ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Airbus SAS Model A330–200, –200F,
and –300 series airplanes. This AD was
prompted by a revision of the
airworthiness limitations section (ALS),
which provides new and more
restrictive maintenance requirements
and airworthiness limitations for
airplane structures and systems. This
AD requires revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program to
incorporate new maintenance
requirements and airworthiness
limitations. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these
products.
DATES: This AD is effective March 22,
2019.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in this AD
as of March 22, 2019.

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 Airbus SAS Model
A330–200, –200F, and –300 series
airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on August 31, 2018 (83
FR 44510). The NPRM was prompted by
a revision of the ALS, which provides
new and more restrictive maintenance
requirements and airworthiness
limitations for airplane structures and
systems. The NPRM proposed to require
revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program to incorporate new
maintenance requirements and
airworthiness limitations.
We are issuing this AD to address
reduced airplane control due to the
failure of system components.
The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
for the Member States of the European
Union, has issued EASA AD 2017–0228,
dated November 21, 2017 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
for all Airbus SAS Model A330 and
A340 series airplanes. The MCAI states:
The airworthiness limitations are currently
defined and published in the Airbus A330
and A340 Airworthiness Limitations Section
(ALS) documents. The airworthiness
limitations applicable to the System
Equipment Maintenance Requirements,
which are approved by EASA, are specified
in Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 4. Failure
to comply with these instructions could
result in an unsafe condition.
EASA issued AD 2016–0011 [which
corresponds to FAA AD 2017–05–10,
Amendment 39–18821 (82 FR 13379, March
13, 2017) (‘‘AD 2017–05–10’’)] to require the
actions as specified in Airbus A330 and A340
ALS Part 4 at Revision 05 and Revision 04,
respectively.
Since this [EASA] AD was issued, Airbus
published Revision 06 and Revision 05,
respectively, of Airbus A330 and A340 ALS
Part 4, which introduce new and more
restrictive maintenance requirements and/or
airworthiness limitations.
For the reason described above, this
[EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA
AD 2016–0011, which is superseded, and
requires accomplishment of the actions
specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 4 Revision
06, or A340 ALS Part 4 Revision 05, as
applicable.
The unsafe condition is reduced
control of the airplane due to the failure
of system components. 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–2018–
0788.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this final rule.
The following presents the comment
received on the NPRM and the FAA’s
response to each comment.
Request To Include Later Version of the
Service Information
American Airlines (AAL) requested
that we include Airbus A330
Airworthiness Limitations Section
(ALS) Part 4, System Equipment
Maintenance Requirements (SEMR),
Variation 6.1, dated January 16, 2018, as
the appropriate source of service
information. AAL indicated that the
variation document increases the flight
cycle life limitation of trimmable
horizontal stabilizer (THS) actuator P/N
47172–540 from 10,000 flight cycles to
20,000 flight cycles. AAL also pointed
out an alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) for AD 2017–05–10 has been
E:\FR\FM\15FER1.SGM
15FER1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 32 / Friday, February 15, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
approved to allow the incorporation of
the variation document into AAL’s
maintenance program (AMOC AIR–676–
18–026R1, dated August 13, 2018).
We agree with the commenter’s
request for the reasons provided. We
have revised paragraphs (g) and (h) of
this AD to include Airbus A330
Airworthiness Limitations Section
(ALS) Part 4, System Equipment
Maintenance Requirements (SEMR),
Variation 6.1, dated January 16, 2018, as
an appropriate source of service
information.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this
final rule 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
addressing 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 final rule.

CFR Part 51
Airbus SAS has issued the following
service information.
• A330 Airworthiness Limitations
Section (ALS) Part 4, System Equipment
Maintenance Requirements (SEMR),
Revision 06, dated September 18, 2017.
This service information describes
preventative maintenance requirements
and associated airworthiness limitations
applicable to aircraft systems
susceptible to aging effects.
• A330 Airworthiness Limitations
Section (ALS) Part 4, System Equipment
Maintenance Requirements (SEMR),
Variation 6.1, dated January 16, 2018.
This service information describes
preventative maintenance requirements
and associated airworthiness limitations
applicable to the THS actuator P/N
47172–540 and changes the flight cycle
life limitation from 10,000 flight cycles
to 20,000 flight cycles.
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.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 104
airplanes of U.S. registry.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
We have determined that revising the
existing maintenance or inspection
program takes an average of 90 workhours per operator, although we
recognize that this number may vary
from operator to operator. In the past,
we have estimated that this action takes
1 work-hour per airplane. Since
operators incorporate maintenance or
inspection program changes for their
affected fleet(s), we have determined
that a per-operator estimate is more
accurate than a per airplane estimate.
Therefore, we estimate the total cost per
operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours ×
$85 per workhour).
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.
This AD is issued in accordance with
authority delegated by the Executive
Director, Aircraft Certification Service,
as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C.
In accordance with that order, issuance
of ADs is normally a function of the
Compliance and Airworthiness
Division, but during this transition
period, the Executive Director has
delegated the authority to issue ADs
applicable to transport category
airplanes and associated appliances to
the Director of the System Oversight
Division.
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:
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

(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.

We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for all The
Boeing Company Model 787 series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a
report of an uncommanded descent and
turn that occurred after an inflight
switch to the spare flight management
function (FMF). This AD requires an
inspection of the flight management
system (FMS) to determine if certain
operational program software (OPS) is
installed and installation of new FMS
OPS and a software check if necessary.
For certain airplanes, this AD also
requires concurrent actions. We are
issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective March 22,
2019.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in this AD

Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to all The Boeing Company Model
787 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
October 23, 2018 (83 FR 53404). The
NPRM was prompted by a report of an
uncommanded descent and turn that
occurred after an inflight switch to the
spare FMF. The NPRM proposed to
require an inspection of the FMS to
determine if certain OPS is installed and
installation of new FMS OPS and a
software check if necessary. For certain
airplanes, it also proposed to require
concurrent actions.
We are issuing this AD to address the
retention of stale flight data in the spare
FMF, which, if not addressed, could
result in controlled flight into terrain or
a mid-air collision.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this final rule.
We have considered the comments
received. Boeing, Delta Air Lines, and B
McCann indicated their support for the
NPRM.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this
final rule 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 for
addressing the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.

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 Airbus SAS Model
A330-200, -200F, and -300 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on August 31, 2018 (83 FR 44510). The NPRM was
prompted by a revision of the ALS, which provides new and more
restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations for
airplane structures and systems. The NPRM proposed to require revising
the existing maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations.
We are issuing this AD to address reduced airplane control due to
the failure of system components.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2017-0228, dated November 21, 2017 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A330 and A340
series airplanes. The MCAI states:
The airworthiness limitations are currently defined and
published in the Airbus A330 and A340 Airworthiness Limitations
Section (ALS) documents. The airworthiness limitations applicable to
the System Equipment Maintenance Requirements, which are approved by
EASA, are specified in Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 4. Failure to
comply with these instructions could result in an unsafe condition.
EASA issued AD 2016-0011 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2017-05-
10, Amendment 39-18821 (82 FR 13379, March 13, 2017) (``AD 2017-05-
10'')] to require the actions as specified in Airbus A330 and A340
ALS Part 4 at Revision 05 and Revision 04, respectively.
Since this [EASA] AD was issued, Airbus published Revision 06
and Revision 05, respectively, of Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 4,
which introduce new and more restrictive maintenance requirements
and/or airworthiness limitations.
For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2016-0011, which is superseded, and requires
accomplishment of the actions specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 4
Revision 06, or A340 ALS Part 4 Revision 05, as applicable.
The unsafe condition is reduced control of the airplane due to the
failure of system components. 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-2018-0788.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents the comment received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.
Request To Include Later Version of the Service Information
American Airlines (AAL) requested that we include Airbus A330
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 4, System Equipment
Maintenance Requirements (SEMR), Variation 6.1, dated January 16, 2018,
as the appropriate source of service information. AAL indicated that
the variation document increases the flight cycle life limitation of
trimmable horizontal stabilizer (THS) actuator P/N 47172-540 from
10,000 flight cycles to 20,000 flight cycles. AAL also pointed out an
alternative method of compliance (AMOC) for AD 2017-05-10 has been
[[Page 4311]]
approved to allow the incorporation of the variation document into
AAL's maintenance program (AMOC AIR-676-18-026R1, dated August 13,
2018).
We agree with the commenter's request for the reasons provided. We
have revised paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD to include Airbus A330
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 4, System Equipment
Maintenance Requirements (SEMR), Variation 6.1, dated January 16, 2018,
as an appropriate source of service information.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule 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 addressing 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 final
rule.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
Airbus SAS has issued the following service information.
A330 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 4,
System Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR), Revision 06, dated
September 18, 2017. This service information describes preventative
maintenance requirements and associated airworthiness limitations
applicable to aircraft systems susceptible to aging effects.
A330 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 4,
System Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR), Variation 6.1, dated
January 16, 2018. This service information describes preventative
maintenance requirements and associated airworthiness limitations
applicable to the THS actuator P/N 47172-540 and changes the flight
cycle life limitation from 10,000 flight cycles to 20,000 flight
cycles.
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.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 104 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We have determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although we recognize that this number may vary from operator to
operator. In the past, we have estimated that this action takes 1 work-
hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or
inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), we have
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per
airplane estimate. Therefore, we estimate the total cost per operator
to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per workhour).
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.
This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.
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 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.
