We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Turbomeca S.A. Arrius 2F turboshaft engines with a certain part number oil pump installed. This proposed AD was prompted by cases of deterioration of the gas generator front bearing due to a link loss between the pump driver and the oil pump shaft. This proposed AD would require inspection, and if necessary, replacement before further flight of the oil pump driver assembly and/or the oil pump shaft, or the oil pump itself. We are proposing this AD to prevent link loss between the pump driver and the oil pump shaft, which could lead to an engine in- flight shutdown, forced landing, and damage to the helicopter.

Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca S.A. Turboshaft Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for 
certain Turbomeca S.A. Arrius 2F turboshaft engines with a certain part 
number oil pump installed. This proposed AD was prompted by cases of 
deterioration of the gas generator front bearing due to a link loss 
between the pump driver and the oil pump shaft. This proposed AD would 
require inspection, and if necessary, replacement before further flight 
of the oil pump driver assembly and/or the oil pump shaft, or the oil 
pump itself. We are proposing this AD to prevent link loss between the 
pump driver and the oil pump shaft, which could lead to an engine in-
flight shutdown, forced landing, and damage to the helicopter.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 20, 2015.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA 
AD 2015-0049, dated March 17, 2015 (Corrected May 7, 2015) (referred to 
hereinafter as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the 
specified products. The MCAI states:

    A risk of an in-flight shutdown (IFSD) has been identified on an 
ARRIUS 2F engine, due to deterioration of gas generator front 
bearing. This could be the result of lack of lubrication, due to a 
link loss between pump driver and oil pump shaft.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to 
cases of IFSD, possibly resulting in forced landing with consequent 
damage to the helicopter and injury to occupants.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD 
docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for 
and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-0900.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Turbomeca S.A. has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. 319 
79 4834, Version B, dated October 21, 2014. The MSB describes 
procedures for inspecting the oil pump driver assembly on the oil pump 
shaft, the pump driver splines, and the oil pump splines. 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 of this NPRM.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of France, 
and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our 
bilateral agreement with the European Community, EASA has notified us 
of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information 
referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all 
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists 
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type 
design. This proposed AD would require inspection, and if necessary, 
replacement before further flight, of the oil pump driver

[[Page 29225]]

assembly and/or the oil pump shaft, or the oil pump itself.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects about 96 engines 
installed on helicopters of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it 
would take about two hours per product to comply with this proposed AD. 
The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Required parts would cost about 
$17,312 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of 
this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $1,678,272.

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.
    We are 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

    We 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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies 
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent 
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, and
    (4) 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.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the 
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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 (AD):

Turbomeca S.A.: Docket No. FAA-2015-0900; Directorate Identifier 
2015-NE-12-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by July 20, 2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Turbomeca S.A. Arrius 2F turboshaft 
engines with oil pump, part number (P/N) 0319155050, installed, 
except for:
    (1) Engines, equipped with an oil pump, P/N 0319155050, that 
were overhauled in a Turbomeca repair center after January 1, 2013,
