14 CFR Part 39 

[Docket No. FAA–2005–21624; Directorate

Airworthiness Directives; Turbome ́ca 

S.A. ARRIEL 2B Turboshaft Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Turbome ́ca S.A. ARRIEL 2B turboshaft 

engines. That AD currently requires 

initial and repetitive inspections, 

cleaning, lubrication, and checks for 

proper operation of the hydromechanical unit (HMU) acceleration 

controller axle except on engines that 

incorporate modification TU 132. That 

AD also provides an optional 

terminating action for the repetitive 

inspections. This AD requires the same 

actions, but expands the applicability to 

include all engines that do not 

incorporate modification TU 149. This 

AD results from reports of engines with 

modification TU 132 incorporated 

experiencing stuck controller axles in 

the metering valve body. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent loss of control of 

engine fuel flow in manual control 

mode or mixed control mode, which can 

lead to engine overspeed, and in-flight 

engine shutdown resulting in a forced 

autorotation landing or accident. 

DATES: Effective October 12, 2010. The 

Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of October 12, 2010. 

We must receive any comments on 

this AD by October 27, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

9, 2007, the FAA issued AD 2005–13– 

25R1, Amendment 39–15028 (72 FR 

19110, April 17, 2007). That AD 

requires initial and repetitive 

inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and 

checks for proper operation of the HMU 

acceleration controller axle on engines 

that incorporate modification TU 62A, 

unless the engine incorporates 

modification TU 132. That AD was the 

result of several reports of the HMU 

acceleration controller axle sticking. 

The stuck acceleration controller axle 

resulted in engine overspeed and 

commanded and uncommanded inflight engine shutdowns. That 

condition, if not corrected, could result 

in loss of control of engine fuel flow in 

manual control mode or mixed control 

mode, which can lead to engine 

overspeed, and in-flight engine 

shutdown resulting in a forced 

autorotation landing or accident. 

Actions Since AD 2005–13–25R1 Was 

Issued 

Since we issued AD 2005–13–25R1, 

the European Aviation Safety Authority 

(EASA), which is the airworthiness 

agent for the Member States of the 

European Union, has informed us that 

the manufacturer, Turbome ́ca S.A., has 

reported additional occurrences of stuck 

controller axles in the metering valve 

body. Some of these occurrences 

occurred on engines that incorporated 

modification TU 132. Turbome ́ca S.A. 

introduced modification TU 149 to 

eliminate the cause of the unsafe 

condition on the ARRIEL 2B turboshaft 

engines. This AD requires inspecting 

and lubricating the P3 cover and HMU 

acceleration control axle on HMUs that 

are not modified to TU 149. It also 

approves incorporating modification TU 

149 to eliminate the cause of the unsafe 

condition and the repetitive inspections 

required by this AD. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent loss of control of engine 

fuel flow in the manual or mixed 

control modes, which can lead to engine 

overspeed, and in-flight engine 

shutdown resulting in a forced 

autorotation landing or accident. 

Relevant Service Information 

Turbome ́ca has issued Mandatory 

Service Bulletin A292 73 2814, Version 

D, dated October 16, 2009, that 

describes procedures for inspecting, 

lubricating, and checking for proper 

operation of the HMU acceleration 

controller axle. EASA classified this 

service bulletin as mandatory and 

issued AD 2009–0246, dated November 

10, 2009, in order to assure the 

airworthiness of these ARRIEL 2B 

turboshaft engines in the European 

Union. 

Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement 

This engine model is manufactured in 

France, and is type certificated for 

operation in the United States under the 

provisions of section 21.29 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

21.29) and the applicable bilateral 

airworthiness agreement. Under that 

agreement, EASA has kept us informed 

of the situation described above. We 

have examined EASA’s findings, 

reviewed all available information, and 

determined that AD action is necessary 

for products of this type design that are 

certificated for operation in the United 

States. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

The unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other Turbome ́ca S.A. ARRIEL 2B 

turboshaft engines of the same type 

design. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent loss of control of engine fuel 

flow in the manual control mode or 

mixed control mode, which can lead to 

engine overspeed, and in-flight engine 

shutdown resulting in a forced 

autorotation landing or accident. This 

AD requires initial and repetitive 

inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and 

checks for proper operation of the HMU 

acceleration controller axle. You must 

use the service information described 

previously to perform the actions 

required by this AD. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

Since an unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD, we have found that notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

issuing this AD are impracticable, and 

that good cause exists for making this 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment; 

however, we invite you to send us any 

written relevant data, views, or 

arguments regarding this AD. Send your 

comments to an address listed under 

ADDRESSES. Include ‘‘AD Docket No. 

FAA–2005–21624; Directorate Identifier 

2005–NE–17–AD’’ in the subject line of 

your comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of the rule that might suggest a 

need to modify it. 

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 with FAA 

personnel concerning this AD. Using the 

search function of the Web site, anyone 

can find and read the comments in any 

of our dockets, including the name of 

the individual who sent the comment 

(or signed the comment on behalf of an 

association, business, labor union, etc.). 

You may review the DOT’s complete 

Privacy Act Statement in the Federal 

Register published on April 11, 2000 

(65 FR 19477–78). 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains this AD, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is the same as the Mail 

address provided in the ADDRESSES

section. Comments will be available in 

the AD docket shortly after receipt. 

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 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES

59062 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 186 / Monday, September 27, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

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 have 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 that 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 summary of the costs 

to comply with this AD and placed it in 

the AD Docket. You may get a copy of 

this summary at the address listed 

under ADDRESSES.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD), 

which applies to all Model 750 

airplanes. That AD currently requires 

inspecting the inboard-hinge brackets of 

the left and right elevators for cracking 

and doing related investigative and 

corrective actions if necessary. For 

certain airplanes, this new AD requires 

inspecting for cracks of the bracket of 

the inboard horizontal stabilizer and 

measuring the lug thickness of the 

horizontal stabilizer hinges; doing 

corrective actions if necessary; and 

modifying the left and right elevators 

and left and right horizontal stabilizer. 

For all airplanes, this new AD requires 

replacing the existing elevator
