We are superseding
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011–21–
06 for all BAE SYSTEMS (Operations)
Limited Model 4101 airplanes. AD
2011–21–06 required revising the
maintenance program. This new AD
requires a new revision of the
maintenance or inspection program.
This AD was prompted by a
determination that the life limit of
certain main landing gear components
must be reduced, and certain post-repair
inspections of critical structure are
necessary. We are issuing this AD to
prevent failure of certain structurally
significant items, including the main
landing gear and nose landing gear,
which could result in reduced structural
integrity of the airplane; and to prevent
fuel vapor ignition sources, which could
result in a fuel tank explosion and
consequent loss of the airplane.
DATES: This AD is effective May 16,
2016.
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 2011–21–06,
Amendment 39–16829 (76 FR 64788,
October 19, 2011) (‘‘AD 2011–21–06’’).
AD 2011–21–06 applied to all BAE
SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model
4101 airplanes. The NPRM published in
the Federal Register on May 8, 2015 (80
FR 26484) (‘‘the NPRM’’).
The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness
Directive 2014–0043, dated February 21,
2014 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct
an unsafe condition for all BAE
SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model
4101 airplanes. The MCAI states:
The Jetstream J41 Aircraft Maintenance
Manual (AMM), includes the following
chapters:
05–10–10 ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations’’,
05–10–20 ‘‘Certification Maintenance
Requirements’’, and,
05–10–30 ‘‘Critical Design Configuration
Control Limitations (CDCCL)—Fuel
System’’.
The maintenance tasks and limitations
contained in these chapters have been
identified as mandatory actions for continued
airworthiness and EASA issued AD 2010–
0098 [dated May 27, 2010 (https://
ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2010-0098) which
corresponds to FAA AD 2011–21–06,
Amendment 39–16829 (79 FR 64788, October
19, 2011)] to require operators to comply
with those instructions.
Since that [EASA] AD was issued, BAE
Systems (Operations) Ltd issued Revision 37
of the AMM amending Chapter 05–10–10 to
revise and reduce the life limit of certain
main landing gear components. In addition,
Revision 38 of the AMM was issued to
amend Chapters 05–10–00 and 05–10–10
introducing inspections to be accomplished
after implementation of some repairs
affecting fatigue strength of critical structure.
Failure to comply with the new and more
restrictive actions could result in an unsafe
condition.
For the reasons described above, this
[EASA] AD, which supersedes EASA AD
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
2010–0098, requires implementation of the
maintenance requirements and/or
airworthiness limitations as specified in the
defined parts of Chapter 05 of the AMM at
Revision 38.
The unsafe condition is the failure of
certain structurally significant items,
including the main landing gear and
nose landing gear, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the
airplane; and fuel vapor ignition
sources, which could result in a fuel
tank explosion and consequent loss of
the airplane. You may examine the
MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet
at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA–2015–1279.
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.
Explanation of Change to NPRM
Since we issued the NPRM, we
discovered an incorrect reference to
‘‘paragraph (j)’’ in paragraph (i)(3) of the
proposed AD. The correct reference is to
‘‘paragraph (i),’’ and we have changed
this AD accordingly.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this AD
with the change described previously
and for minor editorial changes. We
have determined that these changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.

Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 4
airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions required by AD 2011–21–
06, Amendment 39–16829 (76 FR
64788, October 19, 2011), and retained
in this AD take about 1 work-hour per
product, at an average labor rate of $85
per work-hour. Based on these figures,
the estimated cost of the actions that are
required by AD 2011–21–06 is $85 per
product.
We also estimate that it would 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 on U.S.
operators to be $340, or $85 per product.
jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES
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.

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-21-06 for
all BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. AD 2011-21-
06 required revising the maintenance program. This new AD requires a
new revision of the maintenance or inspection program. This AD was
prompted by a determination that the life limit of certain main landing
gear components must be reduced, and certain post-repair inspections of
critical structure are necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent
failure of certain structurally significant items, including the main
landing gear and nose landing gear, which could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane; and to prevent fuel vapor
ignition sources, which could result in a fuel tank explosion and
consequent loss of the airplane.
DATES: This AD is effective May 16, 2016.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 16,
2016.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2011-21-06, Amendment 39-16829 (76 FR 64788,
October 19, 2011) (``AD 2011-21-06''). AD 2011-21-06 applied to all BAE
SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on May 8, 2015 (80 FR 26484) (``the NPRM'').
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0043, dated February 21, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all BAE SYSTEMS
(Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. The MCAI states:
The Jetstream J41 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), includes
the following chapters:
05-10-10 ``Airworthiness Limitations'',
05-10-20 ``Certification Maintenance Requirements'', and,
05-10-30 ``Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations
(CDCCL)--Fuel System''.
The maintenance tasks and limitations contained in these
chapters have been identified as mandatory actions for continued
airworthiness and EASA issued AD 2010-0098 [dated May 27, 2010
(https://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2010-0098) which corresponds to FAA AD
2011-21-06, Amendment 39-16829 (79 FR 64788, October 19, 2011)] to
require operators to comply with those instructions.
Since that [EASA] AD was issued, BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd
issued Revision 37 of the AMM amending Chapter 05-10-10 to revise
and reduce the life limit of certain main landing gear components.
In addition, Revision 38 of the AMM was issued to amend Chapters 05-
10-00 and 05-10-10 introducing inspections to be accomplished after
implementation of some repairs affecting fatigue strength of
critical structure. Failure to comply with the new and more
restrictive actions could result in an unsafe condition.
For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD, which
supersedes EASA AD 2010-0098, requires implementation of the
maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations as
specified in the defined parts of Chapter 05 of the AMM at Revision
38.
The unsafe condition is the failure of certain structurally
significant items, including the main landing gear and nose landing
gear, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the
airplane; and fuel vapor ignition sources, which could result in a fuel
tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane. You may examine the
MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-1279.
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.
Explanation of Change to NPRM
Since we issued the NPRM, we discovered an incorrect reference to
``paragraph (j)'' in paragraph (i)(3) of the proposed AD. The correct
reference is to ``paragraph (i),'' and we have changed this AD
accordingly.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD with the change described
previously and for minor editorial changes. We have determined that
these changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed Subjects 05-10-10, ``Airworthiness Limitations''; 05-
10-20, ``Certification Maintenance Requirements''; and 05-10-30,
``Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL)--Fuel
System''; of Chapter 05, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited J41 AMM, Revision 38, dated September 15,
2013. This service information describes procedures for inspections of
structurally significant items and the fuel system. This service
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section.
[[Page 21265]]
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions required by AD 2011-21-06, Amendment 39-16829 (76 FR
64788, October 19, 2011), and retained in this AD take about 1 work-
hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based
on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are required
by AD 2011-21-06 is $85 per product.
We also estimate that it would 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 on U.S. operators to be $340, 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;
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.
