SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 80–13–10, Amendment 39–3812 (45 FR 43155, June 26, 1980) (AD 80–13–10); AD 80– 13–12 R1, Amendment 39–4135 (46 FR 31251, June 15, 1981) (AD 80–13–12 R1); and AD 2008–03–01, Amendment 39 15350 (73 FR 5729, January 31, 2008) E:\FR\FM\10FER1.SGM 10FER1 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 28 / Thursday, February 10, 2022 / Rules and Regulations jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1 (AD 2008–03–01). AD 80–13–10 applied to de Havilland (type certificate now held by Viking Air Limited) Model ‘‘DHC–6 type’’ airplanes with certain MLG legs and required repetitively inspecting the weld juncture at the Yjoint of the MLG legs for cracks and corrosion. AD 80–13–12 R1 applied to certain serial-numbered de Havilland (now Viking Air Limited) Model ‘‘DHC– 6 type’’ airplanes with intermediate or high floatation tires, skis, or floats and required repetitively inspecting each engine nacelle lower longeron for cracks and buckling. AD 2008–03–01 applied to all Viking Air Limited Model DHC– 6–1, DHC–6–100, DHC–6–200, and DHC–6–300 airplanes and required incorporating the inspections, modifications, and life limits (retirement) of certain structural components, as contained in Revision 5 of the DHC–6 Product Support Manual (PSM) 1–6–11, into the aircraft maintenance program. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 8, 2021 (86 FR 61719). The NPRM was prompted by Canadian AD CF–2019–02, dated January 9, 2019 (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), issued by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. The MCAI applies to all Viking Air Limited (formerly de Havilland) Model DHC–6 series 1, DHC– 6 series 100, DHC–6 series 110, DHC–6 series 200, DHC–6 series 210, DHC–6 series 300, DHC–6 series 310, DHC–6 series 320, and DHC–6 series 400 airplanes. The MCAI states: The airworthiness limitations for DHC–6 aeroplanes are defined and published in the Viking Air Ltd. (Viking) Airframe Airworthiness Limitations Manual, Product Support Manual (PSM) 1–6–11, approved by Transport Canada. The instructions contained in PSM 1–6–11 have been identified as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness. Failure to comply with those instructions could result in an unsafe condition. Viking Air Ltd. published Revision 9 of PSM 1–6–11 earlier in 2018. Revision 9 of PSM 1–6–11, dated 30 April 2018, includes some new and/or more restrictive limitations than those contained in Revision 5. For the reason described above, this [Transport Canada] AD requires implementation of the actions specified in PSM 1–6–11 Revision 9. The compliance requirements for several of the tasks in PSM 1–6–11 were previously a range of flight hours and flight cycles. With Revision 9 of PSM 1–6–11, the range-based requirements have been changed to specific flight hours and flight cycle limits. This [Transport Canada] AD provides a phase-in allowance for those limitations so that operators will have the opportunity to schedule the modifications and inspections required by the limitations. The phase-in allowances are intended to mitigate the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:22 Feb 09, 2022 Jkt 256001 impact of changing from compliance ranges to compliance limits for aeroplanes that are approaching or have exceeded the limits on the effective date of the [Transport Canada] AD. Revision 9 of PSM 1–6–11 also includes some airworthiness limitations that were previously contained in service bulletins (SB) or other PSMs. Some of those limitations were mandated by [Transport Canada] ADs, specifically AD CF–80–06, CF–81–07R4 and CF–95–12. Because the affected limitations will now be controlled in PSM 1–6–11, the above mentioned [Transport Canada] ADs are superseded by this [Transport Canada] AD. The following are new tasks in PSM 1–6– 11 Revision 9: 1. Task 27–007 Replacement of flight control pulleys at Fuselage Station (FS) 270. 2. Tasks 32–001 and 32–002 Overhaul of main landing gear leg. There is an associated requirement to ensure that each affected part has been assigned a unique serial number. 3. Task 53–006 Inspection of the skin flange of machined frame at FS 239. 4. Tasks 54–003 to 54–010 Inspection of nacelle longerons. 5. Tasks 57–039 to 57–041 Inspection for wing upper skin disbond. Task 27–004 Replacement of flight control cables after spillage of corrosive materials in PSM 1–6–11 was limited to landplane configurations in previous revisions of PSM 1–6–11 but is now applicable to all configurations. The intent of the word ‘‘airframe’’ in PSM 1–6–11 Revision 9 is to include fuselage, nacelles, struts, interiors, cowlings, fairings, airfoils, landing gear and their controls. The airframe life limitation in PSM 1–6–11 Revision 9 is not intended to apply to components such as those in the fuel, electrical and hydraulic systems that are occasionally transferred from one aeroplane to another and may be salvaged from an aeroplane that is retired from service for use on an in-service aeroplane. PSM 1–6–13 defines current airworthiness limitations for DHC–6 avionics that are not addressed in this [Transport Canada] AD. Model DHC–6–400 airplanes were type certificated after Transport Canada AD CF–2000–14 was issued and are subject to the same unsafe condition. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2021–0960. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the costs. Conclusion 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 this State of Design Authority, it has notified the PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 7693 FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced above. The FAA determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 The FAA reviewed Viking Air Limited DHC–6 Twin Otter PSM 1–6– 11, Airframe Airworthiness Limitations Manual, Revision 9, dated April 30, 2018. The service information contains airworthiness limitations for certain structural components. 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 ADDRESSES. ADs Mandating Airworthiness Limitations The FAA has previously mandated airworthiness limitations by issuing ADs that require revising the airworthiness limitation section (ALS) of the existing maintenance manual or instructions for continued airworthiness to incorporate new or revised inspections and life limits. This AD, however, requires incorporating new or revised inspections and life limits into the maintenance records required by 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2) or 135.439(a)(2) for your airplane. The FAA does not intend this as a substantive change. Requiring incorporation of the new ALS requirements into the maintenance records, rather than requiring individual repetitive inspections and replacements, allows operators to record AD compliance once after updating the maintenance records, rather than recording compliance after every inspection and part replacement. Differences Between This AD and the MCAI The MCAI applies to Viking Air Limited Model DHC–6 series 110, DHC– 6 series 210, DHC–6 series 310, and DHC–6 series 320, and this AD does not because these models do not have an FAA type certificate. Transport Canada Models DHC–6 series 1, DHC–6 series 100, DHC–6 series 200, DHC–6 series 300, and DHC–6 series 400 airplanes correspond to FAA Model DHC–6–1, DHC–6–100, DHC–6–200, DHC–6–300, and DHC–6–400 airplanes, respectively. Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD affects 33 airplanes of U.S. registry. E:\FR\FM\10FER1.SGM 10FER1 7694 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 28 / Thursday, February 10, 2022 / Rules and Regulations The FAA also estimates that it would take about 1 work-hour per airplane to incorporate life limits, modification limits, and inspection or overhaul intervals into maintenance records. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $2,805 or $85 per airplane. 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 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) 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. 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by ■ a. Removing Airworthiness Directive 80–13–10, Amendment 39–3812 (45 FR 43155, June 26, 1980); Airworthiness Directive 80–13–12 R1, Amendment 39– 4135 (46 FR 31251, June 15, 1981); and Airworthiness Directive 2008–03–01, Amendment 39–15350 (73 FR 5729, January 31, 2008); and ■ b. Adding the following new airworthiness directive: ■ 2022–03–04 Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc. and de Havilland, Inc.): Amendment 39–21921; Docket No. FAA–2021–0960; Project Identifier 2019–CE–021–AD. (a) Effective Date This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective March 17, 2022. (b) Affected ADs This AD replaces the ADs specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this AD. (1) AD 80–13–10, Amendment 39–3812 (45 FR 43155, June 26, 1980). (2) AD 80–13–12 R1, Amendment 39–4135 (46 FR 31251, June 15, 1981). (3) AD 2008–03–01 Amendment 39–15350 (73 FR 5729, January 31, 2008). (c) Applicability This AD applies to Viking Air Limited (type certificate previously held by Bombardier, Inc. and de Havilland, Inc.) Model DHC–6–1, DHC–6–100, DHC–6–200, DHC–6–300, and DHC–6–400 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category. (d) Subject Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 0500, Time Limits. The Amendment (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as failure to comply with new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations, including tasks where range-based requirements have been changed to specific hours time-in-service (TIS) and flight cycle limits. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent loss of structural integrity of certain parts. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of control of the airplane. Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B, AS350B2, AS350B3, and AS350BA helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report that a modification of the electrical wiring of the hydraulic system was wrongly embodied on certain helicopters, and a wiring nonconformity caused the solenoid of the tail rotor (TR) load compensator to deenergize when the ‘‘HYD’’ cut-off switch was activated. This AD requires installing a placard in the cockpit, in full view of the pilots; a functional check of the main rotor (MR) and TR servo actuator solenoids, and corrective actions (modification) if necessary; a modification (unless already done); and, after corrective actions or modification, optional removal of the placard, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 7695 issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD becomes effective February 25, 2022. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of February 25, 2022.

Airworthiness Directives; Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate 
Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc. and de Havilland, Inc.) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 80-13-10, 
AD 80-13-12 R1, and AD 2008-03-01, which applied to certain de 
Havilland (type certificate now held by Viking Air Limited) Model DHC-
6-1, DHC-6-100, DHC-6-200, and DHC-6-300 airplanes. AD 80-13-10 
required repetitively inspecting the main landing gear (MLG) legs for 
cracks and corrosion. AD 80-13-12 R1 required repetitively inspecting 
each engine nacelle lower longeron for cracks and buckling. AD 2008-03-
01 required incorporating inspections, modifications, and life limits 
of certain structural components into the aircraft maintenance program. 
Since the FAA issued those ADs, new and more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations have been issued for certain structural components. This AD 
requires incorporating into maintenance records new or revised life 
limits, modification limits, and inspection or overhaul intervals. The 
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these 
products.

DATES: This AD is effective March 17, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of March 17, 
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 80-13-10, Amendment 39-3812 (45 FR 43155, 
June 26, 1980) (AD 80-13-10); AD 80-13-12 R1, Amendment 39-4135 (46 FR 
31251, June 15, 1981) (AD 80-13-12 R1); and AD 2008-03-01, Amendment 39 
15350 (73 FR 5729, January 31, 2008)

[[Page 7693]]

(AD 2008-03-01). AD 80-13-10 applied to de Havilland (type certificate 
now held by Viking Air Limited) Model ``DHC-6 type'' airplanes with 
certain MLG legs and required repetitively inspecting the weld juncture 
at the Y-joint of the MLG legs for cracks and corrosion. AD 80-13-12 R1 
applied to certain serial-numbered de Havilland (now Viking Air 
Limited) Model ``DHC-6 type'' airplanes with intermediate or high 
floatation tires, skis, or floats and required repetitively inspecting 
each engine nacelle lower longeron for cracks and buckling. AD 2008-03-
01 applied to all Viking Air Limited Model DHC-6-1, DHC-6-100, DHC-6-
200, and DHC-6-300 airplanes and required incorporating the 
inspections, modifications, and life limits (retirement) of certain 
structural components, as contained in Revision 5 of the DHC-6 Product 
Support Manual (PSM) 1-6-11, into the aircraft maintenance program. The 
NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 8, 2021 (86 FR 
61719).
    The NPRM was prompted by Canadian AD CF-2019-02, dated January 9, 
2019 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), issued by Transport 
Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. The MCAI applies to 
all Viking Air Limited (formerly de Havilland) Model DHC-6 series 1, 
DHC-6 series 100, DHC-6 series 110, DHC-6 series 200, DHC-6 series 210, 
DHC-6 series 300, DHC-6 series 310, DHC-6 series 320, and DHC-6 series 
400 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The airworthiness limitations for DHC-6 aeroplanes are defined 
and published in the Viking Air Ltd. (Viking) Airframe Airworthiness 
Limitations Manual, Product Support Manual (PSM) 1-6-11, approved by 
Transport Canada. The instructions contained in PSM 1-6-11 have been 
identified as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness. Failure 
to comply with those instructions could result in an unsafe 
condition.
    Viking Air Ltd. published Revision 9 of PSM 1-6-11 earlier in 
2018. Revision 9 of PSM 1-6-11, dated 30 April 2018, includes some 
new and/or more restrictive limitations than those contained in 
Revision 5. For the reason described above, this [Transport Canada] 
AD requires implementation of the actions specified in PSM 1-6-11 
Revision 9.
    The compliance requirements for several of the tasks in PSM 1-6-
11 were previously a range of flight hours and flight cycles. With 
Revision 9 of PSM 1-6-11, the range-based requirements have been 
changed to specific flight hours and flight cycle limits. This 
[Transport Canada] AD provides a phase-in allowance for those 
limitations so that operators will have the opportunity to schedule 
the modifications and inspections required by the limitations. The 
phase-in allowances are intended to mitigate the impact of changing 
from compliance ranges to compliance limits for aeroplanes that are 
approaching or have exceeded the limits on the effective date of the 
[Transport Canada] AD.
    Revision 9 of PSM 1-6-11 also includes some airworthiness 
limitations that were previously contained in service bulletins (SB) 
or other PSMs. Some of those limitations were mandated by [Transport 
Canada] ADs, specifically AD CF-80-06, CF-81-07R4 and CF-95-12. 
Because the affected limitations will now be controlled in PSM 1-6-
11, the above mentioned [Transport Canada] ADs are superseded by 
this [Transport Canada] AD.
    The following are new tasks in PSM 1-6-11 Revision 9:
    1. Task 27-007 Replacement of flight control pulleys at Fuselage 
Station (FS) 270.
    2. Tasks 32-001 and 32-002 Overhaul of main landing gear leg. 
There is an associated requirement to ensure that each affected part 
has been assigned a unique serial number.
    3. Task 53-006 Inspection of the skin flange of machined frame 
at FS 239.
    4. Tasks 54-003 to 54-010 Inspection of nacelle longerons.
    5. Tasks 57-039 to 57-041 Inspection for wing upper skin 
disbond.
    Task 27-004 Replacement of flight control cables after spillage 
of corrosive materials in PSM 1-6-11 was limited to landplane 
configurations in previous revisions of PSM 1-6-11 but is now 
applicable to all configurations.
    The intent of the word ``airframe'' in PSM 1-6-11 Revision 9 is 
to include fuselage, nacelles, struts, interiors, cowlings, 
fairings, airfoils, landing gear and their controls. The airframe 
life limitation in PSM 1-6-11 Revision 9 is not intended to apply to 
components such as those in the fuel, electrical and hydraulic 
systems that are occasionally transferred from one aeroplane to 
another and may be salvaged from an aeroplane that is retired from 
service for use on an in-service aeroplane. PSM 1-6-13 defines 
current airworthiness limitations for DHC-6 avionics that are not 
addressed in this [Transport Canada] AD.

    Model DHC-6-400 airplanes were type certificated after Transport 
Canada AD CF-2000-14 was issued and are subject to the same unsafe 
condition. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-
0960.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of 
the costs.

Conclusion

    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 this State of Design Authority, it 
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and 
service information referenced above. The FAA determined that air 
safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is 
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. This 
AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Viking Air Limited DHC-6 Twin Otter PSM 1-6-11, 
Airframe Airworthiness Limitations Manual, Revision 9, dated April 30, 
2018. The service information contains airworthiness limitations for 
certain structural components. 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 
ADDRESSES.

ADs Mandating Airworthiness Limitations

    The FAA has previously mandated airworthiness limitations by 
issuing ADs that require revising the airworthiness limitation section 
(ALS) of the existing maintenance manual or instructions for continued 
airworthiness to incorporate new or revised inspections and life 
limits. This AD, however, requires incorporating new or revised 
inspections and life limits into the maintenance records required by 14 
CFR 91.417(a)(2) or 135.439(a)(2) for your airplane. The FAA does not 
intend this as a substantive change. Requiring incorporation of the new 
ALS requirements into the maintenance records, rather than requiring 
individual repetitive inspections and replacements, allows operators to 
record AD compliance once after updating the maintenance records, 
rather than recording compliance after every inspection and part 
replacement.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    The MCAI applies to Viking Air Limited Model DHC-6 series 110, DHC-
6 series 210, DHC-6 series 310, and DHC-6 series 320, and this AD does 
not because these models do not have an FAA type certificate. Transport 
Canada Models DHC-6 series 1, DHC-6 series 100, DHC-6 series 200, DHC-6 
series 300, and DHC-6 series 400 airplanes correspond to FAA Model DHC-
6-1, DHC-6-100, DHC-6-200, DHC-6-300, and DHC-6-400 airplanes, 
respectively.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 33 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.

[[Page 7694]]

    The FAA also estimates that it would take about 1 work-hour per 
airplane to incorporate life limits, modification limits, and 
inspection or overhaul intervals into maintenance records. The average 
labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the cost of this AD on 
U.S. operators to be $2,805 or $85 per airplane.

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

    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) 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.

unless already done.

(g) Maintenance and Life Limits

    (1) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, 
incorporate into the maintenance records required by 14 CFR 
91.417(a)(2) or 135.439(a)(2) for your airplane the life limits, 
modification limits, and inspection or overhaul intervals in Viking 
Air Limited DHC-6 Twin Otter PSM 1-6-11, Airframe Airworthiness 
Limitations Manual, Revision 9, dated April 30, 2018 (Viking Air 
Limited PSM 1-6-11, Revision 9).
    (2) Before further flight after revising the maintenance records 
as required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, except as allowed under
