Abstract
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-06- 14, which applied to certain British Aerospace Model BAe 146 and Model Avro 146-RJ series airplanes. AD 2005-06-14 required repetitive inspections for cracking of the outer links on the main landing gear (MLG) side stays, and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2005-06-14 also provided an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. Since the FAA issued AD 2005-06-14, there has been a report of additional cracking on a MLG side stay on which the terminating action has been done. This AD continues to require the actions specified in AD 2005-06-14 and requires new repetitive inspections for cracking of the MLG side stay outer link and replacement if necessary as specified in a United Kingdom (U.K.) Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) (U.K. CAA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-06-
14, which applied to certain British Aerospace Model BAe 146 and Model
Avro 146-RJ series airplanes. AD 2005-06-14 required repetitive
inspections for cracking of the outer links on the main landing gear
(MLG) side stays, and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2005-06-14
also provided an optional terminating action for the repetitive
inspections. Since the FAA issued AD 2005-06-14, there has been a
report of additional cracking on a MLG side stay on which the
terminating action has been done. This AD continues to require the
actions specified in AD 2005-06-14 and requires new repetitive
inspections for cracking of the MLG side stay outer link and
replacement if necessary as specified in a United Kingdom (U.K.) Civil
Aviation Authority (CAA) (U.K. CAA) AD, which is incorporated by
reference. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts
under certain conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective December 27, 2022.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

Background
The FAA issued AD 2005-06-14, Amendment 39-14024 (70 FR 15574,
March 28, 2005; corrected April 14, 2005 (70 FR 19681)) (AD 2005-06-
14), for certain British Aerospace Model BAe 146 and Model Avro 146-RJ
series airplanes. AD 2005-06-14 was prompted by an MCAI originated by
the
[[Page 75916]]
Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which is the aviation authority for the
United Kingdom (U.K.) (U.K. CAA). U.K. CAA issued U.K. CAA AD 004-05-
2001 to correct an unsafe condition.
AD 2005-06-14 required repetitive inspections for cracking of the
outer links on the MLG side stays, and corrective actions if necessary.
AD 2005-06-14 provided an optional terminating action for the
repetitive inspections. The FAA issued AD 2005-06-14 to prevent
cracking of the outer links of the MLG side stays, which could result
in failure of a side stay and consequent collapse of the landing gear.
Actions Since AD 2005-06-14 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2005-06-14, U.K. CAA superseded U.K. CAA AD
004-05-2001, dated May 1, 2001 (U.K. CAA AD 004-05-2001), and issued
U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018, dated October 18, 2022 (U.K. CAA AD G-2022-
0018) (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition on all BAe 146-301, BAe 146, and AVRO 146-RJ airplanes. Model
BAe 146-301 airplanes are not certificated by the FAA and are not
included on the U.S. type certificate data sheet; this AD therefore
does not include those airplanes in the applicability. The MCAI states
that since U.K. CAA AD 004-05-2001 was issued, there has been a report
of additional cracking on a MLG side stay on which the terminating
action has been done.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracking on the shoulders of
a MLG side stay outer link. The unsafe condition, if not addressed,
could lead to failure of the side stay outer link and MLG collapse,
which could result in a runway departure and could result in the engine
or wing contacting the ground. The engine or wing contacting the ground
could result in damage to the airplane, an increased risk of fire, the
airplane flipping, and injury to occupants. You may examine the MCAI in
the AD docket at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2022-1574.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018 specifies procedures for doing repetitive
detailed inspections for cracking of the MLG side stay outer link and
replacement if necessary.
The FAA reviewed BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Alert Service
Bulletin ASB.32-A189, dated September 16, 2022. This service
information identifies the affected parts as MLG side stay outer links
having Safran Landing Systems part numbers 200884304, 200884305,
200884346, 200884347, 201105300, 201105301, 201105308, 201105309,
201299300, 201299301, 201299305, or 201299306, and describes procedures
for doing, among other actions, repetitive detailed inspections for
cracking of MLG side stay outer links and replacement if necessary.
The FAA also reviewed Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin 146-32-147,
dated May 29, 2001, which identifies the affected MLG side stay outer
links for AD 2005-06-14.
This AD also requires BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Inspection
Service Bulletin ISB.32-156, Revision 1, dated July 3, 2001, which the
Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by
reference as of May 2, 2005 (70 FR 15574, March 28, 2005; corrected
April 14, 2005 (70 FR 19681)).
This material 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
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information described above. The FAA is issuing this AD after
determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to
exist or develop on other products of the same type design.
Requirements of This AD
This AD continues to require the actions specified in AD 2005-06-14
and requires accomplishing the actions specified in U.K. CAA AD G-2022-
0018 described previously, except for any differences identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD and except as discussed
under ``Differences Between this AD and the MCAI.'' This AD also
prohibits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions.
Accomplishing the new inspections specified in U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018
terminates the retained inspections required by AD 2005-06-14.
Explanation of Required Compliance Information
In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. As a result, U.K. CAA AD
G-2022-0018 is incorporated by reference in this AD. This AD requires
compliance with U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018 in its entirety through that
incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in
the regulatory text of this AD.
Differences Between This AD and the MCAI
The applicability of U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018 includes all BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146-100A, -200A, and -300A
airplanes and Model Avro 146-RJ-RJ70A, 146-RJ85A, and 146-RJ100A
airplanes. However, the applicability of this AD is limited to BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146-100A, -200A, and -300A
airplanes and Model Avro 146-RJ-RJ70A, 146-RJ85A, and 146-RJ100A
airplanes with MLG side stay outer links having Safran Landing Systems
part number 200884304, 200884305, 200884346, 200884347, 201105300,
201105301, 201105308, 201105309, 201299300, 201299301, 201299305, or
201299306, as specified in BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Alert
Service Bulletin ASB.32-A189, dated September 16, 2022, because the
unsafe condition only applies to those MLG side stay outer links.
Interim Action
The FAA considers that this AD is an interim action. If final
action is later identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking
then.
FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date
Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies foregoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because of possible MLG collapse, which could result in a runway
departure, and could result in the
[[Page 75917]]
engine or wing contacting the ground. The engine or wing contacting the
ground could result in damage to the airplane, an increased risk of
fire, the airplane flipping, and injury to occupants. Accordingly,
notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable and
contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days,
for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forgo notice and
comment.
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 15 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retained actions from AD 2005-06-14... 1 work-hour x $85 per $0 $85 $1,275
hour = $85.
New actions........................... 1 work-hour x $85 per 0 85 1,275
hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
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
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, and
(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

with main landing gear (MLG) side stay outer links having Safran
Landing Systems part number 200884304, 200884305, 200884346,
200884347, 201105300, 201105301, 201105308, 201105309, 201299300,
201299301, 201299305, or 201299306.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32, Landing
gear.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracking on the shoulders of
a main landing gear (MLG) side stay outer link. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address cracking of the MLG side stay outer link. The
unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to failure of the
side stay outer link and MLG collapse, which could result in a
runway departure, and could result in the engine or wing contacting
the ground. The engine or wing contacting the ground could result in
damage to the airplane, an increased risk of fire, the airplane
flipping, and injury to occupants.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Retained Inspections, With New Terminating Action
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (f) of AD
2005-06-14, with new terminating action. For airplanes having any
side stay identified in Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin 146-32-147,
dated May 29, 2001: At the applicable time specified in paragraph
(g)(1) or (2) of this AD, perform a detailed inspection for cracks
of the outer links on the MLG side stays, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
Inspection Service Bulletin ISB.32-156, Revision 1, dated July 3,
2001. Repair cracks before further flight in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
Inspection Service Bulletin ISB.32-156, Revision 1, dated July 3,
2001. Thereafter, repeat the inspection at intervals not to exceed
2,000 flight cycles, until the actions specified in paragraph (h) of
this AD have been done or
[[Page 75918]]
the initial inspection required by paragraph (i) of this AD has been
done. Although BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Inspection Service
Bulletin ISB.32-156, Revision 1, dated July 3, 2001, specifies to
report certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not
require a report.
(1) If the number of flight cycles accumulated on the side stay
can be positively determined: Inspect before the accumulation of
2,000 total flight cycles on the side stay, or within 500 flight
cycles after May 2, 2005 (the effective date of AD 2005-06-14),
whichever occurs later.
(2) If the number of flight cycles accumulated on the side stay
cannot be positively determined: Inspect within 500 flight cycles
after May 2, 2005 (the effective date of AD 2005-06-14).
(h) Retained Optional Terminating Action for Paragraph (g) of This AD,
With No Changes
This paragraph restates the optional terminating action of
paragraph (g) of AD 2005-06-14, with no changes. Relocation of each
affected grease nipple to the upper surface of the outer link of the
MLG side stays terminates the repetitive inspections required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, if the relocation action is done in
accordance with paragraph 2.C. of the Accomplishment Instructions of
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Inspection Service Bulletin ISB.32-
156, Revision 1, dated July 3, 2001.
(i) New Requirements
Except as specified in paragraph (j) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority AD G-2022-
0018, dated October 18, 2022 (U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018).
(j) Exceptions to U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018
(1) Where U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018 refers to its effective date,
this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) The ``Remarks'' section of U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018 does not
apply to this AD.
(3) Where paragraph (2) of U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018 refers to
``discrepancies (i.e. cracks or other adverse findings),'' replace
the text ``discrepancies (i.e. cracks or other adverse findings),''
with ``any cracking.''
(4) Where U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0018 refers to ASB.32-A189, this AD
requires using BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Alert Service
Bulletin ASB.32-A189, dated September 16, 2022.
(k) No Reporting Requirement
Although BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Alert Service Bulletin
ASB.32-A189, dated September 16, 2022, specifies to submit certain
