Background 

Transport Canada, which is the 

aviation authority for Canada, has 

issued Transport Canada AD CF–2023– 

34, dated May 25, 2023 (Transport 

Canada AD CF–2023–34) (also referred 

to after this as the MCAI), to correct an 

unsafe condition for all Bombardier, 

Inc., Model BD–100–1A10 airplanes. 

The MCAI states that new or more 

restrictive maintenance tasks have been 

developed. 

Airplanes with certain serial numbers 

were delivered after the maintenance or 

inspection program was revised and 

must comply with the airworthiness 

limitations specified as part of the 

approved type design and referenced on 

the type certificate data sheet; this 

proposed AD therefore does not include 

those airplanes in the applicability. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address failure or degradation of the 

horizontal stabilizer trim actuator 

(HSTA) and motor brake assembly. A 

failed or degraded HSTA or motor brake 

assembly could result in loss of control 

of the airplane. You may examine the 

MCAI in the AD docket at 

regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 

2023–2242. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed the following 

Bombardier service information, which 

describes new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitation maintenance 

tasks that specify inspection and 

overhaul of the HSTA and add flightcycle and flight-hour limitations. 

• Sections 5–10–20, ‘‘Time Limits— 

Supplementary Limitations,’’ and 5–10– 

40, ‘‘Certification Maintenance 

Requirements,’’ of part 2, 

‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of the

‘‘Restoration (Overhaul) of the 

Horizontal-Stabilizer Trim-Actuator 

(HSTA), Part No. C47100–004/–005.’’ 

• Sections 5–10–20, ‘‘Time Limits— 

Supplementary Limitations,’’ and 5–10– 

40, ‘‘Certification Maintenance 

Requirements,’’ of part 2, 

‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of the 

Bombardier Challenger 300 Time 

Limits/Maintenance Check, CH 300, 

Revision 23, dated June 14, 2022, which 

include Task 27–40–00–104*, 

‘‘Restoration (Overhaul) of the 

Horizontal-Stabilizer Trim-Actuator 

(HSTA), Part No. C47100–004 and 

subs,’’ and Task 27–41–05–104*, 

‘‘Restoration (Overhaul) of the 

Horizontal-Stabilizer Trim-Actuator 

(HSTA), Part No. C47100–004/–005.’’ 

• Temporary Revision 5–2–31, dated 

January 31, 2023, which includes Task 

27–40–00–108**, ‘‘Restoration 

(Inspection) of the Horizontal-Stabilizer 

Trim-Actuator (HSTA), Part No. 

C47100–003 and subs.’’ 

• Temporary Revision 5–2–102, dated 

January 31, 2023, which includes Task 

27–40–00–108**, ‘‘Restoration 

(Inspection) of the Horizontal-Stabilizer 

Trim-Actuator (HSTA), Part No. 

C47100–003 and subs.’’ 

These documents are distinct since 

they apply to different airplane models. 

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 ADDRESSES. 

FAA’s Determination 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is approved for operation in 

the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, the FAA has been 

notified of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and service 

information referenced above. The FAA 

is proposing this AD because the FAA 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive 

maintenance tasks. 

This proposed AD would require 

revisions to certain operator 

maintenance documents to add new 

actions (i.e., inspections) and certain 

overhaul time limitations. Compliance 

with these actions is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 19, 2023 / Proposed Rules 87727 

in the areas addressed by this proposed 

AD, the operator may not be able to 

accomplish the actions described in the 

revisions. In this situation, to comply 

with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator 

must request approval for an alternative 

method of compliance according to 

paragraph (i)(1) of this proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 737 

airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA 

estimates the following costs to comply 

with this proposed AD: 

The FAA has determined that revising 

the maintenance or inspection program 

takes an average of 90 work-hours per 

operator, although the agency 

recognizes that this number may vary 

from operator to operator. Since 

operators incorporate maintenance or 

inspection program changes for their 

affected fleet(s), the FAA has 

determined that a per-operator estimate 

is more accurate than a per-airplane 

estimate. Therefore, the agency 

estimates the average total cost per 

operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours × 

$85 per work-hour). 

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. 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would 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, 

Safety. 

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 airworthiness 

directive: 

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA–2023– 

2242; Project Identifier MCAI–2023– 

00704–T. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by February 1, 

2024. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc., 

Model BD–100–1A10 airplanes, certificated 

in any category, having serial numbers 20003 

through 20500 inclusive, and 20501 through 

20959 inclusive. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 05, Time Limits/Maintenance 

Checks; 27, Stabilizer. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a determination 

that new or more restrictive maintenance 

tasks are necessary. The FAA is issuing this 

AD to address failure or degradation of the 

horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA) 

and motor brake assembly. The unsafe 

condition, if not addressed, could result in 

loss of control of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Maintenance or Inspection Program 

Revision 

Within 60 days after the effective date of 

this AD, revise the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate the information specified in 

figure 1 or 2 to paragraph (g) of this AD, as 

applicable. The initial compliance time for 

doing the tasks is at the time specified in the 

applicable temporary revision (TR) or time 

limit/maintenance check (TLMC) document 

specified in figures 1 and 2 to paragraph (g) 

of this AD, or within 60 days after the 

effective date of this AD, whichever occurs 

later. 

Note 1 to paragraph (g): The asterisk (or 

‘‘one star’’) or double asterisk (‘‘two star’’) 

with the last three digits of the task numbers 

listed in figures 1 and 2 to paragraph (g) of 

this AD indicates that the task is an 

airworthiness limitation task.

Operating Network (MON) Program. The 

name of the airport would also be 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s
