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)
2009-09-02, which applies to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model DHC-8-400
series airplanes. AD 2009-09-02 requires repetitive inspections for
damage of certain main landing gear (MLG) forward stabilizer brace
assemblies, repetitive inspections for cracking of both MLG forward
stabilizer braces, liquid penetrant inspections for cracking, and
corrective actions if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2009-09-02,
the FAA has determined that the installation of an elbow restrictor is
necessary to address the unsafe condition which would extend the
repetitive inspection interval. This proposed AD would retain the
existing actions and also require installation of an elbow restrictor.
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 August 26,
2019.

Discussion
The FAA issued AD 2009-09-02, Amendment 39-15888 (74 FR 18121,
April 21, 2009) (``AD 2009-09-02''), for certain Bombardier Model DHC-
8-400 series airplanes. AD 2009-09-02 requires inspections for damage
(including excessive wear, corrosion, foreign object damage, and
cracking) of certain MLG forward stabilizer brace assemblies and
applicable corrective actions; and repetitive inspections for cracking
of both MLG forward stabilizer braces, applicable liquid penetrant
inspections for cracking, and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2009-
09-02 resulted from reports of failures of the aft hinge of the MLG
forward stabilizer brace due to fatigue cracks. The FAA issued AD 2009-
09-02 to address failure of the stabilizer brace, which could result in
the collapse of the MLG.
Actions Since AD 2009-09-02 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2009-09-02, the FAA has determined that the
installation of an elbow restrictor is necessary to address the unsafe
condition which would extend the repetitive inspection interval.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2009-11R2, dated May
31, 2018 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. The MCAI
states:
Several reports have been received on failures of the aft hinge
of the main landing gear (MLG) forward stabilizer brace. Laboratory
examinations have found that the fatigue cracks were initiated from
the dowel pin hole at the aft hinge lug of the MLG forward
stabilizer brace where the stop bracket is attached. Failure of the
stabilizer brace could result in the collapse of the main landing
gear.
The initial issue of this [Canadian] AD mandated initial
inspections, repetitive inspections and rectification, as required,
of the MLG forward stabilizer brace.
Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD mandated installation of an
Elbow Restrictor (P/N 46610-1) to the MLG Down-lock Actuators as
terminating action to the repeat inspections in Part I. The repeat
inspections in Part IV are required for all Forward Stabilizer Brace
Assemblies (P/N 46401-7) after Installation of the Elbow Restrictor
(P/N 46610-1).
Revision 2 of this [Canadian] AD, in Part III, gives credit for
the accomplishment of earlier revisions of Bombardier Service
Bulletin SB 84-32-69 and clarifies, in Part IV, when the initial and
repeat inspections are required following the installation of the
elbow restrictor (P/N 46610-1) in Part III of this [Canadian] AD.
Required actions include repetitive inspections for damage of
certain MLG forward stabilizer brace assemblies, repetitive inspections
for cracking of both MLG forward stabilizer braces, applicable liquid
penetrant inspections for cracking, applicable corrective actions
including repair or replacement if necessary, rework of the MLG forward
stabilizer brace, and installation of an elbow restrictor. 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-2019-
0479.

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 the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
and service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD
because the FAA evaluated all the relevant information and determined
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other products of the same type design.
Proposed Requirements of This NPRM
This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2009-09-02.
This proposed AD would also require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 54 airplanes of
U.S. registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:
[[Page 33187]]
Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retained actions from AD 2009-09-02... 8 work-hours x $85 per $0 $680 $36,720
hour = $680.
New proposed actions.................. 19 work-hours x $85 per 10,867 12,482 674,028
hour = $1,615.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable the
agency to provide cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified
in this proposed AD.
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.
This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the
Director of the System Oversight Division.
Regulatory Findings
The FAA 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.
