Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

SUMMARY:

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-11-01, which applies to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. AD 2023-11-01 requires a records check and replacement of affected left-hand (LH) direct current power center (DCPC) units. AD 2023-11-01 also provides optional terminating action for the records check and replacement. However, it has been determined that certain LH DCPC units require additional modification. This proposed AD would require checking maintenance records of certain airplanes, replacing certain DCPC units, and modifying certain DCPC units. This proposed AD would also expand the applicability of AD 2023-11-01. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts. 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 10, 2024.

Background

The FAA issued AD 2023-11-01, Amendment 39-22446 (88 FR 44042, July 11, 2023) (AD 2023-11-01), for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. AD 2023-11-01 was prompted by an MCAI originated by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. Transport Canada issued AD CF-2022-28, dated May 26, 2022 (Transport Canada AD CF-2022-28), to correct an unsafe condition.

AD 2023-11-01 requires a records check and replacement of affected LH DCPC units, and provides optional terminating action for those actions. The FAA issued AD 2023-11-01 to address erratic indications, which could cause the flightcrew to turn off fully operational electrical power sources, leading to partial or complete loss of electrical power. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of flight displays and reduced controllability of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2023-11-01 Was Issued

The preamble to AD 2023-11-01 explains that the FAA considers the requirements “interim action” and was considering further rulemaking. The FAA has now determined that further rulemaking is indeed necessary, and this NPRM follows from that determination.

Transport Canada superseded AD CF-2022-28, dated May 26, 2022 (Transport Canada AD CF-2022-28), and issued Transport Canada AD CF-2023-35, dated May 26, 2023 (Transport Canada AD CF-2023-35) (referred to after this as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition on all Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. The MCAI states that airplanes could experience misleading electrical system status indications (push button annunciators (PBA) and engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS)) as a result of contamination of electrical contacts in the LH DCPC internal communication data bus. These erratic indications could cause the flightcrew to turn off fully operational electrical power sources, leading to partial or complete loss of electrical power. Loss of electrical power could result in the loss of flight displays and reduced controllability of the airplane. The MCAI retains the requirement to verify the airplane records, requires removal of certain LH DCPC units for cleaning, and requires modification of certain LH DCPC units by adding a protective layer of tape to prevent the ingress of contaminants into the printed circuit board cage. The MCAI also prohibits installation of affected parts. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2024-1003.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

The FAA reviewed Bombardier Service Bulletins 100-24-29 and 350-24-004, both Revision 01, both dated July 27, 2023. This service information specifies procedures for a records check to determine the total flight hours and replacement of affected LH DCPC units (part numbers 975GC02Y04, 975GC0Y05, 975GC02Y06, and 975GC02Y07).

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 and service information referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

This proposed AD would expand the applicability of AD 2023-11-01 and require the actions specified in the service information described previously, except as discussed under “Differences Between this Proposed AD and the MCAI.”

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI

Although the MCAI only requires LH DCPC P/N 975GC02Y07 that have been cleaned or replaced to be modified to P/N 975GC02Y08, this proposed AD would also require that LH DCPC P/N 975GC02Y04, 975GC02Y05, and 975GC02Y06 that have been cleaned or replaced, as required by Transport Canada AD CF-2022-28 (which corresponds to AD 2023-11-01), to be replaced with LH DCPC P/N 975GC02Y08.

Additionally, although the MCAI only requires the test of the DCPC logic and protections after modification of P/N 975GC02Y07 that have been cleaned or replaced, as required by Transport Canada AD CF-2022-28, to P/N 975GC02Y08, this proposed AD also requires the functional test of the LH DCPC unit.

Costs of Compliance

The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would affect 356 airplanes of U.S. registry.

The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

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 this on-condition action:

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 individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for affected individuals. 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 has 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and

(3) 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

• Air transportation
• Aircraft
• Aviation safety
• Incorporation by reference
• Safety

The Proposed Amendment
