rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with PROPOSALS
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed
AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct
an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:49 Feb 20, 2009
Jkt 217001
There have been several Stick Pusher
Capstan Shaft failures causing the dormant
loss or severe degradation of the stick pusher
function. * * *
Dormant loss or severe degradation of
the stick pusher function could result in
reduced controllability of the airplane.
The proposed AD would require actions
that are intended to address the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI.
DATES: We must receive comments on
this proposed AD by March 25, 2009.

Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF–2008–12,
dated February 8, 2008 (referred to after
this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products.
The MCAI states:
There have been several Stick Pusher
Capstan Shaft failures causing the dormant
loss or severe degradation of the stick pusher
function. This directive is issued to revise the
first flight of the day check [in the Airplane
Flight Manual] of the stall protection system
to detect a degradation of the stick pusher
function. It also introduces a new periodic
maintenance task [in the Airworthiness
Limitations Section of the Instructions for
Continuing Airworthiness] to check the
structural integrity of the stick pusher
capstan shaft.
Dormant loss or severe degradation of
the stick pusher function could result in
reduced controllability of the airplane.
You may obtain further information by
examining the MCAI in the AD docket.
Relevant Service Information
Bombardier has issued the temporary
revisions listed in the tables titled
‘‘Temporary Revisions to the Airplane
Flight Manual’’ and ‘‘Temporary
Revisions to the Airworthiness
Limitations Section.’’ The actions
described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

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 the same
type design.
Differences Between This AD and the
MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and
related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But
we might have found it necessary to use
different words from those in the MCAI
to ensure the AD is clear for U.S.
operators and is enforceable. In making
these changes, we do not intend to differ
substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related
service information.
We might also have proposed
different actions in this AD from those

Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we
estimate that this proposed AD would
affect 707 products of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it would take 1 workhour per product to comply with the
basic requirements of this proposed AD.
The average labor rate is $80 per workhour. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $56,560, or $80 per
product.
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
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA
policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the
proposed 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

We 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. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and

Examining the AD Docket
Incidents have been reported on BrittenNorman BN–2 aircraft, where cracks were
found in the inner shell of the pitot/static
pressure heads. The investigation concluded
that these pitot tubes, supplied by Thales
Optronics, could be operated outside their
voltage specification. On December 15th,
2005, CAA [Civil Aviation Authority] United
Kingdom issued AD G–2005–0034 (EASA
approval number 2005–6447), later
superseded by EASA AD 2006–0143, to
require inspections and leak tests on BrittenNorman aircraft. Subsequently, it has been
discovered that the same tubes are supplied
to EADS–CASA for installation on C–212
aircraft, one for the pilot side and one for the
co-pilot side. So far, EADS–CASA has not
received any report of cracked pitot tubes
from C–212 operators.
This condition, if not corrected, could
result in incorrect readings on the pressure
instrumentation, e.g., altimeters, vertical
speed indicators (rate of climb) and airspeed
indicators, potentially leading to navigational
errors.
You may examine the AD docket on
the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the
Docket Operations office between 9 a.m.
and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The AD docket
contains this proposed AD, the
regulatory evaluation, any comments
received, and other information. The
street address for the Docket Operations

Discussion
The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2008–0155,
dated August 11, 2008 (referred to after
this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products.
The MCAI states:
Incidents have been reported on BrittenNorman BN–2 aircraft, where cracks were
found in the inner shell of the pitot/static
pressure heads. The investigation concluded
that these pitot tubes, supplied by Thales
Optronics, could be operated outside their
voltage specification. On December 15th,
2005, CAA [Civil Aviation Authority] United
Kingdom issued AD G–2005–0034 (EASA

This condition, if not corrected, could
result in incorrect readings on the pressure
instrumentation, e.g., altimeters, vertical
speed indicators (rate of climb) and airspeed
indicators, potentially leading to navigational
errors.
For the reasons described above, this EASA
AD requires the inspection of the affected
pitot tubes, and, if cracks are found,
replacement of those tubes with the new
P/N [part number] 212–A0150–0001 and
212–A0150–0002 pitot tubes.
The unsafe condition could reduce the
ability of the flightcrew to maintain the
safe flight and landing of the airplane.

Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2008-12, dated February 8, 2008 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:
There have been several Stick Pusher Capstan Shaft failures
causing the dormant loss or severe degradation of the stick pusher
function. This directive is issued to revise the first flight of the
day check [in the Airplane Flight Manual] of the stall protection
system to detect a degradation of the stick pusher function. It also
introduces a new periodic maintenance task [in the Airworthiness
Limitations Section of the Instructions for Continuing
Airworthiness] to check the structural integrity of the stick pusher
capstan shaft.
Dormant loss or severe degradation of the stick pusher function could
result in reduced controllability of the airplane. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.
Relevant Service Information
Bombardier has issued the temporary revisions listed in the tables
titled ``Temporary Revisions to the Airplane Flight Manual'' and
``Temporary Revisions to the Airworthiness Limitations Section.'' The
actions described in this service information are intended to correct
the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

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 the same
type design.
Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect 707 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it
would take 1 work-hour per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $56,560, or $80 per product.
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 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); and
3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities
[[Page 8041]]
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new AD:
Bombardier, Inc. (Formerly Canadair): Docket No. FAA-2009-0044;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-132-AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) We must receive comments by March 25, 2009.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to the airplanes listed in Table 1 of this
AD, certificated in any category.

CL-600-2B16 (CL-604) airplanes......... 5301 through 5665 inclusive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according
to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. The request should include a
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure
the continued operational safety of the airplane.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27: Flight
Controls.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
There have been several Stick Pusher Capstan Shaft failures
causing the dormant loss or severe degradation of the stick pusher
function. This directive is issued to revise the first flight of the
day check [in the Airplane Flight Manual] of the stall protection
system to detect a degradation of the stick pusher function. It also
introduces a new periodic maintenance task [in the Airworthiness
Limitations Section of the Instructions for Continuing
Airworthiness] to check the structural integrity of the stick pusher
capstan shaft.
Dormant loss or severe degradation of the stick pusher function
could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
Actions and Compliance
(f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
(1) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD: Revise
the Normal Procedures section of the applicable airplane flight
manual (AFM) by inserting a copy of the applicable TR listed in
Table 2 of this AD. Thereafter, operate the airplanes per the
procedures specified in the applicable TR, except as provided by
paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. If the operator has an AFM that is not
listed in Table 2 of this AD, within 30 days after the effective
date of this AD, revise the AFM using a method approved by the FAA
or Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) (or its delegated agent).

the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness by incorporating the applicable task in the
TR listed in Table 3 of this AD. For all tasks identified in the
TRs, the initial compliance time starts from the later of the times
specified in paragraph (f)(3)(i) and (f)(3)(ii) of this AD.
Thereafter, except as provided by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, no
alternative maintenance task intervals may be used.
(i) Within the compliance time specified in the ``Check
Interval'' or ``Task Interval,'' as applicable, after the effective
date of this AD.
(ii) Within the compliance time specified in the ``Check
Interval'' or ``Task Interval,'' as applicable, after the date of
issuance of the original Canadian airworthiness certificate or the
