Federal Register Volume 81, Issue 76 (April 20, 2016)

We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-10- 13, for all BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and Avro 146 series airplanes. AD 2010-10-13 currently requires repetitive inspections of the wing fixed leading edge and front spar structure for corrosion and cracking, and repair if necessary. Since we issued AD 2010-10-13, the Design Approval Holder (DAH) has issued revised inspection procedures that eliminate a previously approved inspection procedure. This proposed AD would require revised inspection procedures. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct corrosion and cracking of the wing fixed leading edge and front spar structure, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the wing.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-10-
13, for all BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and Avro 146 
series airplanes. AD 2010-10-13 currently requires repetitive 
inspections

[[Page 23209]]

of the wing fixed leading edge and front spar structure for corrosion 
and cracking, and repair if necessary. Since we issued AD 2010-10-13, 
the Design Approval Holder (DAH) has issued revised inspection 
procedures that eliminate a previously approved inspection procedure. 
This proposed AD would require revised inspection procedures. We are 
proposing this AD to detect and correct corrosion and cracking of the 
wing fixed leading edge and front spar structure, which could result in 
reduced structural integrity of the wing.

Discussion

    On April 30, 2010, we issued AD 2010-10-13, Amendment 39-16292 (75 
FR 27419, May 17, 2010) (``AD 2010-10-13''). AD 2010-10-13 requires 
actions intended to address an unsafe condition on all BAE SYSTEMS 
(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and Avro 146 series airplanes.
    Since we issued AD 2010-10-13, the DAH has issued revised 
inspection procedures that eliminates a previously approved inspection 
procedure.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0047, correction dated February 26, 2015 
(referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition. The MCAI 
states:

    Corrosion of the wing fixed leading edge structure was detected 
on a BAe 146 aeroplane during removal of wing removable edge for a 
repair. The review of available scheduled tasks intended to detect 
environmental and fatigue deteriorations of the wing revealed that 
they may not have been sufficient to identify corrosion or fatigue 
damage in the affected structural area.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to 
degradation of the structural integrity of the wing.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2009-
0014 (http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2009_0014_superseded.pdf/AD_2009-0014_1) [which corresponds 
to FAA AD 2010-10-13] to require repetitive inspections of fixed 
wing leading edge and front spar structure [for cracking and 
corrosion] [and repair if necessary] in accordance with BAE Systems 
(Operations) Ltd Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) ISB.57-072 which 
incorporated two possible inspection procedures, either method 1, a 
combination of a detailed visual inspection (DVI) and a visual 
inspection (VI) after removal of the outer fixed leading edge only, 
or method 2, a DVI only, after removal of the inner, centre and 
outer fixed leading edges.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd 
issued ISB.57-072 Revision 1 to correct a material reference number, 
Revision 2, which removed method 1 as an available inspection 
procedure to detect fatigue and environmental damage of the wing 
structure and Revision 3 to delete the requirement to install 
weights if the engines were removed when the leading edges were 
removed.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the 
requirements of EASA AD 2009-0014, which is superseded, but requires 
accomplishment of the [repetitive] inspections in accordance with 
updated inspection procedures, i.e. method 2 only.
    This [EASA] AD is re-published to correct a typographical error 
in Table 1, restoring a compliance time as previously required by 
EASA AD 2009-0014.

    The repetitive inspection interval for the detailed visual 
inspection for cracking and corrosion of the wing fixed leading edge 
and front spar structure is:
     12 years or 36,000 flight cycles, whichever occurs 
earlier, for airplanes on which the enhanced corrosion protection has 
not been accomplished.
     6 years or 36,000 flight cycles, whichever occurs earlier, 
for airplanes on which the enhanced corrosion protection has been 
accomplished.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
5465.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited has issued Service Bulletin 
ISB.57-072, Revision 3, dated August 31, 2010. The service information 
describes procedures for inspection and repair for cracking and 
corrosion of the wing fixed leading edge and front spar structure. 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.

[[Page 23210]]

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have 
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service 
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these 
same type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    The actions required by AD 2010-10-13, and retained in this 
proposed AD take about 12 work-hours per product, and 1 work-hour per 
product for reporting, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. 
Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are 
required by AD 2010-10-13 is $1,105 per product.
    The new requirements of this proposed AD add no additional economic 
burden.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide 
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed 
AD.

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 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; 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.
