Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-09-04 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. AD 2016-09-04 required replacement of incorrectly calibrated angle of attack (AOA) transducers. This new AD requires the same actions as AD 2016-09-04. This new AD was prompted by a report of a typographical error in the regulatory text of AD 2016-09-04. We are issuing this AD detect and replace incorrectly calibrated AOA transducers; incorrect calibration of the transducers could result in late activation of the stick pusher. DATES: This AD is effective July 7, 2016. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of June 6, 2016 (81 FR 26102, May 2, 2016).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion On April 20, 2016, we issued AD 2016-09-04, Amendment 39-18502 (81 FR 26102, May 2, 2016) (``AD 2016-09-04''), for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. AD 2016-09-04 was prompted by the discovery of a number of incorrectly calibrated AOA transducers installed in the stall protection system. AD 2016-09-04 required replacement of incorrectly calibrated AOA transducers. We issued AD 2016-09-04 to detect and replace incorrectly calibrated AOA transducers; incorrect calibration of the transducers could result in late activation of the stick pusher. Since we issued AD 2016-09-04, we received a report of a typographical error in the regulatory text of AD 2016-09-04. Paragraph (h) of AD 2016-09-04 inadvertently stated, ``having a part number or serial number.'' This should have stated ``having a part number and serial number.'' We have revised paragraph (h) of this AD accordingly. Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2015-17, dated July 16, 2015 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The MCAI states: It was discovered that a number of AOA transducers installed on Bombardier CL-600-2B19 aeroplanes were incorrectly calibrated due to a quality control problem at both the production and repair facilities. Incorrect calibration of the AOA transducer could result in a late activation of the stick pusher. This [Canadian] AD mandates the replacement of the incorrectly calibrated AOA transducer. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016- 7266. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 We reviewed Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-27-164, dated March 30, 2015. The service information describes procedures for replacement of incorrectly calibrated AOA transducers with correctly calibrated AOA transducers. 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. FAA's Determination and Requirements of This 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 issuing this AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design. FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date We are superseding AD 2016-09-04 to correct a typographical error in the regulatory text. No other changes have been made to AD 2016-09- 04. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment are unnecessary. Comments Invited This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety, and [[Page 40489]] we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2016-7266; Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-085-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of those comments. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 575 airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 4 work-hours per product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $10,000 per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $5,945,500, or $10,340 per product. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 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 removing airworthiness directive (AD) 2016-09-04, Amendment 39-18502 (81 FR 26102, May 2, 2016), and adding the following new AD: 2016-13-02 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment 39-18566. Docket No. FAA- 2016-7266; Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-085-AD. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective July 7, 2016. (b) Affected ADs This AD replaces AD 2016-09-04, Amendment 39-18502 (81 FR 26102, May 2, 2016) (``AD 2016-09-04''). (c) Applicability This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers 7003 through 7067 inclusive, 7069 through 7990 inclusive, and 8000 through 8999 inclusive. (d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight Controls. (e) Reason This AD was prompted by the discovery of a number of incorrectly calibrated angle of attack (AOA) transducers installed in the stall protection system. We are issuing this AD to detect and replace incorrectly calibrated AOA transducers; incorrect calibration of the transducers could result in late activation of the stick pusher. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Retained Replacement of AOA Transducers With No Changes This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2016-09-04, with no changes. For AOA transducers identified in paragraph 1.A., ``Effectivity,'' of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-27-164, dated March 30, 2015: Within 2,500 flight hours or 12 months, whichever occurs first after June 6, 2016 (the effective date of AD 2016-09-04), replace the AOA transducers with correctly calibrated AOA transducers, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-27-164, dated March 30, 2015. (h) Retained Parts Installation Prohibition, With a Change to the Affected Parts Language This paragraph restates the parts installation prohibition specified in paragraph (h) of AD 2016-09-04, with a change to the affected parts language. As of June 6, 2016 (the effective date of AD 2016-09-04), no person may install, on any airplane, an AOA transducer having a part number and serial number listed in paragraph 1.A., ``Effectivity,'' of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-27-164, dated March 30, 2015. (i) Other FAA AD Provisions The following provisions also apply to this AD: (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), ANE-170, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding district office. The AMOC approval letter must specifically reference this AD. (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: As of the effective date of this AD, for any requirement in this AD to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer, the action must be accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, New York ACO, ANE-170, FAA; or Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA); or Bombardier, Inc.'s TCCA Design Approval Organization (DAO).
