Airworthiness Directives; Fokker 

Services B.V. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 

0070 and 0100 airplanes. This proposed 

AD was prompted by reports that the 

bracket of the rod in the carbon fiber 

reinforced plastic (CFRP) main landing 

gear (MLG) outboard door had detached. 

In addition, we received reports of 

broken recessed heads on titanium 

attachment bolts of the operating rod 

brackets on the modified CFRP MLG 

outboard doors. This proposed AD 

would require a detailed inspection of 

the CFRP MLG outboard door for play 

or cracks in the recessed countersunk 

heads of the operating rod bracket 

attachment bolts; replacement of the 

bolt if necessary; and, for certain 

airplanes, modification of the CFRP 

MLG outboard doors and attachment to 

the MLG. We are proposing this AD to 

detect and correct the affected MLG 

from moving to the down and locked 

position, which could result in MLG 

collapse during landing or roll-out, and 

consequent damage to the airplane and 

injury to passengers. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by March 20, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued Airworthiness 

Directive 2012–0023, dated February 6, 

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: 

In 2005, several occurrences were reported 

where the bracket of the rod in the Carbon 

Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) MLG 

outboard door had detached, preventing the 

MLG to lock properly when selected down. 

Prompted by these reports, CAA–NL [Civil 

Aviation Authority-Netherlands] issued AD 

NL–2006–001 (EASA approval 2006–0002) to 

require the inspection and modification of 

the attachment of the operating rod bracket 

as detailed in Fokker Service Bulletin (SB) 

SBF100–52–080. 

After that [EASA] AD was issued, several 

operators reported broken recessed heads of 

titanium attachment bolts of the operating 

rod bracket on modified (i.e. post-SBF100– 

52–080) CFRP MLG outboard doors. In such 

a situation, the remaining bolt shafts can get 

pulled through the external repair patch and 

the carbon fibre door outer skin, causing the 

operating rod, with the detached bracket, to 

get stuck between the MLG main fitting and 

wing lower skin. The primary factor to the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

6110 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 22 / Monday, February 3, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

cause of breaking bolt heads has been 

determined to be incorrect adjustment of the 

MLG outboard door. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, would prevent the affected MLG 

from moving to the down and locked 

position, possibly resulting in MLG collapse 

during landing or roll-out and consequent 

damage to the aeroplane and/or injury to the 

occupants. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Fokker Services has published SBF100–52– 

090, providing modification instructions to 

install an improved attachment of the MLG 

outboard door operating rod. 

For the reasons described above, this new 

[EASA] AD requires a one-time detailed 

inspection for play or cracks in the recessed 

bolt heads and, depending on findings, 

applicable corrective actions, modification of 

the operating rod bracket attachment to the 

CFRP MLG outboard door, and introduction 

of a weaker (aluminium) bolt in the 

attachment of the MLG outboard door 

operating rod. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating it in Docket No. FAA– 

2014–0007. 

Relevant Service Information 

Fokker Services B.V. has issued the 

following service information: 

• Fokker Component Service Bulletin 

D13312–52–09, December 12, 2005; 

• Fokker Component Service Bulletin 

D13312–52–015, dated November 17, 

2011; and 

• Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100– 

52–090, dated November 17, 2011, 

including Fokker Manual Change 

Notification F100–147, dated October 

28, 2011, and Fokker Service Bulletin 

Change Notification SBF100–52– 

090101, dated January 24, 2012. 

The actions described in this service 

information are intended to correct the 

unsafe condition identified in the 

MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

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 the same 

type design. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI or Service Information 

Paragraph (2) of the MCAI specifies to 

‘‘accomplish one of the actions specified 

in paragraph B of part 1 of the 

accomplishment instructions of Fokker 

Services SBF100–52–090’’ before further 

flight. However, this proposed AD 

requires (before further flight) replacing 

the operating rod bracket attachment 

with a new bolt, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin SBF100–52–090, dated 

November 17, 2011, including Fokker 

Manual Change Notification F100–147, 

dated October 28, 2011, including 

Fokker Service Bulletin Change 

Notification SBF100–52–090101, dated 

January 24, 2012. This difference has 

been coordinated with EASA. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 4 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 

Modification ............................. 12 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,020 ................................ $10,000 $11,020 $44,080 

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 proposed 

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.
