Background
Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued Transport Canada AD CF-2023-65, dated October 3, 2023 (Transport
Canada AD CF-2023-65) (also referred to after this as the MCAI), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-
1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations have been developed.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations. Failure to adhere to the specified
airworthiness limitations could adversely affect the stability and
controllability of the airplane on landing and could result in damage
to the airplane. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2025-0016.
Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed the following Bombardier documents:
<bullet> Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of Bombardier
Global Express Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC), Publication No.
BD-700 TLMC, Revision 35, dated December 19, 2023. (For obtaining this
part of Bombardier Global Express TLMC, Publication No. BD-700 TLMC,
use Document Identification No. GL 700 TLMC.)
<bullet> Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of Bombardier
Global Express XRS TLMC, Publication No. BD-700 XRS TLMC, Revision 22,
dated December 19, 2023. (For obtaining this part of Bombardier Global
Express XRS TLMC, Publication No. BD-700 XRS TLMC, use Document
Identification No. GL XRS TLMC.)
<bullet> Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of Bombardier
Global 6000 TLMC, Publication No. GL 6000 TLMC, Revision 16, dated
December 19, 2023.
<bullet> Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of Bombardier
Global 6500 TLMC, Publication No. GL 6500 TLMC, Revision 5, dated
December 19, 2023.
<bullet> Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of Bombardier
Global 5000 TLMC, Publication No. BD-700 TLMC, Revision 26, dated
December 19, 2023. (For obtaining this part of Bombardier Global 5000
TLMC, Publication No. BD-700 TLMC, use Document Identification No. GL
5000 TLMC.)
<bullet> Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of Bombardier
Global 5500 TLMC, Publication No. GL 5500 TLMC, Revision 5, dated
December 19, 2023.
<bullet> Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of Bombardier
Global 5000 TLMC, Publication No. GL 5000 GVFD TLMC, Revision 16, dated
December 19, 2023.
This material specifies new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations for safe life limits (for certain main landing gear and
nose landing gear components) and certification maintenance
requirements (for the shock strut axle and service door, pitch trim
actuator, and nose landing gear shock-strut assembly to retraction-
actuator main-fitting joint). These documents are distinct since they
apply to different airplane models in different configurations. 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, the
FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
material referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the FAA
evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.
Proposed Requirements of This NPRM
This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations.
This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(j)(1) of this proposed AD.
Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI
Although the applicability of Transport Canada AD CF-2023-65
includes Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 airplane having serial
number 9001, that airplane is not included on the U.S. type certificate
data sheet. Therefore, the applicability of this proposed AD does not
include that airplane.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 484 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:
The FAA has determined that revising the maintenance or inspection
program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although the
agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator.
Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes
for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-operator
estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. Therefore, the
agency estimates the average total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90
work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
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
[[Page 8917]]
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.
