Deutsche Aircraft GmbH (Type 

Certificate Previously Held by 328 

Support Services GmbH; AvCraft 

Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild Dornier 

GmbH; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH) Model 

328–100 and –300 airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by a safety 

analysis that lithium batteries installed 

in the personal electronic devices (PED) 

are a potential risk of an in-flight fire in 

the flight deck stowage boxes. This 

proposed AD would require installing a 

placard and stowing the fire gloves on 

the left-hand (LH) flap door of the flight 

deck step; and installing the placards on 

the LH and right-hand (RH) flight deck 

stowage boxes. This proposed AD 

would also require revising the existing 

airplane flight manual (AFM) to include 

emergency procedures, as specified in a 

European Union Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) AD, which is proposed for 

incorporation by reference. The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products.

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2022–0050, 

dated March 22, 2022 (EASA AD 2022– 

0050) (also referred to as the MCAI), to 

correct an unsafe condition for all 

Deutsche Aircraft GmbH (Type 

Certificate Previously Held by 328 

Support Services GmbH; AvCraft 

Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild Dornier 

GmbH; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH) Model 

328–100 and 328–300 airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a safety analysis that lithium batteries 

installed in the PED are a potential risk 

of an in-flight fire in the flight deck 

stowage boxes. EASA issued Continuing 

Airworthiness Review Item (CARI) 25– 

09, requesting type certificate holders to 

investigate the potential risk of in-flight 

fire of lithium batteries installed in PED. 

The investigation was conducted on the 

effect of a PED fire on a critical system 

component, and the development of 

smoke in the flight deck. Deutsche 

Aircraft GmbH Model 328–100 and –300 

airplanes have the stowages for PED 

located in the proximity of oxygen lines, 

oxygen mask boxes, and other critical 

system components in the flight deck. 

The safety analysis was performed at all 

possible locations, and concluded that 

in case of a PED fire, the panels of the 

side console forward stowage may not 

be able to withstand the released heat, 

and the oxygen supply line can be 

damaged. The FAA is proposing this AD 

to address the potential risk of an inflight fire of the lithium batteries 

installed in the PED, which could result 

in an oxygen fed fire in the flight deck, 

possibly resulting in an uncontrolled 

fire. See the MCAI for additional 

background information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2022–0050 specifies 

procedures for installing a ‘‘FIRE 

GLOVES’’ pictogram placard and 

stowing the fire gloves on the LH flap 

door of the flight deck step; and 

installing the ‘‘NO PED STOWAGE’’ 

placards on the LH and RH flight deck 

stowage boxes. EASA AD 2022–0050 

also specifies revising the airplane flight 

manual (AFM) to include emergency 

procedures to address smoke including 

PED smoke removal. 

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 2022–0050 described 

previously, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

EASA AD 2022–0050 requires 

operators to ‘‘inform all flight crews’’ of 

revisions to the AFM, and thereafter to 

‘‘operate the aeroplane accordingly.’’ 

However, this proposed AD would 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 flight 

crew 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 proposed AD to 

operate the airplane according to the 

revised AFM 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, the FAA proposes to 

incorporate EASA AD 2022–0050 by 

reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2022–0050 

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 2022–0050 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 AD 2022–0050. 

Service information required by EASA 

AD 2022–0050 for compliance will be 

available at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2022–0688 after the FAA final 

rule is published. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD would affect 35 airplanes of U.S. 

registry. The FAA estimates the 

following costs to comply with this 

proposed AD:

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.

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: 

Deutsche Aircraft GmbH (Type Certificate 

Previously Held by 328 Support Services 

GmbH; AvCraft Aerospace GmbH; 

Fairchild Dornier GmbH; Dornier 

Luftfahrt GmbH): Docket No. FAA– 

2022–0688; Project Identifier MCAI– 

2022–00409–T. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by August 5, 

2022. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Deutsche Aircraft 

GmbH (Type Certificate Previously Held by 

328 Support Services GmbH; AvCraft 

Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild Dornier GmbH;

category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 11, Placards and markings and 

25, Equipment/furnishings. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a safety analysis 

that lithium batteries installed in personal 

electronic devices (PED) are a potential risk 

of an in-flight fire in the flight deck stowage 

boxes. The PED fire could spread out of the 

flight deck stowage boxes to the oxygen 

supply lines and other critical system 

components. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address the potential risk of in-flight fire of 

lithium batteries installed in PED, which 

could result in an oxygen fed fire in the flight 

deck, possibly resulting in an uncontrolled 

fire. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and 

(i) of this AD: Comply with all required 

actions and compliance times specified in, 

and in accordance with, European Union 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2022– 

0050, dated March 22, 2022 (EASA AD 2022– 

0050). 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2022–0050 

(1) Where EASA AD 2022–0050 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2022– 

0050 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) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2022– 

0050 specifies to amend or use the airplane 

flight manual (AFM), replace the text ‘‘amend 

the applicable AFM by incorporating the 

AFM emergency procedure or use the AFM’’ 

with ‘‘amend the applicable existing AFM by 

incorporating the information specified in 

the AFM emergency procedure.’’ 

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

2022–0050 does not apply to this AD. 

(i) No Reporting Requirements 

Although the service information 

referenced in EASA AD 2022–0050 specifies 

reporting, this AD does not include that 

requirement. 

(j) 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,

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2019–26–11, which applies to certain 

Airbus SAS Model A319–112, –115, and 

–132; A320–214, –216, –232, –233, 

–251N, and –271N; and A321–211, 

–231, –232, –251N, and –253N 

airplanes; and AD 2021–23–15, which 

applies to certain Airbus SAS Model 

A319–111, –112, –113, –114, –115, 

–131, –132, and –133; A320–211, –212, 

–214, –216, –231, –232, and –233; and 

A321–111, –112, –131, –211, –212, 

–213, –231, and –232 airplanes. AD 

2019–26–11 requires replacing the 

affected bumpers with serviceable 

bumpers. AD 2021–23–15 requires 

modifying the waste compartment door 

of each affected galley. Since the FAA 

issued AD 2019–26–11 and AD 2021– 

23–15, it was determined that additional 

airplanes are subject to the unsafe 

conditions described in those ADs. This 

proposed AD would continue to require 

the actions in AD 2019–26–11 and AD 

2021–23–15, and would add airplanes 

to the applicability, as specified in a 

European Union Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) AD, which is proposed for 

incorporation by reference. 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 August 5, 2022.

Confidential Business Information 

CBI is commercial or financial

from public disclosure. If your

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI
