Background
The FAA issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that
would apply to all Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10
and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on March 7, 2024 (89 FR 16486). The NPRM was prompted by AD CF-2023-59,
dated July 26, 2023 (Transport Canada AD CF-2023-59), issued by
Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. Transport
Canada AD CF-2023-59 states that there have been multiple in-service
failures of engine feed check valves, which have resulted in fuel
imbalance conditions in flight. An investigation found that the engine
feed check valve is subject to abnormal wear-out failures due to a
severe operating environment in the engine fuel feed line. In the event
of a failure of the check valve, flapper valve assembly items can
become dislodged and contaminate the fuel system, potentially
[[Page 14344]]
resulting in severe fuel imbalance or loss of fuel flow to the engine.
In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require repetitive replacement of
the left- and right-side engine feed check valves with new engine feed
check valves.
Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued
Since the FAA issued the NPRM, Transport Canada superseded
Transport Canada AD CF-2023-59, dated July 26, 2023, and issued
Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20, dated June 5, 2024 (Transport Canada AD
CF-2024-20) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10
and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states that since issuance of
Transport Canada AD CF-2023-59, the manufacturer determined that
dispatching with either the left or right fuel alternating current (AC)
boost pump inoperative can further exacerbate the risk of severe fuel
imbalance, potentially leading to loss of fuel flow to both engines.
The manufacturer issued Flight Operations Transmission (FOT) A220-FOT-
28-00-001 to raise awareness of this issue and recommend certain
dispatch restrictions. The MCAI retains the requirements of Transport
Canada AD CF-2023-59, which is superseded, and prohibits dispatch with
either the left or right fuel AC boost pump inoperative.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address failure of the check valve.
The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in severe fuel
imbalance or loss of fuel flow to one or both engines.
You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under
Docket No. FAA-2024-0454.
Comments
The FAA received a comment from Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) who supported the NPRM without change.
The FAA received additional comments from Delta Air Lines (Delta).
The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's
response to each comment.
Request for Revised Reference to MCAI
Delta requested that the proposed AD be revised to reference
Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20 instead of Transport Canada AD CF-2023-
59. Delta pointed out that Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20 adds a
prohibition on dispatch of an airplane with either the left or right
fuel AC boost pump inoperative.
The FAA agrees and has revised paragraph (g) of the proposed AD to
reference Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20 which also adds the
prohibition on dispatch with either the left or right fuel AC boost
pump inoperative to the proposed requirements. The description of the
unsafe condition has also been revised to match the revised unsafe
condition description in Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20.
Request for Permission To Use Later Revisions of Service Information
Delta requested that the FAA state its position on the approval to
use later revisions of Airbus Canada Service Bulletin BD500-282018,
Issue 001, dated May 29, 2023. Delta sated that Transport Canada AD CF-
2023-59 (which was proposed for incorporation by reference in the NPRM)
provides this allowance.
The FAA agrees to clarify. The FAA confirms that it intends to
allow the use of applicable later service bulletins revisions to comply
with the requirements of this proposed AD. This proposed AD refers to
Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20 as the appropriate source of service
information for accomplishing the required actions. Paragraph A. of
Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20 specifies acceptance of the use of
later-approved revisions of the referenced service bulletin document
for compliance. Therefore, applicable later-approved service bulletin
revisions are acceptable.
Request To Clarify Proposed AD's Effect on Compliance With AD 2023-16-
02
Delta requested that the FAA clarify the relationship between the
proposed AD and AD 2023-16-02, Amendment 39-22521 (88 FR 56459, August
18, 2023) (AD 2023-16-02). Delta noted that AD 2023-16-02 includes a
repetitive inspection, at intervals not to exceed 3,000 flight hours,
of the fuel feed system at ribs 5 and 6. That inspection, depending on
findings on the tee assembly, could lead to an on-condition inspection
of the engine isolation feed ejector check valve P/N 2090199-101 at two
locations per wing and replacement if any damage is discovered on those
valves. Delta compared that requirement to the proposed AD's proposed
requirement of repetitive replacement of one engine isolation feed
ejector check valve within 4,000 flight cycles and thereafter at
intervals not to exceed 3,000 flight cycles, and suggested that the
repetitive replacement be used in lieu of the on-condition replacement
required by AD 2023-16-02.
The FAA agrees. Replacement of an engine isolation feed ejector
check valve, P/N 2090199-101, under certain conditions, would be an
equivalent level of safety for the on-condition inspection of that
valve required by AD 2023-16-02. The FAA has revised paragraph (b) of
this proposed AD to indicate the connection between this SNPRM and AD
2023-16-02, and added a new paragraph (i) to this proposed AD to
specify the conditions for terminating action.
Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51
Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20 specifies procedures for repetitive
replacement of the left- and right-side engine feed check valves with
new engine feed check valves and prohibits dispatch with either the
left or right fuel AC boost pump inoperative. 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 SNPRM after determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type design.
Certain changes described above expand the scope of the NPRM. As a
result, it is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide
additional opportunity for the public to comment on this SNPRM.
Proposed AD Requirements in This SNPRM
This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20 described previously, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD.
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
[[Page 14345]]
incorporate Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
Transport Canada AD CF-2024-20 in its entirety through that
incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in
the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Material required by Transport
Canada AD CF-2024-20 for compliance will be available at
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2024-0454 after the FAA final rule
is published.
Interim Action
The FAA considers that this proposed AD would be an interim action.
If final action is identified, the FAA might consider further
rulemaking then.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 91 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:
Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 work-hours x $85 per hour = $765 $2,830 per replacement $3,595 per replacement $327,145 per
per replacement cycle. cycle. cycle. replacement cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected operators.
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.
