Airworthiness Directives; DASSAULT
AVIATION Model MYSTERE–FALCON
50 Airplanes
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are superseding an
existing airworthiness directive (AD)
that applies to the products listed above.
This 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:
SUMMARY:
`
On two occurrences on Mystere-Falcon 50
aeroplanes in service, it was detected that
two pipes of the emergency brake system #2
located near the nose landing gear bearing
were swapped.
The swapping of these two pipes implies
that when the Left Hand (LH) brake pedal is
depressed, the Right Hand (RH) brake unit is
activated, and conversely, when the RH brake
pedal is depressed, the LH brake unit is
actuated. This constitutes an unsafe
condition, which may go unnoticed as the
condition is latent until the emergency brake
system #2 is used. This condition, if not
corrected, could ultimately lead to a runway
excursion of the aeroplane.
*
*
*
*
*
We are issuing this AD to require
actions to correct the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective June
17, 2011.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in this AD
as of December 9, 2010 (75 FR 71530,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to the specified products. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on February 16, 2011 (76 FR
8919), and proposed to supersede AD
2010–24–08, Amendment 39–16527 (75
FR 71530, November 24, 2010). That
NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products.
The MCAI states:
In AD 2010–24–08, we pointed out
that the corresponding EASA AD, AD
2010–0208–E, dated October 12, 2010,
requires painting the pipes end of the
emergency brake system number 2 and
related unions within 7 months after the
effective date of that AD. We explained
that AD 2010–24–08 did not require that
action, and that we might consider
additional rulemaking to require this
action in the future. We have
determined that further rulemaking is
indeed necessary to require that action,
and this AD follows from that
determination.
You may obtain further information
by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the
public.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 93 / Friday, May 13, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
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 required different
actions in this AD from those in the
MCAI in order to follow our FAA
policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we
estimate that this AD will affect about
248 products of U.S. registry.
The actions that are required by AD
2010–24–08 and retained in this AD
take about 2 work-hours per product, at
an average labor rate of $85 per work
hour. Based on these figures, the
estimated cost of the currently required
actions is $170 per product.
We estimate that it will take about 1
work-hour per product to comply with
the new basic requirements of this AD.
The average labor rate is $85 per workhour. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of the AD on U.S.
operators to be $21,080, or $85 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 AD will not
have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132. This AD will
not have a substantial direct effect on
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:13 May 12, 2011
Jkt 223001
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 AD:
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
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
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 the NPRM, the regulatory
evaluation, any comments received, and
other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone
(800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES
section. Comments will be available in
the AD docket shortly after receipt.

Applicability
(c) This AD applies to DASSAULT
AVIATION Model MYSTERE–FALCON 50
airplanes, certificated in any category, all
serial numbers.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of
America Code 32: Landing Gear.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) states:
`
On two occurrences on Mystere-Falcon 50
aeroplanes in service, it was detected that
two pipes of the emergency brake system #2
located near the nose landing gear bearing
were swapped.
The swapping of these two pipes implies
that when the Left Hand (LH) brake pedal is
depressed, the Right Hand (RH) brake unit is
activated, and conversely, when the RH brake
pedal is depressed, the LH brake unit is
actuated. This constitutes an unsafe
condition, which may go unnoticed as the
condition is latent until the emergency brake
system #2 is used. This condition, if not
corrected, could ultimately lead to a runway
excursion of the aeroplane.

regulations. The amendments make
minor changes to the existing
regulations to reflect new technologies,
designs, and features in bicycles by
clarifying that certain provisions or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
CPSC regulations, at 16 CFR part
1512, establish requirements for
bicycles pursuant to the Federal
Hazardous Substances Act. The
regulations were first promulgated in
1978 (43 FR 60034 (Dec. 22, 1978)), with
minor amendments in 1980 (45 FR
82627 (Dec. 16, 1980)), 1981 (46 FR
3204 (Jan. 14, 1981)), 1995 (60 FR 62990
(Dec. 8, 1995)), and 2003 (68 FR 7073
(Feb. 12, 2003)); 68 FR 52691 (Sept. 5,
2003)).
In recent years, there have been
technological changes in bicycle design
and in the materials used to
manufacture bicycles that have caused
some bicycle manufacturers to question
the applicability of a particular CPSC
regulation or to seek changes to the
regulations. Additionally, the enactment
of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA),
Public Law 110–314, 122 Stat. 3016, has
resulted in new testing and certification
requirements for children’s products.
The Commission recognizes that there
have been many changes in bicycle

after the effective date of that AD. We explained that AD 2010-24-08
did not require that action, and that we might consider additional
rulemaking to require this action in the future. We have determined
that further rulemaking is indeed necessary to require that action, and
this AD follows from that determination.
You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.
[[Page 27881]]
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 required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD will
affect about 248 products of U.S. registry.
The actions that are required by AD 2010-24-08 and retained in this
AD take about 2 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85
per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the
currently required actions is $170 per product.
We estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of the AD on U.S. operators to be $21,080, or $85 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 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 this AD:
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 under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
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 the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
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]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by removing Amendment 39-16527 (75 FR
71530, November 24, 2010) and adding the following new AD:
2011-10-14 Dassault Aviation: Amendment 39-16695. Docket No. FAA-
2011-0042; Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-267-AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective June 17,
2011.
Affected ADs
(b) This AD supersedes AD 2010-24-08, Amendment 39-16527.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to DASSAULT AVIATION Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50
airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32: Landing
Gear.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
On two occurrences on Myst[egrave]re-Falcon 50 aeroplanes in
service, it was detected that two pipes of the emergency brake
system 2 located near the nose landing gear bearing were
swapped.
The swapping of these two pipes implies that when the Left Hand
(LH) brake pedal is depressed, the Right Hand (RH) brake unit is
activated, and conversely, when the RH brake pedal is depressed, the
LH brake unit is actuated. This constitutes an unsafe condition,
which may go unnoticed as the condition is latent until the
emergency brake system 2 is used. This condition, if not
corrected, could ultimately lead to a runway excursion of the
aeroplane.
* * * * *
Compliance
(f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.
Restatement of Requirements of AD 2010-24-08
Actions
(g) Within 7 days after December 9, 2010 (the effective date of
AD 2010-24-08), do a general visual inspection for correct
installation (as defined in Dassault Service Bulletin F50-515, dated
October 12, 2010) of the emergency brake system number 2, in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Dassault Service
Bulletin F50-515, dated October 12, 2010, except that work required
by this AD can only be done by persons prescribed in 14 CFR 43.3 and
43.7.
(h) If the emergency brake system number 2 is found installed
incorrectly during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this
AD: Before further flight, install the emergency brake system number
2 correctly, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Dassault Service Bulletin F50-515, dated October 12, 2010.
New Requirements of This AD
(i) Within 7 months after the effective date of this AD, paint
the pipe ends of the emergency brake system 2 and related
unions, in accordance with paragraph 2.C. of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Dassault Service Bulletin F50-515, dated October 12,
2010.
FAA AD Differences
Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows:
(1) European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2010-0208-E, dated
October 12,
[[Page 27882]]
2010, has a compliance time of ``before the next flight after the
effective date of this AD.'' This AD requires that the actions be
done within 7 days after the effective date of AD 2010-24-08.
(2) EASA AD 2010-0208-E, dated October 12, 2010, allows the
flightcrew to inspect the emergency brake system number 2 specified
in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin F50-515, dated October
12, 2010. However, this AD requires the inspection to be performed
by certificated maintenance personnel.
Other FAA AD Provisions
(j) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR
39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
directly to the International Branch, send it to ATTN: Tom
Rodriguez, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone (425) 227-1137; fax (425) 227-1149.
Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal
inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the
local flight standards district office/certificate holding district
office. The AMOC approval letter must specifically reference this
AD.
(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
