the report 

within 30 days after the effective date of this 

AD. 

(5) For airplanes that are non-operational 

as of the effective date of this AD and that 

are subject to MRBR-to-SSID transition 

requirements or to SSID requirements: Before 

returning any airplane to service, do the 

inspections and all applicable corrective 

actions, in accordance with paragraph 2.C. of 

the Accomplishment Instructions of BAE 

SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Inspection 

Service Bulletin ISB.53–175, Revision 1, 

dated April 2, 2007, except if any corrosion 

is found during any inspection specified in 

‘‘Part C’’ or ‘‘Part D’’ of paragraph 2.C. of BAE 

SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Inspection 

Service Bulletin ISB.53–175, Revision 1, 

dated April 2, 2007, repair must be 

accomplished using a method approved by 

the Manager, International Branch, ANM 116, 

Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, or 

EASA (or its delegated agent). 

(6) Actions accomplished before the

BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited 

Inspection Service Bulletin ISB.53–175, 

dated December 21, 2006, are considered 

acceptable for compliance with the 

corresponding action specified in this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: The 

MCAI does not specify a corrective action if 

corrosion is found during accomplishment of 

the actions specified in ‘‘Part C’’ and ‘‘Part D’’ 

of paragraph 2.C. of BAE SYSTEMS 

(Operations) Limited Inspection Service 

Bulletin ISB.53–175, Revision 1, dated April 

2, 2007. This AD requires that if any 

corrosion is found, a repair must be done in 

accordance with a method approved by the 

FAA or EASA (or its delegated agent). 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(h) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
