FAA AD Differences 

Note : This AD differs from the MCAI and/ 

or service information as follows: On 

November 23, 2010, we issued AD 2010–25– 

01 as a unilateral action to address this 

unsafe condition on Diamond Aircraft 

Industries GmbH Models DA 40 and DA 40F 

airplanes. The European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA) issued AD 2010–0235 to 

address the same unsafe condition on both 

DA 40 and DA 42 series airplanes. Since AD 

2010–25–01 already addresses this unsafe 

condition on Models DA 40 and DA 40F 

airplanes, we are not including those models 

in this AD. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(g) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This 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: 

Electrical discontinuity has been detected 

on terminal modules Part Number (P/N) NSA 

937901M1604, manufactured by Deutsch, 

due to an insufficient crimping of the female 

contacts on the shunt, caused by a wrong 

setting of the crimping tool. 

* * * * * 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

potentially result in in-flight failure of the 

Electrical Flight Control System (EFCS) and 

consequent loss of control of the aeroplane. 

In addition, this condition could lead to a 

non detected passenger oxygen loss, which, 

in case of emergency, could result in a large 

number of passenger oxygen masks not being 

supplied with oxygen, possibly causing 

personal injuries. 

This AD requires actions that are 

intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 

31, 2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of May 31, 2011. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by June 27, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2011–0054, 

dated March 24, 2011 (referred to after 

this as ‘‘the MCAI′′), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

Electrical discontinuity has been detected 

on terminal modules Part Number (P/N) NSA 

937901M1604, manufactured by Deutsch, 

due to an insufficient crimping of the female 

contacts on the shunt, caused by a wrong 

setting of the crimping tool. 

The investigations revealed that this 

manufacturing quality deficiency is related 

only to modules P/N NSA 937901M1604 

with manufacturing date codes 08–14 and 

08–18. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

potentially result in in-flight failure of the 

Electrical Flight Control System (EFCS) and 

consequent loss of control of the aeroplane. 

In addition, this condition could lead to a 

non detected passenger oxygen loss, which, 

in case of emergency, could result in a large 

number of passenger oxygen masks not being 

supplied with oxygen, possibly causing 

personal injuries. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires the identification and 

replacement of the affected terminal 

modules. This [EASA] AD also prohibits the 

installation of the affected modules on any 

aeroplane as replacement parts. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Airbus has issued Service Bulletin 

A320–92A1072, including Appendix 01, 

dated March 13, 2009. The actions 

described in this service information are 

intended to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This 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 issuing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Differences Between the 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 required 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 AD. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because a discrepant terminal 

module could potentially result in an 

in-flight failure of the EFCS, resulting in 

loss of control of the airplane. In 

addition, a discrepant terminal module 

could lead to latent failure of the 

passenger oxygen supply, and 

consequent loss of oxygen supply to the 

masks in the event of an emergency. 

Therefore, we determined that notice 

and opportunity for public comment 

before issuing this AD are impracticable 

and that good cause exists for making 

this amendment effective in fewer than 

30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not precede it by notice and 

opportunity for public comment. We 

invite you to send any written relevant 

data, views, or arguments about this AD. 

Send your comments to an address 

listed under the ADDRESSES section. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2011–0390; 

Directorate Identifier 2011–NM–064– 

AD′′ at the beginning of your comments. 

We specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about 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, 

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 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); 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continued airworthiness 

information (MCAI) states: 

Electrical discontinuity has been detected 

on terminal modules Part Number (P/N) NSA 

937901M1604, manufactured by Deutsch, 

due to an insufficient crimping of the female 

contacts on the shunt, caused by a wrong 

setting of the crimping tool. 

* * * * * 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

potentially result in in-flight failure of the 

Electrical Flight Control System (EFCS) and 

consequent loss of control of the aeroplane. 

In addition, this condition could lead to a 

non detected passenger oxygen loss, which, 

in case of emergency, could result in a large 

number of passenger oxygen masks not being 

supplied with oxygen, possibly causing 

personal injuries. 

Compliance 

(f) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Actions 

(g) Within 600 flight hours after the 

effective date of this AD, identify the 

manufacturing date code of each Deutsch 

module part number (P/N) NSA 

937901M1604 installed on the airplane, 

which can be installed on electronics rack 

103VU, pylon harnesses, S15/19 harnesses 

and/or electronics rack 80VU, as applicable. 

If any module with manufacturing date code 

08–14 is installed on the electronics rack 

103VU, pylon harnesses, or S15/19
