AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008–08– 

09 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 

440) airplanes. AD 2008–08–09 required 

revising the airworthiness limitations 

(AWL) section of the Instructions for 

Continued Airworthiness by 

incorporating procedures for repetitive 

functional tests of the pilot input lever 

of the pitch feel simulator (PFS) units 

and corrective actions if necessary. This 

new AD requires replacing certain PFS 

units with new redesigned PFS units, 

which would terminate the repetitive 

functional tests; and both adding and 

removing certain airplanes from the 

applicability. This AD was prompted by 

reports that the shear pin in the input 

lever of several PFS units failed due to 

fatigue; and by the development of a redesigned PFS unit, which eliminates the 

need for repetitive functional tests. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent 

undetected failure of the shear pins of 

both PFS units simultaneously, which 

could result in loss of pitch feel forces 

and consequent reduced control of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

August 19, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of August 19, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2008–08–09, 

Amendment 39–15461 (73 FR 19979, 

April 14, 2008). AD 2008–08–09 applied 

to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL– 

600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 

440) airplanes. The NPRM published in 

the Federal Register on April 9, 2013 

(78 FR 21074). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2005–41R1, 

dated May 10, 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 shear pin in the input lever of several 

Pitch Feel Simulators (PFS) units has failed 

due to fatigue. The shear pin failure is not 

always detectable by the flight crew in 

normal operation. Failure of the shear pins in 

both PFS units on an aeroplane could result 

in loss of pitch feel forces and reduced 

controllability of the aeroplane. 

Recently, Transport Canada has certified 

the new design of the PFS unit—part number 

(P/N) 601R92300–7 as a terminating action. 

Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD mandates 

the retrofit of all in-service CL–600–2B19 

aeroplanes with the redesigned PFS unit. 

Required actions include revising the 

AWLs section of the Instructions for 

Continued Airworthiness, repetitive 

functional testing of the pilot input 

lever of the PFS unit, and corrective 

actions if necessary, and replacing the 

PFS units having part number (P/N) 

601R92300–3 (vendor P/N TY1910– 

50A) or 601R92300–5 (vendor P/N 

TY1910–51A) with PFS units having 

P/N 601R92300–7 (vendor P/N TY1910– 

54A), which terminates the actions 

required by AD 2008–08–09, 

Amendment 39–15461 (73 FR 19979, 

April 14, 2008). This AD also adds 

airplanes having serial numbers (S/Ns) 

7991 through 7999 inclusive, and 

removes airplanes having S/Ns 8111 

and subsequent. You may examine the 

MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet 

at http://www.regulations.gov/

#!docketDetail;D=FAA-2013-0296. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (78 FR 21074, 

April 9, 2013) and the FAA’s response 

to each comment. 

Request To Revise the Applicability by 

Adding Part Numbers 

Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation 

(Air Wisconsin) requested that we revise 

paragraph (c) of the proposed AD (78 FR 

21074, April 9, 2013) by adding the part 

numbers of the PFS units, in addition to 

the airplane serial numbers. Air 

Wisconsin stated that the part numbers 

that should be added are P/N 

601R92300–3 (vendor P/N TY1910– 

50A) and P/N 601R92300–5 (vendor 

P/N TY1910–51A). Air Wisconsin 

provided no justification for this 

request. 

We do not agree to add the requested 

part numbers to the applicability of this 

AD. The functional check of the input 

lever required by this AD must be done 

on all airplanes having the serial 

numbers identified in the applicability 

of this AD. We have made no changes 

to paragraph (c) of this AD in this 

regard. 

Request To Clarify Instructions 

Regarding Airworthiness Limitations 

Air Wisconsin requested that we 

clarify how an operator is to update the 

AWLs when the task for doing the 

functional test of the PFS unit was 

deleted. Air Wisconsin stated that 

paragraph (g) of the proposed AD (78 FR 

21074, April 9, 2013) refers to Task 

R27–31–A024–01, which was deleted by 

Bombardier on February 23, 2007. Air 

Wisconsin pointed out that Task R27– 

31–A024–01 was specified in 

Bombardier Temporary Revision (TR) 

2B–1784, dated October 24, 2003, to the 

Canadair CL–600–2B19 Regional Jet 

Maintenance Requirements Manual, 

Part 2, Appendix B, which is no longer 

available or relevant. 

We agree. We removed proposed 

paragraph (g) (78 FR 21074, April 9, 

2013) from this AD, and redesignated 

subsequent paragraphs accordingly. The 

functional test specified in paragraph 

(h) of the proposed AD (78 FR 21074, 

April 9, 2013) (redesignated as 

paragraph (g) of this AD) is now 

required in paragraph (g) of this AD. 

Request To Revise Applicability To 

Exclude a Certain Serial Number 

Air Wisconsin requested that we 

revise paragraph (h) of the proposed AD 

(78 FR 21074, April 9, 2013) 

(redesignated as paragraph (g) of this 

AD) to match the Effectivity section of 

Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin 

A601R–27–144, Revision E, dated 

October 2, 2012. Air Wisconsin stated 

that paragraph (h) of the proposed AD 

applies to airplanes having S/Ns 7003 

through 7990 inclusive, and S/Ns 8000 

through 8111 inclusive. Air Wisconsin 

stated that, while the Effectivity section 

of the service information varies 

between revisions, Bombardier Alert 

Service Bulletin A601R–27–144, 

Revision E, dated October 2, 2012, 

excludes the airplane having S/N 8111. 

We agree with Air Wisconsin’s 

request to revise the applicability of this 

final rule for the reason provided. We 

have confirmed that the airplane having 

S/N 8111 is not affected by the unsafe 

condition addressed by this AD. 

Therefore, we have revised paragraphs 

(c) and (g) of this AD (designated as 

paragraphs (c) and (h) of the proposed 

AD (78 FR 21074, April 9, 2013)) to 

remove the airplane having S/N 8111. 

We have coordinated this change with 

TCCA and Bombardier. 

Request To Clarify Instructions 

Regarding Functional Test 

Air Wisconsin requested that we 

clarify how an operator is to perform the 

functional test identified in paragraph 

(j) of the proposed AD (78 FR 21074, 

April 9, 2013) (redesignated as 

paragraph (i) of this AD) when the task 

for the functional test has been deleted. 

Air Wisconsin stated that paragraph (j) 

of the proposed AD refers to Task R27– 

31–A024–01, which was deleted by 

Bombardier on February 23, 2007. Air 

Wisconsin stated that this task was 

specified in Bombardier TR 2B–1784, 

dated October 24, 2003, to the Canadair 

CL–600–2B19 Regional Jet Maintenance 

Requirements Manual, Part 2, Appendix 

B, which is no longer available or 

relevant. 

We agree for the reason stated by Air 

Wisconsin. We have revised paragraph 

(i) of this AD (designated as paragraph 

(j) in the proposed AD (78 FR 21074, 

April 9, 2013)) by removing the 

reference to Task R27–31–A024–01. 

Request To Revise Wording in 

Paragraph (k) of the Proposed AD (78 

FR 21074, April 9, 2013) 

Air Wisconsin requested that the term 

‘‘detected’’ in paragraph (k) of the 

proposed AD (78 FR 21074, April 9, 

2013) (redesignated as paragraph (j) of 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
41106 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 135 / Tuesday, July 15, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

this AD) be changed to ‘‘disconnected.’’ 

Air Wisconsin asserted that FAA’s 

intent was probably to use the term 

‘‘disconnected.’’ 

We partially agree. We agree that 

paragraph (j) of this AD (78 FR 21074, 

April 9, 2013) (designated as paragraph 

(k) of the proposed AD) should read 

differently. Paragraph 2.B.(4)(c) of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of 

Bombardier Service Bulletin A601R–27– 

144, Revision E, dated October 2, 2012, 

states, ‘‘If the input lever moves freely, 

or the input lever is loose, the PFS is 

‘‘defective. . . .’’ Therefore, we have 

revised paragraphs (i) and (j) of this AD 

(designated as paragraphs (j) and (k) of 

the proposed AD) by changing the word 

‘‘disconnected’’ to ‘‘defective.’’ 

Request To Clarify Airplanes Affected 

by New PFS Unit Replacement 

Air Wisconsin requested that 

paragraph (l) of the proposed AD (78 FR 

21074, April 9, 2013) (redesignated as 

paragraph (k) of this AD) be revised to 

add vendor P/Ns TY1910–50A, 

TY1910–51A, and TY1910–54A for 

clarity. 

We agree with Air Wisconsin’s 

request to add vendor part numbers in 

paragraph (k) of this AD (designated as 

paragraph (l) in the proposed AD (78 FR 

21074, April 9, 2013). We have revised 

paragraph (k) of this AD by adding the 

vendor part numbers with the 

manufacturer part numbers. 

Request To Add Compliance Time 

When Total Flight Hours are Unknown 

Air Wisconsin requested that 

paragraph (l) of the proposed AD (78 FR 

21074, April 9, 2013) (redesignated as 

paragraph (k) of this AD) be revised to 

add a replacement compliance time for 

PFS units on which the total flight 

hours are unknown. Air Wisconsin 

suggested the compliance time for PFS 

units with unknown total flight hours be 

3,000 flight hours or 18 months after the 

effective date of this AD. 

We agree with Air Wisconsin’s 

request to specify a compliance time for 

PFS units with unknown total flight 

hours. We have revised paragraph (k)(4) 

of this AD (78 FR 21074, April 9, 2013) 

to add the suggested compliance time 

for PFS units having P/N 601R92300–3 

(vendor P/N TY1910–50A) or 

601R92300–5 (vendor P/N TY1910– 

51A) for which the total flight hours are 

unknown or cannot be determined. 

Explanation of Changes Made to This 

AD 

We have reformatted paragraph (l) of 

this AD (designated as paragraph (m) of 

the proposed AD (78 FR 21074, April 9, 

2013). 

We have added new paragraph (l)(1) 

to this AD. Paragraph (l)(1) of this AD 

gives credit for doing a functional test 

if done before the effective date of AD 

2006–05–11 R1, Amendment 39–14528 

(71 FR 15323, March 28, 2006), using 

Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin 

A601R–27–144, including Appendix A, 

dated September 15, 2005. 

We redesignated paragraphs (m)(1), 

(m)(1)(i), (m)(1)(ii), and (m)(2) of the 

proposed AD (78 FR 21074, April 9, 

2013) as paragraphs (l)(2), (l)(2)(i), 

(l)(2)(ii), and (l)(5) of this AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comments received, 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 

21074, April 9, 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 21074, 

April 9, 2013). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 574 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The actions that are required by AD 

2008–08–09, Amendment 39–15461 (73 

FR 19979, April 14, 2008), and retained 

in this AD take about 2 work-hours per 

product, at an average labor rate of $85 

per work-hour. Required parts cost $0 

per product. Based on these figures, the 

estimated cost of the actions that were 

required by AD 2008–08–09 is $170 per 

product. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 8 work-hours per product to 

comply with the new basic 

requirements of this AD. The average 

labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts will cost about $2,500 

per product. Where the service 

information lists required parts costs 

that are covered under warranty, we 

have assumed that there will be no 

charge for these parts. As we do not 

control warranty coverage for affected 

parties, some parties may incur costs 

higher than estimated here. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this AD on U.S. operators to be 

$1,825,320, or $3,180 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.

Directorate Identifier 2012–NM–102–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD becomes effective August 19, 

2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD supersedes AD 2008–08–09, 

Amendment 39–15461 (73 FR 19979, April 

14, 2008). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) 

airplanes, certificated in any category, serial 

numbers (S/Ns) 7003 through 8110 inclusive. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 27, Flight Controls. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports that the 

shear pin in the input lever of several pitch 

feel simulator (PFS) units failed due to 

fatigue; and by the development of a redesigned PFS unit, which eliminates the 

need for repetitive functional testing. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent undetected failure 

of the shear pins of both PFS units 

simultaneously, which could result in loss of 

pitch feel forces and consequent reduced 

control of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Retained Functional Test of Input Lever 

With Revised Service Information 

This paragraph restates the requirements of 

paragraph (g) of AD 2008–08–09, 

Amendment 39–15461 (73 FR 19979, April 

14, 2008), with revised service information. 

For airplanes having S/Ns 7003 through 7990 

inclusive, and S/Ns 8000 through 8110 

inclusive: Before the accumulation of 4,000 

total flight hours, or within 100 flight hours 

after March 27, 2006 (the effective date of AD 

2006–05–11 R1, Amendment 39–14528 (71 

FR 15323, March 28, 2006), whichever occurs 

later, do a functional test of the pilot input 

lever of the PFS units to determine if the 

lever is disconnected, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of a service 

bulletin specified in paragraph (g)(1), (g)(2), 

or (g)(3) of this AD. Repeat the test at 

intervals not to exceed 100 flight hours. As 

of the effective date of this AD, only

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2C10 

(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702), 

CL–600–2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), 

CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900), 

and CL–600–2E25 (Regional Jet Series 

1000) airplanes. This AD was prompted 

by the finding of an uncertified main 

landing gear (MLG) inboard retraction 

actuator bracket pin installed on an inservice airplane. This AD requires 

inspection of the MLG inboard 

retraction actuator bracket for a part 

number, and replacement if necessary. 

We are issuing this AD to detect and 

correct uncertified pins in the MLG 

inboard retraction actuator bracket, 

which could result in pin failure, 

leading to an MLG extension without 

damping, and a potential for MLG 

structural damage and possible collapse 

during landing. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

August 19, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of August 19, 2014.
