SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 by adding an AD that would

[[Page 1176]]

apply to all Airbus Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, and -300 series 
airplanes; and Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. 
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July 7, 2016 (81 FR 
44235) (``the NPRM'').
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 
2015-0124R2, dated August 31, 2016 (referred to after this as the 
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to 
correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A330-200, -200 
Freighter, and -300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200, -300, -500, 
and -600 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    It was determined that, when there are significant differences 
between all airspeed sources, the flight controls of an Airbus A330 
or A340 aeroplane will revert to alternate law, the autopilot (AP) 
and the auto-thrust (A/THR) automatically disconnect, and the Flight 
Director (FD) bars are automatically removed. Further analyses have 
shown that, after such an event, if two airspeed sources become 
similar while still erroneous, the flight guidance computers will 
display the FD bars again, and enable the re-engagement of AP and A/
THR. However, in some cases, the AP orders may be inappropriate, 
such as an abrupt pitch command.
    This condition, if not corrected, may, under specific 
circumstances, result in reduced control of the aeroplane.
    In order to prevent such events, EASA issued AD 2010-0271 [which 
corresponds to FAA AD 2011-02-09, Amendment 39-16583 (76 FR 4219, 
January 25, 2011)] to require an amendment of the Airplane Flight 
Manual (AFM) to ensure that flight crews apply the appropriate 
operational procedure.
    Since EASA AD 2010-0271 was issued, new Flight Control Primary 
Computer (FCPC) software standards were developed that inhibit 
autopilot engagement under unreliable airspeed conditions. 
Consequently, EASA issued AD 2011-0199 (later revised) [which 
corresponds to FAA AD 2013-19-14, Amendment 39-17596 (78 FR 68347, 
November 14, 2013)] for A330 and A340-200/300 aeroplanes, and [EASA] 
AD 2013-0107 [which also corresponds to FAA AD 2013-19-14] for A340-
500/600 aeroplanes, to require a software standard upgrade of the 
three FCPCs by either modification or replacement.
    Since EASA AD 2011-0199R1 and [EASA] AD 2013-0107 were issued, 
new FCPC software standards were developed to correct aeroplane 
behaviour in case of undetected erroneous (Radio Altimeter) RA 
information and to introduce other improvements. In addition, the 
new FCPC software standards also implement enhanced Angle of Attack 
(AOA) monitoring in order to better detect cases of AOA blockage, 
including multiple AOA blockage.
    Prompted by these developments, EASA issued AD 2015-0124 (later 
revised) to require the latest software standard upgrade of the 
three FCPCs, either by modification or replacement. At the time, 
some of the Airbus SBs as specified in Table 1 (originally, Appendix 
1) of this [EASA] AD were not yet available.
    Since EASA AD 2015-0124R1 was issued, Airbus published SB A340-
27-5064, and for this reason, this [EASA] AD is revised to introduce 
the date of publication of this SB. This [EASA] AD also contains 
some editorial changes to meet the latest [EASA] AD writing 
standards, without changes to the technical content.
    There is still one SB that remains unavailable at this time. It 
is expected that this [EASA] AD will be revised again when this SB 
is published.

    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-2016-
7424.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and 
the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the NPRM

    The Air Line Pilots Association, International stated that it had 
no objection to the NPRM.

Request To Include Certain Service Information in the NPRM

    Airbus requested that Airbus Service Bulletin A340-27-5064, dated 
June 1, 2016, (``SB A340-27-5064, Revision 0''), which is applicable to 
Airbus Model A340-500 and -600 series airplanes, be included in the 
NPRM. Airbus noted that SB A340-27-5064, Revision 0, was issued after 
the NPRM was published and that EASA planned to issue a revision to 
EASA AD 2015-0124R1, dated February 2, 2016, to include SB A340-27-
5064, Revision 0.
    We agree with the commenter's request to include SB A340-27-5064, 
Revision 0, in this final rule. Paragraph (g) of the proposed AD 
instructed operators of Model A340-500 and -600 series airplanes to 
upgrade the three FCPCs in accordance with a method approved by the 
Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, 
FAA; or EASA; or Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA). Now 
that SB A340-27-5064, Revision 0, is available, we have revised 
paragraph (g) of this AD to require the upgrade to be done in 
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable 
service information specified in paragraphs (h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), 
(h)(4), and (h)(5) of this AD. We have added a new paragraph (h)(5) to 
this AD, which identifies the service information for Model A340-541 
and A340-642 series airplanes with hardware standard FCPC 2K2 as Airbus 
Service Bulletin A340-27-5064, dated June 1, 2016.
    In addition, the commenter is correct that EASA has revised AD 
2015-0124 R1, dated February 2, 2016, to include SB A340-27-5064, 
Revision 0. We have revised the Discussion section of this final rule 
and paragraph (p)(1), Related Information, of this AD to refer to the 
revised EASA AD 2015-0124R2, dated August 31, 2016.

Request To Include Certain Airplane Models in the NPRM

    Airbus stated that the NPRM addressed Model A330-200, -200 
Freighter, and -300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200 and -300 
airplanes; but not Model A340-500 and -600 series airplanes. Airbus 
commented that there were inconsistencies in the NPRM because if Model 
A340-500 and -600 series airplanes are not included in the 
applicability then paragraph (l) of the NPRM was incorrect because it 
referred to AD 2013-19-14, which includes all Model A340-541 and -642 
airplanes in its applicability.
    We infer that Airbus is requesting that Model A340-541 and -642 
airplanes be included in the applicability of the NPRM, or requesting 
that this AD be revised to remove all text that is associated with 
Model A340-541 and -642 airplanes.
    We agree to clarify. Model A340-541 and -642 airplanes were 
included in the applicability of the proposed AD and continue to be 
included in the applicability of this AD. The SUMMARY section of the 
NPRM included Model A340-500 and -600 series airplanes, and paragraphs 
(c)(6) and (c)(7) of the proposed AD included Model A340-541 and -642 
airplanes, respectively. In addition, paragraph (g) of the proposed AD 
specified that operators of Model A340-500 and -600 airplanes must 
upgrade the FCPCs in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, 
International Branch, ANM-116 Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or 
the EASA; or Airbus's EASA DOA. For clarification we have revised the 
header of paragraph (g) of this AD to include Model A340-500 and -600 
series airplanes.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments 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 minor changes:

[[Page 1177]]

     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.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the 
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following service information:
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-27-3205, Revision 02, dated 
March 23, 2016.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-27-3207, dated June 30, 2015.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-27-4195, dated November 24, 
2015.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-27-4196, dated November 24, 
2015.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-27-5064, dated June 1, 2016.
    The service information describes procedures for upgrading 
(replacing or modifying) the software standards for the FCPCs. These 
documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane models. 
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 92 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                    Cost per       Cost on U.S.
              Action                     Labor cost            Parts cost           product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modification/replacement..........  3 work-hours x $85    Not available.......            $255          $23,460
                                     per hour = $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be 
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected 
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected 
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost 
estimate.

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.

    (6) Model A340-541 airplanes.
    (7) Model A340-642 airplanes.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight 
Controls.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a determination that, due to significant 
differences among all airspeed sources, the flight controls will 
revert to alternate law, the autopilot (AP) and the auto-thrust (A/
THR) will automatically disconnect, and the flight director (FD) 
bars will be automatically removed. Then, if two airspeed sources 
become similar while still erroneous, the flight guidance computers 
will display the FD bars again, and enable the re-engagement of the 
AP and A/THR. In some

[[Page 1178]]

cases, however, the AP orders may be inappropriate, such as a 
possible abrupt pitch command. We are issuing this AD to prevent AP 
engagement under unreliable airspeed conditions, which could result 
in reduced control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 
unless already done.

(g) New Software Standard Upgrade for Model A330 Series Airplanes, and 
Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 Series Airplanes

to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer, the action must be 
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International 
Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or EASA; or 
Airbus's EASA DOA. If approved by the DOA, the approval must include 
the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): If any service information 
contains procedures or tests that are identified as RC, those 
procedures and tests must be done to comply with this AD; any 
procedures or tests that are not identified as RC are recommended. 
Those procedures and tests that are not identified as RC may be 
deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with the 
operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining 
approval of an AMOC, provided the procedures and tests identified as 
RC can be done and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy 
condition. Any substitutions or changes to procedures or tests 
identified as RC require approval of an AMOC.
