Airworthiness Directives; Viking Air 

Limited (Type Certificate Previously 

Held by Bombardier Inc. and de 

Havilland, Inc.) Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

64–09–03, which applies to all de 

Havilland (type certificate now held by 

Viking Air Limited) Model DHC–2 

‘‘Beaver’’ airplanes. AD 64–09–03 

requires inspecting the aileron mass 

balance weight arms for cracks and 

corrosion and replacing any damaged 

part. Since the FAA issued AD 64–09– 

03, Transport Canada superseded its 

mandatory continuing airworthiness 

information (MCAI) to correct an unsafe 

condition on these products. This 

proposed AD would require establishing 

a corrosion prevention and control 

program to identify and correct 

corrosion. This proposed AD would also 

require completing all of the initial tasks 

identified in the program and reporting 

corrosion findings to Viking. The 

proposed corrosion prevention and 

control program would include the 

inspection of the aileron balance weight 

arms required by AD 64–09–03. 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 March 25, 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 64–09–03, 

Amendment 718 (29 FR 5390; April 22, 

1964) (AD 64–09–03) for all de 

Havilland (type certificate now held by 

Viking Air Limited) Model DHC–2 

‘‘Beaver’’ airplanes. AD 64–09–03 

requires repetitively inspecting the 

aileron mass balance weight arms for 

cracks and corrosion and replacing any 

damaged part. AD 64–09–03 resulted 

from cracks and corrosion found on 

aileron mass balance weight arm part 

numbers (P/Ns) C2WA151, C2WA152, 

C2WA127, and C2WA128. 

Actions Since AD 64–09–03 Was Issued 

Since the FAA issued AD 64–09–03, 

the type certificate holder for Model 

DHC–2 airplanes changed from de 

Havilland to Viking Air Limited. 

Transport Canada, which is the aviation 

authority for Canada, superseded its 

prior ADs on this unsafe condition and 

issued AD CF–2019–25, dated July 5, 

2019 (referred to after this as ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all serial-numbered Viking Air 

Limited Model DHC–2 Mk. I, DHC–2 

Mk. II, and DHC–2 Mk. III airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

Service experience indicates that aging 

aircraft are more likely to be affected by 

corrosion. Viking Air Limited (Viking), as 

Type Certificate holder for DHC–2, has 

developed a supplementary inspection and 

corrosion control program which identifies 

specific area that must be inspected to ensure 

the corrosion-related degradation does not 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
7066 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 8, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

result in an unsafe condition. The program is 

documented in Viking Product Support 

Manual (PSM) 1–2–5 DHC–2 Beaver 

Supplementary Inspection and Corrosion 

Control Manual (SICCM). 

Corrosion levels are defined in PSM 1–2– 

5 as a means for assessing the effectiveness 

of the corrosion control program and 

recording the results of the inspections 

mandated by this [Transport Canada] AD. 

The initial issue of PSM 1–2–5, Revision 

IR, was mandated by [Transport Canada] AD 

CF–2017–33. This initial issue of PSM 1–2– 

5 focused on the fight control systems. Viking 

has revised PS 1–2–5 to Revision 1. This 

revision includes additional inspection tasks 

for components of airframe systems other 

than flight controls. This [Transport Canada] 

AD is issued to require accomplishment of 

those additional inspection tasks and 

supersedes [Transport Canada] AD CF–2017– 

33. 

This [Transport Canada] AD continues to 

require accomplishment of the tasks that 

were included in the initial issue of PSM 1– 

2–5. Note: The tasks being carried over from 

Revision IR to Revision 1 are required to be 

performed in accordance with the current 

revision of the PSM 1–2–5, reference 

[Canadian Aviation Regulation] CAR 571.02 

paragraph (1) (a). 

Transport Canada (TC) has concluded that 

Tasks C57–51–01 and C57–51–02 make the 

repetitive inspections required by [Transport 

Canada] AD CF–61–12 [which corresponds to 

FAA AD 64–09–03] unnecessary. CF–61–12 

is therefore cancelled. 

Viking determined that changes to the 

compliance times for two of the tasks in PSM 

1–2–5 were required. For task C57–51–01 the 

repeat interval was every 1 year in Revision 

IR and is changed to every 2 years in 

Revision 1. For task C57–51–02 the repeat 

interval was every 4 years in Revision IR and 

is changed to every 4 years or 500 hours air 

time, whichever occurs first, in Revision 1. 

Corrosion-related degradation, if not 

addressed, could lead to structural 

failure with consequent loss of control 

of the airplane. You may examine the 

MCAI at https://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2020–7071. 

Related Service Information 

The FAA reviewed Viking DHC–2 

Beaver Service Bulletin V2/0011, 

Revision NC, dated November 28, 2019. 

This service information provides a list 

of new inspection tasks that have been 

added to the DHC–2 supplementary 

inspection and corrosion control 

program, Viking Product Support 

Manual (PSM) 1–2–5 DHC–2 Beaver 

Supplemental Inspection and Corrosion 

Control Manual, Revision 1, dated 

January 10, 2019 (Viking PSM–1–2–5, 

Revision 1). 

The FAA also reviewed Viking PSM– 

1–2–5, Revision 1, which specifies 

procedures for inspecting areas of the 

airplane that are particularly susceptible 

to corrosion-related degradation. Viking 

PSM 1–2–5, Revision 1 also specifies 

repetitive inspection intervals, defines 

the different levels of corrosion, and 

provides corrective action if corrosion is 

found. 

FAA’s Determination 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and service 

information referenced above. The FAA 

is issuing this NPRM after determining 

that the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other products of the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would retain none 

of the requirements of AD 64–09–03. 

This proposed AD would require 

establishing a corrosion prevention and 

control program approved by the FAA, 

including initial inspection tasks to 

identify corrosion and cracking, 

repetitive inspection intervals, and 

corrective actions (such as repairs and 

application of corrosion inhibitors) if 

corrosion or cracking is found. This 

proposed AD would also require, before 

further flight after establishing the 

program, completing all of the initial 

tasks identified in the program. Lastly, 

this proposed AD would require 

reporting corrosion findings to Viking. 

Because the program would include the 

inspection of the aileron balance weight 

arms required by AD 64–09–03, this 

proposed AD would supersede AD 64– 

09–03. 

ADs Mandating Airworthiness 

Limitations 

The FAA has previously mandated 

airworthiness limitations by issuing 

ADs that require revising the 

airworthiness limitation section (ALS) 

of the existing maintenance manual or 

instructions for continued airworthiness 

to incorporate new or revised 

inspections. This proposed AD, 

however, would require establishing 

and incorporating new inspections into 

the maintenance records required by 14 

CFR 91.417(a)(2) or 135.439(a)(2) for 

your airplane. The FAA does not intend 

this as a substantive change. Requiring 

incorporation of the new ALS 

requirements into the maintenance 

records, rather than requiring individual 

repetitive inspections and replacements, 

allows operators to record AD 

compliance once after updating the 

maintenance records, rather than 

recording compliance after every 

inspection and part replacement. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI 

The MCAI requires completing the 

actions as specified in Viking PSM–1– 

2–5. Revision 1. This proposed AD 

would not require Viking PSM–1–2–5, 

Revision 1, but would require 

establishing a corrosion prevention and 

control program using an FAA-approved 

method. However, the FAA considers 

Viking PSM 1–2–5, Revision 1 an 

approved method. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 135 

airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA also 

estimates that it would take about 342 

work-hours per airplane to establish a 

corrosion prevention and control 

program and comply with the initial 

inspection tasks of the program. 

Based on these figures, the FAA 

estimates the cost of this proposed AD 

on U.S. operators to be $3,924,450 or 

$29,070 per airplane. 

The FAA estimates it would take 

about 1-work hour to report any 

corrosion found during the proposed 

initial inspections, for an estimated cost 

of $85 per airplane. 

The extent of damage found during 

the proposed initial inspections may 

vary significantly from airplane to 

airplane. The FAA has no way to 

determine the estimated cost of repair or 

replacement of damaged parts for each 

airplane or how many airplanes may 

need these repairs or replacements. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

A federal agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, nor shall a person be subject 

to penalty for failure to comply with a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act unless that collection of 

information displays a currently valid 

OMB Control Number. The OMB 

Control Number for this information 

collection is 2120–0056. Public 

reporting for this collection of 

information is estimated to take 

approximately 1 hour per response, 

including the time for reviewing 

instructions, searching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the 

data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

All responses to this collection of 

information are mandatory. Send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including 

suggestions for reducing this burden, to:

Officer, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 10101 Hillwood 

Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177–1524. 

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 above, I 

certify that the 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,

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by 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 corrosionrelated degradation in aging aircraft. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to detect and address 

corrosion, which could lead to structural 

failure with consequent loss of control of the 

airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Inspection Tasks 

Within 8 months after the effective date of 

this AD, establish in the maintenance records 

required by 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2) or 

135.439(a)(2), as applicable for your aircraft, 

a corrosion prevention and control program 

approved by the FAA that includes initial 

inspections to identify corrosion and 

cracking, repetitive inspection intervals, and 

corrective actions (repairs and application of 

corrosion inhibitors) if corrosion or cracking 

is found. Before further flight after 

establishing the corrosion prevention and 

control program, complete all of the initial 

tasks identified in the program. To obtain 

FAA approval, you must contact the New
