Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca 

S.A. Turboshaft Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 2C1, 2C2, and 

2S2 turboshaft engines. This AD 

requires replacement of affected digital 

engine control units (DECUs). This AD 

was prompted by a report of a helicopter 

experiencing a DECU malfunction 

during flight. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent loss of automatic control on one 

or both engines installed on the same 

helicopter, which could result in an 

uncommanded in-flight engine 

shutdown, forced autorotation landing, 

or accident. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 

26, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: The Docket Operations 

office is located at Docket Management 

Facility, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE., West Building Ground 

Floor, Room W12–140, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on February 21, 2012 (77 FR 

9874). That NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. European Aviation Safety 

Agency AD 2011–0249 states: 

An incident has been reported of a 

helicopter which experienced a Digital 

Engine Control Unit (DECU) malfunction in 

flight from one of its Arriel 2C1 engines. The 

indicating system of the helicopter displayed 

a ‘‘FADEC FAIL’’ message, with a concurrent 

loss of automatic control of the engine. The 

mission was aborted and the helicopter 

returned to its base without any further 

incident. 

The subsequent technical investigations 

carried out by Turbomeca revealed that a 

Digital Engine Control Unit (DECU) assembly 

non-conformity was at the origin of this 

event. Further investigations performed with 

the supplier of the DECU led to the 

conclusion that only a limited number of 

DECU are potentially affected by the nonconformity. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (77 

FR 9874, February 21, 2012). 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this AD will affect about 

two engines installed on helicopters of 

U.S. registry. We also estimate that it 

will take about one work-hour per 

engine to comply with this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts will cost about $12,551 

per engine. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of the AD on U.S. 

operators to be $25,272. Our cost 

estimate is exclusive of possible 

warranty coverage. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
37284 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 120 / Thursday, June 21, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

We 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 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 regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

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 (phone: 

(800) 647–5527) is provided in the 

ADDRESSES section. Comments will be 

available in the AD docket shortly after 

receipt.

(d) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a report of a 

helicopter experiencing a DECU malfunction 

during flight. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent loss of automatic control on one or 

both engines installed on the same 

helicopter, which could result in an 

uncommanded in-flight engine shutdown, 

forced autorotation landing, or accident. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) For any helicopter fitted with two 

DECUs listed in Table 1 of this AD: 

(i) Within 50 engine hours after the 

effective date of this AD, replace one of the 

two DECUs with a DECU that is not listed in 

Table 1 of this AD. 

(ii) Within 1,000 engine hours or 12 

months after the effective date of this AD, 

whichever occurs first, replace the other 

DECU with a DECU that is not listed in Table 

1 of this AD. 

(2) For any helicopter fitted with one 

DECU listed in Table 1 of this AD, within 

1,000 engine hours or 12 months after the 

effective date of this AD, whichever occurs 

first, replace the DECU with a DECU that is 

not listed in Table 1 of this AD. 

(f) Installation Prohibition 

From the effective date of this AD, do not 

install a DECU listed in Table 1 of this AD 

onto any engine, and do not install any 

engine having a DECU listed in Table 1 of 

this AD, onto a helicopter. 

(g) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

The Manager, Engine Certification Office, 

may approve AMOCs for this AD. Use the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to make 

your request.
