Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are superseding
airworthiness directive (AD) 2007–19–
09R1 for all Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 2B1
turboshaft engines that do not have
modification TU157 incorporated. AD
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
2007–19–09R1 required replacement of
the hydromechanical metering unit
(HMU) with a serviceable HMU. This
AD requires HMU replacement;
reduction of the compliance interval;
and inclusion of the power turbine C2
cycle consumption rate when
determining compliance times. This AD
was prompted by reports of ruptures on
HMU constant delta pressure valves that
have less than 2,000 hours in service.
We are issuing this AD to prevent
failure of the HMU, which could lead to
damage to the engine, and damage to the
aircraft.
DATES: This AD is effective May 15,
2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2007–19–09R1,
Amendment 39–16322 (75 FR 30687,
June 2, 2010), (‘‘AD 2007–19–09R1’’).
AD 2007–19–09R1 applied to the
specified products. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
December 24, 2013 (78 FR 77614). The
E:\FR\FM\10APR1.SGM
10APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 69 / Thursday, April 10, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
NPRM proposed to continue to require
HMU replacement. That NPRM also
proposed to require reduction of the
compliance interval; and inclusion of
the power turbine C2 cycle
consumption rate when determining
compliance times.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM (78
FR 77614, December 24, 2013).
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this AD
as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 264
engines installed on airplanes of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will
take about one hour per engine to
comply with this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Required parts cost
about $5,000 per engine. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD
to U.S. operators is $1,342,440.
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska to the extent that it justifies
making a regulatory distinction, 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.
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 part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as
follows:
PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
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
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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2007-19-09R1, Amendment 39-16322 (75 FR 30687,
June 2, 2010), (``AD 2007-19-09R1''). AD 2007-19-09R1 applied to the
specified products. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
December 24, 2013 (78 FR 77614). The
[[Page 19813]]
NPRM proposed to continue to require HMU replacement. That NPRM also
proposed to require reduction of the compliance interval; and inclusion
of the power turbine C2 cycle consumption rate when determining
compliance times.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (78 FR 77614, December 24,
2013).
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 264 engines installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about one hour per
engine to comply with this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour.
Required parts cost about $5,000 per engine. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of this AD to U.S. operators is $1,342,440.
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
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 DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, and

2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by removing airworthiness directive (AD)
2007-19-09R1, Amendment 39-16322 (75 FR 30687, June 2, 2010), and
adding the following new AD:
2014-07-06 Turbomeca S.A.: Amendment 39-17820; Docket No. FAA-2007-
27009; Directorate Identifier 2007-NE-02-AD.
(a) Effective Date
This AD is effective May 15, 2014.
(b) Affected ADs
This AD supersedes AD 2007-19-09R1, Amendment 39-16322 (75 FR
30687, June 2, 2010).
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 2B1 turboshaft engines
that do not have modification TU157 incorporated.
(d) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by reports of ruptures on hydromechanical
metering unit (HMU) constant delta pressure valves that have less
than 2,000 hours in service. We are issuing this AD to prevent
failure of the HMU, which could lead to damage to the engine, and
damage to the aircraft.
(e) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(1) HMU operating hours and power turbine C2 cycles are known:
(i) If on the effective date of this AD, the HMU C2 cycles are
less than 900, then replace the HMU before the HMU accumulates 1,000
C2 cycles or 1,500 HMU operating hours, whichever occurs first;
(ii) If on the effective date of this AD, the HMU C2 cycles are
900 or more, then replace the HMU within 100 HMU C2 cycles after the
effective date of this AD;
(iii) Thereafter, replace the HMU at every 1,000 HMU C2 cycles
or 1,500 HMU operating hours, whichever comes first.
(2) HMU operating hours are known and C2 cycles are not known:
(i) If on the effective date of this AD, the HMU operating hours
are less than 1,100, then replace the HMU before accumulating 1,200
HMU operating hours;
(ii) If on the effective date of this AD, the HMU operating
hours are 1,100 or more, then replace the HMU within 100 HMU
operating hours after the effective date of this AD;
(iii) Thereafter, replace the HMU at every 1,200 HMU operating
hours.
(f) Definition
For the purpose of this AD, HMU operating hours or C2 cycles are
defined as operating hours or C2 cycles since new, since overhaul,
or since incorporation of Turbomeca S.A. Service Bulletin (SB) No.
292 73 2105, Version B, dated December 16, 2010, or earlier version,
or Turbomeca S.A. Mandatory SB (MSB) No. 292 73 2818, Version D,
dated June 24, 2013, or earlier version.
(g) Optional Terminating Action
Incorporation of Turbomeca S.A. SB No. 292 73 2157, Version C,
dated July 17, 2013, or earlier version, is terminating action to
the replacement and repetitive inspection requirements of this AD.
(h) Credit for Previous Actions
If you performed the actions required by paragraphs (e)(1) or
(e)(2) of this AD using an earlier version of Turbomeca S.A. MSB No.
292 73 2818, Version D, dated June 24, 2013, you met the
requirements of this AD. However, you must still repetitively
replace the HMU as required by paragraphs (e)(1)(iii) and
(e)(2)(iii) of this AD.
(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)
The Manager, Engine Certification Office, FAA, may approve AMOCs
