ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–700–1A10
and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This AD
was prompted by reports of aileron and
rudder control cables that may have
tensions that are beyond allowable
limits. This AD requires a revision to
the maintenance or inspection program
to incorporate certification maintenance
requirement tasks that introduce
functional tests of the control cable
tension. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these
products.

Examining the AD Docket
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model
BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11
airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on November 7, 2016
(81 FR 78080). The NPRM was
prompted by reports of aileron and
rudder control cables that may have
tensions that are beyond allowable
limits. The NPRM proposed to require
revising the maintenance or inspection
program to incorporate certification
maintenance requirement tasks that
introduce functional tests of the control
cable tension. We are issuing this AD to

detect and correct out-of-tolerance
tension in the control cables, which,
with certain system failures and
environmental conditions, could result
in reduced controllability of the
airplane.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF–2016–06R1,
dated July 25, 2016 (referred to after this
as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain Bombardier Model BD–700–
1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. The
MCAI states:
Recent in-service inspections have shown
that aileron and rudder control cables may
have tensions beyond allowable limits.
Review of the technical documentation found
that there are no maintenance tasks to detect
and rectify out-of-tolerance tensions on these
cables. Out of tolerance cables in
combinations with certain system failures
and environmental conditions could result in
the degraded aircraft controllability.
* * * [This Canadian] AD was issued to
mandate a revision to the approved
maintenance schedule [maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable] to
introduce cable tension check [e.g.,
functional test,] as [certification maintenance
requirement] tasks.
You may examine the MCAI on the
Internet at https://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA–2016–9304.
This AD requires revisions to certain
operator maintenance documents to
include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is
required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously
modified, altered, or repaired in the
areas addressed by this AD, the operator
may not be able to accomplish the
actions described in the revisions. In
this situation, to comply with 14 CFR
91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of
compliance according to paragraph (j)(1)
of this AD. The request should include
a description of changes to the required
actions that will ensure the continued
operational safety of the airplane.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. The
following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA’s
response to each comment.
Request To Reference the Latest Time
Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC)
General Revision Instead of the
Temporary Revision (TR)
Bombardier, Inc., and KACALP Flight
Operations requested that paragraph (g)
E:\FR\FM\27JYR1.SGM
27JYR1
34842
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 143 / Thursday, July 27, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
of this AD, reference the latest TLMC
general revision for each affected
Bombardier, Inc. airplane model instead
of the TR to each applicable TLMC. The
commenters noted that the TLMC TRs
are no longer available on Bombardier’s
Web site, as they have been
incorporated into the TLMC Revision.
The commenters indicated that the
Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF–
2016–06R1, dated July 25, 2016,
references these TLMC Revisions, as
should the FAA AD.
We do not agree to delay issuance of
this AD to reference the latest TLMC
general revision. Paragraph (g) of this
AD states that when the applicable TR
has been included in a general revision
of the TLMC, the general revision may
be inserted in the maintenance or
inspection program and the applicable
TR may be removed. The TR for each
affected Bombardier, Inc. airplane
model TLMC is available on the Internet
at https://www.regulations.gov. The
service information can be found by
searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA–2016–9304. We have, however,
added note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD
to identify the TLMC task number and
airplane maintenance manual (AMM)
manual number that corresponds to
each TR.
mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
Request To Revise Compliance Time
Bombardier, Inc., and KACALP Flight
Operations requested that we revise
paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) of the
proposed AD to remove the later
alternative compliance time ‘‘within 30
months since the date of issuance of the
original Canadian airworthiness
certificate or the date of issuance of the
original Canadian export certificate of
airworthiness.’’ The commenters noted
that some airplanes have already
exceeded, or will soon exceed, this
threshold and would be immediately
grounded by the proposed AD.
We agree with the request. We have
revised the compliance time in
paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) of this AD
to within 15 months after the effective
date of this AD. We have determined
that this change will not affect flight
safety or the calculated risk assessment,
and will not impose any additional
burden on any operator.
Request To Remove Paragraph (h)(3) of
This AD
Bombardier, Inc., requested that
paragraph (h)(3) of this AD be removed.
Bombardier, Inc., noted that the
Canadian AD CF–2016–06R1, dated July
25, 2016, did not give any actions for
the aircraft in paragraph (h) of this AD.
Bombardier, Inc. indicated that for these
aircraft, inserting the certification

maintenance requirements (CMR) task
into the scheduled maintenance or
inspection program, as described in
paragraph (g) of this AD, and following
the specified task interval in the TLMC
is sufficient.
We do not agree to remove paragraph
(h)(3) of this AD. Paragraph (h) of this
AD provides the compliance times for
the initial actions that are incorporated
into the maintenance or inspection
program, as specified in paragraph (g) of
this AD. These compliance times are
necessary to provide a starting point for
the inspections. The FAA finds it
necessary to specify initial compliance
times for maintenance actions in ADs
because this information is not normally
included in the design approval holder’s
(DAH) service information. The
airplanes identified in paragraph (h)(3)
of this AD are also identified in
paragraph (g) of this AD. We have not
changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Include CMR Tasks and
Procedures
KACALP Flight Operations requested
that we revise paragraph (i) of the
proposed AD to include the inspection
intervals and procedural instructions in
the referenced TR of the Bombardier
Model BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–
1A11 airplanes’ CMR. KACALP Flight
Operations then suggested that these
instructions in paragraph (i) of the
proposed AD be referenced in the TLMC
and AMM as a way to ensure
compliance with each subsequent
revision to the TLMC and AMM.
KACALP Flight Operations stated that
owner/operators are not obligated by
regulation to own a technical
subscription from the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM), but
that most recipients of a Bombardier
Technical Library own a digital
subscription. Bombardier, Inc.
automatically removes the TRs and
updates the standard issue to the TLMC
and AMM without immediate notice.
Bombardier stated that nothing would
trigger either the OEM or the subscriber
to look for changes to an interval or
procedure; therefore, these owner/
operators would not know if there is a
change to an interval or procedure.
KACALP Flight Operations suggested
that the FAA could mandate a
maintenance record requirement
specifically for aircraft inspection
programs.
We find that clarification is necessary.
When possible, we rely on the DAH to
provide accomplishment instructions in
their service information; referencing
this information provides for brevity in
ADs and minimizes errors in ADs.
Owners/operators are responsible for
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
compliance with ADs, as well as the
proper maintenance and safe operation
of their airplanes, by adhering to the
actions specified in the TLMC and
AMM. Therefore, we have not changed
paragraph (i) of this AD.
We also do not agree to mandate a
maintenance record requirement
specifically for aircraft inspection
programs. At this time, the FAA does
not require manufacturers to reference
ADs within their service information.
We have not changed this AD in this
regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this 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 for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
We also determined that these
changes will not increase the economic
burden on any operator or increase the
scope of 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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc.,
Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on November 7, 2016 (81 FR 78080). The NPRM was
prompted by reports of aileron and rudder control cables that may have
tensions that are beyond allowable limits. The NPRM proposed to require
revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate
certification maintenance requirement tasks that introduce functional
tests of the control cable tension. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct out-of-tolerance tension in the control cables, which, with
certain system failures and environmental conditions, could result in
reduced controllability of the airplane.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2016-06R1, dated July 25, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-
1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states:
Recent in-service inspections have shown that aileron and rudder
control cables may have tensions beyond allowable limits. Review of
the technical documentation found that there are no maintenance
tasks to detect and rectify out-of-tolerance tensions on these
cables. Out of tolerance cables in combinations with certain system
failures and environmental conditions could result in the degraded
aircraft controllability.
* * * [This Canadian] AD was issued to mandate a revision to the
approved maintenance schedule [maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable] to introduce cable tension check [e.g., functional
test,] as [certification maintenance requirement] tasks.
You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
9304.
This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance
documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance with
these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have
been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed
by this AD, the operator may not be able to accomplish the actions
described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR
91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative method
of compliance according to paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. The request
should include a description of changes to the required actions that
will ensure the continued operational safety of the airplane.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.
Request To Reference the Latest Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC)
General Revision Instead of the Temporary Revision (TR)
Bombardier, Inc., and KACALP Flight Operations requested that
paragraph (g)
[[Page 34842]]
of this AD, reference the latest TLMC general revision for each
affected Bombardier, Inc. airplane model instead of the TR to each
applicable TLMC. The commenters noted that the TLMC TRs are no longer
available on Bombardier's Web site, as they have been incorporated into
the TLMC Revision. The commenters indicated that the Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF-2016-06R1, dated July 25, 2016, references
these TLMC Revisions, as should the FAA AD.
We do not agree to delay issuance of this AD to reference the
latest TLMC general revision. Paragraph (g) of this AD states that when
the applicable TR has been included in a general revision of the TLMC,
the general revision may be inserted in the maintenance or inspection
program and the applicable TR may be removed. The TR for each affected
Bombardier, Inc. airplane model TLMC is available on the Internet at
https://www.regulations.gov. The service information can be found by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-9304. We have, however,
added note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD to identify the TLMC task
number and airplane maintenance manual (AMM) manual number that
corresponds to each TR.
Request To Revise Compliance Time
Bombardier, Inc., and KACALP Flight Operations requested that we
revise paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) of the proposed AD to remove the
later alternative compliance time ``within 30 months since the date of
issuance of the original Canadian airworthiness certificate or the date
of issuance of the original Canadian export certificate of
airworthiness.'' The commenters noted that some airplanes have already
exceeded, or will soon exceed, this threshold and would be immediately
grounded by the proposed AD.
We agree with the request. We have revised the compliance time in
paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) of this AD to within 15 months after the
effective date of this AD. We have determined that this change will not
affect flight safety or the calculated risk assessment, and will not
impose any additional burden on any operator.
Request To Remove Paragraph (h)(3) of This AD
Bombardier, Inc., requested that paragraph (h)(3) of this AD be
removed. Bombardier, Inc., noted that the Canadian AD CF-2016-06R1,
dated July 25, 2016, did not give any actions for the aircraft in
paragraph (h) of this AD. Bombardier, Inc. indicated that for these
aircraft, inserting the certification maintenance requirements (CMR)
task into the scheduled maintenance or inspection program, as described
in paragraph (g) of this AD, and following the specified task interval
in the TLMC is sufficient.
We do not agree to remove paragraph (h)(3) of this AD. Paragraph
(h) of this AD provides the compliance times for the initial actions
that are incorporated into the maintenance or inspection program, as
specified in paragraph (g) of this AD. These compliance times are
necessary to provide a starting point for the inspections. The FAA
finds it necessary to specify initial compliance times for maintenance
actions in ADs because this information is not normally included in the
design approval holder's (DAH) service information. The airplanes
identified in paragraph (h)(3) of this AD are also identified in
paragraph (g) of this AD. We have not changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Include CMR Tasks and Procedures
KACALP Flight Operations requested that we revise paragraph (i) of
the proposed AD to include the inspection intervals and procedural
instructions in the referenced TR of the Bombardier Model BD-700-1A10
and BD-700-1A11 airplanes' CMR. KACALP Flight Operations then suggested
that these instructions in paragraph (i) of the proposed AD be
referenced in the TLMC and AMM as a way to ensure compliance with each
subsequent revision to the TLMC and AMM. KACALP Flight Operations
stated that owner/operators are not obligated by regulation to own a
technical subscription from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM),
but that most recipients of a Bombardier Technical Library own a
digital subscription. Bombardier, Inc. automatically removes the TRs
and updates the standard issue to the TLMC and AMM without immediate
notice. Bombardier stated that nothing would trigger either the OEM or
the subscriber to look for changes to an interval or procedure;
therefore, these owner/operators would not know if there is a change to
an interval or procedure. KACALP Flight Operations suggested that the
FAA could mandate a maintenance record requirement specifically for
aircraft inspection programs.
We find that clarification is necessary. When possible, we rely on
the DAH to provide accomplishment instructions in their service
information; referencing this information provides for brevity in ADs
and minimizes errors in ADs. Owners/operators are responsible for
compliance with ADs, as well as the proper maintenance and safe
operation of their airplanes, by adhering to the actions specified in
the TLMC and AMM. Therefore, we have not changed paragraph (i) of this
AD.
We also do not agree to mandate a maintenance record requirement
specifically for aircraft inspection programs. At this time, the FAA
does not require manufacturers to reference ADs within their service
information. We have not changed this AD in this regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this 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 for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed the following Bombardier, Inc. service information:
TR 5-2-10, dated November 24, 2015, to Section 5-10-40, of
Bombardier Global Express XRS BD-700 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks.
TR 5-2-15, dated November 24, 2015, to Section 5-10-40, of
Bombardier Global 6000 GL 6000 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks.
TR 5-2-15, dated November 24, 2015, to Section 5-10-40, of
Bombardier Global 5000 GL 5000 Featuring Global Vision Flight Deck--
Time Limits/Maintenance Checks.
TR 5-2-16, dated November 24, 2015, to Section 5-10-40, of

TR 5-2-47, dated November 24, 2015, to Section 5-10-40, of
Bombardier Global Express BD-700 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks.
The service information identifies airworthiness limitation tasks
for functional tests of the cable tension of the aileron and rudder
control cables. These documents are distinct since they apply to
different airplane models. This service information is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal
[[Page 34843]]
course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 60 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost on
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per U.S.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
