14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2005-20011; Directorate Identifier 2003-NM-22-AD; 
Amendment 39-14382; AD 2005-24-02]

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. 
(EMBRAER) Model EMB-135 Airplanes and Model EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -
145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive 
(AD), which applies to certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135 airplanes and 
Model EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP 
airplanes. That AD currently requires revising the airplane flight 
manual (AFM) to prohibit in-flight auxiliary power unit (APU) starts, 
and installing a placard on or near the APU start/stop switch panel to 
provide such instructions to the flightcrew. This new AD adds an 
optional revision to the AFM that allows limited APU starts and adds a 
terminating action. This AD results from the airplane manufacturer 
developing modifications that revise or eliminate the need for 
restrictions to in-flight APU starts. We are issuing this AD to prevent 
flame backflow into the APU compartment through the eductor during in-
flight APU starts, which could result in fire in the APU compartment.

DATES: This AD becomes effective December 28, 2005.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of December 28, 
2005.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov or in person at the Docket Management Facility, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Examining the Docket

    You may examine the airworthiness directive (AD) docket on the 
Internet at http://dms.dot.gov or in person at the Docket Management 
Facility office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 
except Federal holidays. The Docket Management Facility office 
(telephone (800) 647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Nassif 
Building at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section.

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2001-10-01, amendment 
39-12226 (66 FR 24049, May 11, 2001), for certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135 
and EMB-145 series airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal 
Register on January 12, 2005 (70 FR 2057). That NPRM proposed to 
continue to require revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to 
prohibit in-flight auxiliary power unit (APU) starts, and installing a 
placard on or near the APU start/stop switch panel to provide such 
instructions to the flightcrew. That NPRM also proposed an optional 
revision to the AFM that allows limited APU starts and a terminating 
action.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the 
development of this AD. We have considered the comments that have been 
received on the NPRM.

Request To Revise Applicability to Refer to Model T-62T-40C14 as APS 
500R

    One commenter requests that the applicability be revised to refer 
to Model T-62T-40C14 as APS 500R. The commenter states that the 
commercial model designation for APU model T-62T-40C14 is APS 500R. The 
``S'' in APS 500R is not a typographical error, as stated in the NPRM, 
and is the correct nomenclature.
    We agree with the commenter and have revised the applicability of 
the final rule. This revision does not change the number of airplanes 
affected by the final rule.

Request To Revise Description of Part Number (P/N) 120-45060-001

    One commenter requests that the description of P/N 120-45060-001 in 
the second paragraph of the ``Relevant Service Information'' section of 
the NPRM be revised. The commenter states that ``flush-type APU air 
inlet'' should be revised to ``flush-type air inlet frame.''
    We agree with the commenter that the part is a flush-type air inlet 
frame and we have revised paragraph (g) of the final rule to specify 
installing a ``flush-type APU air inlet frame.'' We have not revised 
the ``Relevant Service Information'' section, as that section is not 
restated in the final rule.

Request To Refer to Latest Revision of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-
0018

    Two commenters request that the NPRM refer to the latest revision 
of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-0018. One commenter states that 
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-0018, Change 03, dated January 3, 2002 
(referenced as the appropriate source of service information for 
accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (h) of the NPRM) 
should be replaced with Change 04, dated November 26, 2002. The other 
commenter states that

[[Page 70708]]

Revision 8 is the latest revision of the service bulletin.
    We agree to revise the final rule to reference EMBRAER Service 
Bulletin 145-49-0018, Change 04, dated November 26, 2002, which is the 
latest revision. The procedures in Change 04 of the service bulletin 
are essentially the same as those in Change 03 of the referenced 
service bulletin. We have also added Change 03 of the service bulletin 
to paragraph (k) of the final rule to state that actions accomplished 
before the effective date of this AD per Change 03 of the service 
bulletin are acceptable for compliance with the requirements of this 
final rule.

Request To Revise Description of P/N 145-48999-401

    Two commenters request that, where the NPRM refers to P/N 145-
48999-401 as a flush-type air inlet, the reference should be revised to 
say a raised-type APU air inlet frame. One commenter states that 
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-0018 (referenced as the appropriate 
source of service information for accomplishing the actions specified 
in paragraph (h) of the NPRM) refers to P/N 145-48999-401 as a raised-
type APU air inlet frame. In addition, the service bulletin describes 
P/N 145-52453-401 as a raised-type APU air inlet frame.
    We agree with the commenters. Both part numbers are raised-type APU 
air inlet frames that may be installed in accordance with EMBRAER 
Service Bulletin 145-49-0018, Change 04, dated November 26, 2002. We 
have revised paragraph (h) of the final rule to specify installing a 
``raised-type APU air inlet frame.''

Request To Refer to Latest Revision of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-
0009

    Two commenters request that the NPRM refer to the latest revision 
of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-0009. One commenter states that 
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-0009, Change 07, dated September 1, 
2002 (referenced as the appropriate source of service information for 
accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (i) of the NPRM) 
should be replaced with Change 08, dated September 1, 2003. One 
commenter also notes that the NPRM did not give credit for actions done 
in accordance with previous issues because Change 07 of the service 
bulletin contains additional actions. The commenter states that the 
only difference in Change 07 is that it mentions the new APU exhaust 
silencer P/N 4503801C. The commenter also points out that AD 2004-23-
09, amendment 39-13864 (69 FR 65535), mandates the modification of the 
APU exhaust silencer to P/N 4503801C. Thus, the commenter requests that 
operators be given credit for previous issues of the service bulletin.
    We agree to revise paragraph (i) of the final rule to reference 
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-0009, Change 09, dated April 12, 2005, 
which is the latest revision. The procedures in Change 09 of the 
service bulletin are essentially the same as those in Change 07 of the 
service bulletin. We have also added Change 03 through Change 08 of the 
service bulletin to paragraph (k) of the final rule to state that 
actions accomplished before the effective date of this AD per those 
revisions of the service bulletin are acceptable for compliance with 
the corresponding requirements of this final rule.

Request To Allow Previous Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) To 
Be Approved for Paragraphs (g) and (h)

    One commenter requests that AMOC paragraph (l)(2) of the NPRM be 
revised to allow previous AMOCs to be approved for paragraphs (g) and 
(h) (in addition to paragraph (f)). The commenter states that the 
modifications to the APU inlet and exhaust already approved as AMOCs 
for AD 2001-10-01 ensure a positive pressure differential from forward 
to aft through the compartment, preventing any exhaust flame from 
propagating forward into the APU compartment. The commenter understands 
that the AMOCs are also terminating action for paragraphs (g) and (h), 
not requiring additional action from the operators.
    We do not agree to revise paragraph (l)(3) of the final rule 
(specified as paragraph (l)(2) in the NPRM). Not all existing AMOCs for 
AD 2001-10-01 are terminating action for paragraphs (g) and (h). The 
existing AMOCs have various configurations and service bulletins that 
are acceptable for compliance with just the revisions, with the 
revisions and part of the terminating action, or with the terminating 
action. We have determined that the best way to handle such 
circumstances is for operators to request an AMOC in accordance with 
paragraph (l) of the final rule, rather than increasing the complexity 
of the AD by addressing each existing AMOC's unique situation. We have 
not revised the final rule in this regard.

Request To Revise NPRM To Reference P/Ns or Configurations and Service 
Bulletins That Could Be AMOCs

    Two commenters request that the NPRM be revised to reference P/Ns 
or configurations and service bulletins that could be AMOCs. One 
commenter references multiple AMOCs for AD 2001-10-01 that would be 
acceptable for compliance for (f), (g), and (h) of the NPRM. The 
commenter suggests eliminating the reference to the service bulletin in 
paragraph (h) and listing all acceptable P/Ns for the raised-type APU 
air inlet frame and revising paragraph (i) of the NPRM to reference 
either the exhaust silencer or the extended or new exhaust pipes. The 
commenter contends these changes would address the unsafe condition.
    The other commenter notes that the correct configuration of the 
airplane can be achieved through various revisions of several service 
bulletins and includes several AMOCs for AD 2001-10-01. This commenter 
suggests that the NPRM reference the part number 145-48999-401 or 145-
52452-401 (or later approved part numbers) and a silencer measurement 
of 1300 millimeters on C14 APU equipped aircraft. As an alternative to 
these changes, the commenters suggest that the NPRM should list all 
configurations and service bulletin versions that are an optional means 
of terminating the NPRM. The commenter states that either one of its 
suggestions allow operators to operate their aircraft without having to 
incur additional and excessive expenses.
    We disagree with the request to revise the final rule to reference 
P/Ns or configurations and service bulletins that could be AMOCs. As 
stated in the response to the previous comment, due to the number and 
complexity of AMOCs for AD 2001-10-01 and the revisions to the various 
service bulletins, we cannot list every configuration that could be 
terminating action for paragraph (g) and/or paragraph (h) of the final 
rule. We also cannot list part numbers because terminating action must 
be done in a method approved by us or in accordance with service 
information we have reviewed. However, operators may request an AMOC in 
accordance with paragraph (l) of the final rule. We have not revised 
the final rule in this regard.

Request To Determine if All U.S. Operators Are in Compliance

    One commenter suggests that U.S. operators be polled to find out if 
any operator is flying airplanes without the desired configuration. The 
commenter states that if all operators' airplanes are in the desired 
configuration, then the NPRM may be withdrawn. The commenter notes that 
this suggestion has been done on other NPRMs prior to this one.

[[Page 70709]]

    We do not agree with the commenter. We have not received 
confirmation that all U.S. operators are in compliance with the 
requirements of the final rule. Even if the current U.S.-registered 
fleet is in compliance with the requirements of the final rule, the 
issuance of the rule is still necessary to ensure that any affected 
airplane imported and placed on the U.S. register in the future will be 
required to be in compliance as well. Unless the manufacturer advises 
us that all of the affected airplanes worldwide have been modified, it 
is possible that an airplane could be imported to the U.S. in the 
future without being in compliance with the final rule.

Additional Change to Applicability

    We have revised the applicability of the NPRM to identify model 
designations as published in the most recent type certificate data 
sheet for the affected models.

Explanation of Changes to Final Rule

    We have also revised certain references to the service bulletins in 
the final rule to clarify that the actions are done in accordance with 
the accomplishment instructions of the service bulletins.
    We have also made minor editorial changes to the format of the 
tables in the final rule.

Clarification of AMOC Paragraph

    We have revised this final rule to clarify the appropriate 
procedure for notifying the principal inspector before using any 
approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the 
comments that have been received, and determined that air safety and 
the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described 
previously. We have determined that these changes will neither increase 
the economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The following table, using an estimated labor rate of $65 per work 
hour, provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators to comply with 
this 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.
    We are 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

    We have determined that 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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and 
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to 
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES 
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

2. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends Sec.  39.13 by 
removing amendment 39-12226 (66 FR 24049, May 11, 2001) and by adding 
the following new airworthiness directive (AD):

2005-24-02 Empresa Brasileira De Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER): 
Amendment 39-14382. Docket No. FAA-2005-20011; Directorate 
Identifier 2003-NM-22-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This AD becomes effective December 28, 2005.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2001-10-01.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to EMBRAER Model EMB-135BJ, -135ER, -135KE, 
-135KL, and -135LR airplanes; and Model EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -
145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP airplanes; certificated in any 
category; equipped with Hamilton Sundstrand auxiliary power unit 
(APU) Model T-62T-40C14 (APS 500R).

[[Page 70710]]

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD was prompted by the airplane manufacturer developing 
modifications that revise or eliminate the need for restrictions to 
in-flight APU starts. We are issuing this AD to prevent flame 
backflow into the APU compartment through the eductor during in-
flight APU starts, which could result in fire in the APU 
compartment.

Compliance

    (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this 
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the 
actions have already been done.

Requirements of AD 2001-10-01 and New Note

Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision

    (f) Within 25 flight hours or 10 days after May 29, 2001 (the 
effective date of AD 2001-10-01), whichever occurs first, accomplish 
the actions required by paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD.
    (1) Install a placard on or near the APU start/stop switch panel 
that reads:

``CAUTION: IN-FLIGHT APU STARTS ARE PROHIBITED''

    Note 1: Installing a placard in accordance with EMBRAER Alert 
Service Bulletin 145-49-A017, dated April 12, 2001, is acceptable 
for compliance with the action required by paragraph (f)(1) of this 
AD.

    (2) Revise the Limitations section of the AFM to include the 
information on the placard, as specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this 
AD, and to limit APU starts to ground conditions only. This may be 
accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM.

    Note 2: Because APU starts are prohibited in flight when an 
engine-driven generator is inoperative, the APU must be started on 
the ground in order to dispatch, and the APU must be kept 
operational for the entire flight.

Terminating Requirements of This AD and Optional Action

Optional New Limitations for APU Starts

    (g) Doing the actions specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) 
of this AD in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of 
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-0017, Change 01, dated June 7, 2001, 
terminates the requirements of paragraph (f) of this AD.
    (1) Measure the gap between the APU and the APU exhaust 
silencer, install a flush-type APU air inlet frame, and install or 
replace, as applicable, the placard on or near the APU start/stop 
switch panel with a placard that reads:

``CAUTION: IN-FLIGHT APU STARTS ARE LIMITED TO FLIGHT ENVELOPE UP TO 
15KFT/320KIAS (NORMAL APU STARTS) OR 15KFT/200KIAS (BATTERY SUPPORT 
ONLY)''

    (2) Revise the Limitations section of the AFM to include the 
information on the placard specified in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD 
to limit APU starts. This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of 
this AD in the AFM. Remove any existing copy of AD 2001-10-01 from 
the AFM.

Terminating Action for This AD

    (h) Within 8,000 flight hours after the effective date of this 
AD, measure the gap between the APU and the APU exhaust silencer, 
install a raised-type APU air inlet frame, remove any placard on or 
near the APU start/stop switch panel that limits APU starts, and 
reidentify the APU cowling, in accordance with the Accomplishment 
Instructions of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-0018, Change 04, 
dated November 26, 2002, except as provided by paragraph (j) of this 
AD. Doing the actions in paragraph (h) of this AD terminates the 
requirements of paragraphs (f) and (g) of this AD, and any copy of 
AD 2001-10-01 or this AD may be removed from the AFM.

Prior to or Concurrent Requirements

    (i) Prior to or concurrently with the actions specified in 
paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD, install an APU silencer in 
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of EMBRAER Service 
Bulletin 145-49-0009, Change 09, dated April 12, 2005.

Contact the FAA or Departmento de Aviacao Civil (DAC)

    (j) If, during the actions specified in paragraphs (g) and (h) 
of this AD, any measurement exceeds the limits specified in EMBRAER 
Service Bulletin 145-49-0017, Change 01, dated June 7, 2001; or 
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-49-0018, Change 04, dated November 26, 
2002; as applicable; and the service bulletin specifies to contact 
EMBRAER: Before further flight, repair per a method approved by 
either the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport 
Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the DAC (or its delegated agent).

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (l)(1) The Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport 
Airplane Directorate, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for 
this AD, if requested in accordance with the procedures found in 14 
CFR 39.19.
    (2) Before using any AMOC approved in accordance with 14 CFR 
39.19 on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify the 
appropriate principal inspector in the FAA Flight Standards 
Certificate Holding District Office.
    (3) AMOCs approved previously in accordance with AD 2001-10-01, 
amendment 39-12226, are approved as AMOCs for the corresponding 
requirements in paragraph (f) of this AD.

Related Information

    (m) Brazilian airworthiness directive 2001-04-02R2, dated June 
29, 2001, also addresses the subject of this AD.

Material Incorporated by Reference

    (n) You must use the service information specified in Table 2 of 
this AD to perform the actions that are required by this AD, unless
