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: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

Airbus SAS: Docket No. FAA–2022–0464; 

Project Identifier MCAI–2021–01290–T. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by June 2, 2022. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model 

A350–941 and –1041 airplanes, certificated 

in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 22, Auto Flight. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report of 

inadvertent auto flight system (AFS) altitude 

changes on the flight control unit (FCU); an 

investigation revealed that, depending on the 

ring selection, failure of the ALT knob on the 

FCU could change the target altitude. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address erroneous 

target altitude during descent, climb, or goaround, which could result in an unexpected 

vertical trajectory deviation and loss of 

correct situational awareness that could 

potentially result in uncontrolled impact 

with the ground. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2021–0260, dated 

November 18, 2021 (EASA AD 2021–0260). 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2021–0260 

(1) Where EASA AD 2021–0260 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2021– 

0260 specifies to ‘‘inform all flight crews, and 

thereafter, operate the aeroplane 

accordingly,’’ this AD does not require those 

actions as those actions are already required 

by existing FAA operating regulations. 

(3) The ‘‘Remarks’’ section of EASA AD 

2021–0260 does not apply to this AD. 

(i) Additional AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Large Aircraft 

Section, International Validation Branch, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 

14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your 

principal inspector or responsible Flight 

Standards Office, as appropriate. If sending 

information directly to the Large Aircraft 

Section, International Validation Branch, 

send it to the attention of the person 

identified in paragraph (j)(2) of this AD. 

Information may be emailed to: 9-AVS-AIR730-AMOC@faa.gov. Before using any 

approved AMOC, notify your appropriate 

principal inspector, or lacking a principal 

inspector, the manager of the responsible

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, 

and A321 series airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by a report 

that damage (including delamination of 

work deck, and corroded and cracked 

retainer blocks) was found during 

inspection of certain galleys. This 

proposed AD would require repetitive 

inspections of certain galleys for 

corrosion of trolley retainer aluminum 

blocks and delamination of the upper 

panel of the trolley compartment, and 

applicable corrective action, as specified 

in a European Union Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed 

for incorporation by reference. This 

proposed AD would also limit the 

installation of affected parts under 

certain conditions. 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 June 2, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2021– 

0183R1, dated September 20, 2021 

(EASA AD 2021–0183R1) (also referred 

to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition for all Airbus SAS Model 

A318–111, –112, –121, and –122 

airplanes; Model A319–111, –112, –113, 

–114, –115, –131, –132, –133, –151N, 

–153N, and –171N airplanes; Model 

A320–211, –212, –214, –215, –216, 

–231, –232, –233, –251N, –252N, 

–253N, –271N, –272N, and –273N 

airplanes; and Model A321–111, –112, 

–131, –211, –212, –213, –231, –232, 

–251N, –251NX, –252N, –252NX, 

–253N, –253NX, –271N, –271NX, 

–272N, and –272NX airplanes. Model 

A320–215 airplanes are not certificated 

by the FAA and are not included on the 

U.S. type certificate data sheet; this AD 

therefore does not include those 

airplanes in the applicability. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a report that damage (including 

delamination of the work deck, and 

corroded and cracked retainer blocks) 

was found during inspection of certain 

galleys. The FAA is proposing this AD 

to detect and correct damage that could 

affect the galley’s capability to hold the 

trolley under emergency landing loads, 

which could lead to trolley detachment, 

possibly resulting in blocking of an 

escape path during an emergency exit. 

See the MCAI for additional background 

information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2021–0183R1 specifies 

procedures for repetitive general visual 

inspections of certain galleys for 

discrepancies including corrosion of 

trolley retainer aluminum blocks and 

delamination of upper panel of trolley 

compartment, and corrective action. 

Corrective actions include repeating the 

inspection at an earlier interval, 

repairing the trolley compartment upper 

panel, and limiting trolley weight. This 

material 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 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with the State 

of Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA 

is issuing this NPRM after determining 

that the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

in other products of these same type 

designs. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

EASA AD 2021–0183R1 described 

previously, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

This proposed AD would also limit the 

installation of affected parts under 

certain conditions. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has been coordinating 

this process with manufacturers and 

CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to 

incorporate EASA AD 2021–0183R1 by 

reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2021– 

0183R1 in its entirety through that 

incorporation, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

Using common terms that are the same 

as the heading of a particular section in 

EASA AD 2021–0183R1 does not mean 

that operators need comply only with 

that section. For example, where the AD 

requirement refers to ‘‘all required 

actions and compliance times,’’ 

compliance with this AD requirement is 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
22820 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

not limited to the section titled 

‘‘Required Action(s) and Compliance 

Time(s)’’ in EASA AD 2021–0183R1. 

Service information required by EASA 

AD 2021–0183R1 for compliance will be 

available at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2022–0463 after the FAA final 

rule is published. 

Interim Action 

The FAA considers this proposed AD 

interim action. If final action is later 

identified, the FAA might consider 

further rulemaking then. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD would affect 1,425 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 

2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 per galley, per inspection cycle.$0 $170 per inspection cycle ....... $242,250 per inspection cycle. 

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 per galley .............................................................. Minimal ...................................................... $85 

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.
