Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all H[eacute]licopt[egrave]res Guimbal (HG) Model Cabri G2 helicopters. The FAA previously sent this AD as an emergency AD to all known U.S. owners and operators of these helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report that was received of a crack on the main rotor (MR) mast after the crew reported an abnormal increase of vibration. This AD requires inspecting the MR mast for cracks and corrosion pitting, and depending on the results of the inspection, accomplishing corrective actions. This AD also requires modifying the MR mast, which includes applying corrosion protection to the MR mast, reporting the inspection results and prohibiting the installation of a certain main gear box (MGB), unless certain requirements are met. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; H[eacute]licopt[egrave]res Guimbal 
Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 
H[eacute]licopt[egrave]res Guimbal (HG) Model Cabri G2 helicopters. The 
FAA previously sent this AD as an emergency AD to all known U.S. owners 
and operators of these helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report 
that was received of a crack on the main rotor (MR) mast after the crew 
reported an abnormal increase of vibration. This AD requires inspecting 
the MR mast for cracks and corrosion pitting, and depending on the 
results of the inspection, accomplishing corrective actions. This AD 
also requires modifying the MR mast, which includes applying corrosion 
protection to the MR mast, reporting the inspection results and 
prohibiting the installation of a certain main gear box (MGB), unless 
certain requirements are met. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the 
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective June 24, 2026. Emergency AD 2026-10-51, 
issued on May 15, 2026, which contained the requirements of this 
amendment, was effective with actual notice.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications identified in this AD as of June 24, 
2026.

and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public 
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial 
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that 
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to 
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted 
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing 
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as 
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public 
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Soban 
Saeed, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, 
Westbury, NY 11590. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not 
specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for 
this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued Emergency AD 2026-10-51, dated May 15, 2026 (also 
referred to as the emergency AD), to address an unsafe condition on 
H[eacute]licopt[egrave]res Guimbal Model Cabri G2 helicopters. The FAA 
sent the emergency AD to all known U.S. owners and operators of these 
helicopters. The emergency AD requires inspecting the MR mast for 
cracks and corrosion pitting, and depending on the results of the 
inspection, the emergency AD requires accomplishing the corrective 
actions. The emergency AD also requires modifying the MR mast, which 
includes applying corrosion protection to the MR mast and reporting 
inspection results within 14 days after accomplishment of the 
inspection. The emergency AD prohibits installing an MGB having part 
number (P/N) G21-10-000, P/N G21-10-001, P/N G21-10-002, or P/N G21-10-
003, unless certain requirements are met.
    Emergency AD 2026-10-51 was prompted by European Union Aviation 
Safety Agency (EASA) Emergency AD 2026-0095-E, dated May 12, 2026 (also 
referred to as the MCAI), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent 
for

[[Page 34741]]

the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition 
on H[eacute]licopt[egrave]res Guimbal Model Cabri G2 helicopters. The 
MCAI states a report was received of a crack on the MR mast after the 
crew reported an abnormal increase of vibration.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct any cracks or 
corrosion on the MR mast. This condition, if not detected and 
corrected, could lead to failure of the MR mast, possibly resulting in 
loss of control of the helicopter.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under 
Docket No. FAA-2026-4650.

Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Guimbal Service Bulletin SB 26-009 B, Revision B, 
dated May 13, 2026. This material specifies procedures for disassembly 
of the MR mast, inspection of the MR mast for a crack or corrosion 
pitting, and corrective actions, which include removing affected parts 
from service and contacting HG customer support for further 
instructions.
    The FAA also reviewed Guimbal Service Bulletin SB 18-023 E, 
Revision E, dated May 13, 2026, which specifies procedures for 
inspecting the MR mast for corrosion and applying protective coatings.
    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 and material referenced 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.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in the 
material already described, except as discussed under ``Differences 
Between this AD and the Referenced Material.''

Differences Between This AD and the Referenced Material

    Where the referenced material specifies contacting HG for repair 
instructions or corrective actions, this AD requires using a method 
approved by the FAA, EASA, or H[eacute]licopt[egrave]res Guimbal's EASA 
Design Organization Approval (DOA).

Interim Action

    The FAA considers that this AD is an interim action. If final 
action is later identified, the FAA might consider additional 
rulemaking.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective 
Date

    Section 553(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 required the immediate adoption of 
Emergency AD 2026-10-51, issued on May 15, 2026, to all known U.S. 
owners and operators of these helicopters. The FAA found that the risk 
to the flying public justified forgoing notice and comment prior to 
adoption of this rule because the MR mast is critical to flight of a 
helicopter. Cracking of the MR mast may lead to destruction of the MR 
mast, departure of the main rotor head, and loss of control of the 
helicopter. Since the FAA has no information pertaining to the extent 
of cracking of the MR mast that may currently exist in helicopters, the 
initial actions required by this AD must be accomplished before further 
flight for certain helicopters. This compliance time is shorter than 
the time necessary for the public to comment and for the publication of 
the final rule. These conditions still exist, therefore, notice and 
opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable and contrary to 
the public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(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 forego notice and 
comment.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (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 FAA has determined 
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without prior notice and 
comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 67 helicopters of U.S. 
registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                         Cost per   Cost on U.S.
               Action                        Labor cost               Parts cost          product     operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspect MR mast.....................  8 work-hours x $85 per   $117...................        $797       $53,399
                                       hour = $680.
Modify MR mast......................  2 work-hours x $85 per   $0 (nominal amount for          170        11,390
                                       hour = $170.             modification).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary repairs 
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. The 
agency has no way of determining the number of helicopters that might 
need this repair:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Action                                  Labor cost             Parts cost   Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apply corrosion protection....................  2 work-hours x $85 per hour =              $0               $170
                                                 $170.
Report inspection results.....................  1 work-hour x $85 per hour = $85.          $0                $85
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[[Page 34742]]

    The extent of the MR mast repairs that may be needed could vary 
significantly from helicopter to helicopter. The FAA has no way of 
determining the work-hours it may take to perform these repairs or the 
number of helicopters that may require repair. However, according to 
the manufacturer, the cost of an MR mast repair (overhaul) may cost up 
to $19,950 per repair.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for 
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of 
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB 
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public 
reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be 
approximately 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing 
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. All responses to this collection of 
information are mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate 
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including 
suggestions for reducing this burden, to: Information Collection 
Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood 
Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

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.
