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.

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 VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:49 Feb 20, 2009 Jkt 217001 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 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 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.

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.

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 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. 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. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

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:

    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 
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.

    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).
