Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation 
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2019-24, dated July 5, 
2019 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for 
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. 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-2019-
1081.
    This proposed AD was prompted by reports of the loss of all air 
data system information provided to the flightcrew, which was caused by 
icing at high altitudes. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the 
loss of all air data system information provided to the flightcrew. If 
not addressed, this condition may adversely affect continued safe 
flight and landing. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued the following service information, which 
provides a procedure for ``Unreliable Airspeed'' in the Emergency 
Procedures section, and also provides a procedure for ``Go-Around'' in 
the Normal Procedures section of the applicable AFM. These documents 
are distinct since they apply to different airplane models.
     Bombardier Challenger 300 AFM, Publication No. CSP 100-1, 
Revision 56, dated July 8, 2019.
     Bombardier Challenger 350 AFM, Publication No. CH 350 AFM, 
Revision 22, dated July 8, 2019.
    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.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, 
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI 
and service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD 
because the FAA evaluated all the relevant information and determined 
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop 
on other products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require revising the existing AFM with 
procedures for ``Unreliable Airspeed'' in the Emergency Procedures 
section of the applicable AFM and with procedures for ``Go-Around'' in 
the Normal Procedures section of the applicable AFM, as described 
previously.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 560 airplanes of 
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with 
this proposed 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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed 
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive 
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.
