Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for 
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-2A12 airplanes. This AD was 
prompted by a report of a lateral offset observed on the head-up 
display (HUD) of several airplanes between the synthetic vision system 
(SVS) and actual runway due to mechanical misalignment of the HUD 
during manufacturing and assembly. This AD requires revising the 
existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to prohibit steep approach 
landing (SAL) and enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) operations. This 
AD also requires calibrating the HUD. The FAA is issuing this AD to 
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective March 17, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of March 17, 
2023.

ADDRESSES: 
    AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov under 
Docket No. FAA-2022-0684; or in person at Docket Operations between 9 
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, 
Inc., Model BD-700-2A12 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal 
Register on June 21, 2022 (87 FR 36783). The NPRM was prompted by AD 
CF-2021-36, dated November 1, 2021, issued by Transport Canada, which 
is the aviation authority for Canada (referred to after this as the 
MCAI). The MCAI states that during production activities, a lateral 
offset was observed on the HUD of several airplanes between the SVS and 
actual runway. An investigation determined the cause of the offset to 
be mechanical misalignment of the HUD during manufacturing and 
assembly. This offset, if not corrected, will create an incorrect 
airplane reference display on the HUD, which could lead to excessive 
deviation during landing. This could particularly affect SAL or EFVS 
operations.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the existing AFM 
to prohibit SAL and EFVS operations, and calibrating the HUD. The FAA 
is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under 
Docket No. FAA-2022-0684.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received a comment from Executive Jet Management, Inc. 
(EJM). The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and the 
FAA's response.

Request To Provide Means To Allow Later-Approved Service Information

    EJM noted that ADs for Bombardier airplanes often involve approval 
for alternative methods of compliance (AMOCs) because the required AFMs 
or other service information becomes outdated before the AD becomes 
effective. Because of the increasing number of Bombardier ADs that 
require these AMOCs, EJM expressed concern over the burden associated 
with the AMOC process. EJM recognized that the FAA cannot allow the 
future use of service information that is not available when the AD is 
published. EJM noted that an AD issued by the European Union Aviation 
Safety Agency (EASA) typically states that the use of later-approved 
revisions of the required service information is acceptable for 
compliance, and that the corresponding FAA AD refers to that EASA AD 
for the requirements. EJM requested a similar process for ADs for 
Bombardier airplanes, adding that this process would streamline their 
workload and enhance safety.
    The FAA partially agrees with the request. The FAA agrees with 
referencing the latest AFM revisions in this AD. Certain sections of 
Bombardier Global 7500 AFM, Publication No. CSP 700-7000-1 cited in the 
NPRM have been revised, as described under ``Related Service 
Information under 1 CFR part 51'' in this final rule. The AFM sections 
are modified to revise calculations for certain performance data, and 
therefore do not add any additional work to the proposed requirements 
of the NPRM. The FAA revised paragraphs (g)(1) through (3) of this AD 
to require the revised service information. This AD also provides 
credit for use of the documents that were identified in the NPRM, as 
specified in revised paragraph (i) of this AD.
    The FAA disagrees with adding a statement that allows using later-
approved revisions of the AFM sections specified in the Related Service 
Information under 1 CFR part 51 section of this AD, as the FAA would 
need to determine their effect to the AD. Further, the FAA is required 
by Office of the Federal Register (OFR) regulations for approval of 
materials incorporated by reference, as specified in 1 CFR 51.1(f), to 
either publish the service document contents as part of the actual AD 
language; or submit the service document to the OFR for approval as 
referenced material, in which case the FAA may only refer to such 
material in the text of an AD. However, it is not necessary to include 
a statement in this final rule that allows the use of later-approved 
revisions of the AFM. Paragraph (g) of this AD requires revising the 
existing AFM to ``include the information in'' the specified sections 
of the AFM. As long as the information included in the AFM is identical 
to ``the information in'' those AFM sections, operators may use means 
other than the specified AFM revisions to comply with the requirement.
    Regarding the IBR the MCAI process, the FAA must have permission 
from the design approval holder to post in the AD docket the service 
information required for compliance with the MCAI. At this time, the 
FAA has not received Bombardier's permission for the ``IBR the MCAI'' 
process. Without this permission, the FAA cannot IBR the MCAI.

Additional Changes Made to This AD

    The FAA has revised paragraph (h) of this AD to allow the HUD 
calibration to be done using Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-34-7521, 
Revision 03, dated July 27, 2021, or Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-
34-7521, Revision 04, dated December 6, 2021; and Bombardier Service 
Bulletin 700-34-7523, Revision 01, dated December 8, 2021; as 
applicable. This change more closely reflects the revisions specified 
in paragraph B. of the MCAI. The FAA has also removed paragraph 
(i)(1)(iv) of this AD (paragraph (i)(4) of the proposed AD), and 
reidentified the subsequent paragraph accordingly, because Bombardier 
Service Bulletin 700-34-7521, Revision 03, dated July 27, 2021, is now 
specified in paragraph (h) of this AD. Further, paragraphs (i)(1)(i) 
through (iv) have been clarified to specify which documents are and are 
not incorporated by reference in this AD.

Conclusion

    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 this State of Design Authority, it 
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI 
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the 
comment 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 this product. Except for minor editorial changes, 
and any other changes described previously, this AD is adopted as 
proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic 
burden on any operator.

    Bombardier has issued the following documents, which specify 
procedures for calibrating the HUD (and second HUD if installed). The 
procedures include an inspection of the HUD mounting brackets and sill 
beams for damage and contamination (e.g., drill shavings and adhesive) 
of the mating surfaces and injection holes, an inspection for voids in 
the structural adhesive, and applicable corrective actions. Corrective 
actions include replacing damaged brackets and backfilling voids with 
structural adhesive. These documents are distinct since they apply to 
different airplane configurations.

Other Related Service Information

    Earlier revisions of Bombardier Service Bulletins 700-34-7521 and 
700-34-7523 included a typographical error on the metric values on the 
``External Target Board'' table. This error was corrected in Bombardier 
Service Bulletin 700-34-7521, Revision 03, dated July 27, 2021; 
Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-34-7521, Revision 04, dated December 6, 
2021; and Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-34-7523, Revision 01, dated 
December 8, 2021. This error is further described in the Retroactive 
Action section in these service bulletins. The FAA has determined that 
the earlier revisions are acceptable for compliance with the 
requirements of this AD under certain conditions in their entirety if 
imperial values were used. However, if the metric values specified in 
the earlier revisions were used, the HUD calibration is not considered 
completed for the purposes of Supplement 7--Enhanced Flight Vision 
System (EFVS) Operations, and Supplement 20--Steep Approaches with 
Published Glidepath Angles from 4.5 to 5.5 Degrees, of Chapter 7--
Supplements, of the Bombardier Global 7500 AFM, Publication No. CSP 
700-7000-1, until retroactive actions are also done as specified in 
paragraph (i) of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 40 airplanes of U.S. 
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    The FAA estimates that replacement brackets would cost up to $1,200 
(per HUD) if required for any on-condition corrective actions in this 
AD. The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the work-
hour estimates for this replacement. The FAA has no way of determining 
the number of airplanes that might need this on-condition action.
    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate. 
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of 
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact 
on affected operators.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for 
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of 
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB 
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. The time 
for public reporting for this collection of information, including 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information, is provided in the Costs of Compliance 
section already described. All responses to this collection of

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.
