Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc., Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–700–1A10 

and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by reports indicating that 

the left- and right-hand elevator torque 

tube bearings were contaminated with 

sand and corrosion, restricting free 

rotation. This AD requires repetitive 

general visual inspections of the leftand right-hand elevator torque tube 

bearings for any sand, dust, or 

corrosion; repetitive functional tests of 

the elevator control system; and 

replacement of the elevator torque tube 

bearings if necessary. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 29, 

2021. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of July 29, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF– 

2020–29, dated August 21, 2020 

(referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition for all Bombardier, Inc., 

Model BD–700–1A10 and BD–700– 

1A11 airplanes. You may examine the 

MCAI in the AD docket on the internet 

at https://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0093. 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to all Bombardier, Inc., Model 

BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on February 24, 2021 

(86 FR 11180). The NPRM was 

prompted by reports indicating that the 

left- and right-hand elevator torque tube 

bearings were contaminated with sand 

and corrosion, restricting free rotation. 

The NPRM proposed to require 

repetitive general visual inspections of 

the left- and right-hand elevator torque 

tube bearings for any sand, dust, or 

corrosion; repetitive functional tests of 

the elevator control system; and 

replacement of the elevator torque tube 

bearings if necessary. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to address sand 

contamination and corrosion of the 

elevator torque tube bearings, which 

could lead to binding or seizure of the 

bearings, and potentially lead to a 

reduction in or loss of airplane pitch 

control. See the MCAI for additional 

background information. 

Comments 

The FAA gave the public the 

opportunity to participate in developing 

this final rule. The FAA received no 

comments on the NPRM or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data 

and determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this 

final rule as proposed, except for minor 

editorial changes. The FAA has 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

addressing the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM.

elevator torque tube bearings for any 

sand, dust, or corrosion; repetitive 

functional tests of the elevator control

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 392 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS * 

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. 

operators 

22 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,870 .............. Up to $4 (for four cotter pins) ** ........................... Up to $1,874 .......... Up to $734,608. 

* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting. 

** Parts cost include replacement parts where necessary. 

The FAA estimates that it would take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the reporting requirement 

in this AD. The average labor rate is $85 

per hour. Based on these figures, the 

FAA estimates the cost of reporting the 

inspection results on U.S. operators to 

be $33,320, or $85 per product. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary on-condition 

action that would be required based on 

the results of any required actions. The 

FAA has no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need this 

on-condition action: 

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $425 ........................................................................... $271 (for four bearings) ............................ $696 

According to the manufacturer, some 

or all of the costs of this AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

operators. The FAA does not control 

warranty coverage for affected operators. 

As a result, the FAA has included all 

known costs in the cost estimate. 

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 current valid 

OMB control number. The control 

number for the collection of information 

required by this AD is 2120–0056. The 

paperwork cost associated with this AD 

has been detailed in the Costs of 

Compliance section of this document 

and includes time for reviewing 

instructions, as well as completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

Therefore, all reporting associated with 

this AD is mandatory. Comments 

concerning the accuracy of this burden 

and suggestions for reducing the burden 

should be directed to Information 

Collection Clearance 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 

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.

This AD requires establishing life limits 

and CMR tasks for various parts. 

Depending on the results of the CMR 

tasks, this AD requires corrective action. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address
