ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by the discovery that existing maintenance tasks do not detect the potential failure of the passenger door detent mechanism because there is no procedure for inspecting the passenger door locking mechanism.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The FAA 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 December 22, 2023 (88 FR 88541). The NPRM was prompted by AD CF–2023–25, dated April 13, 2023 (referred to after this as the MCAI), issued by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. The MCAI states time limited maintenance check (TLMC) item 52–11– 00–201, ‘‘Passenger Door Mechanism Functional Test,’’ does not detect potential failure of the passenger door detent mechanism. Associated aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) task 52– PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 41301 11–00–720–801, ‘‘Passenger Door Mechanism Functional Test,’’ does not provide a procedure for inspecting the passenger door locking mechanism. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to require use of a certain AMM task during accomplishment of a specified maintenance check. The FAA is issuing this AD to address potential failures of the uninspected detents (external handle detent and torque tube detent) in combination with a failure of the tension pot spring assembly. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in the main passenger door opening during unpressurized flight. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA–2023–2397. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received a comment from NetJets Inc. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to the comment. Request To Refer to Most Recent AMM Revision Level NetJets Inc. asked that the AMM task revision levels identified in the NPRM be changed, as there have been recent improvements to the documents. NetJets Inc. added that credit for the revisions currently listed should also be included in the proposed AD. Bombardier noted that the referenced AMM revision levels were revised during the public comment period of the NPRM. The FAA provides the following clarification denoting that the requested changes are unnecessary. This AD requires incorporating the information specified in the referenced AMM revisions identified in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD. The language in paragraph (g) of this AD allows the incorporation of the specific information, regardless of the AMM revision level in use, provided the language is identical to the information provided in Task 52–11–00–720–801, specified in the applicable AMMs specified in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD. The language in a later revision of the applicable AMMs specified in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD may be incorporated if it is identical. Therefore, if operators incorporate later AMMs into the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, with identical language they are in compliance with paragraph (g) of this AD. The FAA has confirmed that the revisions cited by the commenter are E:\FR\FM\13MYR1.SGM 13MYR1
