SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF–
2021–14, dated April 7, 2021 (also
referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information,
or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe
condition for all 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–2021–
1014.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to all Bombardier, Inc., Model
BD–100–1A10 airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
November 26, 2021 (86 FR 67362). The
NPRM was prompted by a report that
the design of the spoiler control system
causes certain EICAS messages to be
posted intermittently and repetitively
during flight and on the ground, and
flightcrews must action the appropriate
checklist each time these messages
appear. The NPRM proposed to require
revising the Non-Normal Procedures
section of the existing AFM associated
with the SECU EICAS messages. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address
intermittent and repetitive messaging,
which increases overall workload and
introduces a risk that flightcrews could
become desensitized over time to the
messages. This could result in the
required checklist not being carried out
or completed, and could adversely affect
the airplane’s continued safe flight and
landing. See the MCAI for additional
background information.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the
opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The FAA received no
comments on the NPRM or on the
determination of the cost to the public.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data
and determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this
final rule as proposed, except for minor
editorial changes. The FAA has
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.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF-2021-14, dated April 7,
2021 (also referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for all 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-2021-
1014.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Bombardier, Inc.,
Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on November 26, 2021 (86 FR 67362). The NPRM was prompted by a report
that the design of the spoiler control system causes certain EICAS
messages to be posted intermittently and repetitively during flight and
on the ground, and flightcrews must action the appropriate checklist
each time these messages appear. The NPRM proposed to require revising
the Non-Normal Procedures section of the existing AFM associated with
the SECU EICAS messages. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
intermittent and repetitive messaging, which increases overall workload
and introduces a risk that flightcrews could become desensitized over
time to the messages. This could result in the required checklist not
being carried out or completed, and could adversely affect the
airplane's continued safe flight and landing. See the MCAI for
additional background information.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has 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.

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:
[[Page 7705]]
(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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
The Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:
2022-03-11 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment 39-21928; Docket No. FAA-
2021-1014; Project Identifier MCAI-2021-00428-T.
(a) Effective Date
This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective March 17, 2022.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to all Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10
airplanes.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight
controls.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by a report that the design of the spoiler
control system causes certain engine indication and crew alerting
system (EICAS) messages to be posted intermittently and repetitively
during flight and on the ground, and flightcrews must action the
appropriate checklist each time these messages appear. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address intermittent and repetitive messaging,
which increases overall workload and introduces a risk that
flightcrews could become desensitized over time to the messages.
This could result in the required checklist not being carried out or
completed, and could adversely affect the airplane's continued safe
flight and landing.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Revision of the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
Within 60 days after the effective date of this AD: Revise the
existing AFM to incorporate the information specified in Section 05-
23, Flight Controls, of Chapter 05, Non-Normal Procedures, of the
AFM revisions specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (2) of this AD, as
applicable.
