Unsafe Condition
Multiple non-return valve (NRV) failures in combination with certain trapped fuel cases could potentially increase the quantity of unusable fuel on the aeroplane, possibly leading to fuel starvation which could result in engines in-flight shut down.

ACTION: Final rule; rescission. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SUMMARY: This amendment rescinds airworthiness directive (AD) 2009-18-19 for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by EASA, to rescind EASA AD 2010-0083. The MCAI specifies the following: It has been assessed that multiple NRV [non-return valve] failures in combination with certain trapped fuel cases could potentially increase the quantity of unusable fuel on the aeroplane, possibly leading to fuel starvation which could result in engines in- flight shut down and would constitute an unsafe condition. To prevent and detect this condition, EASA issued EASA AD 2010-0083. Based on in service experience, mainly on the results of the operational test required by EASA AD 2010-0083, Airbus has performed a safety analysis on the NRV to check if the safety objectives are met. This analysis of the Collector Cell motive flow line NRV, taking into account all failure scenarios, concludes that the previous non compliance can be alleviated. Consequently, no unsafe condition exists any more on the affected NRV. For the reasons described above, EASA AD 2010-0083 is cancelled. This AD rescinds the parallel FAA AD 2009-18-19. DATES: This AD becomes effective June 10, 2011. 1 2 ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by rescinding an existing AD. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 30, 2010 (75 FR 82325) and proposed to rescind AD 2009-18-19, Amendment 39-16016 (74 FR 46322, September 9, 2009). That AD was intended to address an unsafe condition on the products listed above. Since we issued AD 2009-18-19, EASA issued Airworthiness Directive 2010-0083-CN, dated September 20, 2010, to cancel EASA AD 2010-0083, dated May 3, 2010, for the specified products. EASA AD 2010-0083-CN states: It has been assessed that multiple NRV [non-return valve] failures in combination with certain trapped fuel cases could potentially increase the quantity of unusable fuel on the aeroplane, possibly leading to fuel starvation which could result in engines in- flight shut down and would constitute an unsafe condition.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusions We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the public interest require the rescission of the AD as proposed.
