**[Docket No. FAA–2011–0479; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–154–AD]** 

**RIN 2120–AA64**

**Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Inc. Model DHC–8–102, –103, –106,**  **–201, –202, –301, –311, and –315 Airplanes; Equipped With Certain**  **Cockpit Door Installations**

**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 that would supersede an existing AD. 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:

During structural testing of the cockpit door, it was observed that the door lower hinge block rotated which resulted in disengagement of the mating hinge pin and excessive door deflection. The lower hinge block rotated because it was attached to its support structure with only one attachment bolt, which prevented it from reacting to any moment force. This condition, if not corrected could result in breakage and uncontrolled release of the cockpit door under certain decompression situations.

After incorporation of Modsum 8Q900267 * * *, an operator reported a failure to complete the cockpit door removal function test. This condition, if not corrected, could result in the inability to remove the cockpit door for emergency egress. * * * 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 July 25, 2011.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may send comments by any of the following methods:

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

Discussion

On June 5, 2006, we issued AD 2006– 12–16, Amendment 39–14642 (71 FR 34006, June 13, 2006). That AD required actions intended to address an unsafe condition on the products listed above.

Since we issued AD 2006–12–16, an operator reported a failure to complete the cockpit door removal function test. This condition, if not corrected, could result in the inability to remove the cockpit door for emergency egress. The Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF–2005–34R1, dated August 15, 2007 (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’ ), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

During structural testing of the cockpit door, it was observed that the door lower hinge block rotated which resulted in disengagement of the mating hinge pin and excessive door deflection. The lower hinge block rotated because it was attached to its support structure with only one attachment bolt, which prevented it from reacting to any moment force. This condition, if not corrected could result in breakage and uncontrolled release of the cockpit door under certain decompression situations.

After incorporation of Modsum 8Q900267 * * *, an operator reported a failure to complete the cockpit door removal function test. This condition, if not corrected, could result in the inability to remove the cockpit door for emergency egress. Therefore, * * * this [Canadian] directive is issued to require rework of the cockpit door striker plate and replacement of the latch block for the affected aircraft serial numbers. * * * You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

Bombardier Inc. has issued Service Bulletins 8–52–58, Revision A, dated November 17, 2006; and 8–52–61, dated October 20, 2006. The actions described in this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI. Change to Table 3 of the Existing AD

We have revised Table 3 of the existing AD to remove reference to Bombardier Series 100/300 Modification Summary (Modsums) 8Q200015, 8Q420101, and 8Q420143 in the column labeled ‘‘ One approved method for doing these actions. ’’ However, we have approved De Havilland Aircraft of Canada, Limited, Modification 8/2337 as an additional source of guidance for reworking the cockpit door emergency release. We have approved De Havilland Aircraft of Canada, Limited, Modification 8/3339 as an additional source of guidance for installing a new label regarding the alternate release of the door. We have also approved Bombardier Series 100/300 Modsum 8Q200015 as an additional source of guidance for installing the cockpit door. Operators may contact the Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office, ANE–170, for information regarding the use of Bombardier Series 100/300 Modsum 8Q200015 for installing the cockpit door, as required by paragraph (h) of this AD. We have not included Bombardier Series 100/300 Modsums 8Q420101 and 8Q420143 in this AD because they are optional installations of the emergency locator transmitter and blow-out panel on the cockpit door and were done during production. 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 17 products of U.S. registry.

The actions that are required by AD 2006–12–16 and retained in this proposed AD take between 3 and 6 work-hours per product, depending on


### 33175 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 8, 2011 / Proposed Rules

the airplane configuration, at an average labor rate of $85 per work hour. Required parts cost about $2,000 per product. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently required actions is between $2,255 and $2,510 per product.

We estimate that it would take about 3 work-hours per product to comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $2,000 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 U.S. operators to be $38,335, or $2,255 per product. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. The Proposed Amendment

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

**SUMMARY :**  We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. 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:

One operator reported a failure of the MLG [main landing gear] retraction actuator sliding rod. This incident occurred at a number of operating flight cycles lower than the limit value imposed by the MLG manufacturer.

This condition, if not detected and corrected, results in undampened extension of the MLG, leading to higher than usual loads on the MLG attachment. Higher loads
