**SUMMARY** 

### : We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010–23–
12 for certain Airbus Model A330 and Model A340 series airplanes. AD 2010– 23–12 required inspecting to determine the part number for Thales Avionics Angle of Attack (AoA) probes, and replacing any affected probe with a serviceable probe. This new AD adds airplanes to the applicability and, for certain airplanes, requires that those affected probes be replaced. This AD was prompted by reports that the AoA sensors on certain airplanes were
modified and re-identified without performing the inspection to determine the part number; therefore, the affected probes were not replaced with serviceable probes. We are issuing this AD to prevent erroneous AoA information and consequent delayed
activation or non-activation of the AoA protection systems, which, in combination with flight at a high angle of attack, could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.

Discussion

We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2010–23–12, Amendment 39–16501 (75 FR 68698, November 9, 2010). AD 2010–23–12 applied to certain Airbus Model A330 and Model A340 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 26, 2013 (78 FR 59295). The NPRM was prompted by reports that the AoA sensors on certainairplanes were modified and reidentified without performing the inspection to determine the part number; therefore, the affected probes were not replaced with serviceable probes. The NPRM proposed to require inspecting to determine the part number for Thales Avionics Angle of Attack (AoA) probes, and replacing any affected probe with a serviceable probe. We are issuing this AD to prevent
erroneous AoA information andconsequent delayed activation or nonactivation of the AoA protection systems, which, in combination with flight at a high angle of attack, could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2013–0068, dated March 15, 2013 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI

states:

During Airbus Final Assembly Line reception flight tests, Angle of Attack (AoA) data from two different aeroplanes were found inaccurate, which was confirmed by flight data analysis.

The results of the investigation conducted by Airbus and Thales on the removed sensors
revealed oil residue between the stator and the rotor parts of the AoA vane position
resolvers. This oil residue was the result of incorrect removal of machining oil during the manufacturing process of the AoA resolvers. At low temperatures, this oil residue becomes viscous (typically in cruise) causing delayed and/or reduced AoA vane movement. Multiple AoA sensors could be simultaneously affected, providing incorrect indications of the AoA of the aeroplane.

This condition, if not corrected, could lead
to erroneous AoA information andconsequent delayed activation or nonactivation of the AoA protection systems which, if during flight at a high angle of attack, could result in reduced control of the aeroplane. To address this unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2010–0016R1 [( http:// ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa

_ ad

_ 2013

_ 0068.pdf/AD

_ 2011-0007R1

_ 1 )] [which corresponds to FAA AD 2010–23–12, Amendment 39–16501 (75 FR 68698, November 9, 2010)] to require the identification of the serial number (S/N) of each installed Thales Avionics (formerly SEXTANT), Part Number (P/N) C16291AA AoA sensor and the replacement of all suspect units with serviceable one. EASA AD 2010–0016R1 also prohibited the (re)
installation of these same S/N AoA sensors on any aeroplane, unless corrective measures had been accomplished.

Since that [EASA] AD was issued, it was discovered that a part of the affected population of AoA sensors may have been
modified and re-identified from P/N C16291AA to P/N C16291AB, in accordance
with the instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin (SB) A330–34–3228 or SB A340–34– 5070, as applicable to aeroplane type, without having passed the inspection in
accordance with the instructions of Thales Avionics SB C16291A–34–007, Revision 01.

For the reasons described above, this new [EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA AD 2010–0016R1, which is superseded, [adds airplanes to the applicability, and requires, for the affected population that was not addressed by EASA AD 2010–0016R1, the replacement of the suspect units with
serviceable ones.

Revised Service Information

Since the NPRM (78 FR 59295, September 26, 2013) was published, we have received the following service
information:

• Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330–34–3232, Revision 01, dated September 17, 2013 (for Model A330– 200 and A330–300 series airplanes);

• Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340–34–4239, Revision 01, dated September 17, 2013 (for Model A340– 200 and A340–300 series airplanes); and

• Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340–34–5072, Revision 01, dated September 17, 2013 (for Model A340– 500, and A340–600 series airplanes).

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We
considered the comment received.

Request To Include Revised Service
Information

Airbus asked that we include the
service information identified previously under ‘‘Revised Service Information’’ as a means of compliance for accomplishing the required actions.

We agree with the commenter and
have included this new service information in paragraph (i) of this AD. We have also given credit for previous revisions of the service information by adding a new paragraph (k) to this AD and redesignating subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Change to Paragraph (g) of This AD

The NPRM (78 FR 59295, September 26, 2013) contained a typographical error in paragraph (g) of the NPRM. The last sentence of paragraph (g) of the NPRM referred to ‘‘paragraph (l) of this AD.’’ Paragraph (l) of the NPRM
contained the ‘‘Other FAA AD
Provisions’’ text. The last sentence of paragraph (g) of the NPRM should have
referred to the ‘‘Parts Installation Limitations’’ text, which was in paragraph (k) of the NPRM. However, we have not changed the last sentence in paragraph (g) of this AD to refer to paragraph (k) of this AD, because the reference to paragraph (l) of this AD is now correct. As stated previously, a new paragraph (k) was added to this AD and, therefore, paragraph (k) of the NPRM is now referred to as paragraph (l) in this

AD.

Conclusion

We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described previously. We have determined that these changes:

• Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 59295, September 26, 2013) for correcting the unsafe condition; and

• Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 59295, September 26, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD affects about 70 products of U.S. registry.

The actions that were required by AD 2010–23–12, Amendment 39–16501 (75 FR 68698, November 9, 2010), and are
retained in this AD take about 3 workhours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the retained required actions is $255 per product.

We estimate that it takes about 9 work-hours per product to comply with the new basic requirements of this AD.The average labor rate is $85 per workhour. Required parts cost about $0 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 parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher


## 18624 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 64 / Thursday, April 3, 2014 / Rules and Regulations

than estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the AD on U.S. operators to be $53,550, or $765 per product.

We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide cost estimates for the optional terminating action specified in this AD.

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 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 the DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; 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.

(d) Subject

Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 34: Navigation.

(e) Reason

This AD was prompted by reports that the Angle of Attack (AoA) sensors on certain airplanes were modified and re-identified without performing the inspection to determine the part number; therefore, the affected probes were not replaced with serviceable probes. We are issuing this AD to prevent erroneous AoA information andconsequent delayed activation or nonactivation of the AoA protection systems, which, in combination with flight at a high angle of attack, could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.

(g) Retained Inspection of AoA Probes

This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2010–23–12, Amendment 39–16501 (75 FR 68698, November 9, 2010). For airplanes on which an AoA sensor having part number (P/N) C16291AA is installed, except as provided by paragraph (l) of this AD: Within 3 months after December 14, 2010 (the effective date of AD 2010–23–12), perform a detailed inspection of the Thales Avionics AoA probes having P/N C16291AA for a serial number identification, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service information identified in paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), and (g)(3) of this AD. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the serial number of the AoA probe can be conclusively determined from that review. If no AoA probe having P/N C16291AA and a
serial number identified in Thales Service Bulletin C16291A–34–007, Revision 01, dated December 3, 2009, is identified during the inspection required by this paragraph of this AD, no further action is required by this AD, except as provided by paragraph (l) of
this AD.
