AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2020–23–07, which applies to certain 

Leonardo S.p.a. Model AB139 and 

AW139 helicopters. AD 2020–23–07 

requires removing certain life raft 

reservoirs (reservoirs) from service, 

inspecting the reservoirs and actuator 

cables, and depending on the inspection 

results, replacing the reservoir or 

adjusting the actuator cable. Since the 

FAA issued AD 2020–23–07, additional 

serial-numbered reservoirs were 

identified as also being affected by the 

unsafe condition. This proposed AD 

would retain certain requirements of AD 

2020–23–07, expand the required 

actions to include additional serialnumbered reservoirs, and update 

applicable service information. The 

FAA is proposing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by February 28, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Background 

The FAA issued AD 2020–23–07, 

Amendment 39–21323 (85 FR 73610, 

November 19, 2020) (AD 2020–23–07), 

for Leonardo S.p.a. Model AB139 and 

AW139 helicopters with emergency 

flotation kit part number (P/N) 

4G9560F00111 (15 passengers) or 

4G9560F00211 (18 passengers) 

installed. AD 2020–23–07 requires for 

helicopters with certain serialnumbered right-hand (RH) or left-hand 

(LH) reservoirs installed, within 25 

hours time-in-service (TIS) removing 

each affected reservoir from service. For 

helicopters with certain serialnumbered RH or LH reservoirs installed, 

AD 2020–23–07 requires, within 25 TIS 

or before the reservoir accumulates 55 

hours TIS since first installation on a 

helicopter, whichever occurs later, 

inspecting the valve pull rod of each 

reservoir and depending on the 

inspection results, replacing the 

reservoir before further flight. For 

helicopters with certain other serialnumbered RH or LH reservoirs installed, 

AD 2020–23–07 requires within 25 

hours TIS, inspecting the actuator cable 

of each reservoir and depending on the 

inspection results, adjusting the actuator 

cable before further flight. Finally, AD 

2020–23–07 prohibits installing certain 

serial-numbered reservoirs with certain 

part numbers on any helicopter and 

prohibits installing certain other serialnumbered reservoirs with certain part 

numbers on any helicopter unless the 

actuator cable of the reservoir has been 

inspected, and if required, the actuator 

cable adjusted. 

AD 2020–23–07 was prompted by 

EASA AD 2020–0185, dated August 19, 

2020 (EASA AD 2020–0185), issued by 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent for 

the Member States of the European 

Union, to correct an unsafe condition 

for Leonardo S.p.A. Helicopters, 

formerly Finmeccanica S.p.A, 

AgustaWestland S.p.A., Agusta S.p.A.; 

and AgustaWestland Philadelphia 

Corporation, formerly Agusta Aerospace 

Corporation, Model AB139 and AW139 

helicopters, all serial numbers, if 

equipped with emergency flotation kit 

P/N 4G9560F00111 (15 passengers) or 

P/N 4G9560F00211 (18 passengers). 

EASA advised of an inadvertent 

emergency life raft activation and 

deployment event that occurred on a 

Model AW139 helicopter during flight. 

EASA advised that following the 

deployment, the life raft separated from 

the helicopter and was lost at sea. EASA 

stated that investigation is on-going into 

the cause of this event and that Model 

AB139 helicopters are subject to the 

same unsafe condition due to design 

similarity to the AW139 helicopters. 

This condition, if not addressed, could 

result in further unintended activation 

and deployment of the life raft in flight 

and separation with possible impact on 

the rotors, resulting in reduced control 

of the helicopter. 

Accordingly, EASA AD 2020–0185 

required for some helicopters, 

replacement of affected reservoirs and, 

for other helicopters, inspections of the 

valve pull rod and the actuator cable of 

the life raft and, depending on findings, 

accomplishment of the applicable 

corrective actions. EASA AD 2020–0185 

also prohibited re-installation of an 

affected reservoir on any helicopter. 

Actions Since AD 2020–23–07 Was 

Issued 

Since the FAA issued AD 2020–23– 

07, EASA issued AD 2021–0054, dated 

February 25, 2021 (EASA AD 2021– 

0054), which supersedes EASA AD 

2020–0185. EASA advises that 

additional serial-numbered reservoirs 

are affected by the same unsafe 

condition. EASA also advises Leonardo 

Helicopters issued Alert Service 

Bulletin (ASB) No. 139–662, dated 

February 15, 2021 (ASB 139–662), 

which includes a Table listing the serial 

numbers of the additional batch of 

affected reservoirs and provides 

additional replacement and inspection 

instructions. Furthermore, EASA 

advises some of the affected reservoirs 

could become serviceable after an 

inspection and after these reservoirs are 

re-identified and marked with an ‘‘R.’’ 

Accordingly, EASA AD 2021–0054 

retains the requirements of EASA AD 

2020–0185, expands the batch of 

affected reservoirs to include the 

additional affected reservoirs, and 

includes the updated service 

information. 

After AD 2020–23–07 was issued, the 

FAA determined the total number of 

affected helicopters stated in the Cost of 

Compliance paragraph in AD 2020–23– 

07 was estimated as the total number of 

U.S. registered Leonardo S.p.a. Model 

AB139 and AW139 helicopters. 

However, the FAA revised the Cost of 

Compliance paragraph in this proposed 

AD to the total number of helicopters 

that the type certificate holder estimated 

as having an affected emergency 

flotation kit installed. The FAA has also 

updated the cost information for the 

parts cost estimates. 

FAA’s Determination 

These helicopters have been approved 

by EASA and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with the 

European Union, EASA has notified the 

FAA about the unsafe condition 

described in its AD. The FAA is 

proposing this AD after evaluating all 

known relevant information and 

determining that the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type designs. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Leonardo 

Helicopters ASB No. 139–648, dated 

August 10, 2020 (referred to as ‘‘ASB 

139–648 First Issue’’) and ASB No. 139– 

648, Revision A, dated February 15, 

2021 (ASB 139–648 Rev A). ASB 139– 

648 First Issue specifies procedures to 

replace certain reservoirs and return 

them to the supplier, inspect the valve 

pull rod by measuring the actuator cable 

between the face of the pull rod and the 

back of the valve cap, inspect the 

actuator cable by verifying the presence 

of a clearance between the sphere at the 

end of the actuator cable and the 

activation system, and adjust the 

actuator cable. ASB 139–648 Rev A 

specifies the same procedures as ASB 

139–648 First Issue, except ASB 139– 

648 Rev A includes a Note clarifying 

that LH and RH reservoirs with S/Ns 

marked (or recorded on the component 

Log Card) with the suffix ‘‘R’’ after the 

S/N are not affected by Part I of ASB 

139–648 Rev A, even if they have an 

S/N listed in Table 1 of ASB 139–648 

Rev A. 

The FAA also reviewed ASB 139–662, 

which specifies additional serialnumbered reservoirs that are affected by 

the same unsafe condition. ASB 139– 

662 also provides additional actuator 

cable inspection procedures for these 

affected reservoirs. 

This service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would retain all of 

the requirements of AD 2020–23–07 and 

would expand the required actions to 

include the additional serial-numbered 

reservoirs identified in ASB 139–662. 

This proposed AD would also allow 

alternative service information to be 

used for specific portions of certain 

inspections and corrective action. This 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
1708 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

proposed AD would add an exemption 

from certain required actions for 

reservoirs marked with an ‘‘R’’ after the 

S/N. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and EASA AD 2021–0054 

EASA AD 2021–0054 uses flight 

hours (FH) for certain compliance times, 

whereas this proposed AD would use 

hours TIS. EASA AD 2021–0054 

specifies the compliance time for certain 

serial-numbered reservoirs to be 

replaced is within 25 FH after August 

26, 2020 (the effective date of EASA AD 

2020–0185), whereas this proposed AD 

would require certain serial-numbered 

reservoirs to be removed from service 

within 25 hours TIS after December 4, 

2020 (the effective date of AD 2020–23– 

07). EASA AD 2021–0054 specifies the 

compliance time for certain serialnumbered reservoirs to be replaced is 

within 25 FH after March 4, 2021 (the 

effective date of EASA AD 2021–0054), 

whereas this proposed AD would 

require certain serial-numbered 

reservoirs to be removed from service 

within 25 hours TIS after the effective 

date of this AD. 

EASA AD 2021–0054 specifies the 

compliance time to inspect the valve 

pull rod for certain helicopters is after 

replacement of the affected reservoir 

and within 5 FH after the serviceable 

reservoir exceeds 50 FH since 

installation, whereas this proposed AD 

would require the valve pull rod 

inspection for certain helicopters within 

25 hours TIS or before the reservoir 

accumulates 55 total hours TIS since 

first installation on a helicopter, 

whichever occurs later after December 

4, 2020 (the effective date of AD 2020– 

23–07). 

EASA AD 2021–0054 specifies the 

compliance time to inspect the actuator 

cable for certain helicopters is before 

next flight after the replacement of the 

affected reservoir and for certain other 

helicopters within 25 FH after August 

26, 2020 (the effective date of EASA AD 

2020–0185), whereas this proposed AD 

would require the actuator cable 

inspection for certain helicopters within 

25 hours TIS after December 4, 2020 

(the effective date of AD 2020–23–07). 

EASA AD 2021–0054 requires 

returning removed reservoirs to the 

supplier, whereas this proposed AD 

would require removing certain 

reservoirs from service and replacing 

other reservoirs instead. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 15 helicopters of U.S. Registry. 

Labor rates are estimated at $85 per 

work-hour. Based on these numbers, the 

FAA estimates that operators may incur 

the following costs in order to comply 

with this AD. 

Replacing a reservoir would take 

about 1 work-hour and parts would cost 

up to $3,710 for an estimated cost of up 

to $3,795 per reservoir. 

Inspecting the valve pull rod of a 

reservoir would take about 1 work-hour 

for an estimated cost of $85 per 

reservoir and up to $ 2,550 for the U.S. 

fleet. 

Inspecting an actuator cable would 

take about 0.25 work-hours for an 

estimated cost of $21 per inspection and 

up to $630 for the U.S. fleet. 

If required, adjusting an actuator cable 

would take about 0.75 work-hour for an 

estimated cost of $64 per cable. 

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 

The FAA 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, I certify 

this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by: 

■ a. Removing Airworthiness Directive 

2020–23–07, Amendment 39–21323 (85 

FR 73610, November 19, 2020); and 

■ b. Adding the following new 

airworthiness directive: 

Leonardo S.p.a.: Docket No. FAA–2021– 

1174; Project Identifier MCAI–2021– 

00246–R. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) action by 

February 28, 2022. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD replaces AD 2020–23–07, 

Amendment 39–21323 (85 FR 73610, 

November 19, 2020) (AD 2020–23–07). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Leonardo S.p.a. Model 

AB139 and AW139 helicopters, certificated 

in any category, with emergency flotation kit

installed. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft Service Component (JASC) 

Code: 2560, Emergency Equipment, and 

2564, Life Raft. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by the inadvertent 

activation and deployment of an emergency 

life raft while the helicopter was in flight. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent the 

unintended deployment of a life raft (raft).
