SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2021–0238, 

dated November 2, 2021 (EASA AD 

2021–0238), to correct an unsafe 

condition for Leonardo S.p.a., formerly 

Finmeccanica S.p.A., AgustaWestland 

S.p.A., Model AW169 helicopters, serial 

numbers (S/N) from 69006 up to 69125 

inclusive, except S/N 69040; and S/N 

69130, 69132, 69133, 69134, 69136, and 

69139. 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW169 

helicopters as identified in EASA AD 

2021–0238. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on March 21, 2022 (87 

FR 15894). The NPRM was prompted by 

a report of a blockage in a fuel tank vent 

line. The NPRM proposed to require 

inspecting the fuel tank vent lines, as 

specified in EASA AD 2021–0238. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect 

and address the blockage. See EASA AD 

2021–0238 for additional background 

information. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received comments from 

two commenters. Commenters included 

AgustaWestland Philadelphia 

Corporation, who had no technical 

objection to the proposed AD, and an 

anonymous commenter who provided 

no comments on the proposed actions or 

on the determination of the costs. 

Conclusion 

These helicopters have been approved 

by EASA and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 116 / Thursday, June 16, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 36215 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with the 

European Union, EASA has notified the 

FAA about the unsafe condition 

described in its AD. The FAA reviewed 

the relevant data, considered the 

comments received, and determined 

that air safety requires adopting this AD 

as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these helicopters. Except 

for minor editorial changes, this AD is 

adopted as proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2021–0238 requires a onetime inspection of the fuel tank vent 

lines and, depending on findings, 

accomplishment of applicable corrective 

action(s). 

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. 

Other Related Service Information 

The FAA also reviewed Leonardo 

Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No. 

169–205, dated September 20, 2021. 

This service information specifies 

procedures for a one-off borescope 

inspection of the right and left fuel tank 

vent lines. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

EASA AD 

EASA AD 2021–0238 states to remove 

the sealant obstructions in accordance 

with the instructions of the service 

information and to contact Leonardo for 

approved corrective actions instructions 

and accomplishing those instructions 

within the compliance time specified 

therein; whereas, this AD requires repair 

done before further flight in accordance 

with a method approved by the 

Manager, General Aviation and 

Rotorcraft Section, International 

Validation Branch, FAA; or EASA; or 

Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters’ EASA 

Design Organization Approval (DOA). If 

approved by the DOA, the approval 

must include the DOA-authorized 

signature. 

EASA AD 2021–0238 states to inspect 

the fuel tank vent lines in accordance 

with the instructions of the service 

information, which specifies inspecting 

for evidence of a partial or total Proseal 

obstruction. This AD requires inspecting 

for a partial or total Proseal obstruction. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 6 helicopters of U.S. Registry. 

Labor rates are estimated at $85 per 

work-hour. Based on these numbers, the 

FAA estimates the following costs to 

comply with this AD. 

Borescope inspecting the fuel tank 

vent lines takes approximately 6 workhours for an estimated cost of $510 per 

helicopter and up to $3,060 for the U.S. 

fleet. The FAA has no way of knowing 

the cost to repair a fuel tank vent line. 

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.

Airworthiness Directives; British 

Aerospace (Operations) Limited and 

British Aerospace Regional Aircraft 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017–15– 

06 for all British Aerospace Regional 

Aircraft Model HP.137 Jetstream Mk.1, 

Jetstream Series 200 and 3101, and 

Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes. AD 

2017–15–06 required repetitively 

inspecting the main landing gear (MLG) 

for cracks and, if cracks were found, 

replacing the MLG with an airworthy 

part. Since the FAA issued AD 2017– 

15–06, the Civil Aviation Authority 

(CAA) of the United Kingdom (UK) 

superseded the mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued by the European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA) to correct an unsafe 

condition on these products. This AD 

retains the initial inspection and the 

calculation of hours time-in-service to 

flight cycle actions required by AD 

2017–15–06, but decreases the repetitive 

inspection interval time from 1,200 

flight cycles to 900 flight cycles. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 21, 

2022. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of July 21, 2022. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain other publication listed in
