Airworthiness Directives; DAHER 

(Type Certificate Previously Held by 

SOCATA) Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016–08– 

08 for all SOCATA (type certificate now 

held by DAHER) Model MS 880B, MS 

885, MS 892A–150, MS 892E–150, MS 

893A, MS 893E, MS 894A, MS 894E, 

Rallye 100S, Rallye 150ST, Rallye 150T, 

Rallye 235C, and Rallye 235E airplanes. 

AD 2016–08–08 required doing 

repetitive detailed visual inspections of 

the intersection between the axle radius 

and the nose landing gear (NLG) fork 

area for chafing; doing repetitive dye 

penetrant inspections on the NLG wheel 

axle for cracks, distortion, and nicks or 

wear; doing corrective actions if 

necessary; and replacing the NLG wheel 

axle attachment screws with new 

screws. This AD is prompted by the 

introduction of a new inspection 

method and a new design for the 

affected NLG wheel axle that provides 

terminating action for the repetitive 

inspections, as specified in updated 

service information published by the 

manufacturer. This AD requires 

preparing, inspecting, replacing, 

reconditioning the NLG wheel axle, and 

prohibiting affected parts. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective November 

26, 2024. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of November 26, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2016–08–08, 

Amendment 39–18484 (81 FR 21711, 

April 13, 2016) (AD 2016–08–08). AD 

2016–08–08 applied to SOCATA (type 

certificate now held by DAHER) Model 

MS 880B, MS 885, MS 892A–150, MS 

892E–150, MS 893A, MS 893E, MS 

894A, MS 894E, Rallye 100S, Rallye 

150ST, Rallye 150T, Rallye 235C, and 

Rallye 235E airplanes. 

AD 2016–08–08 was prompted by 

MCAI originated by European Union 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which 

is the Technical Agent for the Member 

States of the European Union. EASA 

issued AD 2015–0203, dated October 7, 

2015 (EASA AD 2015–0203) to correct 

an unsafe condition identified as fatigue 

failure of the NLG wheel axle. EASA AD 

2015–0203 was prompted by an NLG 

wheel axle failure that occurred in 

service. The investigation revealed that 

this failure was due to fatigue caused by 

premature wear. EASA AD 2015–0203 

required retaining the requirements of 

Direction Ge ́ne ́rale de l’Aviation Civile 

(DGAC) France AD 91–163(A)R2, dated 

March 30, 1994, which was superseded, 

but required those actions to be 

accomplished within reduced intervals. 

AD 2016–08–08 required doing 

repetitive detailed visual inspections of 

the intersection between the axle radius 

and the NLG fork area for chafing; doing 

repetitive dye penetrant inspections on 

the NLG wheel axle for cracks, 

distortion, and nicks or wear; corrective 

actions if necessary; and replacing the 

NLG wheel axle attachment screws with 

new screws. The FAA issued AD 2016– 

08–08 to address chafing and cracking 

of the NLG wheel axle, which could 

lead to failure of the NLG with 

consequent damage to the airplane and/ 

or injury to occupants. 

Since the FAA issued AD 2016–08– 

08, EASA superseded EASA AD 2015– 

0203 and issued EASA AD 2023–0080, 

dated April 17, 2023 (EASA AD 2023– 

0080) (also referred to as the MCAI) to 

correct an unsafe condition for all 

DAHER AEROSPACE Model MS 880 B, 

MS 880 B–D, MS 881, MS 883, MS 884, 

MS 885, MS 886, MS 887, MS 890 A, 

MS 890 B, MS 892 A.150, MS 892 

B.150, MS 892 E.150, MS 892 E–D.150, 

MS 893 A, MS 893 B, MS 893 E, MS 893 

E–D, MS 894 A, MS 894 E, RALLYE 100 

S, RALLYE 100 S–D, RALLYE 100 ST,

RALLYE 180 T–D, RALLYE 235 A, 

RALLYE 235 F, RALLYE 235 E, and 

RALLYE 235 E–D airplanes. 

The MCAI states that it retains the 

requirements of EASA AD 2015–0203 

but introduces a new inspection method 

and a new design of the NLG wheel axle 

as a terminating action for the repetitive 

detailed inspections. You may examine 

the MCAI in the AD docket at 

regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 

2024–1480. 

The NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on June 4, 2024 (89 FR 47879). 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
84278 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

retain none of the requirements of AD 

2016–08–08. The NPRM proposed to 

require repetitively inspecting the NLG 

wheel axle and, if chafing, cracking, or 

damage was found, installing the newly 

designed NLG wheel axle and 

attachment screws, which would 

terminate the actions specified in the 

proposed AD. The NPRM also proposed 

a magnetic particle inspection after a 

visual inspection if no damage was 

found, or when installing an airworthy 

part that was previously in service. The 

NPRM also proposed to require 

repetitively replacing the NLG wheel 

axle attachment screws. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received no comments on 

the NPRM or on the determination of 

the costs. 

Change Since NPRM Was Published 

The NPRM proposed to require 

repetitively replacing the NLG wheel 

axle attachment screws every 2,000 

hours time-in-service (TIS). The FAA reevaluated this requirement and 

determined that clarification of the 

intent of this requirement is needed. 

The FAA revised paragraph (i) of this 

AD to clarify that any screw found to be 

distorted, scratched, nicked, or worn 

during any repetitive inspection 

required by paragraph (h)(1) of this AD 

must be replaced before further flight. If 

no screw is found to be distorted, 

scratched, nicked, or worn during any 

repetitive inspection required by 

paragraph (h)(1) of this AD, all of the 

NLG wheel axle attachment screws must 

be replaced initially before exceeding 

2,000 hours TIS total on the airplane; 

before exceeding 2,000 hours TIS since 

the last time the attachment screws were 

replaced; or within 50 hours TIS after 

the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs later, and repetitively thereafter 

at intervals not to exceed 2,000 hours 

TIS after the last replacement. 

Conclusion 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are 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 these 

products. Except for the change 

described previously, this AD is 

adopted as proposed in the NPRM. This 

change will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Daher Service 

Bulletin SB 150, Revision 4, dated 

January 2023. This material specifies 

procedures for preparing, inspecting, 

replacing, and reconditioning the NLG 

wheel axle. This material also specifies 

procedures for replacing the NLG wheel 

axle attachment screws. 

This material 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. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI 

The applicability of the MCAI 

includes DAHER AEROSPACE Model 

MS 886, MS 887, MS 890 A, MS 890 B, 

MS 892 B.150, MS 892 E–D.150, MS 893 

B, MS 893 E–D, RALLYE 100 S–D, 

RALLYE 100 ST, RALLYE 100 ST–D, 

RALLYE 110 ST, RALLYE 150 ST–D, 

RALLYE 150 T–D, RALLYE 150 SV, 

RALLYE 150 SVS, RALLYE 180 T, 

RALLYE 180 TS, RALLYE 180 T–D, 

RALLYE 235 A, RALLYE 235 F, and 

RALLYE 235 E–D airplanes and the 

applicability of this AD does not 

because these models do not have an 

FAA type certificate. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 32 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Magnetic particle inspection ................... 1 work-hour × $85 per 

hour = $85.

$100 ............................. $185 ............................. $5,920. 

Inspection of the NLG wheel bearing 

and axle surface and attachment 

screws.

2 work-hours × $85 per 

hour = $170 (per inspection cycle).

$100 ............................. $270 (per inspection 

cycle).

$8,640. 

NLG wheel axle attachment screw replacement.1 work-hour × $85 per 

hour = $85 (per 

cycle).

$50 (per cycle) ............. $135 (per cycle) ........... $4,320 (per cycle). 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary action that 

would be required based on the results 

of the inspections. The agency has no 

way of determining the number of 

airplanes that might need this action: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Installation of a nose gear wheel axle (including NLG 

wheel spacer) and attachment screw replacement.

2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ........................... $1,000 $1,170 

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. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 84279 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA has 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) 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.

adopting an updated Filer Manual, 

Volume II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 71 

(September 2024) and amendments to 

17 CFR 232.301 (‘‘Rule 301’’). The 

updated Filer Manual is incorporated by 

reference into the Code of Federal 

Regulations. 

I. Background 

The Filer Manual contains 

information needed for filers to make 

submissions on EDGAR. Filers must 

comply with the applicable provisions 

of the Filer Manual in order to assure 

the timely acceptance and processing of 

filings made in electronic format.1 Filers 

must consult the Filer Manual in 

conjunction with our rules governing 

mandated electronic filings when 

preparing documents for electronic 

submission. 

II. EDGAR System Changes and 

Associated Modifications to Volume II 

of the Filer Manual 

EDGAR is being updated in EDGAR 

Release 24.3 and corresponding 

amendments to Volume II of the Filer 

Manual are being made to reflect these 

changes, as described below.2

Allowance of Co-registrants in a Draft 

Registration Statement in Certain 

Circumstances 

On January 24, 2024, the SEC adopted 

rules related to initial public offerings 

by special purpose acquisition 

companies (‘‘SPACs’’) and subsequent 

business combination transactions 

between SPACs and private operating 

companies (‘‘de-SPAC transactions’’).3

Under the rules, the private operating 

company in a de-SPAC transaction 

would be, in some instances, a coregistrant for purposes of the 

registration statement filed in 

connection with the de-SPAC 

transaction. EDGAR will be updated to 

permit co-registrants in a draft 

registration submission. 

Registered Security-Based Swap 

Execution Facilities’ Chief Compliance 

Officer Reports and Financial Resource 

Reports Using Inline XBRL 

EDGAR will be updated to allow 

registered security-based swap 

execution facilities (‘‘SBSEFs’’) to file 

chief compliance officer reports and 

financial resource reports using Inline 

XBRL. Chief compliance officer reports 

and amendments will be filed as 

SBSEF–CCO–RPT and SBSEF–CCO– 

RPT/A submissions, respectively. 

Quarterly financial resource reports and 

amendments, and financial resource 

reports pursuant to Commission 

requests and amendments will be filed
