Abstract

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-26- 13, which applied to certain Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) Model S-92A helicopters. AD 2020-26-13 required establishing the life limit for certain part-numbered horizontal stabilizer root fittings FWD (forward root fittings) and certain part-numbered stabilizer strut fittings. AD 2020-26-13 also required repetitively inspecting certain parts, and depending on the inspection results, removing parts from service. Finally AD 2020-26-13 prohibited installing certain stabilizer assemblies on any helicopter. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-26-13, the manufacturer notified the FAA that due to an error in the service information, certain part numbers in AD 2020-26-13 are incorrect. Also, the FAA determined that additional inspections are required to address the unsafe condition. This AD retains certain requirements and the prohibition for installing certain stabilizer assemblies on any helicopter from AD 2020-26-13, corrects certain part numbers, and requires additional repetitive inspections. The actions of this AD are intended to address an unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation 
Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-26-
13, which applied to certain Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) 
Model S-92A helicopters. AD 2020-26-13 required establishing the life 
limit for certain part-numbered horizontal stabilizer root fittings FWD 
(forward root fittings) and certain part-numbered stabilizer strut 
fittings. AD 2020-26-13 also required repetitively inspecting certain 
parts, and depending on the inspection results, removing parts from 
service. Finally AD 2020-26-13 prohibited installing certain stabilizer 
assemblies on any helicopter. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-26-13, the 
manufacturer notified the FAA that due to an error in the service 
information, certain part numbers in AD 2020-26-13 are incorrect. Also, 
the FAA determined that additional inspections are required to address 
the unsafe condition. This AD retains certain requirements and the 
prohibition for installing certain stabilizer assemblies on any 
helicopter from AD 2020-26-13, corrects certain part numbers, and 
requires additional repetitive inspections. The actions of this AD are 
intended to address an unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective June 27, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2020-26-13, Amendment 39-21368 (85 FR 
84201, December 28, 2020) (AD 2020-26-13). AD 2020-26-13 applied to 
Sikorsky Model S-92A helicopters with forward root fitting part number 
(P/N) 92209-07111-101 or 92070-20125-101; or stabilizer strut fitting 
P/N 92209-07404-041, 92209-07403-041, or 92070-20117-041 installed on 
horizontal stabilizer assembly (stabilizer assembly) P/N 92070-20117-
045, 92070-20117-046, 92070-20125-041, 92070-20125-042, 92070-20125-
043, 92070-20125-044, 92205-07400-043, or 92205-07400-045. The NPRM 
published in the Federal Register on February 23, 2022 (87 FR 10115). 
The NPRM was prompted by the discovery that incorrect P/Ns were 
identified in the Applicability and the Required Actions paragraphs of 
AD 2020-26-13. Additionally, after the FAA issued AD 2020-26-13, 
Sikorsky notified the FAA that an additional repetitive inspection of 
certain parts of the stabilizer strut assembly is required to prevent 
the unsafe condition. Finally, after the FAA issued AD 2020-26-13, 
Sikorsky requested and the FAA approved a global Alternative Method of 
Compliance (AMOC) to allow only removing parts from service that are 
cracked, corroded, or have fretting, deformation, or wear rather than 
require removing the upper and lower support strut rod ends, including 
lug and conical fitting and both upper and lower attachment fittings on 
the stabilizer from service.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to expand the applicability of AD 
2020-26-13 by adding an additional part-numbered stabilizer assembly. 
The NPRM also proposed to correct paragraph (g)(4) of the Required 
Actions so that the installation of the titanium stabilizer strut 
fitting is terminating action for the 50-hour time-in-service (TIS) 
inspections of the aluminum stabilizer strut fitting. The NPRM also 
proposed to require an additional repetitive inspection of certain 
parts of the stabilizer strut assembly. Finally, the NPRM proposed to 
incorporate the FAA approved global AMOC.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received a comments from Sikorsky stating that in the 
section titled ``Actions Since AD 2020-26-13 Was Issued'' of the NPRM, 
the part number specified (92070-20117-04) is incorrect and should be 
92070-20117-041. The FAA acknowledges this comment; however, the part 
number is not used in the ``Background'' section of this final rule. In 
light of this, the commenter's request no longer applies.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments 
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting the AD as 
proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe 
condition on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, and 
any other changes described previously, this AD is adopted as proposed 
in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on 
any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    This AD continues to require S-92 Maintenance Manual, SA S92A-AMM-
000, Temporary Revision (TR) 55-33, dated March 24, 2020 (TR 55-33), 
which the Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation 
by reference as of February 1, 2021 (85 FR 84201, December 28, 2020).
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed S-92 Maintenance Manual SA S92A-AWL-000, TR No. 4-
58, dated October 2, 2017 (TR 4-58), and S-92 Maintenance Manual SA 
S92A-AWL-000, TR No. 4-66 dated November 20, 2019 (TR 4-66). This 
service information revises Task 4-00-00-200-000, Table 1 Replacement 
Schedule, dated November 30, 2015. Both TR 4-58 and 4-66 revise the 
Airworthiness Limitations Schedule by removing certain part-numbered 
components, introducing new part-numbered components, and establishing 
replacement intervals and recurring inspections for the forward root 
fitting and the horizontal stabilizer strut fitting. TR 4-58 also 
specifies inspecting the horizontal stabilizer and attaching hardware 
at a recurring interval of 250 hours TIS.

Differences Between This AD and the Service Information

    The service information requires returning affected parts to a 
Sikorsky specialist; this AD does not.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 82 helicopters of U.S. 
registry. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on 
these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with 
this AD.
    Visually inspecting the stabilizer assembly and attached hardware 
takes about 3 work-hours for an estimated cost of $255 per helicopter 
and $20,910 for the U.S. fleet per inspection cycle.
    If required, replacing a hat bushing and both upper fittings and 
lower fittings takes about 1 work-hour and parts cost about $10,000 for 
an estimated cost of $10,085 per replacement.

[[Page 31127]]

    If required, replacing the upper and lower support strut rod ends, 
including lug and conical fitting, takes about 1 work-hour and parts 
cost about $10,000 for an estimated cost of $10,085 per replacement.
    If required, replacing Mylar washers takes about 0.5 work-hour and 
parts cost about $76 for an estimated cost of $119 per replacement.
    If required, performing a fluorescent penetrant inspection takes 
about 3 work-hours for an estimated cost of $255 per inspection.
    If required, replacing a stabilizer assembly takes about 6 work-
hours and parts cost about $312,000 for an estimated cost of $312,510 
per replacement.
    If required, replacing a forward root fitting takes about 10 work-
hours and parts cost about $25,000 for an estimated cost of $25,850 per 
replacement.
    If required, replacing a stabilizer strut fitting takes about 10 
work-hours and parts cost about $10,000 for an estimated cost of 
$10,850 per replacement.
    If required, replacing a forward root fitting and an aft attachment 
fitting takes about 20 work-hours and parts cost about $50,000 for an 
estimated cost of $51,700 per replacement.
    If required, removing wear or corrosion and applying corrosion 
preventative compound takes about 0.5 work-hour and parts cost a 
nominal amount for an estimated cost of $43 per action.
    If required, replacing a stabilizer attachment bolt and barrel nut 
set takes about 1 work-hour and parts cost about $500 for an estimated 
cost of $585 per replacement.
    If required, replacing a fastener takes about 0.1 work-hour and 
parts cost a nominal amount for an estimated cost of $9 per fastener.
    If required, removing the abrasion-resistant Teflon coating to 
inspect each forward and aft attachment fitting mating surface takes 
about 5 work-hours for an estimated cost of $425 per inspection.
    If required, applying alodine or equivalent and applying abrasion-
resistant Teflon coating takes about 5 work hours with minimal parts 
cost for an estimated cost of $425 per application.
    According to Sikorsky, some of the costs of this AD may be covered 
under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected 
individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for affected 
individuals. As a result, the FAA has included all costs in this 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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA has 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.
