Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for 
Airbus Helicopters Model EC 155B and EC155B1 helicopters. This AD was 
prompted by the failure of a main gearbox (MGB) second stage planet 
gear. This AD requires replacing the MGB, or as an alternative, 
replacing the epicyclic reduction gear module for certain serial 
numbered planet gear assemblies installed on the MGB. This AD also 
requires inspecting the MGB magnetic plugs and MGB filter for 
particles, and for certain serial-numbered planet gear assemblies, 
inspecting the oil sump for particles. Depending on the outcome of 
these inspections, this AD requires further inspections and replacing 
certain parts. This AD also prohibits installing certain parts. The FAA 
is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 3, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain documents listed in this AD as of January 3, 2022.

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 Airbus Helicopters 
Model EC 155B and EC155B1 helicopters. The NPRM published in the 
Federal Register on July 22, 2021 (86 FR 38608). In the NPRM, the FAA 
proposed to require for helicopters with at least one Type Y planet 
gear assembly with a certain serial number (S/N) installed, or at least 
one Type Z planet gear assembly with a certain S/N installed, within 10 
hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date of the AD and 
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 10 hours TIS, inspecting the MGB 
magnetic plugs for particles. If there are particles, the NPRM proposed 
to require further inspections and analyses and replacing the MGB, 
depending on the type and the size of the particles.
    The NPRM also proposed to require for helicopters with a Type Y 
planet gear assembly with a certain S/N installed, within 25 hours TIS 
after the effective date of the AD, inspecting the MGB filter for 
particles. If there are particles, the NPRM proposed to require further 
inspections and analyses and replacing the MGB, depending on the type 
and the size of the particles. The NPRM proposed to require for 
helicopters with at least one Type Y planet gear assembly with a 
certain S/N installed, within 50 hours TIS after the effective date of 
the AD, replacing the MGB. As an alternative to replacing the MGB, the 
NPRM would allow replacing the epicyclic reduction gear in the affected 
MGB.
    Additionally, the NPRM proposed to require, for helicopters without 
any Type Y planet gear assembly but at least one Type Z planet gear 
assembly with a certain S/N installed, replacing the MGB within 50 
hours TIS after the effective date of the AD or before any planet gear 
assembly accumulates 1,800 total hours TIS, whichever occurs later. As 
an alternative to replacing the MGB, the NPRM would allow replacing the 
epicyclic reduction gear in the affected MGB.
    The NPRM also proposed to require, for helicopters with at least 
one Type Z planet gear with a certain S/N installed, within certain 
compliance times specified in the figures in this AD, inspecting the 
MGB filter and inspecting the oil sump for particles. If there are 
particles, the NPRM proposed to require further inspections and 
analyses, and replacing the MGB, depending on the type and the size of 
the particles.
    The NPRM also proposed to prohibit installing an MGB with a certain 
serial numbered Type Y planet gear assembly and proposed to prohibit 
installing a Type Y planet gear assembly with a certain S/N on any 
helicopter.
    Additionally, the NPRM proposed to prohibit installing certain 
serial numbered Type Z planet gear assemblies that have accumulated 
1,800 or more total hours TIS and prohibit installing an MGB with 
certain serial numbered Type Z planet gear assemblies that have 
accumulated 1,800 or more total hours TIS.
    Finally, the NPRM proposed to prohibit installing an MGB if the 
type of the planet gear assembly cannot be determined and also prohibit 
installing any planet gear assembly if the type cannot be determined.
    The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD 2018-0263, dated December 7, 2018 
(EASA AD 2018-0263), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for 
the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition 
for Airbus Helicopters Model EC 155 B and EC 155 B1 helicopters. EASA 
advises that after an accident on a Model EC225 helicopter, an 
investigation revealed the failure of an MGB second stage planet gear. 
EASA states that one of the two types of planet gear used in the MGB 
epicyclic module is subject to higher outer race contact pressures and 
therefore is more susceptible to spalling and cracking. This condition, 
if not addressed, could result in failure of a MGB planet gear 
assembly, failure of the MGB, and subsequent loss of helicopter 
control.
    Accordingly, EASA AD 2018-0263 requires repetitive inspections of 
the MGB magnetic plugs, the MGB filer, and the oil sump for particles, 
and depending on the results of those inspections, removing or 
replacing certain parts. EASA AD 2018-0263 also requires reducing the 
life limit of Type Z planet gear assemblies. EASA AD 2018-0263 also 
requires, if certain gear assemblies are installed, either replacing 
the MGB or replacing the epicyclic reduction gear. Finally, EASA AD 
2018-0263 prohibits installing a Type Y planet gear assembly or an MGB 
with a Type Y planet gear assembly on any helicopter.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from one commenter. The following 
presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response.

Request to Revise the Required Actions Section of the NPRM

    Airbus Helicopters Inc., requested that the FAA revise the Required 
Actions section of this AD dealing with the 25 hours TIS inspection for 
the oil sump (also referred to as inspecting the bottom housing of the 
MGB) by removing that repetitive inspection and explained that some of 
the proposed actions are unclear and not in line with the original 
equipment manufacturer's (OEM) service information. The commenter also 
provided an example of a similar AD, AD 2021-12-06, Amendment 39-21593 
(86 FR 31612, June 15, 2021) (AD 2021-12-06), stating that AD 2021-12-
06 is clear in explaining both the required repetitive actions and the 
limits provided by the OEM for the MGB oil filter inspection after 
finding particle(s) on the chip detector. The commenter stated that, as 
written, the proposed actions would create extra work, which could lead 
to an unwanted condition exposing the dynamic component to possible 
contamination and possibly foreign object debris.
    The FAA agrees that the repetitive 25 hours TIS oil sump inspection 
for Type Y planet gears is not necessary and has revised paragraph 
(g)(1) of the Required Actions section in this final rule by deleting 
this inspection.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments 
received, and

[[Page 67305]]

determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD as proposed, except for the change described previously, 
updating the service information for the optional replacement of the 
epicyclic reduction gear module in paragraphs (g)(3) and (4) of this 
AD, and for clarity, deleting the corrective actions when there are no 
16NCD13 particles. The FAA has determined that these changes will not 
increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of 
this final rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin ASB No. 
EC155-05A034, Revision 5, dated December 4, 2018 (ASB EC155-05A34 Rev 
5) for Model EC 155 helicopters, which specifies periodic inspections 
of the MGB magnetic plugs, the MGB filter, and the oil sump for 
particles. ASB EC155-05A34 Rev 5 also specifies identifying the type of 
gear assembly installed in the MGB and replacing any Type Y planet gear 
assembly within 50 hours TIS. For Type Z gear assemblies that have 
logged less than 1,800 hours TIS since new, this service information 
specifies replacing the gear assembly before exceeding 1,800 total 
hours TIS, and for Type Z gear assemblies that have logged 1,800 or 
more total hours TIS, replacing the gear assembly within 600 hours TIS.
    The FAA also reviewed Airbus Helicopters Service Bulletin SB No. 
EC155-63-016, Revision 5, dated March 6, 2019, for Model EC 155 
helicopters. This service information specifies procedures for 
replacing the MGB epicyclic reduction gear without removing the MGB.
    This service information 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.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD to be an interim action. If final action 
is later identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking then.

Differences Between This AD and EASA AD 2018-0263

    EASA AD 2018-0263 specifies compliance times based on flight hours 
and calendar dates. This AD sets compliance times based on hours TIS or 
before further flight. EASA AD 2018-0263 allows a pilot to inspect the 
MGB magnetic plugs for particles, while this AD does not. For 
helicopters with at least one affected Type Z planet gear assembly that 
has accumulated 1,800 or more total hours TIS installed, EASA AD 2018-
0263 requires replacing the MGB or epicyclic reduction gear within 600 
flight hours after March 16, 2018, whereas this AD requires either of 
those replacements within 50 hours TIS after the effective date of this 
AD instead. If 16NCD13 particles are present, EASA AD 2018-0263 
requires taking a 1 liter sample of oil and returning it to Airbus 
Helicopters and removing the MGB for depot-level inspection, whereas 
this AD requires replacing the MGB instead.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 14 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.
    Inspecting the magnetic plugs for particle deposits takes about 1 
work-hour for an estimated cost of $85 per helicopter per inspection 
cycle.
    Inspecting the MGB filter or oil sump for particle deposits takes 
about 1 work-hour for an estimated cost of $85 per helicopter per 
inspection cycle.
    Replacing an MGB takes about 42 work-hours, and parts cost about 
$295,000 (overhauled) for an estimated total cost of $298,570 per 
helicopter.
    Replacing the epicyclic reduction gear takes about 56 work-hours 
and parts cost about $11,404 for an estimated total cost of $16,164 per 
helicopter.

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 helicopters 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.
