Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc., Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for 

certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD– 

100–1A10 airplanes. This proposed AD 

was prompted by a discovery that a 

lockwire may not have been installed on 

the side stay actuator pin nut of the 

main landing gear (MLG). This proposed 

AD would require inspecting the lefthand and right-hand MLG side stay 

actuator assembly pin nut for the 

presence of a lockwire, and installing a 

lockwire if necessary. 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 September 27, 

2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR

Background 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF– 

2020–52, dated November 30, 2020 (also 

referred to after this as the Mandatory 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 153 / Thursday, August 12, 2021 / Proposed Rules 44315 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., 

Model BD–100–1A10 airplanes. You 

may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0658. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a discovery that a lockwire may not 

have been installed on the side stay 

actuator pin nut of the MLG. The FAA 

is proposing this AD to address a 

possible missing lockwire, which could 

result in loss of the nut, and if 

undetected, lead to the collapse of the 

affected MLG. See the MCAI for 

additional background information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier has issued Service 

Bulletin 100–32–36, dated June 25, 

2020; and Service Bulletin 350–32–012, 

dated June 25, 2020. This service 

information describes procedures for 

inspecting the left-hand and right-hand 

MLG side stay actuator assembly pin 

nut for presence of a lockwire and 

installing a lockwire. These documents 

are distinct since they apply to different 

airplane configurations. 

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. 

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 the State 

of Design Authority, the FAA has been 

notified of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and service 

information referenced above. The FAA 

is proposing this AD because the FAA 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information already 

described. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 623 

airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA 

estimates the following costs to comply 

with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 .............................................................................................. $0 $85 $52,955 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary on-condition 

actions 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 these 

on-condition actions: 

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 .......................................................................................................................... $1 $86 

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 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 

39 as follows:
