(g) Failure indications. For system 

failure detection and indication, the 

following apply: 

(1) The system must be checked for 

failure conditions, not extremely 

improbable, that degrade the structural 

capability below the level required by 

part 25 or significantly reduce the 

reliability of the remaining system. As 

far as reasonably practicable, the flight 

crew must be made aware of these 

failures before flight. Certain elements 

of the control system, such as 

mechanical and hydraulic components, 

may use special periodic inspections, 

and electronic components may use 

daily checks, in lieu of detection and 

indication systems to achieve the 

objective of this requirement. These 

certification maintenance requirements 

must be limited to components that are 

not readily detectable by normal 

detection and indication systems and 

where service history shows that 

inspections will provide an adequate 

level of safety. 

(2) The existence of any failure 

condition, not extremely improbable, 

during flight that could significantly 

affect the structural capability of the 

airplane and for which the associated 

reduction in airworthiness can be 

minimized by suitable flight limitations, 

must be signaled to the flight crew. For 

example, failure conditions that result 

in a factor of safety between the airplane 

strength and the loads of Subpart C 

below 1.25, or flutter margins below V′′, 

must be signaled to the crew during 

flight. 

(h) Dispatch with known failure 

conditions. If the airplane is to be 

dispatched in a known system failure 

condition that affects structural 

performance, or affects the reliability of 

the remaining system to maintain 

structural performance, then the 

provisions of this special condition 

must be met, including the provisions of 

paragraph (e) for the dispatched 

condition, and paragraph (f) for 

subsequent failures. Expected 

operational limitations may be taken 

into account in establishing Pj as the 

probability of failure occurrence for 

determining the safety margin in Figure 

1. Flight limitations and expected 

operational limitations may be taken 

into account in establishing Qj as the 

combined probability of being in the 

dispatched failure condition and the 

subsequent failure condition for the 

safety margins in Figures 2 and 3. These 

limitations must be such that the 

probability of being in this combined 

failure state and then subsequently 

encountering limit load conditions is 

extremely improbable. No reduction in 

these safety margins is allowed if the 

subsequent system failure rate is greater 

than 10¥3 per hour.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model 

AS332C, AS332L, AS332L1, AS332L2, 

and EC225LP helicopters. This AD 

requires visually inspecting each 

jettisonable emergency exit window 

panel (window) for sealant, and 

removing any sealant that exists in the 

window’s extruded sections. This AD 

was prompted by jettison tests during 

routine maintenance inspections that 

showed the windows failed to jettison. 

The actions of this AD are intended to 

prevent failure of the windows to 

jettison, so helicopter occupants can 

exit the aircraft during an emergency. 

DATES: This AD is effective January 24, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain documents listed in this AD 

as of January 24, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On June 20, 2013, at 78 FR 37156, the 

Federal Register published our notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which 

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 by 

adding an AD that would apply to 

Eurocopter Model AS332C, AS332L, 

AS332L1, AS332L2 and EC225LP 

helicopters that have never undergone a 

window-jettison test. The NPRM 

proposed to require visually inspecting 

each window for sealant, and removing 

any sealant that exists in the window’s 

extruded sections. The proposed 

requirements were intended to prevent 

failure of the windows to jettison, so 

helicopter occupants can exit the 

aircraft during an emergency. 

The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 

2012–0152, dated August 13, 2012, 

issued by EASA, which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Union. EASA issued AD No. 

2012–0152 to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Eurocopter Model 

AS 332 C, AS 332 C1, AS 332 L, AS 332 

L1, AS 332 L2 and EC 225 LP 

helicopters. EASA reports that during 

required maintenance checks, there 

have been problems jettisoning 

emergency exit windows. According to 

EASA, investigations on several 

windows showed sealant between the 

extrusion and the window. ‘‘This 

condition, if not detected and corrected, 

could prevent the jettisoning of a 

window, possibly affecting the 

evacuation of passengers in the event of 

an emergency situation,’’ EASA states. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD, but 

we received no comments on the NPRM 

(78 FR 37156, June 20, 2013).

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 245 / Friday, December 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 76985 

FAA’s Determination 

These helicopters have been approved 

by the aviation authority of France and 

are approved for operation in the United 

States. Pursuant to our bilateral 

agreement with France, EASA, its 

technical representative, has notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

EASA AD. We are issuing this AD 

because we evaluated all information 

provided by EASA and determined the 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other helicopters of 

these same type designs and that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD requirements as 

proposed. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

EASA AD 

The EASA AD applies to Model AS 

332 C1 helicopters, and this AD does 

not because that model is not FAA typecertificated. The EASA AD requires the 

inspection of each window within 110 

hours time-in-service (TIS) or six 

months, while this AD requires the 

inspection within 110 hours TIS. 

Related Service Information 

Eurocopter issued Alert Service 

Bulletin (ASB) No. AS332–56.00.04 for 

Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, 

AS332L1, and AS332L2 helicopters and 

ASB No. EC225–56A002 for the 

EC225LP helicopter, both Revision 0, 

and both dated August 8, 2012. 

Eurocopter advises of difficulties 

jettisoning the window panel when 

performing a jettison test due to sealant 

installed between the extrusion and the 

window. According to Eurocopter, 

jettison tests are to be performed every 

two years. The ASBs provide 

instructions to inspect each jettisonable 

window panel to determine whether 

there is sealant between the extrusion 

and the window. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 19 

helicopters of U.S. Registry and that 

labor rates average $85 a work-hour. 

Based on these estimates, we expect the 

following costs: 

• Visually inspecting the windows for 

sealant requires 1 work-hour for a labor 

cost of $85 per helicopter, and $1,615 

for the U.S. fleet. 

• If needed, removing the sealant 

from the windows requires 2 workhours for a labor cost of $170 per 

window. 

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 

helicopters identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

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 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction; 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. 

We prepared an economic evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
