Federal Register Abstract

The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700 and 701) and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive detailed inspections for cracking or deformation, or pulled or missing fasteners, on the lower panel of the left- and right-hand main landing gear (MLG) doors, as applicable, and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD reduces the repetitive inspection interval for certain airplanes. This new AD also adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD results from a report of a MLG door departing from an airplane. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the lower panel of the MLG door, departure of the lower panel from the airplane, and consequent damage to airplane structure, which could adversely affect the airplane's continued safe flight and landing.

Amendment 39-14676; AD 2006-14-05]
RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional 
Jet Series 700, 701, and 702) Airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional 
Jet Series 705) Airplanes, and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 
900) Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive 
(AD), which applies to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional 
Jet Series 700 and 701) and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) 
series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive detailed 
inspections for cracking or deformation, or pulled or missing 
fasteners, on the lower panel of the left- and right-hand main landing 
gear (MLG) doors, as applicable, and corrective actions if necessary. 
This new AD reduces the repetitive inspection interval for certain 
airplanes. This new AD also adds airplanes to the applicability. This 
AD results from a report of a MLG door departing from an airplane. We 
are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the lower panel of the MLG 
door, departure of the lower panel from the airplane, and consequent 
damage to airplane structure, which could adversely affect the 
airplane's continued safe flight and landing.

DATES: This AD becomes effective August 15, 2006.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of August 15, 
2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Examining the Docket

    You may examine the airworthiness directive (AD) docket on the 
Internet at <a href="http://dms.dot.gov">http://dms.dot.gov</a> or in person at the Docket Management 
Facility office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,

(telephone (800) 647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Nassif 
Building at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section.

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2003-19-51, amendment 
39-13353 (68 FR 61615, October 29, 2003). The existing AD applies to 
certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700 and 701) 
and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) series airplanes (originally 
issued September 17, 2003, as an emergency airworthiness directive). 
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 7, 2006 (71 FR 
11335). That NPRM proposed to continue to require repetitive detailed 
inspections for cracking or deformation, or pulled or missing 
fasteners, on the lower panel of the left- and right-hand main landing 
gear (MLG) doors, as applicable, and corrective actions if necessary. 
That NPRM also proposed to reduce the repetitive inspection interval 
for certain airplanes and to add airplanes to the applicability.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the 
development of this AD. No comments have been received on the NPRM or 
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Revision of Corrective Action Paragraph (i)(2)

    We have revised paragraph (i)(2) of this AD to specify that the 
replacement be done in accordance with a method approved by the 
Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA; or 
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) (or its delegated agent), and 
that doing the replacement in accordance with Task Cards 32-12-01-000-
801-A01 and 32-12-01-400-801-A01 of the CRJ 700/900 Series Regional Jet 
Aircraft Maintenance Manual is one approved method.

Clarification of Paragraph (k) Requirements

    We have revised paragraph (k) of this AD to clarify that 
inspections must be done on installed door(s) that have previously been 
inspected in accordance with paragraph (g).

Clarification of AFM Reference

    We have revised the AFM reference specified in paragraphs (m)(2)(i) 
and (m)(2)(ii) 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 have determined that these changes 
will neither increase the economic burden on any operator nor increase 
the scope of the AD.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action. If final action is later 
identified, we may consider further rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators 
to comply with this AD. This affects about 213 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.

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.
