ACTION: Final rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above that would
supersede an existing AD. 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:
Recently, a Dassault Aviation Falcon 7X
aeroplane experienced an uncontrolled pitch
trim runaway during descent. The crew
succeeded in recovering a stable situation
and performed an uneventful landing.
This condition, if occurring again, could
lead to a loss of control of the aeroplane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On June 16, 2011, we issued AD
2011–12–51, Amendment 39–16735 (76
FR 37251, June 27, 2011). To address an
unsafe condition, that AD prohibited
operation of the affected airplanes. That
AD corresponds to Emergency
Airworthiness Directive 2011–0102–E,
dated May 26, 2011, issued by the
European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Community, to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products.
Since we issued AD 2011–12–51, we
have been advised of the development
of new modifications that will address
the unsafe condition. We have
determined that these modifications are
necessary to allow these airplanes to
resume operation. The EASA issued
Emergency AD 2011–0114–E, dated
June 16, 2011, to supersede AD 2011–
0102–E. The EASA subsequently
revised that AD with EASA AD 2011–
0114R1, dated June 23, 2011. The EASA
subsequently revised that AD with
EASA AD 2011–0114R2, dated July 7,
2011 (referred to after this as ‘‘the
MCAI’’), which states:
Recently, a Dassault Aviation Falcon 7X
aeroplane experienced an uncontrolled pitch
trim runaway during descent. The crew
succeeded in recovering a stable situation
and performed an uneventful landing.
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
This condition, if occurring again, could
lead to a loss of control of the aeroplane.
To address this potential unsafe condition,
pending investigations by the manufacturer,
EASA issued emergency AD 2011–0102–E
(which corresponds to FAA AD 2011–12–51)
which prohibited further flights from its
effective date.
The initial results of the investigations
show that there was a production defect in
the Horizontal Stabilizer Electronic Control
Unit (HSECU) which could have contributed
to the cause of the event. There are two
different HSECU part numbers (P/N) in use:
P/N 051244–02 is not affected by this
production defect and P/N 051244–04 is
potentially affected by this production defect.
The aeroplane that experienced the
uncontrolled pitch trim runaway event was
equipped with a HSECU P/N 051244–04.
Investigations are continuing to confirm this
cause.
In the meantime, to allow re-starting flight
operations and providing protection against
further pitch trim runaway events, Dassault
Aviation have developed two modifications
(M1235 and M1236) which are implemented
through accomplishment of Dassault
Aviation Service Bulletin (SB) F7X–211.
Furthermore, the flight envelope must be
restricted, compared to the original certified
flight envelope. Dassault Aviation have
developed the corresponding Aircraft Flight
Manual (AFM) limitations and a placard, to
be installed in the cockpit (part of the
instructions of SB F7X–211) to remind the
flight crew of the limitations. In addition,
modified operational procedures have been
developed for in-flight activation of the new
protection.
A Certification Maintenance Requirement
(CMR), to repetitively test the new Horizontal
Stabilizer Trim Actuator (HSTA) electric
motors reversion relays (installed with
M1235 and M1236), has been developed and
must be introduced into chapter 5.40 of the
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).
Additionally, the Master Minimum
Equipment List (MMEL) is temporarily
modified by this AD to prohibit dispatch of
the aeroplane with some specific identified
failures.
To correct this unsafe condition and allow
resumption of flights for aeroplanes equipped
with HSECU P/N 051244–02, EASA issued
AD 2011–0114–E, which superseded EASA
AD 2011–0102–E, to require:
1. Accomplishing two Dassault Aviation
modifications,
2. Amending the AFM and installing a
placard in the cockpit,
3. Amending the Minimum Equipment List
(MEL), and
4. Implementing an operational test of the
HSTA electric motors reversion relays.
For aeroplanes equipped with HSECU P/N
051244–04, the prohibition of flights was
maintained.
Since EASA AD 2011–0114–E was issued,
Dassault Aviation have issued SB F7X–212
which gives instructions, for aeroplanes
equipped with HSECU P/N 051244–04, to
remove the HSECU for verification by
Rockwell Collins and replace it with an
HSECU that has passed the verification,
having a name plate with a stamped V. After
E:\FR\FM\05AUR1.SGM
05AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 151 / Friday, August 5, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
replacement of the HSECU P/N 051244–04
with a verified HSECU P/N 051244–04 ‘‘V’’,
the airplane can resume flights, provided the
requirements of this AD are complied with.
For the reasons described above, EASA AD
2011–0114R1 was issued to allow aeroplanes
equipped with HSECU P/N 051244–04 to
resume flights under the same conditions as
those previously established for aeroplanes
equipped with HSECU P/N 051244–02,
provided an HSECU P/N 051244–04 with
stamped ‘‘V’’ is installed.
Since EASA AD 2011–0114R1 was issued,
Dassault Aviation have developed a
modification of HSECU P/N 051244–04
which corrects the production defect found
on some of these units inspected during the
initial investigation. This modified unit has
a new P/N 051244–05 and it is eligible for
installation on an aeroplane.
For the reasons described above, this
revised AD is issued to allow aeroplanes
equipped with HSECU P/N 051244–05 to
resume flights under the same conditions as
those previously established for aeroplanes
equipped with HSECU P/N 051244–02, or
HSECU P/N 051244–04 with stamped ‘‘V.’’
This revised AD is still considered to be an
interim measure. Pending results of the
ongoing investigations, further AD action
may follow to restore a fully certified flight
envelope for aeroplanes of this type design.
Required actions include revising the
AFM to limit operation with certain
inoperative MEL items, and revising the
electronic checklist. You may obtain
further information by examining the
MCAI in the AD docket.

FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of This 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:55 Aug 04, 2011
Jkt 223001
referenced above. We are issuing this
AD because we evaluated all pertinent
information and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design.
Differences Between the 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 FAA policies.
Any such differences are highlighted in
a Note within the AD.
FAA’s Determination of the Effective
Date
An unsafe condition exists that
requires the immediate adoption of this
AD. The FAA has found that the risk to
the flying public justifies waiving notice
and comment prior to adoption of this
rule because of the possibility of an
uncontrolled pitch trim runaway during
descent, which could result in loss of
control of the airplane. Therefore, we
determined that notice and opportunity
for public comment before issuing this
AD are impracticable and that good
cause exists for making this amendment
effective in fewer than 30 days.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves
requirements affecting flight safety, and
we did not precede it by notice and
opportunity for public comment. We
invite you to send any written relevant
data, views, or arguments about this AD.
Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section.
Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2011–0631;
Directorate Identifier 2011–NM–134–
AD’’ at the beginning of your comments.
We specifically invite comments on the
overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of
this AD. We will consider all comments
received by the closing date and may
amend this AD because of those
comments.
We will post all comments we
receive, without change, to https://
www.regulations.gov, including any
personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact we receive
about this 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
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.

(Commonly referred to as Dassault Change
Proposal (CP) CP009 to Chapter 5–40–00 of
Dassault Falcon 7X Maintenance Manual).
The initial compliance time for doing the
operational test of the HSTA electric motors
reversion relays is 1,850 flight hours after
accomplishment of the applicable actions
required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
Note 2: The MM revision required by
paragraph (l) of this AD may be done by
inserting a copy of Dassault CP CP009, dated
June 10, 2011, to Chapter 5–40–00 of

Dassault CP CP009 has been included in
general revisions of the MM, the general
revisions may be inserted into the MM,
provided the relevant information in the
general revision is identical to that in
Dassault CP CP009, and Dassault CP CP009
may be removed.
No Alternative Procedures or Intervals
(m) After the maintenance program has
been revised as required by paragraph (l) of
this AD, no alternative procedure or interval
for the operational test may be used unless
the procedure and/or interval is approved as
an AMOC in accordance with the procedures
specified in paragraph (n) of this AD.
FAA AD Differences
Note 3: This AD differs from the MCAI
and/or service information as follows:
(1) EASA AD 2011–0114R2 requires
repetitive operational tests of the HSTA
electric motors reversion relays, and specifies
that the aircraft maintenance program may be
revised in lieu of those repetitive tests. This
FAA AD merely mandates revising the
maintenance program.
(2) EASA AD 2011–0114R2 does not
include any requirement to revise the
electronic checklist. Paragraph (j) of this FAA
AD requires this action.
(3) EASA AD 2011–0114R2 mandates
amending the minimum equipment list
(MEL) by removing certain items. This FAA
AD instead requires revising the AFM to
prohibit dispatch with those items
inoperative. The operational effect, however,
is the same.
Other FAA AD Provisions
(n) The following provisions also apply to
this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs): The Manager, International
Branch, Transport Airplane Directorate,
ANM–116, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the

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 refer to 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 ensure the product is airworthy before it
is returned to service.
47427
(3) Special Flight Permits: Special flight
permits, as described in Section 21.197 and
Section 21.199 of the Federal Aviation

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. 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:
Recently, a Dassault Aviation Falcon 7X aeroplane experienced an
uncontrolled pitch trim runaway during descent. The crew succeeded
in recovering a stable situation and performed an uneventful
landing.
This condition, if occurring again, could lead to a loss of
control of the aeroplane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On June 16, 2011, we issued AD 2011-12-51, Amendment 39-16735 (76
FR 37251, June 27, 2011). To address an unsafe condition, that AD
prohibited operation of the affected airplanes. That AD corresponds to
Emergency Airworthiness Directive 2011-0102-E, dated May 26, 2011,
issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, to
correct an unsafe condition for the specified products.
Since we issued AD 2011-12-51, we have been advised of the
development of new modifications that will address the unsafe
condition. We have determined that these modifications are necessary to
allow these airplanes to resume operation. The EASA issued Emergency AD
2011-0114-E, dated June 16, 2011, to supersede AD 2011-0102-E. The EASA
subsequently revised that AD with EASA AD 2011-0114R1, dated June 23,
2011. The EASA subsequently revised that AD with EASA AD 2011-0114R2,
dated July 7, 2011 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), which
states:
Recently, a Dassault Aviation Falcon 7X aeroplane experienced an
uncontrolled pitch trim runaway during descent. The crew succeeded
in recovering a stable situation and performed an uneventful
landing.
This condition, if occurring again, could lead to a loss of
control of the aeroplane.
To address this potential unsafe condition, pending
investigations by the manufacturer, EASA issued emergency AD 2011-
0102-E (which corresponds to FAA AD 2011-12-51) which prohibited
further flights from its effective date.
The initial results of the investigations show that there was a
production defect in the Horizontal Stabilizer Electronic Control
Unit (HSECU) which could have contributed to the cause of the event.
There are two different HSECU part numbers (P/N) in use: P/N 051244-
02 is not affected by this production defect and P/N 051244-04 is
potentially affected by this production defect. The aeroplane that
experienced the uncontrolled pitch trim runaway event was equipped
with a HSECU P/N 051244-04. Investigations are continuing to confirm
this cause.
In the meantime, to allow re-starting flight operations and
providing protection against further pitch trim runaway events,
Dassault Aviation have developed two modifications (M1235 and M1236)
which are implemented through accomplishment of Dassault Aviation
Service Bulletin (SB) F7X-211.
Furthermore, the flight envelope must be restricted, compared to
the original certified flight envelope. Dassault Aviation have
developed the corresponding Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) limitations
and a placard, to be installed in the cockpit (part of the
instructions of SB F7X-211) to remind the flight crew of the
limitations. In addition, modified operational procedures have been
developed for in-flight activation of the new protection.
A Certification Maintenance Requirement (CMR), to repetitively
test the new Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Actuator (HSTA) electric
motors reversion relays (installed with M1235 and M1236), has been
developed and must be introduced into chapter 5.40 of the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual (AMM).
Additionally, the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is
temporarily modified by this AD to prohibit dispatch of the
aeroplane with some specific identified failures.
To correct this unsafe condition and allow resumption of flights
for aeroplanes equipped with HSECU P/N 051244-02, EASA issued AD
2011-0114-E, which superseded EASA AD 2011-0102-E, to require:
1. Accomplishing two Dassault Aviation modifications,
2. Amending the AFM and installing a placard in the cockpit,
3. Amending the Minimum Equipment List (MEL), and
4. Implementing an operational test of the HSTA electric motors
reversion relays.
For aeroplanes equipped with HSECU P/N 051244-04, the
prohibition of flights was maintained.
Since EASA AD 2011-0114-E was issued, Dassault Aviation have
issued SB F7X-212 which gives instructions, for aeroplanes equipped
with HSECU P/N 051244-04, to remove the HSECU for verification by
Rockwell Collins and replace it with an HSECU that has passed the
verification, having a name plate with a stamped V. After
[[Page 47425]]
replacement of the HSECU P/N 051244-04 with a verified HSECU P/N
051244-04 ``V'', the airplane can resume flights, provided the
requirements of this AD are complied with.
For the reasons described above, EASA AD 2011-0114R1 was issued
to allow aeroplanes equipped with HSECU P/N 051244-04 to resume
flights under the same conditions as those previously established
for aeroplanes equipped with HSECU P/N 051244-02, provided an HSECU
P/N 051244-04 with stamped ``V'' is installed.
Since EASA AD 2011-0114R1 was issued, Dassault Aviation have
developed a modification of HSECU P/N 051244-04 which corrects the
production defect found on some of these units inspected during the
initial investigation. This modified unit has a new P/N 051244-05
and it is eligible for installation on an aeroplane.
For the reasons described above, this revised AD is issued to
allow aeroplanes equipped with HSECU P/N 051244-05 to resume flights
under the same conditions as those previously established for
aeroplanes equipped with HSECU P/N 051244-02, or HSECU P/N 051244-04
with stamped ``V.''
This revised AD is still considered to be an interim measure.
Pending results of the ongoing investigations, further AD action may
follow to restore a fully certified flight envelope for aeroplanes
of this type design.
Required actions include revising the AFM to limit operation with
certain inoperative MEL items, and revising the electronic checklist.
You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.
Relevant Service Information
Dassault has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin 7X-211, Revision 2,
including New Standard Installation Checklist and Appendix A, dated
June 22, 2011, including FCS Data Loading Procedure, Issue D, dated May
28, 2010; Mandatory Service Bulletin 7X-212, Revision 2, dated July 7,
2011; Service Bulletin 7X-213, dated June 22, 2011; Falcon 7X Airplane
Flight Manual, Revision 12, dated June 16, 2011; and Dassault Aviation,
Falcon 7X Maintenance Manual, Falcon 7X--Chapter 5-40-00 after Rev 01,
dated June 10, 2011 (Commonly referred to as Dassault Change Proposal
(CP) CP009 to Chapter 5-40-00 of Dassault Falcon 7X Maintenance
Manual). 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 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 issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.
Differences Between the 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 FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a Note within the AD.
FAA's Determination of the Effective Date
An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because of
the possibility of an uncontrolled pitch trim runaway during descent,
which could result in loss of control of the airplane. Therefore, we
determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before
issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for making
this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2011-0631; Directorate
Identifier 2011-NM-134-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
We will post all comments we receive, without change, to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this 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
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.

Information
(h) An HSECU replacement done before the effective date of this
AD in accordance with Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin 7X-212,
Revision 1, dated June 23, 2011, is acceptable for compliance with
the requirements of either paragraph (g)(3)(i) or (g)(3)(ii) of this
AD.
Revision of Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
(i) As of the effective date of this AD, operate the airplane
according to the limitations and procedures in the Dassault Falcon
7X AFM, Revision 12, dated June 16, 2011. Revision 12 introduces

Electronic Checklist Database Installation
(j) Before further flight, install the electronic checklist
V0007 database, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions
of Dassault Service Bulletin 7X-213, dated June 22, 2011.
Operating Restrictions
(k) Before further flight, revise the Limitations section of the
Dassault Falcon 7X AFM to include the following information. This
may be accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD into the AFM.
``Dispatch with any inoperative equipment identified below is
prohibited. This prohibition takes precedence over the FAA master
minimum equipment list (MMEL) or any operator's MEL.
Air data systems (identified as MEL item 34-9)
Multi functional probe (MFP) heating system (identified as MMEL
item 30-1)
ACMU3 and ACMU4 (identified as MMEL item 27-3)
LH REAR POWER 3 (identified as MMEL item 27-5-(-6)
Back-up mode (identified as MMEL item 27-8)''
Maintenance Program Revision
(l) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise
the maintenance program to incorporate MPD task 27-40-00-710-801, as
specified in Dassault Aviation, Falcon 7X Maintenance Manual, Falcon
7X--Chapter 5-40-00 after Rev 01, dated June 10, 2011 (Commonly
referred to as Dassault Change Proposal (CP) CP009 to Chapter 5-40-
00 of Dassault Falcon 7X Maintenance Manual). The initial compliance
time for doing the operational test of the HSTA electric motors
reversion relays is 1,850 flight hours after accomplishment of the
applicable actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
Note 2: The MM revision required by paragraph (l) of this AD
may be done by inserting a copy of Dassault CP CP009, dated June 10,
2011, to Chapter 5-40-00 of Dassault Falcon 7X MM into the MM. When
Dassault CP CP009 has been included in general revisions of the MM,
the general revisions may be inserted into the MM, provided the
relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in
Dassault CP CP009, and Dassault CP CP009 may be removed.
No Alternative Procedures or Intervals
(m) After the maintenance program has been revised as required
by paragraph (l) of this AD, no alternative procedure or interval
for the operational test may be used unless the procedure and/or
interval is approved as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures
specified in paragraph (n) of this AD.
FAA AD Differences
Note 3: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service
information as follows:
(1) EASA AD 2011-0114R2 requires repetitive operational tests of
the HSTA electric motors reversion relays, and specifies that the
aircraft maintenance program may be revised in lieu of those
repetitive tests. This FAA AD merely mandates revising the
maintenance program.
(2) EASA AD 2011-0114R2 does not include any requirement to
revise the electronic checklist. Paragraph (j) of this FAA AD
requires this action.
(3) EASA AD 2011-0114R2 mandates amending the minimum equipment
list (MEL) by removing certain items. This FAA AD instead requires
revising the AFM to prohibit dispatch with those items inoperative.
The operational effect, however, is the same.
Other FAA AD Provisions
(n) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, Transport Airplane Directorate, ANM-116, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the
[[Page 47427]]
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; phone: 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 refer to 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 ensure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
(3) Special Flight Permits: Special flight permits, as described
in Section 21.197 and Section 21.199 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199), are allowed, if conducted in
accordance with a method approved by the Manager, ANM-116,
International Branch, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA.
