Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 213 / Monday, November 6, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 76113 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain Embraer Model EMB– 

505 airplanes. The NPRM published in 

the Federal Register on August 14, 2023 

(88 FR 54941). The NPRM was 

prompted by AD 2023–04–01, effective 

April 4, 2023, issued by ANAC, which 

is the aviation authority for Brazil 

(ANAC AD 2023–04–01) (also referred 

to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition for Embraer Model EMB–505 

airplanes equipped with the Garmin 

G3000 avionics system. The MCAI states 

that there have been occurrences of 

uncommanded change in the setting of 

the barometric pressure in both PFDs 

resulting in erroneous altitude 

information. Erroneous altitude 

information on both PFDs could result 

in altitude mismanagement or spatial 

disorientation of the flight crew. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

require installing a new version of the 

airplane avionics system software, as 

specified in ANAC AD 2023–04–01. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

uncommanded change in the setting of 

the barometric pressure in both PFDs, 

which could consequently lead to a 

deviation from the intended altitude 

and loss of control of the airplane, risk 

of air collision due to inadequate air 

traffic separation, or risk of controlled 

flight into terrain. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1708. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received no comments on 

the NPRM or on the determination of 

the costs. 

Conclusion 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI referenced 

above. The FAA reviewed the relevant 

data and determined that air safety 

requires adopting this AD as proposed. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. Except for minor editorial 

changes, this AD is adopted as proposed 

in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

ANAC AD 2023–04–01 specifies 

procedures for installing Garmin G3000 

avionics system software updates. 

This material is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in ADDRESSES. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI 

ANAC AD 2023–04–01 requires 

installing the software update in 

accordance with the service information 

specified in ANAC AD 2023–04–01, and 

this AD does not require using that 

service information to install the 

software update. 

Paragraph (c) of ANAC AD 2023–04– 

01 provides credit for performing 

previous actions using previous 

revisions of the service information 

specified in ANAC AD 2023–04–01. 

Paragraph (d) of ANAC AD 2023–04–01 

provides procedures for obtaining an 

alternative method of compliance. 

Paragraph (e) of ANAC AD 2023–04–01 

requires using the service information 

specified in ANAC AD 2023–04–01, or 

future revisions approved by ANAC, to 

do the software update. This AD does 

not require compliance with paragraphs 

(c) through (e) of ANAC AD 2023–04– 

01. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 183 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Install software ................................................ 8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ............. $50 $730 $133,590 

The FAA has included all known 

costs in its cost estimate. According to 

the manufacturer, however, all of the 

costs associated with the software 

update may be covered under warranty. 

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. 

The FAA is 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 

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) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, 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.
