Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 
Series Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the 
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing 
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of 
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an 
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    A special detailed inspection of A318/A319/A320/A321 elevators 
pre-modification 35515 was introduced under ALI (Airworthiness 
Limitations Items) task 552007 in the ALS (Airworthiness Limitations 
Section) part 2 * * * This ALI task has been introduced with an 
applicability defined at aeroplane modification level.
* * * * *
    It has been reported that some elevators may have been moved 
from the aeroplane on which they were originally fitted to another 
aeroplane, * * *. Consequently, those elevators might not have been 
inspected within the applicable required time frame as per ALI task 
552007 requirements.
* * * * *

The unsafe condition is structural failure of the elevators and 
consequent loss of control of the airplane. This AD requires actions 
that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the 
MCAI.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 9, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of September 9, 
2010.
    We must receive comments on this AD by October 12, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2010-0091, dated May 19, 2010 (referred to 
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the 
specified products. The MCAI states:

    A special detailed inspection of A318/A319/A320/A321 elevators 
pre-modification 35515 was introduced under ALI (Airworthiness 
Limitations Items) task 552007 in the ALS (Airworthiness Limitations 
Section) part 2 under ALI Document reference AI/SE-M4/95A.0252/96 at 
issue 7; approved by EASA on 07 February, 2006, and mandated by EASA 
AD 2006-0165 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2007-20-05, Amendment 39-
15215 (72 FR 56262, October 3, 2007)]. This ALI task has been 
introduced with an applicability defined at aeroplane modification 
level.
    A specific statement related to the interchangeable parts policy 
was introduced in issue 9 of the ALI Document approved by EASA on 21 
May, 2007. This statement required to track interchangeable damage 
tolerant part movements between aeroplanes.
    It has been reported that some elevators may have been moved 
from the aeroplane on which they were originally fitted to another 
aeroplane, and spare parts may have been installed without being 
traced with regard to the ALI Document requirements. Consequently, 
those elevators might not have been inspected within the applicable 
required time frame as per ALI task 552007 requirements.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires the 
identification of the elevators installed on the aeroplane to 
determine whether these elevators have been inspected within the 
applicable required time frame as per ALI task 552007. If this had 
not been done, this AD requires the accomplishment of that 
inspection and, depending on findings, associated corrective 
action(s).

The unsafe condition is structural failure of the elevators and 
consequent loss of control of the airplane. The corrective actions 
include a special detailed inspection (thermographic) of affected 
elevators for damage, including cracking, and repairing any damage or 
cracking found. You may obtain further information by examining the 
MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-55A1040, dated January 11, 
2010. Airbus has also issued A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness 
Limitation Items (ALI) AI/SE-M4/95A.0252/96, Issue 09, dated November 
2006; and Issue 10, dated October 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 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 issuing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same 
type design.

Differences Between the AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in 
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it 
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the 
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these 
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information 
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those 
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are 
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of 
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies 
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because some 
elevators may have been moved from one airplane to another without 
being traced, and consequently may not have been inspected in 
accordance with ALI task 552007. Elevators not inspected within the 
compliance time in ALI Task 552007 could fail. Failure of the elevators 
could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. 
Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment 
before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for 
making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight 
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public 
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or 
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under 
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2010-0804; Directorate 
Identifier 2010-NM-163-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We 
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, 
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all 
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of 
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>, including any personal information you provide. We 
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we 
receive about this 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

[[Page 52248]]

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 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 this AD:
    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 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.

Issue 09, dated November 2006; or Issue 10, dated October 2009.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information 
as follows: Although the MCAI or service information specifies to 
perform corrective actions using the instructions defined in Airbus 
ALI AI/SE-M4/95A.0252/96, Issue 09, dated November 2006; or Issue 
10, dated October 2009; if any affected elevators are found, such 
corrective actions are not identified in the ALI tasks. Therefore, 
this AD requires that you perform all corrective actions before 
further flight using a method approved by either the Manager, 
International Branch, ANM 116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; 
or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) (or its delegated 
agent).

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (o) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, 
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using 
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Tim 
Dulin, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport 
Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 
98057-3356; telephone (425) 227-2141; fax (425) 227-1149. Before 
using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 
notify your principal maintenance inspector (PMI) or principal 
avionics inspector (PAI), as appropriate, or lacking a principal 
inspector, your local Flight Standards District Office. The AMOC 
approval letter must specifically reference this AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain 
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these 
actions if they are FAA-approved; corrective actions are considered 
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority 
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product 
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in 
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
approved the information collection requirements and has assigned 
OMB Control Number 2120-0056.
