AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002–23– 

19 for all Dassault Aviation Model 

FALCON 2000 series airplanes. AD 

2002–23–19 required repetitive 

operational tests, repetitive 

measurements, and repetitive 

replacement of certain jackscrews. This 

new AD requires revising the 

maintenance program to incorporate 

new or revised maintenance 

requirements and airworthiness 

limitations. This AD was prompted by 

the manufacturer revising the airplane 

maintenance manual (AMM) 

maintenance requirements and 

airworthiness limitations. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent reduced 

controllability of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 

7, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of April 7, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2002–23–19, 

Amendment 39–12963 (67 FR 71452, 

December 2, 2002). AD 2002–23–19 

applied to all Dassault Aviation Model 

FALCON 2000 series airplanes. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on July 12, 2013 (78 FR 41882). 

The NPRM proposed to revise the 

maintenance program to incorporate 

new or revised maintenance 

requirements and airworthiness 

limitations. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2012–0156, 

dated August 23, 2012 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products. The MCAI 

states: 

The airworthiness limitations and 

maintenance requirements for the Falcon 

2000 type design are included in Dassault 

Aviation Falcon 2000 (F2000) Aircraft 

Maintenance Manual (AMM) chapter 5–40 

and are approved by the European Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA). EASA issued AD 

2008–0221 [http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/

easa_ad_2008_0221_Corrected.pdf/AD_

2008–0221_1] to require accomplishment of 

the maintenance tasks, and implementation 

of the airworthiness limitations, as specified 

in Dassault Aviation F2000 AMM chapter 5– 

40 at revision 12. 

Since that [EASA] AD was issued, Dassault 

Aviation have issued F2000 AMM chapter 5– 

40 at revision 17, which introduces new or 

more restrictive maintenance requirements 

and/or airworthiness limitations. 

Dassault Aviation AMM chapter 5–40 

revision 17 contains among other changes the 

following requirements: 

—Inspection and test of horizontal 

stabilizer jackscrew; 

—Operational test of voltage monitoring 

circuits; 

—Upgrade of screwjack of flap actuators 

from the older to the latest -3 version; 

—Revised Time Between Overhaul for 

screwjack of flap actuators -3 version; 

—Revised interval for checking the screw/ 

nut play on screwjack of flap actuators -3 

version; 

—Removal of service life limit for 

screwjack of flap actuators; 

—Test of flap asymmetry protection 

system. Compliance with the flap asymmetry 

test is required by DGAC [Direction Ge ́ne ́rale 

de l’Aviation Civile] France AD F–1999–038– 

008(B)R1 [which can be found in the AD 

docket at http://www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-0466-0002. 

F2000 AMM chapter 5–40 at revision 17 

introduces extended inspection interval; 

—Inspection procedures of fuselage and 

wings; 

—Check of overpressure tightness on 

pressurization control regulating valves. 

Compliance with this check is required by 

EASA AD 2008–0072 [http://

ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2008_

0072.pdf/AD_2008-0072_1]. F2000 AMM 

chapter 5–40 at revision 17 introduces 

extended inspection interval. 

The maintenance tasks and airworthiness 

limitations, as specified in the F2000 AMM 

chapter 5–40, have been identified as 

mandatory actions for continued 

airworthiness of the F2000 type design. 

Failure to comply with AMM chapter 5–40 

at revision 17 might constitute an unsafe 

condition. 

* * * * * 

The required action is revising the 

maintenance program to incorporate all 

airworthiness limitations and 

maintenance tasks specified in Chapter 

5–40, Airworthiness Limitations, 

Revision 18, dated July 2012, of Chapter 

5, Maintenance Planning Document, of 

the Dassualt Falcon 2000 Maintenance 

Manual. You may examine the MCAI in

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (78 

FR 41882, July 12, 2013) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Explanation of Changes to This Final 

Rule 

After the NPRM (78 FR 41882, July 

12, 2013) was published, we determined 

that it was not necessary to retain the 

requirements of AD 2010–26–05, 

Amendment 39–16544 (75 FR 79952, 

December 21, 2010), in this final rule. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

11694 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 41 / Monday, March 3, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

Paragraphs (g), (h), and (i) of the NPRM 

were not carried over into this final rule, 

and the paragraphs that were carried 

over into this final rule have been 

redesignated accordingly. 

We have concluded that the actions 

required by this final rule address the 

unsafe condition. 

Because paragraphs (g), (h), and (i) of 

the NPRM (78 FR 41882, July 12, 2013) 

were not carried over into this final rule, 

we revised the Costs of Compliance 

paragraph in this final rule to omit the 

costs associated with those paragraphs. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously, 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 

41882, July 12, 2013) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 41882, 

July 12, 2013). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 229 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate that it takes about 1 

work-hour per product to comply with 

the basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be 

$19,465, or $85 per product. 

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 

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 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); 

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.

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 certain Diamond Aircraft 

Industries GmbH Models DA 42 NG and 

DA 42 M–NG airplanes. That NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 6, 2013 (78 FR 66666). That 

NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products and 

was based on mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country. The MCAI states: 

During maintenance troubleshooting of the 

DA 42 NG alternator indication system it has 

been discovered that, with one alternator 

inoperative, the system did not give a 

warning indication as described in the 

Airplane Flight Manual. 

Subsequent investigation results showed 

that the voltage regulator warning circuit,
