ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are superseding
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009–18–
18 for certain ATR—GIE Avions de
´
Transport Regional Model ATR42 and
ATR72 airplanes. AD 2009–18–18
required repetitive inspections for
damage and absence of repair of the
cockpit forward side windows, and
replacement if necessary. This new AD
requires repetitive detailed inspections
of the cockpit forward side window for
damage and discrepancies; and
replacement if necessary. Replacing
both cockpit forward side windows with
approved windows terminates the
repetitive detailed inspections. This
new AD also expands the applicability
of AD 2009–18–18. The actions required
by AD 2009–18–18 are not required by
this AD. This AD was prompted by
reports of a cockpit forward right-hand
side blow out during flight. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct air/
water leakage of the cockpit forward
side window, which could lead to rapid
cabin decompression, resulting in loss
of control of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective May
8, 2014.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in this AD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2009–18–18,
Amendment 39–16014 (74 FR 46336,
September 9, 2009). AD 2009–18–18
applied to certain ATR—GIE Avions de
´
Transport Regional Model ATR42 and
ATR72 airplanes. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on November 27,
2013 (78 FR 70892). The NPRM was
prompted by reports of a cockpit
forward right-hand side blow out during
flight. The NPRM proposed to require
repetitive detailed inspections of the
cockpit forward side window for
damage and discrepancies; and
replacement if necessary. Replacing
both cockpit forward side windows with
approved windows would terminate the
repetitive detailed inspections. The
NPRM also proposed to expand the
applicability of AD 2009–18–18. The
actions required by AD 2009–18–18 are
not required by the NPRM. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct air/
water leakage of the cockpit forward
side window, which could lead to rapid
cabin decompression, resulting in loss
of control of the airplane.
The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Community, has issued EASA
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
18619
Airworthiness Directive 2013–0087,
dated April 9, 2013 (referred to after this
as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
for all ATR—GIE Avions de Transport
´
Regional Model ATR42–200, –300,
–320, and –500 airplanes; and Model
ATR72–101, –201, –102, –202, –211,
–212, and –212A airplanes; all
manufacturer serial numbers. The MCAI
states:
In 2009, a Left-Hand (LH) forward side
glass window of an ATR 72–212 aeroplane
blew out while performing a ground pressure
test. The investigation results revealed some
anomalies on the forward side window at the
level of the z-bar on the windows external
side and at the level of the inner retainer on
the windows internal side. Such anomalies
are considered as precursors of this kind of
failure. Air or water leakages between the zbar and the outer glass ply, or between the
inner retainer and inner glass ply indicate the
presence of deteriorating structural
components in the window.
Neither ATR nor PPG Aerospace have
authorized repairs on the window z-bar or zbar sealant. Any attempted repairs on these
forward side window z-bars and/or z-bar
sealants could lead to a similar event as
described above.
In-flight loss of a forward side window
would cause rapid cabin decompression,
possibly resulting in flight crew
incapacitation and consequent reduced
control, or loss of control of the aeroplane,
and cause the risk of injury to persons on the
ground. The loss of a forward side window
while the aeroplane is on the ground, due to
differential cabin pressure, could result in
injury to aeroplane occupants or to persons
outside the aeroplane.
To address this potential unsafe condition,
EASA issued AD 2009–0159–E [dated July
20, 2009] (https://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/
easa_ad_2009_0159E_superseded.pdf/EAD_
2009-0159-E_1) [which corresponds to FAA
AD 2009–18–18, Amendment 39–116014 (74
FR 46336, September 9, 2009)] to require
repetitive inspections of the affected LH and
right-hand (RH) cockpit forward side glass
windows and, in case discrepancies are
found as defined in PPG Aerospace Service
Bulletin (SB) NP–158862–001, the
replacement of the window(s).
Since that [EASA] AD was issued, a
cockpit forward RH-side window blew out
during flight on an ATR72–212 aeroplane.
Degradation of the window is considered to
have been the cause for this failure.
* * * [T]his [EASA] AD * * * requires to
accomplish the [detailed] inspections in
accordance with the instructions of Revision
1 of PPG Aerospace SB NP–158862–001,
which provides more information on
examples of [damaged and] discrepant
conditions.
This [EASA] AD also requires the removal
from service of the affected Part Number (P/
N) NP158862–1 and P/N NP158862–2
cockpit forward side windows, which
constitutes terminating action for the
repetitive inspections required by this AD.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 64 / Thursday, April 3, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
The corrective action is replacing
windows, if damage and discrepancies
are found. Damage and discrepancies to
detect during the inspection include zbar existing sealant repair, z-bar
deformation, separation or gap in the
sealant bond between the retainer and
inner glass ply, z-bar deformation and
retainer gap at same location, or z-bar
deformation and retainer gap in window
corner. You may examine the MCAI in
the AD docket on the Internet at

Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM (78
FR 70892, November 27, 2013) 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 this AD
as proposed except for minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these
minor changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR
70892, November 27, 2013) for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 70892,
November 27, 2013).
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 43
airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to
comply with 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
PO 00000
Frm 00010

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;
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.

airplanes to the applicability and, for
certain airplanes, requires that those
affected probes be replaced. This AD
was prompted by reports that the AoA
sensors on certain airplanes were
modified and re-identified without
performing the inspection to determine
the part number; therefore, the affected
probes were not replaced with
serviceable probes. We are issuing this
AD to prevent erroneous AoA
information and consequent delayed
activation or non-activation of the AoA
protection systems, which, in
combination with flight at a high angle
of attack, could result in reduced
controllability of the airplane.

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-18-18 for
certain ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and
ATR72 airplanes. AD 2009-18-18 required repetitive inspections for
damage and absence of repair of the cockpit forward side windows, and
replacement if necessary. This new AD requires repetitive detailed
inspections of the cockpit forward side window for damage and
discrepancies; and replacement if necessary. Replacing both cockpit
forward side windows with approved windows terminates the repetitive
detailed inspections. This new AD also expands the applicability of AD
2009-18-18. The actions required by AD 2009-18-18 are not required by
this AD. This AD was prompted by reports of a cockpit forward right-
hand side blow out during flight. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct air/water leakage of the cockpit forward side window, which
could lead to rapid cabin decompression, resulting in loss of control
of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective May 8, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2009-18-18, Amendment 39-16014 (74 FR 46336,
September 9, 2009). AD 2009-18-18 applied to certain ATR--GIE Avions de
Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and ATR72 airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on November 27, 2013 (78 FR 70892).
The NPRM was prompted by reports of a cockpit forward right-hand side
blow out during flight. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive
detailed inspections of the cockpit forward side window for damage and
discrepancies; and replacement if necessary. Replacing both cockpit
forward side windows with approved windows would terminate the
repetitive detailed inspections. The NPRM also proposed to expand the
applicability of AD 2009-18-18. The actions required by AD 2009-18-18
are not required by the NPRM. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct air/water leakage of the cockpit forward side window, which
could lead to rapid cabin decompression, resulting in loss of control
of the airplane.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2013-0087, dated April 9, 2013 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all ATR--GIE Avions
de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42-200, -300, -320, and -500
airplanes; and Model ATR72-101, -201, -102, -202, -211, -212, and -212A
airplanes; all manufacturer serial numbers. The MCAI states:
In 2009, a Left-Hand (LH) forward side glass window of an ATR
72-212 aeroplane blew out while performing a ground pressure test.
The investigation results revealed some anomalies on the forward
side window at the level of the z-bar on the windows external side
and at the level of the inner retainer on the windows internal side.
Such anomalies are considered as precursors of this kind of failure.
Air or water leakages between the z-bar and the outer glass ply, or
between the inner retainer and inner glass ply indicate the presence
of deteriorating structural components in the window.
Neither ATR nor PPG Aerospace have authorized repairs on the
window z-bar or z-bar sealant. Any attempted repairs on these
forward side window z-bars and/or z-bar sealants could lead to a
similar event as described above.
In-flight loss of a forward side window would cause rapid cabin
decompression, possibly resulting in flight crew incapacitation and
consequent reduced control, or loss of control of the aeroplane, and
cause the risk of injury to persons on the ground. The loss of a
forward side window while the aeroplane is on the ground, due to
differential cabin pressure, could result in injury to aeroplane
occupants or to persons outside the aeroplane.
To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2009-
0159-E [dated July 20, 2009] (https://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2009_0159E_superseded.pdf/EAD_2009-0159-E_1) [which
corresponds to FAA AD 2009-18-18, Amendment 39-116014 (74 FR 46336,
September 9, 2009)] to require repetitive inspections of the
affected LH and right-hand (RH) cockpit forward side glass windows
and, in case discrepancies are found as defined in PPG Aerospace
Service Bulletin (SB) NP-158862-001, the replacement of the
window(s).
Since that [EASA] AD was issued, a cockpit forward RH-side
window blew out during flight on an ATR72-212 aeroplane. Degradation
of the window is considered to have been the cause for this failure.
* * * [T]his [EASA] AD * * * requires to accomplish the
[detailed] inspections in accordance with the instructions of
Revision 1 of PPG Aerospace SB NP-158862-001, which provides more
information on examples of [damaged and] discrepant conditions.
This [EASA] AD also requires the removal from service of the
affected Part Number (P/N) NP158862-1 and P/N NP158862-2 cockpit
forward side windows, which constitutes terminating action for the
repetitive inspections required by this AD.
[[Page 18620]]
The corrective action is replacing windows, if damage and discrepancies
are found. Damage and discrepancies to detect during the inspection
include z-bar existing sealant repair, z-bar deformation, separation or
gap in the sealant bond between the retainer and inner glass ply, z-bar
deformation and retainer gap at same location, or z-bar deformation and
retainer gap in window corner. You may examine the MCAI in the AD
docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-0975-0002.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (78 FR 70892, November 27,
2013) 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 this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 70892, November 27, 2013) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 70892, November 27, 2013).
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 43 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product operators

inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have
no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need this
replacement.
On-Condition Costs

Where the service information lists required parts costs that are
covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge
for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected
parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here.
Paperwork Reduction Act
A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.
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;
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.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=FAA-2013-0975; or in person at the
Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through
