Discussion 

We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2014–16–02, 

Amendment 39–17926 (79 FR 46968, 

August 12, 2014) (‘‘AD 2014–16–02’’). 

AD 2014–16–02 applies to certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–1A11 

(CL–600) airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 24, 2015 (80 FR 80293) (‘‘the 

NPRM’’). The NPRM was prompted by 

a determination that it is necessary to 

add a requirement to repair or modify 

the thrust reversers, which would 

terminate the requirements of AD 2014– 

16–02. The NPRM proposed to continue 

to require the actions specified in AD 

2014–16–02. The NPRM also proposed 

to require repair or modification of the 

thrust reversers. This action revises the 

NPRM by reducing the compliance time 

to modify the thrust reversers, and 

adding new modification procedures. 

Actions Since Previous NPRM Was 

Issued 

Since we issued the NPRM, Transport 

Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is 

the aviation authority for Canada, issued 

Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF– 

2014–19R1, dated March 14, 2016 

(referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. 

Model CL–600–1A11 (CL–600) 

airplanes. The MCAI states: 

There have been two reported incidents of 

partial deployment of an engine thrust 

reverser in-flight, caused by a failure of the 

translating sleeve at the thrust reverser 

actuator attachment points. Inspection of the 

same area on some other thrust reversers 

revealed cracks emanating from the holes 

under the nut plates. 

In both incidents, the affected aeroplane 

landed safely without any noticeable 

controllability issues, however structural 

failure of thrust reverser actuator attachment 

points resulting in thrust reverser 

deployment or dislodgment in flight is a 

safety hazard warranting an immediate 

mitigating action. 

To help in mitigating any immediate safety 

hazard, Bombardier Inc. has revised the 

Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) through 

Temporary Revisions (TR) 600/29, 600/30, 

600–1/24 and 600–1/26, to prohibit the thrust 

reverser operation on affected aeroplanes. 

Additionally, as an interim corrective action, 

Bombardier Inc. has issued alert service 

bulletin (ASB) A600–0769 requiring an 

inspection and/or a mechanical lock out of 

the thrust reverser to prevent it from moving 

out of forward thrust mode. 

Original [TCCA] Emergency AD CF–2014– 

19 was issued 20 June 2014 to mandate the 

incorporation of above mentioned revised 

AFM procedures and compliance with ASB 

A600–0769. This [TCCA] AD is now being 

revised to include the terminating action in 

accordance with Part C of the ASB A600– 

0769 Rev 02 dated 22 February 2016. 

We reduced the compliance time for 

modification of the thrust reversers 

specified in paragraph (k) of this 

SNPRM to match the compliance time 

specified in the MCAI. We also added 

new procedures in paragraph (k) of this 

SNPRM for modifying the thrust 

reversers. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

7529. 

Related Service Information Under 

1 CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Bombardier Alert 

Service Bulletin A600–0769, Revision 

02, dated February 22, 2016. The service 

information describes procedures for 

modifying the thrust reversers on both 

engines. The modification includes 

inspections for cracks and elongated 

holes. 

We also reviewed the following TRs, 

which introduce procedures to prohibit 

thrust reverser operation. These 

documents are distinct since they apply 

to different airplane configurations. 

• Canadair TR 600/29–2, dated 

January 18, 2016, to the Canadair CL– 

600–1A11 AFM. 

• Canadair TR 600–1/24–2, dated 

January 18, 2016, to the Canadair CL– 

600–1A11 AFM (Winglets). 

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. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this proposed 

AD. We considered the comments 

received. 

Request To Cite Most Recent Service 

Information 

Bombardier, Inc. requested that we 

revise the proposed AD (in the NPRM) 

to cite the most recent AFMs. 

Bombardier, Inc. explained that the 

AFM TRs mentioned in paragraph (g) of 

the proposed AD (in the NPRM) have 

been revised to include AFM TRs 600/ 

30–2, 600–1/26–2, 600/29–2, and 600– 

1/24–2, all dated January 18, 2016. 

We agree to refer to the revised AFM 

TRs that apply to U.S.-registered 

airplanes in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) 

of this proposed AD. Those TRs are 

Canadair TR 600/29–2, dated January 

18, 2016, to the Canadair CL–600–1A11 

AFM; and Canadair TR 600–1/24–2, 

dated January 18, 2016, to the Canadair 

CL–600–1A11 AFM (Winglets). 

Bombardier, Inc. also requested that 

we refer to Bombardier Alert Service 

Bulletin A600–0769, Revision 02, dated 

February 22, 2016, as described 

previously. 

We agree with the commenter’s 

request. We revised the introductory 

text of paragraph (h) and paragraphs 

(h)(2), (i), and (k) of this proposed AD 

to refer to Bombardier Alert Service 

Bulletin A600–0769, Revision 02, dated 

February 22, 2016. We also clarified the 


pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 13, 2016 / Proposed Rules 89883 

actions specified in paragraphs (h)(2) 

and (i) of this proposed AD by referring 

to Part B of Bombardier Alert Service 

Bulletin A600–0769, Revision 02, dated 

February 22, 2016, for the modification 

specified in those paragraphs. 

In addition, paragraph (k) of the 

proposed AD (in the NPRM) specified 

doing a repair or modification using a 

method approved by the Manager, New 

York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), 

ANE–170, FAA; or Transport Canada 

Civil Aviation (TCCA); or Bombardier, 

Inc.’s TCCA Design Approval 

Organization (DAO). Because Part C of 

Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin 

A600–0769, Revision 02, dated February 

22, 2016, is the appropriate source of 

service information for doing the 

terminating action (i.e., modifying the 

thrust reversers), we have revised 

paragraph (k) of this proposed AD to 

refer to that service information. 

However, under the provisions of 

paragraph (n)(1) of this proposed AD, 

we will consider requests for approval 

of other repairs or modifications if 

sufficient data are submitted to 

substantiate that the repair or 

modification would provide an 

acceptable level of safety. 

Request To Specify Terminating Action 

Bombardier, Inc. requested that we 

revise paragraph (k) of the proposed AD 

(in the NPRM) to specify that doing the 

actions specified in that paragraph 

terminates the requirements of 

paragraph (g) of the proposed AD. 

We agree with the commenter’s 

request. The MCAI states that 

accomplishing the modification in Part 

C of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin 

A600–0769, Revision 02, dated February 

22, 2016, terminates the inspections and 

interim modification. However, we have 

determined that accomplishing the 

actions in Part C of Bombardier Alert 

Service Bulletin A600–0769, Revision 

02, dated February 22, 2016, also 

terminates the requirement for the AFM 

revisions specified in paragraph (g) of 

this proposed AD. The TRs specified in 

paragraph (g) of this proposed AD only 

apply to airplanes on which the actions 

specified in Part C of Bombardier Alert 

Service Bulletin A600–0769, Revision 

02, dated February 22, 2016, have not 

been done. We have revised paragraph 

(k) of this proposed AD accordingly. 

Request To Revise Phone Number and 

Email 

Bombardier, Inc. requested that we 

revise the NPRM to include revised 

contact information for the widebody 

customer response center. 

We agree and have revised the 

ADDRESSES section of this SNPRM and 

paragraph (o)(2) of this proposed AD 

accordingly. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This SNPRM 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of these same 

type designs. 

Certain changes described above 

expand the scope of the NPRM. As a 

result, we have determined that it is 

necessary to reopen the comment period 

to provide additional opportunity for 

the public to comment on this SNPRM. 

Differences Between This SNPRM and 

the MCAI or Service Information 

Part C of Bombardier Alert Service 

Bulletin A600–0769, Revision 02, dated 

February 22, 2016, specifies to do 

certain inspections for cracks and 

elongated holes, but does not specify 

corrective actions for airplanes on 

which any crack or elongated hole is 

found. Paragraph (l) of this proposed AD 

would require that for any cracking or 

elongated hole, a repair be done using 

a method approved by the Manager, 

New York ACO, ANE–170, FAA; or 

TCCA; or Bombardier, Inc.’s TCCA 

DAO. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 18 airplanes of U.S. 

registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

AFM revision; inspection [retained actions 

from AD 2014–16–02].

29 work-hours × $85 per hour = $2,465 ........ N/A $2,465 $44,370 

New modification ............................................. 100 work-hours × $85 per hour = $8,500 ...... $509 9,009 162,162 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary modifications that would 

be required based on the results of the 

proposed inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of airplanes 

that might need this modification: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Modification ....................... 36 work-hours × $85 per hour = $3,060 .................................................................. $509 $3,569 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide cost 

estimates for the on-condition actions 

for the inspections that are part of the 

new modification specified in this 

proposed AD. 

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 


pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS
89884 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 13, 2016 / Proposed Rules 

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 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. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in 

Alaska; and 

4. 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. 

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 

removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2014–16–02, Amendment 39–17926 (79 

FR 46968, August 12, 2014), and adding 

the following new AD: 

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA–2015– 

7529; Directorate Identifier 2014–NM– 

207–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by January 27, 

2017. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD replaces AD 2014–16–02, 

Amendment 39–17926 (79 FR 46968, August 

12, 2014) (‘‘AD 2014–16–02’’). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–600–1A11 (CL–600) airplanes, 

certificated in any category, serial numbers 

1004 through 1085 inclusive. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 78, Engine Exhaust. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports of partial 

deployment of an engine thrust reverser in 

flight caused by a failure of the translating 

sleeve at the thrust reverser attachment 

points. We are issuing this AD to detect and 

correct cracks of the translating sleeve at the 

thrust reverser actuator attachment points, 

which could result in deployment or 

dislodgement of an engine thrust reverser in 

flight and subsequent reduced control of the 

airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Retained Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) 

Revision With Revised Service Information 

This paragraph restates the requirements of 

paragraph (g) of AD 2014–16–02, with 

revised service information. Within 1 

calendar day after August 12, 2014 (the 

effective date of AD 2014–16–02): Revise the 

applicable sections of the AFM to include the 

information specified in the temporary 

revisions (TRs) identified in paragraphs (g)(1) 

and (g)(2) of this AD, as applicable. These 

TRs introduce procedures to prohibit thrust 

reverser operation. Operate the airplane 

according to the limitations and procedures 

in the TRs identified in paragraphs (g)(1) and 

(g)(2) of this AD, as applicable. The revision 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD may be 

done by inserting copies of the applicable 

TRs identified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) 

of this AD into the AFM. When these TRs 

have been included in the general revisions 

of the AFM, the general revisions may be 

inserted in the AFM, provided the relevant
