We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain REIMS AVIATION S.A. Model F406 airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as cracks found in the horizontal stabilizer rear attach structure and the vertical fin rear spar attach structure. We are issuing this AD to prevent structural failure of the horizontal stabilizer and/or the vertical fin rear spar attach structure, which could result in damage to the airplane and loss of control.

Airworthiness Directives; REIMS AVIATION S.A. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 
REIMS AVIATION S.A. Model F406 airplanes. This AD results from 
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an 
aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe 
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 
condition as cracks found in the horizontal stabilizer rear attach 
structure and the vertical fin rear spar attach structure. We are 
issuing this AD to prevent structural failure of the horizontal 
stabilizer and/or the vertical fin rear spar attach structure, which 
could result in damage to the airplane and loss of control.

DATES: This AD is effective November 2, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 2, 
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 REIMS AVIATION S.A. 
Model F406 airplanes. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on 
July 7, 2016 (81 FR 44244). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe 
condition for the specified products and was based on mandatory 
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation 
authority of another country. The MCAI states:

    Fatigue cracks and holes elongation were found on horizontal 
stabilizer fittings on F406 aeroplanes having accumulated more than 
2 500 flight hours (FH).

    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could result in 
loss of structural integrity of the horizontal stabilizer fittings.
    To initially address this issue, DGAC France published AD 2001-
161 to require repetitive visual inspections of the fittings, and, 
dependings on findings, replacement with a serviceable part.
    Since that AD was issued, during maintenance, cracks were found 
on a slice plate of horizontal stabilizer fittings. Consequently, 
ASI Aviation issued Service Bulletin (SB) CAB01-5 Revision 2 to 
provide instructions for additional eddy-current non-destructive 
test (NDT) inspections.
    For the reasons described above, this AD retains the 
requirements of DGAC France AD 2001-161, which is superseded, and 
requires the additional NDT inspections.

    The MCAI can be found in the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=FAA-2016-8161-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (81 FR 44244, July 7, 
2016) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant 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 (81 FR 44244, July 7, 2016) for correcting the unsafe condition; 
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 44244, July 7, 2016).

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed ASI Aviation Service Bulletin CAB01-5 Rev 2, dated 
December 3, 2015. The service information describes procedures for 
inspecting the horizontal stabilizer rear attach structure and the 
vertical fin rear spar attach structure for cracks and oversized bolt 
holes and making all necessary repairs and replacements. 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 AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 7 products of U.S. registry. 
We also estimate that it will take about 20.5 work-hours per product to 
comply with the basic inspections requirements of this AD (18 work-
hours to remove the horizontal stabilizer to gain access for the 
inspection and 2.5 work-hours to do the inspection). The average labor 
rate is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the inspection on 
U.S. operators to be $12,197.50, or $1,742.50 per product.
    We estimate that it will take about 25 work-hours per product to 
reinstall the horizontal stabilizer after doing the inspection and any 
necessary repairs or replacements. Based on these figures, we estimate 
the cost of this action on U.S. operators to be $14,875, or $2,125 per 
product.
    In addition, we estimate any necessary corrective actions as 
follows:

--Installing Service Kit SKRA406-11-Rev. 2 will take about 3 work-hours 
and require parts costing $65, for a cost of $320 per product. We have 
no way of determining the number of products that may need this action.
--Installing Service Kit SK406-137 (which superseded Service Kit 
SKRA406-12-Rev. 2) will take about 20 work-hours and require parts 
costing $2,000, for a cost of $3,800 per product. We have no way of 
determining the number of products that may need this action.
--Installing Service Kit SKRA406-13-Rev. 2 will take about 8 work-hours 
and require parts costing $1,800, for a cost of $2,480 per product. We 
have no way of determining the number of products that may need this 
action.

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 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.

    (1) At whichever of the compliance times specified in paragraphs 
(f)(1)(i) through (iii) of this AD that occurs the latest after 
November 2, 2016 (the effective date of this AD), and repetitively 
thereafter every 2,400 hours time-in-service (TIS), do a visual and 
non-destructive test (NDT) inspection of the horizontal stabilizer 
splice plate assembly, part number (P/N) 6032183-1 or P/N 406-5518-
32183-100 (as applicable), and the attach structure assembly P/N 
6031210-1. Do the inspections following the Accomplishment 
Instructions in ASI Aviation Service Bulletin CAB01-5 Rev 2, dated 
December 3, 2015.
    (i) Before accumulating 2,500 hours TIS; or
    (ii) Within the next 100 hours TIS; or
    (iii) At the next 600-hour inspection.
    (2) During any inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this 
AD, if any oversized bolt hole or crack is detected on the 
horizontal stabilizer splice plate assembly or attach structure 
assembly, before further flight, repair or replace the affected part 
with a serviceable part following the Accomplishment Instructions in 
ASI Aviation Service Bulletin CAB01-5 Rev 2, dated December 3, 2015. 
After taking the necessary corrective action, continue with the 
repetitive inspection specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.
