Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-
200, and A340-300 Series Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

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:
* * * * *
    [B]ogie beam internal paint has been degraded, leading to a loss 
of cadmium plating and thus allowing development of corrosion 
pitting.
    If not corrected, this situation under higher speed could result 
in the aircraft departing the runway or in the bogie [beam] 
detaching from the aircraft or [main landing] gear collapses, which 
would constitute an unsafe condition.
* * * * *
We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe 
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 2, 2009.

    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 2, 
2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. 
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 10, 2009 (74 
FR 10199). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the 
specified products. The MCAI states:

    The operator of an A330 aircraft (which has a common bogie beam 
with the A340) has reported a fracture of the RH (right-hand) MLG 
(main landing gear) Bogie Beam whilst turning during low speed taxi 
maneuvers. The bogie [beam] fractured aft of the pivot point and 
remained attached to the sliding tube by the brake torque reaction 
rods. After this RH bogie [beam] failure, the aircraft continued for 
approximately 40 meters on the forks of the sliding member before 
coming to rest on the taxiway without any passenger injury.
    The preliminary investigations revealed that this event was due 
to corrosion pitting occurring on the bore of the bogie beam. 
Investigations are ongoing to determine why bogie beam internal 
paint has been degraded, leading to a loss of cadmium plating and 
thus allowing development of corrosion pitting.
    If not corrected, this situation under higher speed could result 
in the aircraft departing the runway or in the bogie [beam] 
detaching from the aircraft or [main landing] gear collapses, which 
would constitute an unsafe condition.
    To enable early detection and repair of any corrosion of the 
internal surfaces, EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) AD 2007-
0314 required a one-time inspection on all MLG Bogie Beams except 
Enhanced MLG Bogie Beams and the reporting of the results to AIRBUS.
    The Revision 1 of AD 2007-0314 aimed to clarify the compliance 
time of the inspection and to extend the reporting period.
    The present AD which supersedes the AD 2007-0314R1:

--Takes over the AD 2007-0314R1 requirements and
--Reduces the inspection threshold from 6 to 4.5 years due to 
significant findings on the inspected aircraft.

Required actions include applying protective treatments to the bogie 
beam and corrective actions. Corrective actions include repair of any 
damaged or corroded surfaces or surface treatments, and contacting 
Messier-Dowty for repair instructions and doing the repair. 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 considered the comments received.

Request To Revise References to the French Export Certificate in the 
NPRM

    Airbus requests that we revise the phrase ``French export 
certificate of airworthiness'' that is specified in paragraphs (f)(2), 
(f)(2)(i), (f)(3), and (f)(3)(i) of the NPRM. Airbus states that there 
is no more ``French'' export airworthiness certificate and states that 
it has been replaced with the EASA export airworthiness certificate.
    We agree to revise paragraphs (f)(2), (f)(2)(i), (f)(3), and 
(f)(3)(i) of this AD for the reason provided by the commenter. We have 
replaced the phrase ``French export certificate of airworthiness'' with 
``French or EASA export certificate of airworthiness.''

Request To Revise Compliance Time Specified in Paragraphs (f)(3)(i) and 
(f)(3)(ii) of the NPRM

    Airbus requests that we revise the compliance time specified in 
paragraphs (f)(3)(i) and (f)(3)(ii) of the NPRM to include the 
additional phrase ``or at the next scheduled bogie beam overhaul, 
whichever occurs first.''
    We disagree with revising the compliance time, ``within 18 months 
after the effective date of this AD,'' specified in paragraphs 
(f)(3)(i) and (f)(3)(ii) of this AD to include the additional phrase. 
The requested change would shorten the compliance time for certain 
operators. In developing an appropriate compliance time, we considered 
the safety implications and normal maintenance schedules for timely 
accomplishment of the required actions. We determined that the 
compliance time represents an appropriate interval in which the actions 
required by this AD can be done, in a timely manner within the fleet, 
while still maintaining an adequate level of safety. Operators are 
always permitted to accomplish the requirements of an AD at a time 
earlier than the specified compliance time. If additional data are 
presented that would justify a shorter compliance time, we might 
consider further rulemaking on this issue. We have not revised this AD 
in this regard.

    The new service information does not add work for airplanes on 
which the actions specified in the earlier revisions of the service 
bulletins have been accomplished.
    Revision 01 of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletins A330-32-3225 and 
A340-32-4268 revises references to Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin A33/
34-32-272. We have revised paragraphs (f)(1) and (h) of this AD to 
refer to Revision 01 of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletins A330-32-3225 
and A340-32-4268. We have also added Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletins 
A330-32-3225 and A340-32-4268, both dated November 21, 2007, to 
paragraph (f)(6) of this AD to give credit for actions done in 
accordance with these service bulletins before the effective date of 
this AD.
    Revision 1 of Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin A33/34-32-271 provides 
a new illustration and updates the procedures. We have revised 
paragraphs (f)(5) and (h) of this AD to refer to Revision 1 of Messier-
Dowty Service Bulletin A33/34-32-271. We have also added Messier-Dowty 
Service Bulletin A33/34-32-271, including Appendix A, dated September 
13, 2007, to paragraph (f)(6) of this AD to give credit for actions 
done in accordance with that service bulletin before the effective date 
of this AD.
    Revision 1 of Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin A33/34-32-272 provides 
new illustrations and updates the procedures. We have revised 
paragraphs (f)(1)(i), (f)(1)(ii), and (h), and Note 1 of this AD to 
refer to Revision 1 of Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin A33/34-32-272. We 
have also added Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin A33/34-32-272, including 
Appendixes A, B, C, and D, dated November 16, 2007, to paragraph (f)(6) 
of this AD to give credit for actions done in accordance with that 
service bulletin before the effective date of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these 
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or 
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This 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 our FAA policies. Any such differences 
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 29 products of U.S. registry. 
We also estimate that it will take about 22 work-hours per product to 
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate 
is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of 
this AD to the U.S. operators to be $51,040, or $1,760 per product.

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 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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>; or in person at the Docket Operations office 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal

2009-15-17 Airbus: Amendment 39-15980. Docket No. FAA-2009-0211; 
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-028-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective 
September 2, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-
200, and A340-300 series airplanes; certificated in any category; 
all certified models; all serial numbers, except those on which 
Airbus modification 54500 has been embodied in production or Airbus 
Service Bulletin A330-32-3212 has been embodied in service.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32: Landing 
Gear.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 
states:

    The operator of an A330 aircraft (which has a common bogie beam 
with the A340) has reported a fracture of the RH (right-hand) MLG 
(main landing gear) Bogie Beam whilst turning during low speed taxi 
maneuvers. The bogie [beam] fractured aft of the pivot point and 
remained attached to the sliding tube by the brake torque reaction 
rods. After this RH bogie [beam] failure, the aircraft continued for 
approximately 40 meters on the forks of the sliding member before 
coming to rest on the taxiway without any passenger injury.
    The preliminary investigations revealed that this event was due 
to corrosion pitting occurring on the bore of the bogie beam. 
Investigations are ongoing to determine why bogie beam internal 
paint has been degraded, leading to a loss of cadmium plating and 
thus allowing development of corrosion pitting.
    If not corrected, this situation under higher speed could result 
in the aircraft departing the runway or in the bogie [beam] 
detaching from the aircraft or [main landing] gear collapses, which 
would constitute an unsafe condition.
    To enable early detection and repair of any corrosion of the 
internal surfaces, EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) AD 2007-
0314 required a one-time inspection on all MLG Bogie Beams except 
Enhanced MLG Bogie Beams and the reporting of the results to AIRBUS.
    The Revision 1 of AD 2007-0314 aimed to clarify the compliance 
time of the inspection and to extend the reporting period.
    The present AD which supersedes the AD 2007-0314R1:

--Takes over the AD 2007-0314R1 requirements and
--Reduces the inspection threshold from 6 to 4.5 years due to 
significant findings on the inspected aircraft.

Required actions include applying protective treatments to the bogie 
beam and corrective actions. Corrective actions include repair of 
any damaged or corroded surfaces or surface treatments, and 
contacting Messier-Dowty for repair instructions and doing the 
repair.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) At the applicable compliance time specified in paragraph 
(f)(2) or (f)(3) of this AD: Clean the internal bore and perform a 
detailed visual inspection of internal surfaces of the MLG bogie 
beam (right-hand and left-hand) for any damage to the protective 
treatments or any corrosion, in accordance with the Accomplishment 
Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-32-3225 or 
A340-32-4268, both Revision 01, both dated October 30, 2008; as 
applicable.
    (i) If no damage and corrosion is found, before further flight, 
apply the protective treatments of the bogie beam, in accordance
