Federal Register Volume 81, Issue 32 (February 18, 2016)

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-26-02 for all Airbus Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes; and Airbus Model A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 series airplanes. AD 2015-26-02 required, for certain airplanes, identification of the part number, serial number, and standard of the ram air turbine (RAT) pump, RAT module, RAT actuator, and RAT lower gearbox assembly; replacement of the balance weight screw, modification of the actuator coil spring, modification of the actuator, an inspection of the anti-stall valve for correct installation in the RAT pump housing; and corrective actions if necessary. For certain other airplanes, AD 2015-26-02 required re- identification or replacement of the RAT module. This new AD requires the same actions as AD 2015-26-02. This new AD was prompted by a report of a typographical error in the regulatory text of AD 2015-26-02. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of the impeller function and RAT pump pressurization capability, which, if preceded by a total engine flame-out, could result in loss of control of the airplane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On December 9, 2015, we issued AD 2015-26-02, Amendment 39-18350 
(80 FR 81174, December 29, 2015) (``AD 2015-26-02''). AD 2015-26-02 
applied to all Airbus Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 
series airplanes; and Airbus Model A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and 
A340-600 series airplanes. AD 2015-26-02 was prompted by a report 
indicating that, during a production flight test, the RAT did not 
pressurize the green hydraulic system. AD 2015-26-02 required for 
certain airplanes, identification of the part number, serial number, 
and standard of the RAT pump, RAT module, RAT actuator, and RAT lower 
gearbox assembly; replacement of the balance weight screw, modification 
of the actuator coil spring, modification of the actuator, an 
inspection of the anti-stall valve for correct installation in the RAT 
pump housing; and corrective actions if necessary. For certain other 
airplanes, AD 2015-26-02 required re-identification or replacement of 
the RAT module. We issued AD 2015-26-02 to prevent loss of the impeller 
function and RAT pump pressurization capability, which, if preceded by 
a total engine flame-out, could result in loss of control of the 
airplane.
    Since we issued AD 2015-26-02, we received a report of a 
typographical error in the regulatory text of AD 2015-26-02. Paragraph 
(m) of AD 2015-26-02 inadvertently referred to paragraph (n) and should 
have referred to paragraph (o), ``Parts Installation Prohibition.''
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2013-0274, dated November 15, 2013 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model 
A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes; and Airbus 
Model A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 series airplanes. The 
MCAI states:

    During a production flight test of an A330-300 aeroplane, the 
Ram Air Turbine (RAT) did not pressurize the green hydraulic system. 
Investigation revealed that the impeller drive (hex) shaft had a 
reduced length of engagement with the pump drive shaft. This caused 
the impeller drive shaft to disengage from the pump and disconnect 
the impeller. It was determined that the disconnection was the 
result of internal hex dimensions on the pump impeller shaft, which 
had been changed in a manufacturing drawing. From the investigation 
analysis, it was possible to identify a list of affected parts.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to the 
loss of impeller function and RAT pump pressurization capability, 
possibly resulting, in case of total engine flame out, to the loss 
of control of the aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, a new design RAT pump shaft 
has been developed with a decreased hexagonal shaft housing depth, 
which increases the hexagonal drive shaft engagement in the impeller 
shaft to carry the impeller torque. Airbus issued Service Bulletin 
(SB) A330-29-3122, SB A340-29-4093 and SB A340-29-5021 to provide 
instructions for in-service replacement of the affected RAT 
hydraulic pumps, or re-identification of the RAT pump and complete 
RAT module, as applicable.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires 
identification and replacement [modification] or re-identification 
of all affected RAT hydraulic pumps on A330 and A340-200/300 
aeroplanes, and replacement [modification] of all affected RAT 
modules on A340-500/ -600 aeroplanes.

    For affected pumps, the required actions also include concurrent 
actions, as applicable, including replacement of the balance weight 
screw, modification of the actuator coil spring, modification of the 
actuator, an inspection of the anti-stall valve for correct 
installation in the RAT pump housing and re-installation if necessary. 
For affected pumps, corrective actions include replacement of the RAT 
hydraulic pump, and re-identification of the part number of the

[[Page 8136]]

RAT module. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
0467.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued the following service information:
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-29-3122, dated October 25, 
2012.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-29-4093, dated October 25, 
2012.
    This service information describes procedures for identifying the 
part number, serial number, and standard of the RAT pump, RAT module, 
RAT actuator, and RAT lower gearbox assembly; replacing the balance 
weight screw, modifying the actuator coil spring, modifying the 
actuator, and doing an inspection of the anti-stall valve for correct 
installation; and re-identifying the part numbers of the RAT hydraulic 
pump and RAT module.
    Airbus also issued Service Bulletin A330-29-3126, dated June 12, 
2014; and Service Bulletin A340-29-4097, dated June 12, 2014, which 
describe procedures for identifying the part number and serial number 
of the RAT actuator; modifying the RAT actuators; and re-identifying 
the part numbers of the RAT module.
    In addition, Airbus issued Service Bulletin A340-29-5021, dated 
October 2, 2012; and Service Bulletin A340-29-5025, dated June 16, 
2014, which describe procedures for replacing (modifying) the RAT 
module.
    Hamilton Sundstrand has issued Service Bulletin ERPS06M-29-19, 
dated August 6, 2012, which identifies the serial numbers of the 
suspect hydraulic pump.
    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 these 
same type designs.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    We are superseding AD 2015-26-02 to correct a typographical error 
in the regulatory text. No other changes have been made to AD 2015-26-
02. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for prior 
public comment are unnecessary.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight 
safety, and 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-2016-0467; Directorate 
Identifier 2016-NM-008-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 66 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 14 work-hours per 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 $78,540, or $1,190 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will 
take about 18 work-hours and require parts costing up to $427,301, for 
a cost of $428,831 per product. We have no way of determining the 
number of aircraft that might 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 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.
