Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS 

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 all 

Airbus SAS Model A350–941 airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by a 

report indicating that the inflatable free 

aisle restrictor (IFAR) on certain single 

lane slide-rafts demonstrated 

inconsistent release behavior in aft wind 

conditions. This proposed AD would 

require replacing an affected part with 

a serviceable part, as specified in a 

European Union Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) AD, which is proposed for 

incorporation by reference. This 

proposed AD would also prohibit the 

installation of affected parts. 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 1, 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 2022–0013, 

dated January 25, 2022 (EASA AD 

2022–0013) (also referred to as the 

MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Airbus SAS Model A350–941 

airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a report indicating that following the 

introduction of the IFAR system on 

single lane slide-rafts, the IFAR 

demonstrated inconsistent release 

behavior due to interference or 

entanglement of the upper part of the 

IFAR with the slide-raft cover or door 

structure in aft wind conditions. These 

affected slide-rafts are installed at 

passenger door 3, left-hand and righthand sides. The FAA is proposing this 

AD to address inconsistent release of 

single lane slide-rafts having the IFAR 

system, which if not corrected, could 

result in a slide-raft being unusable 

during an emergency and impair the 

safe evacuation of occupants. See the 

MCAI for additional background 

information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2022–0013 specifies 

procedures for replacing escape sliderafts having certain part numbers 

(affected parts) with serviceable parts 

(which includes parts that have been 

modified and re-identified). EASA AD 

2022–0013 also prohibits the 

installation of affected parts on any 

airplane. 

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 

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, 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 the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

EASA AD 2022–0013 described 

previously, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

This proposed AD would also prohibit 

the installation of affected parts. 

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 2022–0013 by 

reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2022–0013 

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 2022–0013 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 2022–0013. 

Service information required by EASA 

AD 2022–0013 for compliance will be 

available at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2022–0686 after the FAA final 

rule is published. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD would affect 30 airplanes of U.S. 

registry. The FAA estimates the 

following costs to comply with this 

proposed AD: 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
36420 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 117 / Friday, June 17, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Up to 11 work-hours × $85 per hour = Up to $935 ......................................................... $400 Up to $1,335 ....... Up to $40,050. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

or all of the costs of this proposed AD 

maybe covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

operators. The FAA does not control 

warranty coverage for affected operators. 

As a result, the FAA has included all 

known costs in the cost estimate. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

amend the Class D airspace, Class E 

surface airspace, and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface and remove the Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D and Class E surface airspace at 

La Crosse Regional Airport, La Crosse, 

WI, to support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views, 

or arguments, as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions
