Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Airbus SAS Model A350–941 and –1041 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by an 

indication that both elevator actuators of 

the PRIMary flight control computers 

(PRIMs) were considered faulty due to 

incorrect instructions with a new PRIM 

standard. This AD requires revising the 

existing airplane flight manual (AFM), 

and revising the operator’s existing 

FAA-approved minimum equipment list 

(MEL) by incorporating certain master 

minimum equipment list (MMEL) 

provisions, to include limitations and 

procedures to mitigate the risk of 

elevator failure during flare, as specified 

in a European Union Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA) Emergency AD, which 

is incorporated by reference. The FAA 

is issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 

3, 2022. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publications listed in this 

AD as of June 3, 2022. 

The FAA must receive comments on 

this AD by July 5, 2022.

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Emergency AD 

2022–0079–E, dated May 5, 2022 (EASA 

Emergency AD 2022–0079–E) (also 

referred to as the MCAI), to correct an 

unsafe condition for certain Airbus SAS 

Model A350–941 and –1041 airplanes. 

This AD was prompted by a report of 

PRIMs that indicated that both elevator 

actuators were considered faulty. 

Subsequent investigations identified 

incorrect instructions that had been 

implemented with the introduction of 

the PRIM P13 standard, which is part of 

the flight control and guidance system 

(FCGS) X13 standard installed in 

airplanes in production through Airbus 

modification 115496 and in service 

through Airbus Service Bulletin A350– 

42–P017. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address the faulty FCGS X13 standard, 

which could lead to loss of control of 

the elevator surfaces, possibly resulting 

in loss of control of the airplane. See the 

MCAI for additional background 

information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA Emergency AD 2022–0079–E 

specifies procedures for revising the 

Limitations and Normal Procedures 

sections of the existing AFM, and 

revising the operator’s existing FAAapproved MEL by incorporating MMEL 

provisions, to include limitations and 

procedures to mitigate the risk of 

elevator failure during flare. 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 this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI described above. 

The FAA is issuing this AD after 

determining that the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of these same 

type designs. 

Requirements of This AD 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions specified in EASA Emergency 

AD 2022–0079–E described previously, 

except for any differences identified as 

exceptions in the regulatory text of this 

AD. 

EASA Emergency AD 2022–0079–E 

requires operators to revise the AFM 

and ‘‘inform all flight crews, and, 

thereafter, operate the aeroplane 

accordingly.’’ However, this AD does 

not specifically require those actions as 

those actions are already required by 

FAA regulations. FAA regulations 

require operators furnish to pilots any 

changes to the AFM (for example, 14 

CFR 121.137), and to ensure the pilots 

are familiar with the AFM (for example, 

14 CFR 91.505). As with any other 

flightcrew training requirement, training 

on the updated AFM content is tracked 

by the operators and recorded in each 

pilot’s training record, which is 

available for the FAA to review. FAA 

regulations also require pilots to follow 

the procedures in the existing AFM 

including all updates. 14 CFR 91.9 

requires that any person operating a 

civil aircraft must comply with the 

operating limitations specified in the 

AFM. Therefore, including a 

requirement in this AD to operate the 

airplane according to the revised AFM 

would be redundant and unnecessary. 

Similarly, EASA Emergency AD 

2022–0079–E specifies amending the 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
30404 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

operator’s MEL and, thereafter, 

‘‘operating the aeroplane accordingly.’’ 

However, this AD does not include 

specific operating requirements as they 

are already required by FAA 

regulations. FAA regulations (14 CFR 

121.628(a)(2)) require operators to 

provide pilots with access to all of the 

information contained in the operator’s 

minimum equipment list (MEL). 

Furthermore, 14 CFR 121.628(a)(5) 

requires airplanes to be operated under 

all applicable conditions and limitations 

contained in the operator’s MEL. 

Therefore, including a requirement in 

this AD to operate the airplane 

according to the revised MEL would be 

redundant and unnecessary. 

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, EASA Emergency AD 

2022–0079–E is incorporated by 

reference in this AD. This AD requires 

compliance with EASA Emergency AD 

2022–0079–E in its entirety through that 

incorporation, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this AD. Using 

common terms that are the same as the 

heading of a particular section in EASA 

Emergency AD 2022–0079–E 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 

not limited to the section titled 

‘‘Required Action(s) and Compliance 

Time(s)’’ in EASA Emergency AD 2022– 

0079–E. Service information required by 

EASA Emergency AD 2022–0079–E for 

compliance will be available at https:// 

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2022– 

0585 after this AD is published. 

Interim Action 

The FAA considers this AD interim 

action. If final action is later identified, 

the FAA might consider further 

rulemaking then. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies 

to dispense with notice and comment 

procedures for rules when the agency, 

for ‘‘good cause,’’ finds that those 

procedures are ‘‘impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ Under this section, an agency, 

upon finding good cause, may issue a 

final rule without providing notice and 

seeking comment prior to issuance. 

Further, section 553(d) of the APA 

authorizes agencies to make rules 

effective in less than thirty days, upon 

a finding of good cause. 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD without providing an opportunity 

for public comments prior to adoption. 

The FAA has found that the risk to the 

flying public justifies forgoing notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because incorrect logic in the 

PRIMs may cause the PRIM computers 

to inadvertently lose control over their 

respective elevator actuators during 

flare phase, depending on flight 

conditions, potentially affecting every 

flight and possibly resulting in loss of 

control of the airplane in a critical phase 

of flight. Given the significance of the 

risk presented by this unsafe condition, 

it must be immediately addressed. 

Accordingly, notice and opportunity for 

prior public comment are impracticable 

and contrary to the public interest 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). 

In addition, the FAA finds that good 

cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) 

for making this amendment effective in 

less than 30 days, for the same reasons 

the FAA found good cause to forgo 

notice and comment. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

The requirements of the RFA do not 

apply when an agency finds good cause 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule 

without prior notice and comment. 

Because the FAA has determined that it 

has good cause to adopt this rule 

without notice and comment, RFA 

analysis is not required. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 30 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 

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 .............................................................................................. $0 $85 $2,550 

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, 

and 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska.

[Docket No. FAA–2022–0099; Project 

Identifier 2019–CE–019–AD; Amendment 

39–22045; AD 2022–10–07] 

RIN 2120–AA64 

Airworthiness Directives; Viking Air 

Limited (Type Certificate Previously 

Held by Bombardier, Inc. and de 

Havilland, Inc.) Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 89–24–06 

R1, which applied to all Boeing of 

Canada, Ltd. and de Havilland (now 

Viking Air Limited) Model DHC–6–1, 

DHC–6–100, DHC–6–200, and DHC–6– 

300 airplanes. AD 89–24–06 R1 required 

repetitively inspecting the elevator 

quadrant for damage and taking 

corrective action as necessary. Since the 

FAA issued AD 89–24–06 R1, Transport 

Canada, the aviation authority for 

Canada, revised its mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI) to correct this unsafe condition 

on these products. This AD retains the 

actions required by AD 89–24–06 R1, 

extends the compliance time intervals 

for the repetitive inspections, adds 

Model DHC–6–400 airplanes to the 

applicability, and adds a fluorescent 

penetrant inspection requirement. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 23, 

2022. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of June 23, 2022.
