Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-23-19 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, and 702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. AD 2010-23-19 required repetitive inspections for damage of the main landing gear (MLG) inboard doors and fairing, and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD requires repetitive inspections for damage of the MLG inboard doors, MLG fairing, and adjacent structures of the MLG inboard doors, and corrective actions if necessary; replacement of the MLG fairing seal; and a terminating action involving increasing the clearances between the MLG fairing and MLG door. This new AD also adds one airplane and removes others from the applicability. This AD was prompted by reports of the MLG failing to fully extend. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of controllability of the airplane during landing. DATES: This AD is effective November 17, 2016. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of November 17, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2010-23-19, Amendment 39-16508 (75 FR 68695, November 9, 2010) (``AD 2010-23-19''). AD 2010-23-19 applied to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, and 702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3038) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by reports of the MLG failing to fully extend. The NPRM proposed to continue to require repetitive inspections for damage of the MLG inboard doors and fairing, and corrective actions if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require repetitive inspections for damage of the MLG inboard doors, MLG fairing, and adjacent structures of the MLG inboard doors, and corrective actions if necessary; replacement of the MLG fairing seal; and a terminating action involving increasing the clearances between the MLG fairing and MLG door. The NPRM also proposed to add one airplane and remove others from the applicability. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of controllability of the airplane during landing. Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Airworthiness Directive CF-2010-36R1, dated July 18, 2013 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, and 702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. The MCAI states: Two cases of main landing gear (MLG) failure to fully extend have been reported. An MLG failing to extend may result in an unsafe asymmetric landing configuration. Preliminary investigation has shown that interference between the MLG door and the MLG fairing seal prevented the MLG door from opening. This [Canadian] AD mandates the [detailed] inspection [for damage] and rectification [corrective action], as required, of the MLG fairing and seal, MLG door, and adjacent structures. Data collected from the Original Issue of this [Canadian] AD shows potential deficiencies with the inspection. This [Canadian] AD is revised to update the applicability section and to introduce additional mitigating actions and the terminating action [a modification that includes related investigative actions, and corrective action if necessary]. The unsafe condition is the loss of controllability of the airplane during landing. Damage includes the following:For the MLG fairing seal: Cracks, cuts, or tears in the material of the MLG [[Page 70596]] fairing seal, and cuts in the material base. For the MLG inboard doors: Missing or broken rollers on the MLG inboard door, missing stops, loose or missing fasteners from the stops, and damage (including, but not limited to, corrosion, cracking, and dents) along the edge of the MLG inboard door adjacent to the MLG fairing. For the MLG fairing: Missing forward and aft stops, loose or missing fasteners from the forward and aft stops, and damage (including, but not limited to, corrosion, cracking, and dents) along the edge of the MLG fairing adjacent to the MLG inboard door. For the stops and wedges on the forward and aft spars: Missing stops, loose or missing fasteners from the stops, missing wedges, and loose or missing fasteners from the wedges. Corrective actions include replacement of MLG fairing seals, and increasing the clearances between the MLG fairing and MLG door. The terminating modification involves increasing the clearance between the left and right MLG fairings and the left and right MLG doors. Related investigative actions for the terminating modification include the following inspections: A detailed inspection of the MLG fairing for missing forward and aft stops, loose or missing fasteners from the forward and aft stops, and damage along the edge of the MLG fairing adjacent to the MLG inboard door. A detailed visual inspection of the MLG inboard door for missing or broken rollers on the MLG inboard door, missing stops, loose or missing fasteners from the stops, and damage along the edge of the MLG inboard door adjacent to the MLG fairing. A detailed visual inspection on the stops and wedges on the forward and aft spars for missing stops, loose or missing fasteners from the stops, missing wedges, and loose or missing fasteners from the wedges. A liquid penetrant inspection or an eddy current inspection for cracks in the aft stop-fitting and stiffener of the forward member of the MLG inboard door. 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- 8471. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to the comment. Support for the NPRM The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), stated that it supports the proposed requirements. Request To Revise Preflight Check ALPA requested that we mandate a flightcrew check of the MLG door from the rear during preflight checks of the aft portion of the MLG. ALPA stated that an informal poll of ALPA carriers suggested that there is not a universally required position from which to make such a check. ALPA suggested that including a specific MLG fairing seal check in the preflight procedures would enhance the preflight inspection. We do not agree with the commenter's request. The door seals have numerous marks and the only way to determine if there is significant damage to the MLG door fairing and seal would be to perform a detailed inspection as specified in Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A670BA-32- 030. Flightcrews are not trained to accomplish this inspection and would not be able to accurately assess the damage during the limited time assigned for the preflight check. Canadian AD CF-2010-36R1, dated July 18, 2013, requires increasing the clearance between the MLG fairings and the MLG doors. The effectiveness of Canadian AD CF-2010- 36R1 is being monitored, and we have no information that the required modification is not effective. As of April 2016, Bombardier In-Service- Engineering has confirmed that there have been no reports of the MLG door being jammed in the MLG fairing on airplanes that have done the actions specified in Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-040. We have not changed this AD in this regard. Revised Service Information Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service Bulletin 670BA-32-040, Revision F, dated February 11, 2016, including Appendix A, Revision A, and Appendix B, Revision B, both dated July 12, 2014. This service information incorporates small editorial changes, which have no effect on airplanes that have incorporated prior revisions of this service information. We have revised paragraphs (n) and (o) of this AD to reference this service information as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the required actions in those paragraphs. We have also added a new paragraph (p)(3)(v) to this AD to give credit for accomplishment of the actions required by paragraph (n) of this AD, if those actions were performed before the effective date of this AD using Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-040, Revision E, dated November 13, 2014. Clarification of Revised Repair Instruction We have clarified the revised repair instructions in paragraph (g)(4) of this AD by specifying that, as of the effective date of this AD, if damage other than the damage identified in paragraph (g)(3) of this AD is found the repairs must be approved using a method approved by the Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), ANE-170, FAA; or Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA); or Bombardier, Inc.'s TCCA Design Approval Organization (DAO). Conclusion We reviewed the available data, including the comment 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 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 Bombardier, Inc. has issued Alert Service Bulletin A670BA-32-030, Revision D, dated August 6, 2013, which describes procedures for an inspection of the MLG inboard doors, MLG fairing, and adjacent structure of the MLG inboard doors. This service information also describes procedures for replacing damaged MLG fairing seal(s) and for a clearance check of the MLG door or, if necessary, for removing and/or installing a MLG door. Bombardier, Inc. has also issued Service Bulletin 670BA-32-040, Revision F, dated February 11, 2016, including Appendix A, Revision A, and Appendix B, Revision B, both dated July 12, 2014. This service information describes procedures for increasing the clearances between the fairing and the MLG inboard doors, and between the MLG fairing and adjacent structure of the MLG doors. This service information also describes procedures for adjusting the MLG doors. 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 70597]] Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 416 airplanes of U.S. registry. The actions required by AD 2010-23-19 and retained in this AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that were required by AD 2010-23-19 is $85 per inspection cycle for each product. We also estimate that it takes about 50 work-hours for each product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. 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 $1,768,000, or $4,250 for each product. In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on replacement actions would take about 24 work-hours and require parts costing $2,626, for a cost of $4,666 per product. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these actions. 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.
