Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 
Airbus Model A318, A319, and A321 series airplanes. This proposed AD 
was prompted by reports of in-flight loss of fixed and hinged main 
landing gear (MLG) fairings, and reports of post-modification MLG fixed 
fairing assemblies that have wear and corrosion. This proposed AD would 
require, for certain airplanes, repetitive replacements of the fixed 
fairing upper and lower attachment studs of both the right-hand (RH) 
and left-hand (LH) MLG; and repetitive inspections for corrosion, wear, 
fatigue, cracking, and loose studs of each forward stud assembly of the 
fixed fairing door upper and lower forward attachment of both RH and LH 
MLG; and replacement if necessary. This proposed AD also provides an 
optional terminating modification for the repetitive replacements of 
the fixed fairing upper and lower attachment studs. We are proposing 
this AD to prevent in-flight detachment of an MLG fixed fairing and 
consequent damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 24, 2015.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0001R1, dated January 15, 2015 (referred 
to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Model A318, A319, 
A320, and Model A321 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Several occurrences of in-flight loss of main landing gear (MLG) 
fixed and hinged fairings were reported. The majority of reported 
events occurred following scheduled maintenance activities. One 
result of the investigation was that a discrepancy between the 
drawing and the maintenance manuals was discovered. The maintenance 
documents were corrected to prevent mis-rigging of the MLG fixed and 
hinged fairings, which could induce fatigue cracking.
    Airbus issued Service Bulletin (SB) A320-52-1083, providing 
instructions for a one-time inspection of the MLG fixed fairing 
composite insert and the surrounding area, replacement of the 
adjustment studs at the lower forward position and adjustment to the 
new clearance tolerances. That SB was replaced by Airbus SB A320-52-
1100 (mod 27716) introducing a re-designed location stud, rod end 
and location plate at the forward upper and lower leg fixed-fairing 
positions. Subsequently, reports were received of post-mod 27716/
post-SB A320-52-1100 MLG fixed fairing assemblies with corrosion, 
which could also induce cracking.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to 
further cases of in-flight detachment of a MLG fixed fairing, 
possibly resulting in injury to persons on the ground and/or damage 
to the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2014-
0096 [http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2014_0096_superseded.pdf/AD_2014-0096_1] to require [for 
certain airplanes] repetitive detailed inspections (DET) of the MLG 
fixed fairings,

[[Page 38993]]

and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective 
actions. That [EASA] AD also prohibited installation of certain MLG 
fixed fairing rod end assemblies and studs as replacement parts on 
aeroplanes incorporating Airbus mod 27716 in production, or modified 
in accordance with Airbus SB A320-52-1100 (any revision) in service.
    Since EASA AD 2014-0096 was issued, Airbus developed an 
alternative inspection programme to meet the AD requirements. In 
addition, a terminating action (mod 155648) was developed, which is 
to be made available for in service aeroplanes through Airbus SB 
A320-52-1165.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the 
requirements of EASA AD 2014-0096, which is superseded, and adds an 
optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. For 
post-mod aeroplanes, i.e. incorporating Airbus mod 155648 in 
production, or modified by Airbus SB A320-52-1165 in service, the 
only remaining requirement is to ensure that pre-mod components are 
no longer installed.
    Prompted by these developments, EASA issued AD 2015-0001, 
retaining the requirements of EASA AD 2014-0096, which was 
superseded, and adding an optional terminating action for the 
repetitive inspections. For post-mod aeroplanes, i.e. incorporating 
Airbus mod 155648 in production, or modified by Airbus SB A320-52-
1165 in service, the only remaining requirement is to ensure that 
pre-mod components are no longer installed.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, it was discovered that a 
certain plate support, Part Number (P/N) D5285600620000 as listed in 
Table 3 of the [EASA] AD, remains part of the post SB A320-52-1165 
configuration and is therefore not affected by any prohibition of 
installation--paragraph (11) of the [EASA] AD. In addition, an error 
was detected in Table 1 of the [EASA] AD (missing P/N plate support) 
and paragraph (9) was found to be incorrectly worded.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD is revised to 
introduce the necessary corrections.

    Required actions also include, for airplanes in Airbus pre-
modification 27716 and pre-Airbus Service Bulletin A320-52-1100 
configuration on which certain components have been installed, 
repetitive replacements of the fixed fairing upper and lower attachment 
studs of both the RH and LH MLG. An optional terminating modification 
also is provided for the repetitive replacements of the fixed fairing 
upper and lower attachment studs. The optional terminating modification 
includes a resonance frequency inspection for debonding of the 
composite insert and delamination of the honeycomb area around the 
insert, and applicable corrective actions if necessary; and 
installation of new studs, rod ends, and location plates at the forward 
upper and lower leg fixed-fairing positions. An additional optional 
terminating modification, for airplanes in pre-modification 27716 and 
pre-Airbus Service Bulletin A320-52-1100 configuration, includes 
installation of a locking device, new studs, rod ends, and location 
plates at the forward upper and lower leg fixed-fairing positions.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
2458.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

     Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-52-1100, Revision 
01, dated March 12, 1999. This service information describes procedures 
for modification of the airplane to post-modification 27716 
configuration (by replacing the location stud, rod end, and location 
plate at the forward upper and lower leg fixed-fairing positions of the 
MLG door assemblies). The modification includes a resonance frequency 
inspection for debonding of the composite insert and delamination of 
the honeycomb area around the insert, and applicable corrective 
actions. Corrective actions include repairing the insert. The actions 
in this service information are an optional terminating modification.
     Airbus has also issued Service Bulletin A320-52-1163, 
dated February 4, 2014. This service information describes procedures 
for inspection of the fixed fairing forward attachments of the MLG door 
assemblies, and replacement of the fixed fairing upper and lower 
attachment studs of the RH and LH MLG door assemblies.
     Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-52-1165, dated 
November 3, 2014. This service information describes procedures for 
replacing the fairing attachment stud assemblies of the MLG door 
assembly with new assemblies. The actions in this service information 
are an optional terminating modification.
    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 of this 
AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have 
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service 
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these 
same type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 851 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 18 work-hours per product 
to comply with the basic inspection requirements of this proposed AD. 
The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost 
about $4,110 per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost 
of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $4,799,640, or $5,640 per 
product.
    We estimate that the optional terminating modification would take 
about 18 work-hours and require parts costing $4,110, for a cost of 
$5,640 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would 
take about 18 work-hours and require parts costing $4,110, for a cost 
of $5,640 per product. We have no way of determining the number of 
aircraft that might need these actions.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed 
AD might be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on 
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected 
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our 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.
    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 determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism 
implications

[[Page 38994]]

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. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies 
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.
