Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes



AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT).



ACTION: Final rule.



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



SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-11-12, 

which applied to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. 

AD 2013-11-12 required inspecting for the correct serial number of a 

certain hydraulic system accumulator, and replacing affected hydraulic 

system accumulators with new or serviceable accumulators. This AD 

expands the applicability and requires modifying or replacing certain 

hydraulic brake system accumulators. This AD also requires revising the 

maintenance or inspection program to add life limits for the 

accumulators. This AD was prompted by a determination that certain 

other hydraulic system accumulators must be modified or replaced and 

life limits must be added. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products.



DATES: This AD is effective November 23, 2018.

    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 

reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of November 23, 

2018.

    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 

reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of July 

9, 2013 (78 FR 33206, June 4, 2013).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:



Discussion



    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2013-11-12, Amendment 39-17472 (78 FR 33206, 

June 4, 2013) (``AD 2013-11-12''). AD 2013-11-12 applied to certain 

Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. The NPRM published in 

the Federal Register on March 9, 2018 (83 FR 10415). The NPRM was 

prompted by a determination that certain other hydraulic system 

accumulators must be modified or replaced and life limits must be 

added. The NPRM proposed to continue to require inspecting for the 

correct serial number of a certain hydraulic system accumulator, and 

replacing affected hydraulic system accumulators with new or 

serviceable accumulators. The NPRM also proposed to expand the 

applicability and require modifying or replacing certain hydraulic 

brake system accumulators. The NPRM also proposed to require revising 

the maintenance or inspection program to add life limits for the 

accumulators. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of a screw cap 

or end cap and loss of the related hydraulic system, which could result 

in damage to airplane structure and consequent reduced controllability 

of the airplane.

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation 

authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-

2011-41R1, dated March 27, 2017 (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to 

correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-100-

1A10 airplanes. The MCAI states:



    Seven cases of on-ground hydraulic accumulator screw cap/end cap 

failure have been experienced on CL-600-2B19 aeroplanes, resulting 

in loss of the associated hydraulic system and high-energy impact 

damage to adjacent systems and structure. To date, the lowest number 

of flight cycles accumulated at the time of failure has been 6991.

    Although there have been no failures to date on any BD-100-1A10 

aeroplanes, accumulators similar to those installed on the CL-600-

2B19 are installed on the BD-100-1A10. The affected part numbers (P/

Ns) of the accumulators installed on BD-100-1A10 are 900095-1 

(Auxiliary Hydraulic System accumulator), 33-155500 (Inboard Brake 

accumulator), and 33-147500 (Outboard Brake accumulator).

    A detailed analysis of the calculated line of trajectory of a 

failed screw cap/end cap for the accumulators has been conducted, 

resulting in the identification of areas where systems and/or 

structural components could potentially be damaged. Although all of 

the failures on the CL-600-2B19 to date have occurred on the ground, 

an in-flight failure affecting such components could potentially 

have an adverse effect on the controllability of the aeroplane.

    Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate the 

[inspection and] replacement [of] Brake System Hydraulic 

accumulators that are not identified by the letter ``E'' or ``NAE'' 

after the serial number on the identification plate. Revision 1 also 

mandates the re-orientation of the brake accumulators P/N 33-147500 

and P/N 33-155500 and the insertion of three discard tasks in the 

Challenger 300 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC) Manual.



    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-2018-

0161.



Comments



    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 

this final rule. The following presents the comment received on the 

NPRM and the FAA's response.



Request To Add Maintenance Manual



    NetJets Aviation stated that paragraph (n) of the proposed AD, 

which requires revising the maintenance or inspection program to 

incorporate certain life limit tasks, does not reference the Bombardier 

Challenger 350 Time Limits/Maintenance Check (TLMC) Manual. NetJets 

Aviation noted that only the Bombardier Challenger 300 TLMC Manual is 

referenced.

    We infer that the commenter is asking that the Bombardier 

Challenger 350 TLMC Manual be added as another source of service 

information for accomplishing the actions required by paragraph (n) of 

this AD. We agree with the commenter's request and have changed 

paragraph (n) accordingly. Although the tasks identified in the 

Bombardier Challenger 300 TLMC Manual also apply to Bombardier 

Challenger 350 airplanes, we have included the Bombardier Challenger 

350 TLMC in this AD for clarity.



Conclusion



    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 

this final rule with the change described previously and minor 

editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:

     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 

NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and

     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 

already proposed in the NPRM.

    We also determined that this change will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final rule.

Costs of Compliance



    We estimate that this AD affects 187 airplanes of U.S. registry.

    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:



                                                                     Estimated Costs

 actions).

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



    We have determined that revising the maintenance or inspection 

program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although we 

recognize that this number may vary from operator to operator. In the 

past, we have estimated that this action takes 1 work-hour per 

airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program 

changes for their affected fleet(s), we have determined that a per-

operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. 

Therefore, we estimate the total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90 

work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements 

that will be required based on the results of the inspection. We have 

no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these 

replacements.

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.

    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the 

Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by 

FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is 

normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but 

during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the 

authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes to 

the Director of the System Oversight Division.



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.

resulted in loss of use of that hydraulic system and high-energy 

impact damage to adjacent systems and structures. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent failure of a screw cap or end cap and loss of the 

related hydraulic system, which could result in damage to airplane 

structure and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.



(f) Compliance



    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 

unless already done.



(g) Retained Inspection With No Changes



    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 

2013-11-12 with no changes. For airplanes having serial numbers 

20003 through 20335 inclusive: At the applicable time specified in 

paragraph (g)(1), (g)(2), or (g)(3) of this AD: Inspect the 

identification plate on the hydraulic system accumulator having part 

number (P/N) 900095-1 to determine if an ``E'' is part of the suffix 

of the serial number stamped on the identification plate, as listed 

in paragraph 2.B. of the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 100-29-14, dated December 16, 2010. A review of

inspection if the suffix of the serial number can be conclusively 

determined from that review.

    (1) For an accumulator that has accumulated more than 3,150 

total flight cycles as of July 9, 2013 (the effective date of AD 

2013-11-12), inspect that accumulator within 350 flight cycles after 

July 9, 2013.

    (2) For an accumulator that has accumulated 3,150 or fewer total 

flight cycles as of July 9, 2013 (the effective date of AD 2013-11-

12), inspect that accumulator before it has accumulated 3,500 total 

flight cycles.

    (3) For an accumulator on which it is not possible to determine 

the total flight cycles accumulated as of July 9, 2013 (the 

effective date of AD 2013-11-12), inspect that accumulator within 

350 flight cycles after July 9, 2013.



(h) Retained Replacement With No Changes



    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD 

2013-11-12 with no changes. If, during the inspection required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD, any accumulator having P/N 900095-1 is 

found on which the letter ``E'' is not part of the suffix of the 

serial number on the identification plate: Before further flight, 

replace the accumulator with a new or serviceable accumulator, in

accumulators having P/N 33-147500 or P/N 33-155500 that are not 

identified by the letter ``E'' or ``NAE'' after the serial number on 

the identification plate with an accumulator of the same part number 

that is identified by the letter ``E'' or ``NAE'' after the serial 

number. Do the replacement in accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 100-32-21, dated May 24, 

2012.

    (1) For an accumulator that has accumulated more than 4,700 

total flight cycles as of the effective date of this AD, inspect 

that accumulator within 300 flight cycles after the effective date 

of this AD.

    (2) For an accumulator that has accumulated 4,700 or fewer total 

flight cycles as of the effective date of this AD, inspect that 

accumulator before it has accumulated 5,000 total flight cycles.

    (3) For an accumulator on which it is not possible to determine 

the total flight cycles accumulated as of the effective date of this 

AD, inspect that accumulator within 300 flight cycles after the 

effective date of this AD.



(k) New Requirement of This AD: Additional Parts Installation 

Prohibition



    For airplanes having serial numbers 20003 through 20347 

inclusive: As of the effective date of this AD, no person may 

install on any airplane a hydraulic system accumulator having P/N 

33-147500 or P/N 33-155500, on which the letter ``E'' or ``NAE'' is 

not after the serial number on the identification plate.



(l) New Requirement of This AD: Modification of the Inboard and 

Outboard Brake Accumulators



    For airplanes having serial numbers 20003 through 20395 

inclusive: Within 1,600 flight hours or 14 months after the
