Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-23-12 for 
certain Airbus Model A330 and Model A340 series airplanes. AD 2010-23-
12 required inspecting to determine the part number for Thales Avionics 
Angle of Attack (AoA) probes, and replacing any affected probe with a 
serviceable probe. This new AD adds airplanes to the applicability and, 
for certain airplanes, requires that those affected probes be replaced. 
This AD was prompted by reports that the AoA sensors on certain 
airplanes were modified and re-identified without performing the 
inspection to determine the part number; therefore, the affected probes 
were not replaced with serviceable probes. We are issuing this AD to 
prevent erroneous AoA information and consequent delayed activation or 
non-activation of the AoA protection systems, which, in combination 
with flight at a high angle of attack, could result in reduced 
controllability of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 8, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 8, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to supersede AD 2010-23-12, Amendment 39-16501 (75 FR 68698, 
November 9, 2010). AD 2010-23-12 applied to certain Airbus Model A330 
and Model A340 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal 
Register on September 26, 2013 (78 FR 59295). The NPRM was prompted by 
reports that the AoA sensors on certain airplanes were modified and re-
identified without performing the inspection to determine the part 
number; therefore, the affected probes were not replaced with 
serviceable probes. The NPRM proposed to require inspecting to 
determine the part number for Thales Avionics Angle of Attack (AoA) 
probes, and replacing any affected probe with a serviceable probe. We 
are issuing this AD to prevent erroneous AoA information and consequent 
delayed activation or non-activation of the AoA protection systems, 
which, in combination with flight at a high angle of attack, could 
result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2013-0068, dated March 15, 2013 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified 
products. The MCAI states:

    During Airbus Final Assembly Line reception flight tests, Angle 
of Attack (AoA) data from two different aeroplanes were found 
inaccurate, which was confirmed by flight data analysis.
    The results of the investigation conducted by Airbus and Thales 
on the removed sensors revealed oil residue between the stator and 
the rotor parts of the AoA vane position resolvers. This oil residue 
was the result of incorrect removal of machining oil during the 
manufacturing process of the AoA resolvers. At low temperatures, 
this oil residue becomes viscous (typically in cruise) causing 
delayed and/or reduced AoA vane movement. Multiple AoA sensors could 
be simultaneously affected, providing incorrect indications of the 
AoA of the aeroplane.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to erroneous AoA 
information and consequent delayed activation or non-activation of 
the AoA protection systems which, if during flight at a high angle 
of attack, could result in reduced control of the aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2010-0016R1 
[(<a href="http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2013_0068.pdf/AD_2011-0007R1_1">http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2013_0068.pdf/AD_2011-0007R1_1</a>)] [which corresponds to FAA AD 2010-23-12, Amendment 39-
16501 (75 FR 68698, November 9, 2010)] to require the identification 
of the serial number (S/N) of each installed Thales Avionics 
(formerly SEXTANT), Part Number (P/N) C16291AA AoA sensor and the 
replacement of all suspect units with serviceable one. EASA AD 2010-
0016R1 also prohibited the (re) installation of these same S/N AoA 
sensors on any aeroplane, unless corrective measures had been 
accomplished.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, it was discovered that a part 
of the affected population of AoA sensors may have been modified and 
re-identified from P/N C16291AA to P/N C16291AB, in accordance with 
the instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin (SB) A330-34-3228 or SB 
A340-34-5070, as applicable to aeroplane type, without having passed 
the inspection in accordance with the instructions of Thales 
Avionics SB C16291A-34-007, Revision 01.
    For the reasons described above, this new [EASA] AD retains the 
requirements of EASA AD 2010-0016R1, which is superseded, [adds 
airplanes to the applicability, and requires, for the affected 
population that was not addressed by EASA AD 2010-0016R1, the 
replacement of the suspect units with serviceable ones.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>.

Revised Service Information

    Since the NPRM (78 FR 59295, September 26, 2013) was published, we 
have received the following service information:
    <bullet> Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-34-3232, Revision 
01, dated September 17, 2013 (for Model A330-200 and A330-300 series 
airplanes);
    <bullet> Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340-34-4239, Revision 
01, dated September 17, 2013 (for Model A340-200 and A340-300 series 
airplanes); and
    <bullet> Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340-34-5072, Revision 
01, dated September 17, 2013 (for Model A340-500, and A340-600 series 
airplanes).

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We considered the comment received.

Request To Include Revised Service Information

    Airbus asked that we include the service information identified 
previously under ``Revised Service Information'' as a means of 
compliance for accomplishing the required actions.
    We agree with the commenter and have included this new service 
information in paragraph (i) of this AD. We have also given credit for 
previous revisions of the service information by adding a new paragraph 
(k) to this AD and redesignating subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Change to Paragraph (g) of This AD

    The NPRM (78 FR 59295, September 26, 2013) contained a 
typographical error in paragraph (g) of the NPRM. The last sentence of 
paragraph (g) of the NPRM referred to ``paragraph (l) of this AD.'' 
Paragraph (l) of the NPRM contained the ``Other FAA AD Provisions'' 
text. The last sentence of paragraph (g) of the NPRM should have 
referred to the ``Parts Installation Limitations'' text, which was in 
paragraph (k) of the NPRM. However, we have not changed the last 
sentence in paragraph (g) of this AD to refer to paragraph (k) of this 
AD, because the reference to paragraph (l) of this AD is now correct. 
As stated previously, a new paragraph (k) was added to this AD and, 
therefore, paragraph (k) of the NPRM is now referred to as paragraph 
(l) in this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and 
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD with the changes described previously. We have determined that 
these changes:
    <bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM (78 FR 59295, September 26, 2013) for correcting the unsafe 
condition; and
    <bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 59295, September 26, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects about 70 products of U.S. 
registry.
    The actions that were required by AD 2010-23-12, Amendment 39-16501 
(75 FR 68698, November 9, 2010), and are retained in this AD take about 
3 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work 
hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the retained 
required actions is $255 per product.
    We estimate that it takes about 9 work-hours per product to comply 
with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is 
$85 per work-hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product. Where the 
service information lists required parts costs that are covered under 
warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these parts. 
As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some 
parties may incur costs higher

[[Page 18624]]

than estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of 
the AD on U.S. operators to be $53,550, or $765 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide 
cost estimates for the optional terminating action specified in 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 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 that 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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.

1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.


Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing airworthiness directive (AD) 
2010-23-12, Amendment 39-16501 (75 FR 68698, November 9, 2010), and 
adding the following new AD:

2014-06-10 Airbus: Amendment 39-17814. Docket No. FAA-2013-0829; 
Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-085-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective May 8, 2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2010-23-12, Amendment 39-16501 (75 FR 
68698, November 9, 2010).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Airbus airplanes, certificated in any 
category, as identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD,
    (1) Model A330-201, A330-202, A330-203, A330-223, A330-223F, 
A330-243, A330-243F, A330-301, A330-302, A330-303, A330-321, A330-
322, A330-323, A330-341, A330-342, and A330-343 airplanes; all 
manufacturer serial numbers.
    (2) Model A340-211, A340-212, A340-213, A340-311, A340-312, 
A340-313, A340-541, and A340-642 airplanes; all manufacturer serial 
numbers.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 34: Navigation.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports that the Angle of Attack (AoA) 
sensors on certain airplanes were modified and re-identified without 
performing the inspection to determine the part number; therefore, 
the affected probes were not replaced with serviceable probes. We 
are issuing this AD to prevent erroneous AoA information and 
consequent delayed activation or non-activation of the AoA 
protection systems, which, in combination with flight at a high 
angle of attack, could result in reduced controllability of the 
airplane.

(f) Compliance

    You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD 
performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions 
have already been done.

(g) Retained Inspection of AoA Probes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 
2010-23-12, Amendment 39-16501 (75 FR 68698, November 9, 2010). For 
airplanes on which an AoA sensor having part number (P/N) C16291AA 
is installed, except as provided by paragraph (l) of this AD: Within 
3 months after December 14, 2010 (the effective date of AD 2010-23-
12), perform a detailed inspection of the Thales Avionics AoA probes 
having P/N C16291AA for a serial number identification, in 
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable 
service information identified in paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), and 
(g)(3) of this AD. A review of airplane maintenance records is 
acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the serial number of the 
AoA probe can be conclusively determined from that review. If no AoA 
probe having P/N C16291AA and a serial number identified in Thales 
Service Bulletin C16291A-34-007, Revision 01, dated December 3, 
2009, is identified during the inspection required by this paragraph 
of this AD, no further action is required by this AD, except as 
provided by paragraph (l) of this AD.

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD 
2010-23-12, Amendment 39-16501 (75 FR 68698, November 9, 2010), with 
clarified procedures. If the serial number of the AoA probe 
identified during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this 
AD corresponds to a suspect AoA probe specified in Thales Service 
Bulletin C16291A-34-007, Revision 01, dated December 3, 2009: At the 
applicable time specified in paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this AD, 
replace the affected AoA probe with a serviceable AoA probe, in 
accordance with one of the four options and associated 
Accomplishment Instructions specified in the applicable service 
bulletin identified in paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), and (g)(3) of this 
AD.
    (1) For airplanes on which Airbus Modification 53368 (back-up 
speed scale) has been embodied in production or Airbus Service 
Bulletin A330-34-3213, Airbus Service Bulletin A340-34-4213, or 
Airbus Service Bulletin A340-34-5060, as applicable, has been 
embodied in service:
