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. 

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 

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, 

and 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska.

country to identify and correct an unsafe 

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI 

identifies the unsafe condition as unintended 

slipping of the freewheel clutch with 

overheating (burnishing) of the friction pads 

inside of the clutch. The unsafe condition, if 

not addressed, could result in a loss of thrust 

and consequent loss of glider control. 

(f) Required Action and Compliance 

(1) Before further flight after the effective 

date of this AD, remove the freewheel clutch 

from service. 

(2) As of the effective date of this AD, do

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued Emergency AD 2021– 

15–51 on July 6, 2021, and it published 

as a Final rule; request for comments on 

August 9, 2021 as Amendment 39– 

21678 (86 FR 43406) (AD 2021–15–51). 

AD 2021–15–51 applied to Bell Textron 

Inc., Model 204B, 205A, 205A–1, 205B, 

and 212 helicopters with a pin part 

number (P/N) 204–012–104–005 with a 

serial number (S/N) prefix ‘‘FNFS’’ 

installed. AD 2021–15–51 was 

prompted by a fatal accident of a Model 

212 helicopter in which a pin P/N 204– 

012–104–005 with an S/N prefix 

‘‘FNFS’’ sheared off during flight, which 

resulted in the main rotor blade and the 

main rotor head detaching from the 

helicopter. The pin had accumulated 

only 20 total hours time-in-service (TIS). 

An inspection of a different Model 212 

helicopter revealed that another pin 

installed, and made by the same 

manufacturer and with the same S/N 

prefix, was deformed; this pin had 

accumulated only 29 total hours TIS. 

Because an affected pin could also be 

installed on other helicopters, AD 2021– 

15–51 also applied to Model 204B, 

205A, 205A–1, and 205B helicopters. 

Failure of a pin could result in the main 

rotor blade detaching from the 

helicopter and subsequent loss of 

control of the helicopter. 

After AD 2021–15–51 was issued, it 

was determined that an affected pin 

could also be installed on Model 210 

helicopters. Therefore, the FAA issued a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede 

AD 2021–15–51. The NPRM published 

in the Federal Register on November 19, 

2021 (86 FR 64832) and it proposed to 

continue to require all of the 

requirements of AD 2021–15–51 and 

add Model 210 helicopters to the 

applicability. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received no comments on 

the NPRM or on the determination of 

the costs. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data 

and determined that air safety requires 

adoption of the AD as proposed. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. Except for minor editorial 

changes, this AD is adopted as proposed 

in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information 

The FAA reviewed Bell Alert Service 

Bulletins (ASBs), each Revision A and 

dated July 22, 2021: 

• ASB 204B–21–74 for Model 204B 

helicopters, S/Ns 2001 through 2070 

and 2196 through 2199; 

• ASB 205–21–117 for Model 205A 

and 205A–1 helicopters, S/Ns 30001 

through 30065, 30067 through 30165, 

30167 through 30187, 30189 through 

30296, and 30298 through 30332; 

• ASB 205B–21–71 for Model 205B 

helicopters, S/Ns 30066, 30166, 30188 

and 30297; 

• ASB 210–21–14 for all Model 210 

helicopters, and 

• ASB 212–21–165 for Model 212 

helicopters, S/Ns 30501 through 30999, 

31101 through 31311, 32101 through 

32142, and 35001 through 35103. 

The ASBs specify removing all P/N 

204–012–104–005 pins with an S/N 

prefix ‘‘FNFS’’ before further flight. The 

ASBs also specify that, although the 

investigation is still in progress, 

removing these pins from service is 

required. The ASBs state that these pins 

may not have been manufactured in 

accordance with the engineering design 

requirements and may therefore shear as 

a result of this nonconformance. 

Interim Action 

The FAA considers this AD to be an 

interim action. If final action is later 

identified, the FAA might consider 

further rulemaking. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 155 helicopters of U.S. Registry. 

Labor rates are estimated at $85 per 

work-hour. Based on these numbers, the 

FAA estimates the following costs to 

comply with this AD. 

Replacing up to four pins takes about 

20 work-hours and parts cost about 

$1,756 for four pins for an estimated 

cost of up to $3,456 per helicopter, and 

up to $535,680 for the U.S. fleet. 

The FAA has included all known 

costs in its cost estimate. According to 

the manufacturer, however, some of the 

costs of this AD may be covered under 

warranty, thereby reducing the cost 

impact on affected individuals. 

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. 

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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
1670 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

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.
