AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model BD–100–1A10 

(Challenger 300) airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by testing 

of the spoiler electronic control unit 

(SECU) software for an upgrade, which 

revealed a timing error between the 

command and monitor channels. This 

proposed AD would require revising the 

maintenance or inspection program to 

incorporate repetitive operational tests 

of the aileron disconnect system, and 

corrective action if necessary. This 

proposed AD would also require 

modification and reidentification of the 

SECU, which would terminate the 

repetitive operational tests. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent a timing 

error in the SECU software, which, in 

combination with failure of the roll 

disconnect switch, could result in 

complete loss of spoiler functionality 

and consequent reduced controllability 

of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by April 6, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–24, 

dated August 5, 2014 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD– 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 18, 2015 / Proposed Rules 8565 

100–1A10 (Challenger 300) airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

During testing of the software for an 

upgrade of the spoiler electronic control unit 

(SECU), a timing error between the Command 

and Monitor channels was found in the 

SECU software. This timing error, if not 

corrected, in combination with the failure of 

the roll disconnect switch, may lead to a 

complete loss of spoiler functionality and 

result in a reduction or complete loss of 

aeroplane roll control. 

This [TCCA] AD mandates the SECU 

software modification to correct the timing 

error and to change the inspection interval 

for a maintenance task based on System 

Functional Hazard Analysis [by revising the 

inspection or maintenance program.] 

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– 

0088. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service 

Bulletin 100–27–16, dated October 31, 

2013. The service information describes 

procedures for modification and 

reidentification of the SECU. The 

actions described in this service 

information are intended to correct the 

unsafe condition identified in the 

MCAI. This service information is 

reasonably available; see ADDRESSES for 

ways to access this service information. 

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. 

This AD requires revisions to certain 

operator maintenance documents to 

include new actions (e.g., inspections). 

Compliance with these actions is 

required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For 

airplanes that have been previously 

modified, altered, or repaired in the 

areas addressed by this AD, the operator 

may not be able to accomplish the 

actions described in the revisions. In 

this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 

91.403(c), the operator must request 

approval for an alternative method of 

compliance according to paragraph (j)(1) 

of this AD. The request should include 

a description of changes to the required 

inspections that will ensure the 

continued operational safety of the 

airplane. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 107 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take up 

to 6 work-hours per product to comply 

with the basic requirements of this 

proposed AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per work-hour. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be up 

to $54,570, or up to $510 per product. 

We have received no definitive data 

on the parts cost for doing the 

modification 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 

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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Airbus Model A300 B4–603, B4–605R, 

B4–620, B4–622, B4–622R airplanes; all 

Airbus Model A300 C4–605R Variant F 

airplanes; and certain Airbus Model 

A300 F4–605R airplanes. This proposed 

AD was prompted by the manufacturer’s 

review of all repairs accomplished using 

the structural repair manual. This 

review was done using revised fatigue 

and damage tolerance calculations. This 

proposed AD would require an 

inspection of the surrounding panels of 

the left and right forward passenger 

doors, and corrective actions if 

necessary. We are proposing this AD to 

detect and correct previous incomplete 

or inadequate repairs to the surrounding 

panels of the left and right forward 

passenger doors and the fail-safe ring, 

which could negatively affect the 

structural integrity of the airplane.
