Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc., Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–700–1A10 

and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by reports that the nose 

wheel steering selector valve (SSV) can 

be slow to deactivate under low 

temperature conditions. This AD 

requires replacing the affected SSV with 

a re-designed SSV that has an improved 

response time. The FAA is issuing this 

AD to address the unsafe condition on 

these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective February 6, 

2024. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of February 6, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: 

AD Docket: You may examine the AD 

docket at regulations.gov under Docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model 

BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on August 9, 2023 (88 

FR 53823). The NPRM was prompted by 

AD CF–2023–02, dated January 11, 

2023, issued by Transport Canada, 

which is the aviation authority for 

Canada (referred to after this as the 

MCAI). The MCAI states that following 

a runway excursion on a different 

model, an investigation revealed that 

the nose wheel SSV can be slow to 

deactivate under low temperature 

conditions. A similar SSV is installed 

on the airplanes to which this AD is 

applicable. In the event of an uncommanded steering input, a slow SSV 

deactivation could lead to a delayed 

transition to free caster mode and result 

in an aircraft runway excursion. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

require replacing the affected SSV with 

a re-designed SSV that has an improved 

response time. The FAA is issuing this 

AD to address the unsafe condition on 

these products. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1706. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received a comment from 

NetJets. The following presents the 

comment received on the NPRM and the 

FAA’s response. 

Request To Add Bombardier Part 

Numbers 

NetJets suggested adding Bombardier 

part numbers GW415–6275–1 & 

GW415–6275–3 to paragraph (g) of the 

proposed AD, in addition to Safran part 

numbers, as stated in SB 700–32–6021, 

paragraph 3., MATERIAL 

INFORMATION. NetJets stated that, at 

new aircraft delivery, the Bombardier 

part numbers are provided in the 

documentation of the aircraft. The FAA 

infers that NetJets would like to ensure 

the proper identification of the parts. 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 1 / Tuesday, January 2, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 15 

The FAA concurs with the suggestion. 

To aid in identifying the parts, 

paragraph (g) of this AD has been 

changed to add the referenced 

Bombardier part numbers. 

Conclusion 

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, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA 

reviewed the relevant data, considered 

the comments received, and determined 

that air safety requires adopting this AD 

as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on this product. Except for 

minor editorial changes, and any other 

changes described previously, this AD is 

adopted as proposed in the NPRM. 

None of the changes will increase the 

economic burden on any operator. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed the following 

Bombardier service information. 

• Service Bulletin 700–32–044, 

Revision 01, dated December 7, 2022. 

• Service Bulletin 700–32–6021, 

Revision 01, dated December 7, 2022. 

• Service Bulletin 700–32–6507, 

Revision 01, dated December 7, 2022. 

• Service Bulletin 700–1A11–32–031, 

Revision 01, dated December 7, 2022. 

• Service Bulletin 700–32–5021, 

Revision 01, dated December 7, 2022. 

• Service Bulletin 700–32–5507, 

Revision 01, dated December 7, 2022. 

This service information specifies 

procedures for replacing the affected 

SSV with a re-designed SSV. These 

documents are distinct since they apply 

to different airplane configurations. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 442 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product Cost on U.S. operators 

4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ................................ $5,542 $5,882 Up to $2,599,844. 

The FAA has included all known 

costs in its cost estimate. According to 

the manufacturer, however, some or all 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected operators. 

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 

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) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, 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.
