Abstract
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-07-15, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2022-07-15 requires replacing affected braking and steering control units (BSCUs) and revising the operator's existing FAA-approved minimum equipment list (MEL). Since the FAA issued AD 2022-07-15, a type 1 relay combined with an affected BSCU would induce BSCU freezing. This proposed AD would remove certain airplanes from the applicability, retain the requirements of AD 2022- 07-15, require an inspection for the relay type installed and replacement of type 1 relays with type 2 relays, and prohibit the installation of affected relays at certain locations, limit the installation of affected BSCUs on certain airplanes, and prohibit the installation of affected BSCUs for certain other airplanes, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2022-07-15, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and
A321 series airplanes. AD 2022-07-15 requires replacing affected
braking and steering control units (BSCUs) and revising the operator's
existing FAA-approved minimum equipment list (MEL). Since the FAA
issued AD 2022-07-15, a type 1 relay combined with an affected BSCU
would induce BSCU freezing. This proposed AD would remove certain
airplanes from the applicability, retain the requirements of AD 2022-
07-15, require an inspection for the relay type installed and
replacement of type 1 relays with type 2 relays, and prohibit the
installation of affected relays at certain locations, limit the
installation of affected BSCUs on certain airplanes, and prohibit the
installation of affected BSCUs for certain other airplanes, as
specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which
is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by November
13, 2023.

Background
The FAA issued AD 2022-07-15, Amendment 39-22003 (87 FR 22438,
April 15, 2022), for all Airbus SAS Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -
122 airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -
133, -151N, -153N, and -171N airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -
216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -273N
airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -
232, -251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, -271N, -271NX, -272N,
and -272NX airplanes. AD 2022-07-15 was prompted by an MCAI originated
by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union. EASA issued AD 2022-0032, dated March 3, 2022 (EASA AD
2022-0032), to correct an unsafe condition.
AD 2022-07-15 requires replacing affected BSCUs and revising the
operator's existing FAA-approved MEL. The FAA issued AD 2022-07-15 to
address loss of braking performance with significant increase in
airplane stopping distance, possibly resulting in runway excursion.
Actions Since AD 2022-07-15 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2022-07-15, EASA superseded AD 2022-0032
and issued EASA AD 2023-0093, dated May 5, 2023, which was subsequently
[[Page 66308]]
revised. EASA AD 2023-0093R1, dated May 15, 2023 (EASA AD 2022-0093R1)
(also referred to as the MCAI), retains the requirements of EASA AD
2023-0032 and requires replacement of type 1 relays with type 2 relays.
The MCAI noted that BSCU channel failures could induce, in the
event of dual channel failures, loss of anti-skid function together
with the reversion to the alternate braking mode, and loss of nose
wheel steering, and lead to loss of braking performance with
significant increase in airplane stopping distance, possibly resulting
in runway excursion.
The MCAI states that further investigation identified a type 1
relay installed in a position where a type 2 relay should have been
installed. The combination of a type 1 relay with an affected BSCU
could induce BSCU freezing. EASA therefore determined that it is
necessary to replace type 1 relays with type 2 relays.
The MCAI also states that type 1 relays are no longer installed on
Model A320 Current Engine Option (CEO) airplanes (i.e., Model A318
series airplanes; A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -
133 airplanes; A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233
airplanes; and A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232
airplanes). Type 1 relays were required to be replaced on Model A320
CEO airplanes by AD 96-04-06, Amendment 39-9518 (61 FR 6927, February
23, 1996). AD 96-04-06 corresponded to DGAC France AD F-1993-163-043,
dated September 29, 1993. Model A320 CEO airplanes are therefore not
included in the applicability of this proposed AD.
Further, EASA stated that some relays installed at functional item
number (FIN) locations 24GG and 25GG were not in conformity with the
Airplane Inspection Report on certain airplanes.
In addition, it was determined that certain airplanes have been
delivered with a BSCU P/N E21327107.
Explanation of Retained Requirements
Although this proposed AD does not explicitly restate the
requirements of AD 2022-07-15, this proposed AD would retain all the
requirements of AD 2022-07-15. Those requirements are referenced in
EASA AD 2023-0093R1, which, in turn, is referenced in paragraph (g) of
this proposed AD.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2023-0093R1 specifies procedures for replacing affected
BSCUs if a fault signature is triggered, and implementing the
instructions of master minimum equipment list (MMEL) updates on the
basis of which the operator's existing MEL must be amended-that is,
procedures for revising the operator's existing FAA-approved MEL with
the provisions in the MMEL updates specified in the EASA AD. EASA AD
2023-0093R1 also specifies procedures for a general visual inspection
of the FINs 24GG and 25GG to identify the relay type installed, and
replacement of each type 1 relay with a type 2 relay. EASA AD 2023-
0093R1 also limits the installation of affected parts.
Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A32N025-22, Rev 01, dated May
10, 2023, including Appendixes 1 through 3, dated May 2023, defines
BSCU fault signatures that may be triggered on the airplane, and
specifies procedures for replacing affected parts, among other actions.
This proposed AD would also require Airbus Alert Operators
Transmission A32N025-22, Rev 00, dated February 24, 2022, including
Appendixes 1 through 4, dated February 21, 2022, which the Director of
the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of May
2, 2022 (87 FR 22438, April 15, 2022).
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
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type design.
Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM
This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2022-07-15.
This proposed AD would remove airplanes from the applicability and
require accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD 2023-0093R1
described previously, except for any differences identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Compliance With MEL Revisions
EASA AD 2023-0093R1 requires operators to ``inform all flight
crews'' of revisions to the MEL, and thereafter to ``operate the
airplane accordingly.'' However, this proposed AD would not
specifically require those actions as those actions are already
required by FAA regulations. FAA regulations (14 CFR 121.628 (a)(2))
require operators to provide pilots with access to all of the
information contained in the operator's MEL. Furthermore, 14 CFR
121.628 (a)(5) requires airplanes to be operated under all applicable
conditions and limitations contained in the operator's MEL. Therefore,
including a requirement in this proposed AD to operate the airplane
according to the revised MEL would be redundant and unnecessary.
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. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2023-0093R1 by reference in this
AD. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD
2023-0093R1 entirety through that incorporation, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a
particular section in EASA AD 2023-0093R1 does not mean that operators
need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2023-
0093R1. Service information required by EASA AD 2023-0093R1 for
compliance will be available at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-
2023-1882 after the FAA final rule is published.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 349 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:
[[Page 66309]]
Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retained actions from AD 2022-07- Up to 5 work-hours $0 Up to $425......... Up to $148,325.
15. x $85 per hour =
$425.
Relay inspection and replacement Up to 9 work-hours 0 Up to 765.......... Up to 266,985.
(new proposed actions). x $85 per hour =
$765.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this
proposed 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 known costs in the 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 determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

272NX airplanes.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32, Landing
Gear; and America Code 92, Electrical System Installation.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by the detection of several channel
failures on the braking and steering control unit (BSCU), inducing,
in case of dual channel failures, loss of anti-skid function
together with the reversion to the alternate braking mode, and loss
of nose wheel steering. This AD was further prompted by the
determination that a type 1 relay combined with an affected BSCU
could induce BSCU freezing. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
these conditions, which could lead to loss of braking performance
with significant increase in airplane stopping distance, possibly
resulting in runway excursion.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Requirements
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 2023-
0093R1, dated May 15, 2023 (EASA AD 2023-0093R1).
(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2023-0093R1
(1) Where EASA AD 2023-0093R1 refers to ``10 March 2022 [the
effective date of EASA AD 2022-0032 at original issue],'' this AD
requires using May 2, 2022 (the effective date of AD 2022-07-15).
(2) Where EASA AD 2023-0093R1 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(3) Where EASA AD 2023-0093R1 defines ``the AOT 1'' as ``Airbus
Alert Operators Transmission (AOT 1) A32N025-22,'' this AD requires
using Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A32N025-22, Rev 00, dated
February 24, 2022, including Appendixes 1 through 4, dated February
21, 2022, or Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A32N025-22, Rev 01,
dated May 10, 2023, including Appendixes 1 through 3, dated May
2023.
(4) Where paragraphs (2) and (3) of EASA AD 2023-0093R1 specify
``in accordance with the instructions of the AOT 1,'' replace those
words with ``in accordance with the `Remove and replace BSCU P/N
E21327307' step in paragraph 5.6., `Instructions,' of Airbus Alert
Operators Transmission A32N025-22, Rev 00, dated February 24, 2022,
including Appendixes 1 through 4, dated February 21, 2022, or of
Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A32N025-22, Rev 01, dated May
10, 2023, including Appendixes 1 through 3, dated May 2023.'' No
other actions in Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A32N030-23, Rev
00, dated February 27, 2023, including Appendixes 1 and 2, dated
February 21, 2023 (referenced in EASA AD 2023-0093R1 and not
incorporated by reference in this AD), or Airbus Alert Operators
Transmission A32N025-22, Rev 01, dated May 10, 2023, including
[[Page 66310]]
Appendixes 1 through 3, dated May 2023, are required for compliance
for the replacement.
(5) Where paragraph (4) of EASA AD 2023-0093R1 requires
operators to ``implement the instructions of the MMEL [master
minimum equipment list] update,'' this AD requires replacing those
words with ``implement the operator's existing FAA-approved minimum
equipment list (MEL) with the provisions specified in `The MMEL
update' as identified in EASA AD 2023-0093R1.''
(6) Where paragraph (4) of EASA AD 2023-0093R1 specifies to
``inform all flight crews, and, thereafter, operate the airplane
accordingly,'' this AD does not require those actions as those
actions are already required by existing FAA operating regulations.
(7) This AD does not adopt the ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD
2023-0093R1.
(i) No Reporting Requirement
Although certain service information specified in EASA AD 2023-
0093R1 specifies to report certain information and send affected
parts to the manufacturer, this AD does not require those actions.
(j) Additional AD Provisions
The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Validation Branch FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your
principal inspector or responsible Flight Standards Office, as
appropriate. If sending information directly to the International
Validation Branch, send it to the attention of the person identified

(i) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the responsible Flight Standards Office.
(ii) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2022-07-15 are approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of EASA AD 2023-0093R1 that
are required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International
Validation Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus SAS's EASA Design
Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval
must include the DOA-authorized signature.
(3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except as required by
paragraph (j)(2) of this AD, 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.
