Airworthiness Directives; Dassault

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a
determination that non-conforming
washers may have been installed in
production on engine 1 and 3 forward
yokes. This AD requires a one-time
inspection for non-conforming washers
and, depending on findings, related
investigative and corrective actions, as
specified in a European Union Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is
incorporated by reference. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective August 16,
2024.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in this AD
as of August 16, 2024.

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 Dassault Aviation
Model FALCON 7X airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal
Register on April 9, 2024 (89 FR 24748).
The NPRM was prompted by AD 2023–
0208, dated November 22, 2023 (EASA
AD 2023–0208) (also referred to as the
MCAI), issued by EASA, which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States
of the European Union. The MCAI states
that a quality review revealed that
nonconforming washers may have been
installed in production on engine 1 and
3 forward yokes. This condition, if not
addressed, could lead to cracks in the
bolts and the engine forward yokes,
possibly resulting in loss of a lateral
engine.
In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to
require a one-time inspection for nonconforming washers and, depending on
findings, related investigative and
corrective actions, as specified in EASA
AD 2023–0208. The FAA is issuing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.
You may examine the MCAI in the
AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA–2024–0998.
Discussion of Final Airworthiness
Directive
Comments
The FAA received no comments on
the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.
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 referenced above. The FAA
reviewed the relevant data and
determined that air safety requires
adopting this AD as proposed.
Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on this
product. Except for minor editorial
changes, this AD is adopted as proposed
in the NPRM. None of the changes will
increase the economic burden on any
operator.
Related Material Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2023–0208 specifies
procedures for a one-time inspection for
non-conforming (non-compliant) double
countersink washers on the engine 1
and 3 forward yokes, installing the
engine 1 and 3 forward yokes with new
attachments, and, depending on
findings, related investigative and
corrective actions. Related investigative
and corrective actions include a special
detailed fatigue inspection for cracking
of the engine forward yokes and
replacement if any cracking is found.
This material 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
The FAA estimates that this AD
affects 8 airplanes of U.S. registry. The
FAA estimates the following costs to
comply with this AD:
ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS
Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per product
Cost on U.S.
operators
8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ..................................................................................
$16,280
$16,960
$135,680
The FAA estimates the following
costs to do any necessary on-condition
actions that would be required based on
the results of any required actions. The
FAA has no way of determining the
number of aircraft that might need these
on-condition actions:

Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per product
8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ..............................................................................................................
$33,170
$33,850
The FAA has included all known
costs in its cost estimate. According to
the manufacturer, however, some or all
of the costs of this AD may be covered
under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected operators.

section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII:
Aviation Programs, describes in more
PO 00000

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

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 134 / Friday, July 12, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
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.

This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another

Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in

Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 8 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 work-hours x $85 per hour = $680....................... $16,280 $16,960 $135,680
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:

The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact
on affected operators.
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
[[Page 57077]]
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.
