Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca 

S.A. Turboshaft Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2014–01– 

01 for all Turbomeca S.A. Arrius 2F 

turboshaft engines. AD 2014–01–01 

required a one-time inspection of the 

ejector assembly nozzle of certain serial 

number (S/N) lubricating devices and, if 

a discrepancy was found, removal and 

replacement of the affected ejector 

assembly nozzle with a part eligible for 

installation. This AD requires the same 

action as AD 2014–01–01 and expands 

the list of affected S/N lubricating 

devices. This AD was prompted by the 

determination that additional 

lubricating devices, identifiable by S/N, 

may have an incorrect bonding of the 

nozzle on the ejector assembly. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent failure of the 

ejector assembly nozzle, which could 

lead to an in-flight shutdown (IFSD) of 

the engine, damage to the engine, and 

damage to the helicopter. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 12, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of June 12, 2015.

Discussion 

On January 2, 2014, we issued AD 

2014–01–01, Amendment 39–17724 (79 

FR 3481, January 22, 2014), (‘‘AD 2014– 

01–01’’), for all Turbomeca S.A. Arrius 

2F turboshaft engines. AD 2014–01–01 

required a one-time inspection of the 

ejector assembly nozzle of certain S/N 

lubricating devices and, if a discrepancy 

was found, removal and replacement of 

the affected ejector assembly nozzle 

with a part eligible for installation. AD 

2014–01–01 resulted from an IFSD of an 

Arriel 1 engine. We issued AD 2014–01– 

01 to prevent failure of the ejector 

assembly nozzle, which could lead to an 

IFSD of the engine, damage to the 

engine, and damage to the helicopter. 

Actions Since AD 2014–01–01 Was 

Issued 

Since we issued AD 2014–01–01 it 

has been determined that additional 

lubricating devices, identifiable by S/N, 

may have the same unsafe condition, an 

incorrect bonding of the nozzle on the 

ejector assembly. Also since we issued 

AD 2014–01–01, the European Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) has issued AD 

2015–0057, dated April 1, 2015, which 

requires inspection, and replacement as 

necessary, of the affected lubricating 

devices. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Turbomeca S.A. 

Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. 

319 79 4835, Version B, dated February 

12, 2015. The MSB describes procedures 

for inspecting the ejector assembly 

nozzle and, if necessary, replacing the 

ejector assembly nozzle. This service 

information is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section of this AD. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires a one-time 

inspection of the ejector assembly 

nozzle of certain S/N lubricating devices 

and, for any ejector assembly nozzle that 

fails inspection, removal and 

replacement with a part eligible for 

installation. 

FAA’s Justification and 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 of the short compliance 

time requirement. Therefore, we find 

that notice and opportunity for prior 

public comment are impracticable and 

that good cause exists for making this 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 96 

engines installed on helicopters of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it will 

take about 1 hour per engine to comply 

with this AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per hour. Required parts cost about 

$563 per engine. Based on these figures, 

we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators to be $62,208. 

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 

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 to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference,

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends part 39 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (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 

removing airworthiness directive (AD) 

2014–01–01, Amendment 39–17724 (79 

FR 3481, January 22, 2014), and adding 

the following new AD: 

2015–10–07 Turbomeca S.A.: Amendment 

39–18163; Docket No. FAA–2013–1003; 

Directorate Identifier 2013–NE–33–AD.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 102 / Thursday, May 28, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 30349 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective June 12, 2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD supersedes AD 2014–01–01, 

Amendment 39–17724 (79 FR 3481, January 

22, 2014). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Turbomeca S.A. 

Arrius 2F turboshaft engines. 

(d) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by the 

determination that additional lubricating 

devices, identifiable by serial number (S/N), 

may have an incorrect bonding of the nozzle 

on the ejector assembly. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent failure of the ejector assembly 

nozzle, which could lead to an in-flight 

shutdown of the engine, damage to the 

engine, and damage to the helicopter. 

(e) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(1) For engines equipped with a lubricating 

device having an S/N listed in Figure 1 to 

paragraph (e) of this AD, within 30 days after 

the effective date of this AD, inspect the 

ejector assembly nozzle and the tightening 

torque. Use paragraphs 4.4.2.1 through 

4.4.2.3.4.2 of Turbomeca Mandatory Service 

Bulletin (MSB) No. 319 79 4835, Version B, 

dated February 12, 2015, to do the 

inspection. 

(2) For any part that fails the inspection 

required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD, 

before further flight, remove and replace the 

failed part with a part eligible for installation.
