Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A330–200 Freighter,
–200, and –300 series airplanes; and
Model A340–200, –300, –500, and –600
series airplanes. This AD was prompted
by a report that erroneous height
indication by one radio altimeter with
engaged flare and retard mode, in case
of go-around, might lead to a temporary
loss of airplane longitudinal control.
This AD requires revising the airplane
flight manual. We are issuing this AD to
ensure that the flightcrew applies the
appropriate operational procedures in
the event of an erroneous indication of
the radio altimeter, which could result
in temporary loss of airplane
longitudinal control.
DATES: This AD becomes effective April
15, 2013.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in this AD
as of April 15, 2013.

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 October 25, 2012 (77 FR
65146). That NPRM proposed to correct
an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information (MCAI)
states:
Airbus performed tests to investigate the
consequences of one radio altimeter
providing an erroneous indication.
These tests concluded that with engaged
flare and retard mode, in case of go-around,
the situation may lead to a temporary loss of
aeroplane longitudinal control.
To address this condition, Airbus issued a
new Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
operational procedure.
For the reasons described above, this
[European Aviation Safety Agency] AD
requires amendment of the applicable AFM
to ensure that the flight crew applies the
appropriate operational procedures.
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
considered the comment received. Air
Line Pilots Association, International,
supported the NPRM (77 FR 65146,
October 25, 2012).
Explanation of Changes Made to This
AD
We have revised paragraph (g) and
Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD to
remove reference to inserting a copy of
this AD into the AFM as a method of
complying with the requirements of
paragraph (g) of this AD. Inserting a
copy of this AD into the AFM does not
address the unsafe condition identified
in this AD. This language was
erroneously included in the NPRM (77
FR 65146, October 25, 2012), and has,
therefore, been removed from this AD.

Conclusion
We reviewed the available data,
including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
with the changes described previously—
and minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM (77 FR
65146, October 25, 2012) for correcting
the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 65146,
October 25, 2012).
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect
64 products of U.S. registry. We also
estimate that it will take about 1 workhour per product to comply with the
basic requirements of this AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Based on these figures, we estimate the
cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to
be $5,440, 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 that this AD:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
E:\FR\FM\11MRR1.SGM
11MRR1
15280
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 47 / Monday, March 11, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
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.
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

other information. The street address for

That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2012 (77

Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received. Air Line Pilots
Association, International, supported the NPRM (77 FR 65146, October
25, 2012).
Explanation of Changes Made to This AD
We have revised paragraph (g) and Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this
AD to remove reference to inserting a copy of this AD into the AFM as a
method of complying with the requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD.
Inserting a copy of this AD into the AFM does not address the unsafe
condition identified in this AD. This language was erroneously included
in the NPRM (77 FR 65146, October 25, 2012), and has, therefore, been
removed from this AD.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the changes described previously--and minor editorial changes.
We have determined that these minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 65146, October 25, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 65146, October 25, 2012).
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 64 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be $5,440, or $85 per product.

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

regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator

the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this

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 that this AD:
1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
[[Page 15280]]
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.
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
