We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD was prompted by accomplishment of a taxi-out checklist which revealed that the elevator movement was partially obstructed due to rotation of the flight control lock adjuster bracket. This AD requires a one-time inspection of the elevator tension control regulator for discrepancies, and corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct discrepancies of the elevator tension control regulators. Such a condition could result in jamming of the elevator mechanism and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD
was prompted by accomplishment of a taxi-out checklist which revealed
that the elevator movement was partially obstructed due to rotation of
the flight control lock adjuster bracket. This AD requires a one-time
inspection of the elevator tension control regulator for discrepancies,
and corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct discrepancies of the elevator tension control regulators.
Such a condition could result in jamming of the elevator mechanism and
consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective June 30, 2016.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of June 30,
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 all Fokker Services B.V.
Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on January 13, 2016 (81 FR 1565) (``the NPRM'').
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0091, dated May 26, 2015 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Fokker Services
B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The MCAI states:

[[Page 33367]]

During the accomplishment of the taxi-out checklist on an F28
Mark 0100 aeroplane, the flight crew noticed that the elevator
movement was partially obstructed. The subsequent investigation
revealed that this was due to rotation of the flight control lock
adjuster bracket, which had come loose from the elevator tension
control regulator. Two of the three attachment bolts were found
broken, and two nuts were missing. Although no root cause could be
identified for the absence of these nuts, they are considered as the
main contributor to the occurrence.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
jamming of the elevator mechanism, possibly resulting in reduced
control of the aeroplane.
To address this potential unsafe condition, Fokker Services
published Service Bulletin (SB) SBF 100-27-095, which provides
instructions to detect and correct any discrepancies, and to re-
install missing or broken parts (if any).
For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time inspection of the elevator tension control regulator and,
depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective
action(s).
More information on this subject can be found in Fokker Services
All Operators Message AOF100-198.

Discrepancies include loose control lock adjuster brackets, broken
bracket attachment bolts, and missing nuts. 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-2015-8430.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed, except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

Fokker Services B.V. has issued Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-27-
095, dated April 22, 2015. The service information describes procedures
for a one-time inspection of the elevator tension control regulator for
discrepancies, and corrective actions. 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 8 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it takes 1 work-hour per product to do the
inspection in this AD, and 1 work-hour per product to report 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
$1,360, or $170 per product.
We have received no definitive data that will enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this 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 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.
