Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes and
Model A300-600 Series Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This airworthiness directive (AD) supersedes two existing ADs.
One AD applies to certain Airbus Model A310-200 and -300 series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the flap transmission shafts, and replacement of the transmission shafts if necessary. That AD also provides an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. The other existing
AD applies to all Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called
A300-600 series airplanes); and Model A310-200 and -300 series airplanes. That AD currently requires a one-time inspection of the trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuator (THSA), corrective actions if necessary, and follow-on repetitive tasks. This new AD also requires revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new limitations and maintenance tasks for aging systems maintenance. This AD results from the manufacturer's determination that life limitations and maintenance tasks are necessary to ensure continued operational safety of the affected airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent reduced structural integrity of these airplanes due to the failure of system components.
DATES: This AD becomes effective April 28, 2009.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of April 28, 2009.
On August 29, 2006 (71 FR 42021, July 25, 2006), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Airbus
Service Bulletin A300-27-6044, Revision 04, dated September 10, 2001; and Airbus Service Bulletin A310-27-2089, Revision 02, dated June 28, 2001.
On June 20, 2006 (71 FR 28254, May 16, 2006), the Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Airbus
Service Bulletin A310-27-2092, Revision 02, dated April 11, 2005; and
Airbus Service Bulletin A310-27-2095, dated March 29, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes two existing
ADs: AD 2006-10-11, amendment 39-14595 (71 FR 28254, May 16, 2006); and
AD 2006-15-10, amendment 39-14690 (71 FR 42021, July 25, 2006). AD 2006-10-11 applies to certain Airbus Model A310-200 and -300 series airplanes and requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the flap transmission shafts, and replacing the transmission shafts if necessary. That existing AD also provides an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. AD 2006-15-10 applies to all
Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes and requires a one-time inspection of the trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuator (THSA), corrective actions if necessary, and follow-on repetitive tasks.
That supplemental NPRM was published in the Federal Register on
September 26, 2008 (73 FR 55781). That supplemental NPRM proposed to continue to require the actions required by the two existing ADs. That supplemental NPRM also proposed to require revising the Airworthiness
Limitations Section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new limitations and maintenance tasks for aging systems maintenance. In addition, that supplemental NPRM proposed to revise the original NPRM by reducing the initial compliance times.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the development of this AD. No comments have been received on the supplemental NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public.
Explanation of Changes
We have removed the ``Service Bulletin References'' paragraph in the ``RESTATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS OF AD 2006-15-10'' section of this
AD. Instead, we refer to the required service documents in the individual paragraphs of this AD.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

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 have 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 DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.
