Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA AD No.: 

2012–0202, dated October 1, 2012 

(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to 

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

During the manufacturing process, RAI 

found that some of the nose landing gear 

(NLG) attachment brackets, Part Number (P/ 

N) 6013119–1, were made of aluminum alloy, 

instead of steel. The results of the 

investigations showed that some of these 

aluminum alloy brackets are likely to be 

installed on aeroplanes currently in service. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could lead to failure of the NLG 

attachment bracket and jamming of the NLG 

extension/retraction mechanism, possibly 

resulting in a runway excursion and 

consequent damage to the aeroplane and 

injury to the occupants. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires inspection of the NLG attachment 

bracket P/N 6013119–1 and, depending on 

findings, replacement with a serviceable 

bracket made of steel. 

In addition, as some aluminum alloy P/N 

6013119–1 NLG attachment brackets may 

have been supplied as spares, this AD also 

requires determination that the part is made 

of steel, prior to installation. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Reims Aviation S.A. has issued 

Service Bulletin No. F406–74, dated 

September 26, 2012. The actions 

described in this service information are 

intended to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the 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 this State of 

Design Authority, they have notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all 

information and determined the 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 

will affect 7 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about .5 work-hour per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $42.50, or $297.50 per 

product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 3 work-hours and require parts 

costing $500, for a cost of $755 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

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.

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: 

Reims Aviation S.A.: Docket No. FAA–2012– 

1274; Directorate Identifier 2012–CE– 

042–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by January 22, 

2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None.

proper NLG attachment bracket is installed. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions following the instructions in Reims 

Aviation S.A. Service Bulletin No. F406–74, 

dated September 26, 2012: 

(1) Within the next 25 hours time-inservice (TIS) after the effective date of this 

AD or within the next 30 days after the 

effective date of this AD, whichever occurs 

first, inspect the nose landing gear (NLG) 

attachment brackets, part number (P/N) 

6013119–1, to verify if they are made of steel 

and not aluminum alloy. 

(2) If during the inspection required in 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, you find that a 

NLG attachment bracket made of aluminum 

alloy is installed, before further flight, 

replace with an airworthy steel NLG 

attachment bracket, P/N 6013119–1. 

(3) As of the effective date of this AD, do 

not install any NLG attachment bracket P/N 

6013119–1 that has not been confirmed to be 

made of steel.
