(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective March 21, 2024. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD replaces AD 2019–16–11, 

Amendment 39–19714 (84 FR 45061, August 

28, 2019) (AD 2019–16–11). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model 

A300 F4–605R and F4–622R airplanes, 

certificated in any category, as identified in 

European Union Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) AD 2023–0117, dated June 13, 2023 

(EASA AD 2023–0117). 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code: 52, Doors. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report of two 

adjacent frame forks that were found cracked 

on the aft lower deck cargo door (LDCD) of 

two airplanes during scheduled maintenance, 

and a determination that certain compliance 

times need to be revised. The FAA is also 

issuing this AD to address the susceptibility 

of the frame forks of affected LDCDs to 

develop cracks, which could lead to 

additional rupture of one or more LDCD 

frame forks, compromising the structural 

integrity of the LDCD and therefore of the 

airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, EASA AD 2023–0117. 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2023–0117 

(1) Where EASA AD 2023–0117 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where Table 2 of EASA AD 2023–0117 

refers to the effective date of EASA AD 2015– 

0152R1, dated May 23, 2017, this AD 

requires using November 5, 2018 (the 

effective date of AD 2018–20–06, 

Amendment 39–19440 (83 FR 49265, October 

1, 2018)). 

(3) Where Table 2 of EASA AD 2023–0117 

refers to the effective date of EASA AD 2015– 

0152, dated July 24, 2015, this AD requires 

using January 26, 2017 (the effective date of 

AD 2016–25–03, Amendment 39–18729 (81 

FR 93801, December 22, 2016)). 

(4) Where paragraph (6) of EASA AD 2023– 

0117 uses the phrase ‘‘before next flight, 

contact Airbus for approved corrective action 

instructions, and within the compliance time 

specified therein, accomplish those 

instructions accordingly,’’ this AD requires 

replacing those words with ‘‘repair cracking 

before further flight using a method approved 

by the Manager, International Validation 

Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus SAS’s 

EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA). 

If approved by the DOA, the approval must

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 32 / Thursday, February 15, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 11723 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–100–1A10 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by a 

report of a steering control unit (SCU) 

filter plate connector that does not meet 

the certification requirements for 

exposure of electronic components to 

high intensity radiated field 

environments, which could result in 

malfunction of the nose wheel steering 

(NWS) system. This AD requires 

determining if the SCU is an affected 

SCU, replacing all affected SCUs, and 

rigging and testing the NWS control. 

This AD also prohibits installing an 

affected SCU on any airplane. The FAA 

is issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 21, 

2024. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of March 21, 2024.

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 all Bombardier, Inc., Model 

BD–100–1A10 airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 13, 2023 (88 FR 77538). The 

NPRM was prompted by AD CF–2023– 

13, dated February 24, 2023, issued by 

Transport Canada, which is the aviation 

authority for Canada (referred to after 

this as the MCAI). The MCAI states that 

the manufacturer of SCU part number 

(P/N) 46000–01 introduced a new filter 

plate connector that does not meet the 

certification requirements related to the 

susceptibility of electronic components 

to high intensity radiated field. 

According to the MCAI, this noncompliant filter plate connector, if not 

replaced, could result in a malfunction 

of the NWS system and cause uncommanded steering or lateral 

excursion from the runway. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

require determining if the SCU is an 

affected SCU, replacing all affected 

SCUs, and rigging and testing the NWS 

control. In the NPRM, the FAA also 

proposed to prohibit installing an 

affected SCU on any airplane. 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–2023–2145. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received no comments on 

the NPRM or on the determination of 

the cost to the public. 

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 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, 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 Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 100–32–34, dated 

October 18, 2021, and Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 350–32–010, dated 

October 18, 2021. This service 

information specifies procedures for 

determining the serial number of SCU 

P/N 46000–01, replacing any affected 

SCU, and rigging and testing the NWS 

control. These documents are distinct 

since they apply to different airplane 

serial numbers. 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 725 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 

9 work-hours × $85 per hour = $765 .......................................................................................... $44,950 $45,715 $33,143,375 

The FAA has included all known 

costs in its cost estimate. According to 

the manufacturer, however, some 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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
11724 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 32 / Thursday, February 15, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 31530; Amdt. No. 4099] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or removes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPS) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

procedures (ODPs) for operations at 

certain airports. These regulatory 

actions are needed because of the 

adoption of new or revised criteria, or 

because of changes occurring in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding new obstacles, or 

changing air traffic requirements. These 

changes are designed to provide safe 

and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace and to promote safe flight 

operations under instrument flight rules 

at the affected airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective February 

15, 2024. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of February 

15, 2024.

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends 14 CFR part 97 by establishing, 

amending, suspending, or removes 

SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or 

ODPS. The complete regulatory 

description of each SIAP and its 

associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP 

for an identified airport is listed on FAA 

form documents which are incorporated 

by reference in this amendment under 5 

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 

CFR 97.20. The applicable FAA Forms 

8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–5, 8260–15A, 

8260–15B, when required by an entry 

on 8260–15A, and 8260–15C. 

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, their complex 

nature, and the need for a special format 

make publication in the Federal 

Register expensive and impractical. 

Further, pilots do not use the regulatory 

text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or 

ODPs, but instead refer to their graphic 

depiction on charts printed by 

publishers or aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP listed on FAA form documents is 

unnecessary. This amendment provides 

the affected CFR sections and specifies 

the types of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums 

and ODPs with their applicable effective 

dates. This amendment also identifies 

the airport and its location, the 

procedure, and the amendment number.
