Mariner Helicopters, and Model R44, 

and R44 II Helicopters 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This document proposes 

adopting a new airworthiness directive 

(AD) for Robinson Model R22, R22 

Alpha, R22 Beta, and R22 Mariner 

helicopters, and Model R44 and R44 II 

helicopters. The AD would require 

visually inspecting each tail rotor (T/R) 

control pedal bearing block support 

(support) for a crack, measuring the 

thickness of each uncracked support, 

installing support safety tabs on certain 

supports, and replacing supports of a 

certain thickness during overhaul. This 

proposal is prompted by two reports of 

Model R22 helicopters experiencing 

broken supports during flight, which 

resulted in the T/R control pedals 

becoming jammed. The actions 

specified by the proposed AD are 

intended to prevent the supports from 

breaking, which can bind the T/R 

control pedals, resulting in a reduction 

of yaw control and subsequent loss of 

control of the helicopter. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 13, 2010.

Discussion 

This document proposes adopting a 

new AD for Robinson Model R22, R22 

Alpha, R22 Beta, and R22 Mariner 

helicopters, serial numbers (S/N) 0002 

through 3325, that have more than 2,200 

hours total time-in-service (TIS); and 

Model R44 and R44 II helicopters, S/N 

0001 through 1200, that have more than 

2,200 hours total TIS. The AD would 

require, within 100 hours TIS, visually 

inspecting both A359–1 and A359–2 

supports for a crack and replacing any 

cracked or broken support before further 

flight, and if not cracked, measuring the 

thickness of both supports and if less 

than 0.050-inch thick, installing support 

safety tabs, and at the next 2,200 hour 

TIS overhaul, replacing any support that 

is less than 0.050-inch thick with a 

support that is at least 0.050-inch thick. 

This proposal is prompted by two 

reports of Model R22 helicopters with 

more than 7,000 hours TIS, with 

supports made from 0.040-inch thick 

sheet metal, experiencing broken 

supports during flight, which led to the 

T/R control pedals becoming jammed, 

resulting in hard landings and damage 

to the helicopters. The actions specified 

by the proposed AD are intended to 

prevent the supports from breaking, 

which can bind the T/R control pedals, 

resulting in a reduction of yaw control 

and subsequent loss of control of the 

helicopter. 

We have reviewed Robinson 

Helicopter Company Service Bulletin 

SB–63 and SB–97, both dated February 

22, 2008, which describe procedures for 

inspecting both supports for a crack, 

and if no crack is found, measuring each 

support and installing safety tabs on 

supports that are less than 0.050-inch 

thick, and at the next 2,200 hour TIS 

overhaul, replacing certain supports. 

This unsafe condition is likely to exist 

or develop on other helicopters of the 

same type design. The actions would be 

required to be accomplished by 

following specified portions of the 

service bulletins described previously. 

This proposed AD would affect 4,524 

helicopters of U.S. registry, and 

proposed actions would take 

approximately 0.5 work hour to inspect 

and measure the supports. We estimate 

that 2,050 helicopters would require an 

additional 1 work hour to install both 

safety tabs; 6 work hours to replace both 

supports if cracked or broken or before 

overhaul, or 3 work hours to replace 

both supports as part of a 2,200 hours 

TIS overhaul, at an average labor rate of 

$85 per work hour. Required parts 

would cost approximately $20 per 

support if replacement is required. 

Based on these figures, the total cost 

impact of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators would be $1,101,830, 

assuming 1,538 (approximately 75% of 

the 2,050 helicopters) have both 

supports replaced during overhaul, and 

512 helicopters (approximately 25% of 

the 2,050 helicopters) have both 

supports replaced before the next 2,200 

hours TIS overhaul. 

Regulatory Findings 

We have determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. Additionally, 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. is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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. 

We prepared a draft economic 

evaluation of the estimated costs to 

comply with this proposed AD. See the 

AD docket to examine the draft 

economic evaluation. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background. At the request of the 

states of Delaware, New Jersey and 

Pennsylvania, which border the 

Delaware Estuary (hereinafter, ‘‘the 

Estuary States’’), the Commission in 

1996 adopted water quality criteria for 

human health and aquatic life for Water 

Quality Zones 2 through 5 (Trenton, 

New Jersey to Delaware Bay) of the main 

stem Delaware River and the tidal 

portions of its tributaries for a set of 

pollutants that included the list of 

Priority Pollutants published by the 

EPA in accordance with section 307 of 

the federal Clean Water Act (CWA); 

other pollutants for which EPA had 

published national recommended 

criteria in accordance with section 

304(a) of the CWA; and additional 

pollutants for which one or more of the 

Estuary States had adopted criteria. See 

40 CFR 401.15 (consisting of a list of 65 

toxic pollutants, including categories of 

pollutants, for which effluent 

limitations are required in accordance 

with section 307(a)(1) of the Clean 

Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1317(a)(1)); 

Appendix A of 40 CFR Part 423 

(consisting of a list of 129 ‘‘Priority 

Pollutants,’’ individual chemicals and 

forms of chemicals for which EPA has 

established national criteria); and 33 

U.S.C. 1314(a) (providing for criteria 

development and publication by EPA).
