Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-02-23,
for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12
(CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A and CL-601-3R Variants) airplanes.
AD 2015-02-23 required repetitive inspections for fractured or
incorrectly oriented fasteners on the inboard flap hinge-box forward
fittings on both wings, and replacement of all fasteners if necessary.
This new AD also requires replacement of the fasteners, which
terminates the requirements of this AD. This AD was prompted by reports
of incorrectly oriented fasteners. We are issuing this AD to prevent
incorrectly oriented or fractured fasteners, which could result in
detachment of the flap hinge-box and the flap surface, and consequent
reduced controllability of the airplane.
DATES: This AD is effective December 19, 2016.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of February 18,
2015 (80 FR 5670, February 3, 2015).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2015-02-23, Amendment 39-18092 (80 FR 5670,
February 3, 2015) (``AD 2015-02-23''). AD 2015-02-23 applied to certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and
CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A and CL-601-3R Variants) airplanes. AD 2015-02-23
corresponded to Canadian Emergency AD CF-2013-39R2, dated December 12,
2014 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''). The MCAI was issued by Transport Canada
Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada.
The preamble to AD 2015-02-23 explained that we considered the
requirements interim action and were considering further rulemaking. We
have now determined that further rulemaking is indeed necessary and
that, instead of continuing repetitive inspections, for airplanes which
have any incorrectly oriented fastener, and no fractured or missing
fastener, replacement of all forward and aft fasteners, regardless of
condition or orientation, is necessary. This AD follows from that
determination.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 20, 2016 (81 FR
23202). The NPRM was prompted by reports of incorrectly oriented
fasteners. The NPRM proposed to continue to require repetitive
inspections for fractured or incorrectly oriented fasteners on the
inboard flap hinge-box forward fittings on both wings, and replacement
of all fasteners if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require
replacement of the fasteners, which would terminate the requirements of
this AD. We are issuing this AD to prevent incorrectly oriented or
fractured fasteners, which could result in detachment of the flap
hinge-box and the flap surface, and consequent reduced controllability
of the airplane.
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.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
Bombardier has issued Alert Service Bulletins A600-0763, Revision
02, dated December 9, 2014, including Appendixes 1 and 2, dated
September 26, 2013; and A601-0627, Revision 02, dated December 9, 2014,
including Appendixes 1 and 2, dated September 26, 2013. The service
information describes procedures for repetitive inspections of the
fasteners on the inboard flap hinge-box forward fittings on both wings,
and replacement of fasteners. These documents are distinct since they
apply to different airplane models. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business or by the means identified in
the ADDRESSES section.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 120 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions required by AD 2015-02-23, and retained in this AD,
take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions
that are required by AD 2015-02-23 is $85 per product.
We also estimate that it would take about 59 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. We have received no definitive data that
would enable us to provide cost estimates for the parts cost. Based on
these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be
$601,800, or $5,015 per product.
In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 58 work-hours and require parts costing $753, for a cost of
$5,683 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need this action.
According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all available costs in our
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.
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.

Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2015-02-23, Amendment 39-18092 (80 FR 5670, February 3, 2015), and
adding the following new AD:

(n) New Requirement of This AD: Terminating Action
For airplanes on which any incorrectly oriented fastener, and no
