Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive 
(AD) that applies to certain Bombardier Inc. Model CL-215-1A10 and CL-
215-6B11 (CL-215T Variant) airplanes. The existing AD currently 
requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking of the lower cap of 
the wing front and rear spars at wing station (WS) 51.00, and the wing 
lower skin. Additional actions, if cracking is found, include reworking 
the lower cap of the front or rear spar, inspecting for cracking, and 
repairing any cracking. The existing AD also requires reporting 
inspection results. Since we issued that AD, we have received reports 
of cracking found outside the inspection area. This proposed AD would 
extend the inspection area of the rear spar lower cap from WS 51.00 to 
WS 49.50 and modify the ultrasonic inspection calibration procedure. We 
are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the lower caps 
of the wing front spar and rear spar, and lower wing skin, which could 
result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 26, 2012.

Discussion

    On August 24, 2005, we issued AD 2005-18-05, Amendment 39-14245 (70 
FR 52009, September 1, 2005). That AD required actions intended to 
address an unsafe condition on Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-215-1A10, CL-
215-6B11 (CL-215T Variant), and CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant) airplanes.
    Since we issued AD 2005-18-05, Amendment 39-14245 (70 FR 52009, 
September 1, 2005) Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the 
airworthiness authority for Canada, has issued Airworthiness Directive 
CF-1992-26R2, dated September 1, 2010 (referred to after this as ``the 
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The 
MCAI states:

    Cracks have been found in the rear spar of the left wing at Wing 
Station (WS) 51.00 on several aircraft in service. On some aircraft, 
the cracks propagated through the lower spar cap and fail-safe 
straps into the spar web and the lower wing skin. The cracks are not 
visible from outside the aircraft.
* * * * *
    Revision 2 of this [TCCA] AD is issued as a result of cracks 
found outside the inspection area specified in Revision 1. This 
revision extends the inspection area of the rear spar lower cap from 
WS 51.00 to WS 49.50 and to modify the ultrasonic inspection 
calibration procedure.

Cracking of the lower caps of the wing front spar and rear spar, and 
lower wing skin, could result in reduced structural integrity of the 
airplane. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in 
the AD docket.
    AD 2005-18-05, Amendment 39-14245 (70 FR 52009, September 1, 2005), 
specifies Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant) airplanes in the 
applicability, but also specifies serial numbers 1001 though 1125. The 
serial numbers for Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant) airplanes start 
at 2001. We have determined that Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant) 
airplanes are not subject to the identified unsafe condition. 
Therefore, we have removed Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant) airplanes 
from the applicability of this proposed AD.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier Inc. has issued Alert Service Bulletin 215-A454, 
Revision 4, dated November 18, 2009. The actions described in this 
service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition 
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have 
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service 
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same 
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD 
would affect about 7 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2005-18-05, Amendment 39-14245 
(70 FR 52009, September 1, 2005) and retained in this proposed AD take 
about 17 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per 
work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently 
required actions is $1,445 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 6 work-hour per product to 
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average 
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate 
the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $3,570, or $510 per 
product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would 
take about 480 work-hours for a cost of $40,800 per product. We have 
received no definitive data that would enable us to provide a parts 
cost estimate for the on-condition requirement specified in this 
proposed AD. We have no way of determining the number of products that 
may need these actions.

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 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

[[Page 6690]]

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. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies 
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    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. We prepared a regulatory evaluation 
of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD and placed it in 
the AD docket.
