total flight hours but with 16,000 total flight 

hours or less as of the effective date of this 

AD: Prior to the outboard wing aileron pulley 

accumulating 17,300 total flight hours, or 

within 2,000 flight hours after the effective 

date of this AD, whichever is earlier. 

(3) For airplanes with more than 16,000 

total flight hours but with 20,000 total flight 

hours or less as of the effective date of this 

AD: Prior to the outboard wing aileron pulley 

accumulating 20,800 total flight hours, or 

within 1,300 flight hours after the effective 

date of this AD, whichever is earlier. 

(4) For airplanes with more than 20,000 

total flight hours as of the effective date of 

this AD: Within 800 flight hours after the 

effective date of this AD. 

Note 1: The actions required by paragraphs 

(g) of this AD may be done by inserting a 

copy of Bombardier TR 1–41, dated October 

22, 2010, into Section 2—Systems/ 

Powerplant Program of Part 1 of the 

Bombardier CL–600–2C10, CL–600–2D15, 

CL–600–2D24, CL–600–2E25 MRM. When 

this TR has been included in the general 

revisions of the MRM, the general revisions 

may be inserted in the MRM, and the TR may 

be removed from the MRM, provided that the 

relevant information in the general revision 

is identical to that in Bombardier TR 1–41, 

dated October 22, 2010. 

No Alternative Actions or Intervals 

(h) After accomplishing the revision 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no 

alternative actions (e.g., inspections) or 

intervals may be used unless the actions or 

intervals are approved as an alternative 

method of compliance (AMOC) in 

accordance with the procedures specified in 

paragraph (i)(1) of this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: No 

differences.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 

0070 and 0100 airplanes. This proposed 

AD results from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

A recent safety review revealed that the 

fuel crossfeed valves cannot be controlled 

when only emergency electrical power is 

available. 

This condition, if not corrected, could (in 

combination with other factors) prevent an 

in-flight engine re-light following a double 

engine flame-out event, possibly resulting in 

loss of the aeroplane. 

* * * * * 

The proposed AD would require actions 

that are intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by December 23, 

2011.

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2010–0158R1, 

dated November 8, 2010 (referred to 

after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

A recent safety review revealed that the 

fuel crossfeed valves cannot be controlled 

when only emergency electrical power is 

available. 

This condition, if not corrected, could (in 

combination with other factors) prevent an 

in-flight engine re-light following a double 

engine flame-out event, possibly resulting in 

loss of the aeroplane. 

Another review revealed that an unwanted 

configuration of the fuel fire shut-off valve 

indication logic had been introduced during 

production on a limited number of F28 Mark 

0100 aeroplanes. 

Furthermore, most of the current fuel 

crossfeed indications are based on the 

crossfeed selection made by the flight crew 

and not on the actual positions of the 

crossfeed valve actuators. In combination 

with other factors, the current crossfeed 

indications may mislead flight crews, 

possibly resulting in single engine in-flight 

shutdowns and/or unnecessary precautionary 

landings. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires modifications of the crossfeed valve 

control and power supply, of the crossfeed 

indication logic and power supply and of the 

fuel fire shut-off valve indication logic. 

* * * * * 

Required actions also include modifying 

the overhead panel (introduce 

provisions for a modified crossfeed 

indication), and for certain airplanes 

modifying the transfer logic of the 

center wing fuel tank. You may obtain 

further information by examining the 

MCAI in the AD docket.

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 AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have proposed 

different actions in this AD from those 

in the MCAI in order to follow FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a NOTE within the 

proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 6 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 86 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $4,180 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 costs. 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 the 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$68,940, or $11,490 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 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); 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

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 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 proposed AD 

results from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

[I]t was found that the * * * ADG [air 

driven generator] GCU [generator control 

unit] transformer primary winding can break 

due to thermal fatigue. Broken transformer 

primary winding can prevent the supply of 

power from the ADG to the essential buses. 

In the event of an emergency, failure for the 

essential buses to remain powered can 

prevent continued safe flight. 

* * * * * 

The proposed AD would require actions 

that are intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI.
