Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-14-06 for all Airbus Model A318-111 and -112 airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, and -115 airplanes; Model A320-111, -211, -212, and -214 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -211, -212, and -213 airplanes. AD 2014-14-06 required inspecting the aft engine mount retainers for surface finish, cracks, and failure, and replacement if necessary. This new AD requires repetitive inspections for damaged, cracked, broken, and missing aft engine mount retainers, and replacement if necessary. This AD was prompted by inspection results that have shown that the main cause of crack initiation in the aft engine mount retainers is the vibration dynamic effect that affects both retainers, either with “dull” or “bright” surface finishes. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct failure of retainer brackets of the aft engine mount and consequent loss of the locking feature of the nuts of the inner and outer pins; loss of the pins will result in the aft mount engine link no longer being secured to the aft engine mount.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2014-14-06, Amendment 39-17901 (79 FR 42655, July 23, 2014) (“AD 2014-14-06”). AD 2014-14-06 applied to all Model A318-111 and -112 airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, and -115 airplanes; Model A320-111, -211, -212, and -214 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -211, -212, and -213 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 17, 2015 (80 FR 55798) (“the NPRM”). The NPRM was prompted by inspection results that have shown that the main cause of crack initiation in the aft engine mount retainers is the vibration dynamic effect that affects both retainers, either with “dull” or “bright” surface finishes. The NPRM proposed to continue to require inspecting the aft engine mount retainers for surface finish, cracks, and failure, and replacement if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require repetitive inspections for damaged, cracked broken, and missing aft engine mount retainers, and replacement if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct failure of retainer brackets of the aft engine mount and consequent loss of the locking feature of the nuts of the inner and outer pins; loss of the pins will result in the aft mount engine link no longer being secured to the aft engine mount.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2015-0021, dated February 13, 2015 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or “the MCAI”), to correct an unsafe condition. The MCAI states:

During in-service inspections, several aft engine mount retainers, fitted on aeroplanes equipped with CFM56-5A/5B engines, have been found broken. The results of the initial investigations highlighted that two different types of surface finish had been applied (respectively bright and dull material finishes), and that dull finish affects the strength of the retainer with regard to fatigue properties of the part. The pins which attach the engine link to the aft mount are secured by two nuts, which do not have a self-locking feature; this function is provided by the retainer brackets. In case of failure of the retainer bracket, the locking feature of the nuts of the inner and outer pins is lost; as a result, these nuts could subsequently become loose.

In case of full loss of the nuts, there is the potential to also lose the pins, in which case the aft mount link will no longer be secured to the aft engine mount. The same locking feature is used for the three link assemblies of the aft mount.

This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to in-flight loss of an aft mount link, possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane and injury to person on the ground.

To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2013-0050 ( http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2013_0050_superseded.pdf/AD_2013-0050_1 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2014-14-06] to require detailed inspections (DET) of the aft engine mount retainers and the replacement of all retainers with dull finish with retainers having a bright finish.

Since that [EASA] AD was issued, inspection results have shown that the main cause of crack initiation remains the vibration dynamic effect that affects both retainers, either with “dull” or “bright” surface finishes. The non-conforming “dull” surface's pitting is an aggravating factor.

For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA AD 2013-0050, which is superseded, and requires repetitive DET of all aft engine mount retainers and, depending on findings [damaged, cracked, broken, or missing retainers], their replacement.

This [EASA] AD is considered to be an interim action, pending development and availability of a final solution.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-3632.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Use Alternative Inspection Method

Delta Airlines (DAL) requested that we revise paragraph (m) of the NPRM to approve use of a boroscope with 10X magnification when performing the inspection of the center aft engine mount inner retainer as an option to removing the center retainer. DAL stated that this procedure was allowed by the FAA in Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) ANM-116-14-423, dated September 16, 2014, for AD 2014-14-06. DAL stated that this procedure provides an equivalent level of safety since the detectability of the subject condition using this alternate inspection method is the same as a detailed visual inspection using 10X magnification, mirror, and light.

We disagree with DAL's request. AMOC ANM-116-14-423, dated September 16, 2014, provides an AMOC for replacing 10X magnification, mirror, and light with a boroscope with 10X magnification but that AMOC is not an option to removing the center retainer. However, under the provisions of paragraph (q)(1) of this AD, we will consider requests for approval of alternative procedures, if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the change would provide an acceptable level of safety. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

We have clarified in paragraph (q)(1)(ii) of this AD that AMOCs approved previously for AD 2014-14-06, are approved as AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of paragraphs (g) and (i) of this AD.

Request To Use Later Revisions of Service Information

DAL requested that we permit use of later approved revisions of the service information. DAL stated that Airbus has released Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1060, Revision 01, dated April 7, 2015.

We partially agree with DAL's request. We do not agree to include an allowance for later approved revisions of the referenced service information. When referring to a specific service document in an AD, using the phrase, “or later FAA-approved revisions,” violates the Office of the Federal Register's regulations for approving materials that are incorporated by reference. See 1 CFR 51.1(f).

However, affected operators may request approval to use a later revision of the referenced service document as an alternative method of compliance, under the provisions of paragraph (q)(1) of this AD. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

We agree to reference to Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1060, Revision 01, dated April 7, 2015, in this final rule as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the actions required by paragraphs (l) and (m) of this AD (referred to as paragraphs (m) and (n) in the proposed AD).

We have also redesignated paragraph (l) of the proposed AD to paragraph (p)(1) of this AD (the paragraph retains existing credit information) and added new paragraphs (p)(2) and (p)(3) of this AD to provide provisional credit for Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1060, dated October 9, 2014. For operators to obtain credit for Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1060, dated October 9, 2014, for the replacement, operators must use the torque value units applicable to nut item (14) specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1060, Revision 01, dated April 7, 2015. Those torque value units were incorrectly stated in Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1060, dated October 9, 2014.

Conclusion

We reviewed the available data, including the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these changes:

• Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-71-1060, Revision 01, dated April 7, 2015. This service information describes procedures for inspecting the aft engine mount retainers for surface finish (dull or bright), for damaged, cracked, broken, or missing retainers, and replacement.

Goodrich Aerostructures has issued Service Bulletin RA32071-160, dated September 18, 2014. This service information describes procedures for inspecting the aft engine mount inner retainers for cracks or failure, and replacement.

This service information 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.

Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD affects 922 airplanes of U.S. registry.

The actions required by AD 2014-14-06, and retained in this AD, take about 3 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are were required by AD 2014-14-06 is $255 per inspection cycle per product (for two engines).

We also estimate that it would take about 10 work-hours per product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD, and 1 work-hour per product to report inspection findings. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $862,070, or $935 per product.

In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would take about 2 work-hours and require parts costing $10,000, for a cost of $10,170 per product. We have no way of determining the number of airplanes that might need these actions.

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 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 current valid OMB control number. The control number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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.

We are 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

We determined that 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;

2. Is not a “significant rule” under the DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and

4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
