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 BD–700–1A10 

and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by in-service reports of 

passenger door tensator spring failures, 

and qualification testing indicating that 

non-conforming tensator springs could 

be susceptible to failure prior to 

reaching their safe-life limit. This AD 

requires revising the maintenance or 

inspection program to incorporate 

certain temporary revisions, and 

replacing the passenger door tensator 

springs with new springs. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent tensator 

spring failure, resulting in the inability 

to open the main passenger door, which 

could impede evacuation in the event of 

an emergency. 

DATES: This AD is effective October 5, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of October 5, 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 March 4, 2016 (81 

FR 11471) (‘‘the NPRM’’). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–39, 

dated November 4, 2014 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD– 

700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

Following the issuance of [Canadian] AD 

CF–2010–14, additional qualification testing 

of the passenger door tensator spring, Part 

Number (P/N) GS321–0580–1, determined 

that the tensator springs could be susceptible 

to failure prior to reaching the life limit 

mandated by [Canadian] AD CF–2010–14. 

In addition, there have been in-service 

reports of passenger door tensator spring 

failures. Investigation determined that the 

material used to manufacture the tensator 

springs [was] improperly heat treated. 

The passenger door assembly is installed 

with four tensator springs that assist the door 

actuator in opening and closing the door. Inservice experience has shown that a failed 

tensator spring could uncoil and foul up the 

rotating tensator spools, resulting in the 

inability to open the main passenger door. 

The inability to open the main passenger 

door could impede evacuation in the event 

of an emergency. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the revision 

to the approved maintenance schedule to 

reduce the repetitive discard task interval 

and mandates the replacement of nonconforming tensator springs. 

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–2016– 

3989. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Include Service Information 

Bombardier, Inc. requested that we 

revise the Related Service Information 

under 1 CFR part 51 section and 

paragraph (g) of the proposed AD to 

include Temporary Revision (TR) 5–2– 

10, dated September 9, 2014, to Part 2, 

Section 5–10–11, of Bombardier Global 

5000 GL 5000 Featuring Global Vision 

Flight Deck—Time Limits/Maintenance 

Checks. 

We agree to include TR 5–2–10, dated 

June 4, 2014, to Part 2, Section 5–10–11, 

of Bombardier Global 5000 GL 5000 

Featuring Global Vision Flight Deck— 

Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, as 

requested by the commenter. Our intent 

is to correspond with TCCA Canadian 

AD CF–2014–39, dated November 4, 

2014, which includes TR 5–2–9, dated 

September 9, 2014, to Part 2, Section 5– 

10–11, of Bombardier Global 5000 GL 

5000 Featuring Global Vision Flight 


ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
59828 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 169 / Wednesday, August 31, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

Deck—Time Limits/Maintenance 

Checks. TR 5–2–10, dated June 4, 2014, 

supersedes TR 5–2–9, dated September 

9, 2014. We have included TR 5–2–10, 

dated June 4, 2014, in paragraph (g)(2) 

of this AD and redesignated subsequent 

paragraph identifiers accordingly. We 

have also included that same TR in the 

Related Service Information under 1 

CFR part 51 section of this final rule. 

Since the NPRM inadvertently did not 

include a TR to Part 2, Section 5–10–11, 

of Bombardier Global 5000 GL 5000 

Featuring Global Vision Flight Deck— 

Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, we 

must make this change to avoid 

operators needing to ask for approval of 

an alternative method of compliance 

(AMOC) to use a TR in order to comply 

with the revision required by paragraph 

(g) of this AD. 

In addition, we have revised 

paragraph (g) of this AD to refer to Task 

Number 52–11–41–101 because some 

TRs include multiple tasks. This AD 

specifically addresses the passenger 

door tensator spring, part number 

GS321–0580–1, and the task number in 

the TRs for that component is 52–11– 

41–101. 

Request To Correct Typographical 

Error 

Bombardier, Inc. requested that we 

revise paragraph (g)(2) of the proposed 

AD to read ‘‘Model BD–700–1A10 

airplanes,’’ instead of ‘‘Model BD–700– 

1A11 airplanes.’’ 

We agree. This was a typographical 

error, and has been corrected in 

paragraph (g)(3) of this AD (paragraph 

(g)(2) of the proposed AD). 

Request To Revise Compliance Time 

NetJets requested that we revise the 

proposed AD so that the threshold for 

the initial spring replacement is based 

on the AD effective date, and not the TR 

revision date. NetJets explained that 

paragraph (g) of the proposed AD 

specifies that the compliance time for 

the initial replacement is per the TRs 

listed in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) 

of the proposed AD, or within 30 days 

after the AD effective date, whichever 

occurs later. NetJets explained further 

that the TRs base the threshold from the 

TR revision date of ‘‘Jun 04/2014,’’ and 

that by the time the final rule is 

released, the threshold in the TR will 

have been exceeded by approximately 2 

years. NetJets argued that, therefore, the 

final rule will effectively mandate a 30- 

day threshold, which is an undue 

burden without technical justification. 

We do not agree with the request to 

revise the compliance time in this AD. 

The compliance time in this AD 

corresponds with the compliance time 

in Canadian AD CF–2014–39, dated 

November 4, 2014. In addition, the 

commenter did not provide any data to 

substantiate that extending the 

compliance time would provide an 

acceptable level of safety. After 

considering all the available 

information, we have determined that 

the compliance time, as proposed, 

represents an appropriate interval of 

time in which the required actions can 

be performed in a timely manner within 

the affected fleet, while still maintaining 

an adequate level of safety. Under the 

provisions of paragraph (k)(1) of this 

AD, however, we may consider requests 

for adjustments to the compliance time 

if data are submitted to substantiate that 

such an adjustment would provide an 

acceptable level of safety. We have 

made no changes to this AD in this 

regard. 

Request To Allow for Later-Approved 

Revisions of Service Information 

NetJets requested that we revise the 

NPRM to add provisions to allow later 

FAA-approved revisions to the time 

limits/maintenance checks manuals 

(TLMCM), so that an approval of an 

AMOC will not be required to 

incorporate the currently published 

TLMCM revision and future revisions. 

NetJets explained that the TRs specified 

in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of the 

proposed AD have been incorporated in 

revisions to the listed TLMCMs. 

We find that clarification is necessary. 

Once operators have incorporated the 

task in the TR into their maintenance or 

inspection program, the task cannot be 

changed without approval of an AMOC. 

However, once the task in the TR is 

incorporated into the TLMCM, operators 

that use the TLMCM are still in 

compliance because the task has not 

changed. If a future revision of the 

TLMCM changes the task, then an 

AMOC would be needed to use the 

revised task. 

We have revised paragraph (g) of this 

AD to clarify that the revision may be 

done by inserting copies of the TRs 

identified in paragraphs (g)(1) through 

(g)(5) of this AD into the applicable 

TLMCM. When the information in a TR 

has been included in general revisions 

of the applicable TLMCM, the general 

revisions may be inserted in the 

TLMCM, and the TR may be removed. 

Request for Clarification of the 

Necessity for a Life Limit Requirement 

NetJets requested that we clarify the 

necessity for the life limit requirement 

in paragraph (i) of the proposed AD. 

NetJets stated that paragraph (i) of the 

proposed AD requires a threshold of 

‘‘. . . but not exceeding the applicable 

life limit of the passenger tensator 

spring . . .’’ without identifying the 

referenced life limit, and noted that the 

listed service information does not 

include a life limit requirement. 

We agree to clarify the requirement 

specified in paragraph (i) of this AD and 

the necessity for that requirement. The 

passenger door assembly is installed 

with four tensator springs that assist the 

door actuator in opening and closing the 

door. In-service experience has shown 

that a failed tensator spring could uncoil 

and foul up the rotating tensator spools, 

resulting in the inability to open the 

main passenger door. The inability to 

open the main passenger door could 

impede evacuation in the event of an 

emergency. The actions required by this 

AD are necessary to address the 

identified unsafe condition. 

Paragraph (g) of this AD mandates the 

revision to the approved maintenance 

schedule by incorporating TRs to reduce 

the repetitive discard task interval. 

Paragraph (i) of this AD mandates, for 

certain airplanes, the replacement of 

non-conforming tensator springs within 

15 months after the effective date of this 

AD, but not exceeding the applicable 

life limit of 1,500 landings for the 

component as listed in the applicable 

TRs identified in paragraph (g) of this 

AD. The replacement is necessary to 

ensure the airplanes identified in 

section 1.A., ‘‘Effectivity,’’ of 

Bombardier Global 5000 Service 

Bulletin 700–1A11–52–023, dated 

October 4, 2013; or Bombardier Global 

Express/Global Express XRS Service 

Bulletin 700–52–046, dated October 4, 

2013, replace the tensator springs 

within 15 months, as specified in that 

service information, but not later than 

the new life limit. We have revised 

paragraph (i) of this AD to refer to the 

TRs in paragraph (g) of this AD for the 

life limit. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD.

The service information describes 

procedures for replacing passenger door 

tensator springs with new springs. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 60 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 40 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this AD. The average labor rate is $85 

per work-hour. Based on these figures, 

we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators to be $204,000, or $3,400 per 

product. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this 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 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; The Boeing 

Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 737–600, 

–700, –700C, –800, –900, and –900ER 

series airplanes. This AD was prompted 

by reports of heavy corrosion and 

chrome damage on the forward and aft 

trunnion pin assemblies of the right and 

left main landing gears (MLGs). This AD 

requires repetitive lubrication of the 

forward and aft trunnion pin assemblies 

of the right and left MLGs; repetitive 

inspections of these assemblies for 

corrosion and chrome damage, and 

related investigative and corrective 

actions if necessary; and installation of 

new or modified trunnion pin assembly 

components, which will terminate the 

repetitive lubrication and repetitive 

inspections. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct heavy corrosion and 

chrome damage on the forward and aft 

trunnion pin assemblies of the right and 

left MLGs, which could result in 

cracking of these assemblies and 

collapse of the MLGs. 

DATES: This AD is effective October 5, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of October 5, 2016.
