Abstract

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-25-05, which applies to certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2022-25-05 requires repetitive cleaning and greasing of all slat tracks to prevent damage or corrosion; doing repetitive inspections of the slat tracks for any damage or corrosion, and the correct application of grease; and applicable corrective actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-25-05, it has been discovered that previous slat track repairs required the use of inappropriate non-destructive test (NDT) methods and, therefore, may have allowed cracks to remain undetected on slat tracks that were previously repaired. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2022-25-05 and would require a rework NDT inspection on all slat tracks previously repaired using an inappropriate NDT method. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type 
Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership 
(CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 
2022-25-05, which applies to certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership 
Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2022-25-05 requires 
repetitive cleaning and greasing of all slat tracks to prevent damage 
or corrosion; doing repetitive inspections of the slat tracks for any 
damage or corrosion, and the correct application of grease; and 
applicable corrective actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-25-05, it 
has been discovered that previous slat track repairs required the use 
of inappropriate non-destructive test (NDT) methods and, therefore, may 
have allowed cracks to remain undetected on slat tracks that were 
previously repaired. This proposed AD would continue to require the 
actions in AD 2022-25-05 and would require a rework NDT inspection on 
all slat tracks previously repaired using an inappropriate NDT method. 
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 June 26, 
2026.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2022-25-05, Amendment 39-22261 (87 FR 77487, 
December 19, 2022) (AD 2022-25-05),

[[Page 25810]]

for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-
500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2022-25-05 was prompted by an MCAI originated by 
Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. Transport 
Canada issued AD CF-2021-43, dated November 29, 2021 (Transport Canada 
AD CF-2021-43), to correct an unsafe condition.
    AD 2022-25-05 requires repetitive cleaning and greasing of all slat 
tracks to prevent damage or corrosion; doing repetitive inspections of 
the slat tracks for any damage or corrosion, and the correct 
application of grease; and applicable corrective actions. The FAA 
issued AD 2022-25-05 to address corrosion and wear on the slat tracks, 
which could lead to loss of one or more slat panels or loss of slat 
track guidance and, consequently, cause catastrophic structural damage 
to the wings or other parts of the airplane due to slat panels 
departing from the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2022-25-05 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2022-25-05, Transport Canada superseded 
Transport Canada AD CF-2021-43 and issued Transport Canada AD CF-2024-
26, dated July 17, 2024 (Transport Canada AD CF-2024-26), and then 
superseded Transport Canada AD CF-2024-26 and issued Transport Canada 
AD CF-2025-61, dated November 24, 2025 (Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61) 
(also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for 
certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-
1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states that since Transport Canada AD CF-2021-
43 was issued, it has been discovered that previous slat track repairs 
required the use of inappropriate NDT methods and, therefore, may have 
allowed cracks to remain undetected on slat tracks that were previously 
repaired. The MCAI states that reports have been received that the 
accomplishment instructions in the referenced service bulletin are 
ambiguous and that access constraints prevent the accomplishment of the 
service bulletin without the removal of all slat tracks from the 
airplane. The MCAI also states that since AD CF-2021-43 was issued, the 
manufacturer has revised the service information to specify procedures 
for a rework NDT inspection on all slat tracks that were previously 
repaired using an inappropriate NDT method, clarify the accomplishment 
instructions, and limit the repeat inspection and greasing of all slat 
tracks to visible portions of the slat tracks only.
    Since Transport Canada AD CF-2024-26 was issued, Transport Canada 
has determined that the compliance times in Transport Canada AD CF-
2024-26 need to be updated. The MCAI maintains the requirements of 
Transport Canada AD CF-2024-26 and updates the compliance times to 
consider airplanes in storage or airplanes operated under the low 
utilization maintenance program.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on 
these products.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under 
Docket No. FAA-2026-4634.

Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61, which specifies 
procedures for repetitive cleaning and greasing of all slat tracks, 
including the slat track rollers, the slat pinion gear bearings, and 
the slat pinion gears to prevent damage (e.g., Reametal wear) and 
corrosion; repetitive general visual inspections (GVIs) of the slat 
tracks for any damage or corrosion, and correct application of grease; 
and applicable on-condition actions. On-condition actions include 
reworking and treating the area with either phosphate pre-treatment or 
silane pre-treatment if damage consists of abrasion, scratches, 
corrosion, or nicks, and performing a magnetic particle inspection 
(MPI) or high-frequency eddy current (HFEC) on the repair area of the 
slat track. Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61 also specifies procedures 
for an alternative method of compliance for the inspections.
    The FAA also reviewed Spirit AeroSystems Service Bulletin 500SHW-
57-4201, Issue No. 003, dated June 17, 2025, which specifies procedures 
for cleaning, inspecting, and greasing of slat tracks and applicable 
on-condition repairs.
    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

    These products have been approved by the civil aviation authority 
of another country and are approved for operation in the United States. 
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design 
Authority, that authority 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 require accomplishing the actions specified 
in Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61 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 incorporate Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61 by reference 
in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require 
compliance with Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61 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-2025-61 for compliance will be available at 
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2026-4634 after the FAA final rule 
is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would 
affect 161 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following 
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                                 Cost on U.S.
              Action                    Labor cost        Parts cost      Cost per product        operators

                                    hour = $20,570.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any 
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of 
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:

                Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions *
------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Labor cost                Parts cost      Cost per product
------------------------------------------------------------------------

 per slat track.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* This table does not include on-condition repair costs.

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost 
estimates for the on-condition repairs specified in this proposed AD.
    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 operators. The FAA does not control warranty 
coverage for affected operators. 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the 
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.


Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by:
0
a. Removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-25-05, Amendment 39-22261 
(87 FR 77487, December 19, 2022); and
0
b. Adding the following new AD:

Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held 
by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.): 
Docket No. FAA-2026-4634; Project Identifier MCAI-2024-00508-T.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive 
(AD) by June 26, 2026.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2022-25-05, Amendment 39-22261 (87 FR 77487, 
December 19, 2022) (AD 2022-25-05).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type 
Certificate previously held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership 
(CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 
airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Transport 
Canada AD CF-2025-61, dated November 24, 2025 (Transport Canada AD 
CF-2025-61).

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57, Wings.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a report that corrosion and wear were 
discovered on the slat tracks due to insufficient grease applied to 
the slat tracks during production, and the discovery that previous 
slat track repairs required the use of inappropriate non-destructive 
test (NDT) methods and, therefore, may have allowed cracks to remain 
undetected on slat tracks that were previously repaired. The FAA is 
issuing this AD to address corrosion and wear on the slat tracks, 
which could lead to loss of one or more slat panels or loss of slat 
track guidance. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result 
in catastrophic structural damage to the wings or other parts of the 
airplane due to slat panels departing from the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 
unless already done.

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD: Comply 
with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in 
accordance with, Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61.

[[Page 25812]]

(h) Exception to Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61

    (1) Where Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61 refers to its effective 
date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    (2) Where Transport Canada CF-2025-61 specifies accomplishing 
actions in accordance with ``the VSB,'' this AD requires using 
Spirit AeroSystems Service Bulletin 500SHW-57-4201, Issue No. 003, 
dated June 17, 2025.
    (3) Where Transport Canada CF-2025-61 refers to hours air time, 
this AD requires using flight hours.
    (4) Where Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61 defines Group B as 
airplanes with ``more than 2550 total hour air time'', this AD 
requires replacing that text with ``equal to or more than 2,550 
total flight hours''.
    (5) Where Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61 specifies to accomplish 
certain actions using both the ``applicable SB'' and ``the VSB'' as 
defined in Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61, this AD requires using 
only ``the VSB''.
    (6) Where Transport Canada AD CF-2025-61 specifies accomplishing 
certain actions using ``the VSB'', for this AD replace the text 
``Part A of the VSB'' with ``section 2., Procedure, of Part A of the 
VSB'' and replace the text ``Part B of the VSB'' with ``section 2., 
Procedure, of Part B of the VSB''.

(i) No Reporting Requirement

    Although the material referenced in Transport Canada AD CF-2025-
61 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this 
AD does not include that requirement.

(j) Additional AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, AIR-
520, Continued Operational Safety Branch, FAA, has the authority to
