Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 airplanes. 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

‘‘BLEED 1(2) LEAK’’ messages displayed 

on the engine indication and crew alert 

system (EICAS), and indirect damage to 

components of the electrical wiring 

interconnection system (EWIS) in the 

engine pylon area. This AD requires 

inspecting the EWIS components for 

damage, and repair if necessary. This 

AD also requires installing pre-cooler 

deflectors on the left- and right-hand 

pylons, and applying silicone sealant. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent 

indirect damage to EWIS components 

near the engine bleed air pre-coolers, 

which could result in a dual engine roll 

back to idle and consequent dual engine 

power loss and reduced controllability 

of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective October 2, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of October 2, 2014.

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 Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 

170 airplanes. The NPRM published in 

the Federal Register on March 28, 2014 

(79 FR 17461). 

The Ageˆncia Nacional de Aviac ̧a ̃o 

Civil (ANAC), which is the aviation 

authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian 

Airworthiness Directive 2013–11–01, 

effective November 4, 2013 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 

airplanes. The MCAI states: 

This [Brazilian] AD results from reports of 

‘‘BLEED 1(2) LEAK’’ messages being 

displayed on the Engine Indication and Crew 

Alert system (EICAS) panel, and indirect 

damages to components of the Electrical 

Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) on the 

engine pilone area, zones 419 and 429, 

adjacent to the exhaust flange of the engine 

bleed air precooler. 

Further investigation has shown that a 

leakage on the flange of the precooler 

refrigerating air exhaust duct caused the 

damage and triggered the message. We are 

issuing this [Brazilian] AD to prevent EWIS 

components indirect damage, near to engine 

bleed air precooler, which could result in a 

dual engine roll back to idle and the 

consequent dual engine power loss. 

Required actions include inspecting 

the EWIS components adjacent to the 

left- and right-hand pre-cooler for 

damage, and repair if necessary; 

installing pre-cooler deflectors on the 

left- and right-hand pylons, and 

applying silicone sealant. You may 

examine the MCAI in the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!docketDetail;D=FAA-2014-0172-0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 17461, March 28, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data 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 (79 FR 

17461, March 28, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 17461, 

March 28, 2014). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 181 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it takes about 6 

work-hours per product to comply with 

the basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts cost about $366 per 

product. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of the AD on U.S. 

operators to be $158,556, or $876 per 

product. 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide cost 

estimates for the on-condition actions 

specified in this AD. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

51230 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 167 / Thursday, August 28, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

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 

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.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

reports that the pintle pins installed on 

a certain number of airplanes may be 

incorrectly protected against corrosion. 

This AD requires replacing certain 

pintle pins on the left- and right-hand 

main landing gear (MLG) with a 

serviceable part. We are issuing this AD 

to detect and correct pintle pins that 

have been incorrectly corrosionprotected, which could cause the pintle 

pins to shear under normal load and 

lead to the collapse of the MLG during 

take-off or landing. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

October 2, 2014.

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 all Dassault Aviation Model 

FALCON 7X airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 25, 2014 (79 FR 16239). The 

NPRM was prompted by reports that the 

pintle pins installed on a certain 

number of airplanes may be incorrectly 

protected against corrosion. The NPRM 

proposed to require replacing certain 

pintle pins on the left- and right-hand 

main landing gear (MLG) with a 

serviceable part. We are issuing this AD 

to detect and correct pintle pins that 

have been incorrectly corrosionprotected, which could cause the pintle 

pins to shear under normal load and 

lead to the collapse of the MLG during 

take-off or landing. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2013–0162, 

dated July 24, 2013 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 

7X airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, the manufacturer 

of the landing gears of the Falcon 7X 

aeroplanes, has advised that pintle pins Part 

Number (P/N) 55–2355007–01 being installed 

on a certain number of aeroplanes may be 

incorrectly protected against corrosion. These 

pins are designed to shear in case of 

excessive loads on the main landing gears so 

that structural damage would be contained 

after a landing gear collapse. The cadmiumcoating inside the bore of suspect pins may 

not be compliant to the original thickness 

specifications. Inspection of a few removed 

parts in service revealed that traces of limited 

corrosion can be found on an unstressed area 

of the pins. Messier-Bugatti-Dowty identified 

a list of potentially affected pintle pins and 

subsequently, Dassault Aviation identified on 

which aeroplanes those pintle pins were 

installed. 

This condition, if not corrected, may lead 

to corrosion of the pins and ultimately cause 

them to shear under normal load. This could 

result in landing gear collapse during take-off 

or landing. 

To address this condition, Dassault 

Aviation, with the support of MessierBugatti-Dowty, developed Service Bulletin 

(SB) F7X–182 to provide instructions for 

removal of potentially affected pintle pins 

and replacement with serviceable parts. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires replacement of pintle 

pins on affected airplanes. This [EASA] AD 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES
