Federal Register Volume 81, Issue 8 (January 13, 2016)

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter, A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that the inner bore of some main landing gear (MLG) unit bogie beams were insufficiently re-protected against corrosion after inspection or maintenance actions were accomplished. This AD requires for certain MLG units, determining which revision of the component maintenance manual (CMM) was used to accomplish the most recent MLG unit overhaul; a detailed inspection for missing or damaged paint, and if necessary, a detailed inspection of the cadmium plating for discrepancies, measurement of the depth of the cadmium plating, a general visual inspection of the base metal for corrosion or damage, a detailed inspection of repaired areas for cracking or corrosion; and corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion in the bore of each MLG unit bogie beam, which could result in collapse of a MLG unit, and subsequent damage to the airplane and injury to occupants.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 
Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter, A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, and 
A340-300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that the 
inner bore of some main landing gear (MLG) unit bogie beams were 
insufficiently re-protected against corrosion after inspection or 
maintenance actions were accomplished. This AD requires for certain MLG 
units, determining which revision of the component maintenance manual 
(CMM) was used to accomplish the most recent MLG unit overhaul; a 
detailed inspection for missing or damaged paint, and if necessary, a 
detailed inspection of the cadmium plating for discrepancies, 
measurement of the depth of the cadmium plating, a general visual 
inspection of the base metal for corrosion or damage, a detailed 
inspection of repaired areas for cracking or corrosion; and corrective 
actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct 
corrosion in the bore of each MLG unit bogie beam, which could result 
in collapse of a MLG unit, and subsequent damage to the airplane and 
injury to occupants.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 17, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of February 17, 
2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus Model A330-
200 Freighter, A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, and A340-300 series 
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 15, 2015 
(80 FR 34098).
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0222, dated October 6, 2014 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model 
A330-200 Freighter, A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, and A340-300 series 
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    From in-service experience, it was found that the inner bore of 
some bogie beams had been insufficiently re-protected against 
corrosion after inspection and/or possible maintenance actions 
accomplished in this area (absence of corrosion inhibitor and damage 
to paint have been found in some specific areas).
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to 
corrosion on the bore of the bogie beam, potentially resulting in 
Main Landing Gear (MLG) collapse, ultimately resulting in damage to 
the aeroplane and injury to the occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus issued Alert 
Operators Transmission (AOT) A32L004-14, providing inspection 
instructions for some aeroplane configurations.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires 
identification of the MLG units that are possibly affected, [a 
detailed] inspection [for missing or damaged paint] of the MLG Bogie 
Beam bore and, depending on findings, accomplishment of the 
applicable corrective actions.
    This [EASA] AD also prohibits the installation of MLG units that 
have been overhauled by using instructions from an earlier 
Components Maintenance Manual (CMM) revision.

    Required actions also include a detailed inspection of the cadmium 
plating for discrepancies (gray in color), measurement of the depth of 
the cadmium plating if necessary, and a general visual inspection of 
the base metal for corrosion or damage, and a detailed inspection of 
repaired areas for cracking or corrosion. Corrective actions include 
removing cadmium plating and repairing any cracked, corroded, or 
damaged areas; re-applying cadmium plating and paint; and re-applying 
temporary corrosion protection to the bores of the MLG bogie beams.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2015-1981-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We have considered the comments received. The following 
presents the comments received on the NPRM (80 FR 34098, June 15, 2015) 
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request for Clarification of Optional Method of Compliance

    Air France and American Airlines (AA) requested that paragraph (j) 
of the proposed AD (80 FR 34098, June 15, 2015) be revised to clarify 
that after accomplishment of the actions in the Accomplishment 
Instructions of Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin A33/34-32-272, dated 
November 16, 2007, including Appendixes A, B, C, and D, dated November 
16, 2007; or Service Bulletin A33/34-32-272, Revision 1, dated 
September 22, 2008, including Appendixes A, B, C, and D, dated 
September 22, 2008; the actions specified in the Messier-Dowty service 
information identified in paragraphs (j)(1) through (j)(5) of the 
proposed AD must not be accomplished on that same MLG unit.
    We agree with the commenters' request and have revised paragraph 
(j) of this AD to clarify that after accomplishment of the actions in 
the Accomplishment Instructions of Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin A33/
34-32-272, dated November 16, 2007, including Appendixes A, B, C, and 
D, dated November 16, 2007; or Service Bulletin A33/34-32-272, Revision 
1, dated September 22, 2008, including Appendixes A, B, C, and D, dated 
September 22, 2008; the actions specified in the Messier-Dowty service 
information identified in paragraphs (j)(1) through (j)(5) of this AD 
must not be accomplished on that same MLG unit. The actions in the 
Accomplishment Instructions of Messier-Dowty service information 
identified in paragraphs (j)(1) through (j)(5) do not provide 
sufficient corrosion protection for the MLG units.

[[Page 1506]]

Request To Correct Service Information Reference

    Air France requested that the references to the Airbus component 
maintenance manual in paragraph (g) of the proposed AD be changed to 
Messier-Dowty component maintenance manual.
    We agree with the commenter's request because the component 
maintenance manuals were published by Messier-Dowty, not Airbus. We 
have revised paragraphs (g) and (k) of this AD accordingly.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial 
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM (80 FR 34098, June 15, 2015) for correcting the unsafe condition; 
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM (80 FR 34098, June 15, 2015).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the 
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Alert Operators Transmission A32L004-14, dated 
July 28, 2014, including Appendixes 1, 2, 3, and 4. This service 
information describes procedures for inspections of the bogie beam bore 
of the MLG.
    Messier-Dowty has issued the following service information, which 
describes procedures for inspections of the internal diameter of the 
bogie beam for corrosion.
     Service Bulletin A33/34-32-272, dated November 16, 2007, 
including Appendixes A, B, C, and D, dated November 16, 2007.
     Service Bulletin A33/34-32-272, Revision 1, dated 
September 22, 2008, including Appendixes A, B, C, and D, dated 
September 22, 2008.
    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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 89 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 12 work-hours per product 
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD, and 1 work-hour to 
report the inspection findings. The average labor rate is $85 per work-
hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 
operators to be $98,345, or $1,105 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide 
cost estimates for any necessary follow-on actions.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for 
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of 
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control 
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in 
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for 
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with 
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden 
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA 
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information 
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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 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. 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; 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.
