De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive
(AD)for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of wear on fuel couplings, bonding springs, and sleeves as well as fuel tube end ferrules and fuel component end ferrules. This AD requires repetitive inspections of certain parts for discrepancies that meet specified criteria, and replacement as necessary; repetitive inspections of certain parts for damage and wear, and rework of parts; and electrical bonding checks of certain couplings. This AD also requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. For certain airplanes, this AD allows a modification that would terminate the repetitive inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective May 4, 2020. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 4, 2020. ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule, contact De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited, Q-Series Technical Help Desk, 123 Garratt Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario M3K 1Y5, Canada; telephone 416-375-4000; fax 416-375-4539; email *thd@dehavilland.com;* internet *https://dehavilland.com.* You may view this service information at the FAA, Transport Standards Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA.

The address for Docket Operations is U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Catanzaro, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe and Propulsion Section, FAA, New York ACO Branch, 1600 Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, NY 11590; telephone 516-228-7366; fax 516-794-5531; email *9-avs-nyaco-cos@faa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2017-04R2, dated September 25, 2018 (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or “the MCAI”), to correct an unsafe condition for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at *https://www.regulations.gov* by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-0726. The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM)to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the **Federal Register** on October 30, 2019 (84 FR 58066). The NPRM was prompted by reports of wear on fuel couplings, bonding springs, and sleeves as well as fuel tube end ferrules and fuel component end ferrules. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive inspections of certain parts for discrepancies that meet specified criteria, and replacement as necessary; repetitive inspections of certain parts for damage and wear, and rework of parts; and electrical bonding checks of certain couplings. The NPRM also proposed to require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. For certain airplanes, the NPRM proposed to allow a modification that would terminate the repetitive inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to address wear on fuel couplings, bonding springs, and sleeves as well as fuel tube end ferrules and fuel component end ferrules, which could reduce the integrity of the electrical bonding paths through the fuel line and components, and ultimately lead to fuel tank ignition in the event of a lightning strike. See the MCAI for additional background information. Comments The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this final rule. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to the comment. Request To Refer to Different Temporary Revisions
(TRs)Horizon Air requested that paragraph
(k)of the proposed AD be revised to refer to TR ALI-0192 and TR ALI-0193. The commenter suggested that the proposed AD contains typographical errors in referring to TR ALI-00AS and TR ALI-00AT. The FAA agrees to clarify. Paragraph
(k)of the proposed AD requires incorporating “the information specified in Q400 Dash 8 (Bombardier) Temporary Revision ALI-00AS, dated April 24, 2018; and Q400 Dash 8 (Bombardier) Temporary Revision ALI-00AT, dated April 24, 2018.” TCCA notified the FAA that TR ALI-00AS and TR ALI-00AT are temporary placeholder identifiers for TR ALI-0192 and TR ALI-0193. These temporary placeholder identifiers are used until the finalized TRs are provided new numerical identifiers. The FAA has confirmed that the information specified in these TRs is the same as the information specified in the TRs mentioned by the commenter. For these reasons, this AD has been revised to specify TR ALI-0192 and TR ALI-0193. Explanation of Change to Introductory Text to Paragraph
(h)of This AD We have revised the introductory text to paragraph
(h)of this AD to clarify that the actions apply to the same airplanes as those identified in the introductory text to paragraph
(g)of this AD. Conclusion The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this final rule with the changes described previously and minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and • Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM. The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final rule. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 84-28-20, Revision D, dated November 23, 2018. This service information describes procedures for repetitive detailed inspections of the clamshell coupling bonding wires, fuel couplings, and associated sleeves for discrepancies (wear and damage, including discoloration, worn coating, scuffing and grooves) that meet specified criteria, and replacement. This service information also describes procedures for repetitive detailed inspections for damage and wear of the fuel tube end ferrules, fuel component end ferrules, and ferrule O-ring flanges, and rework of parts. Bombardier has also issued Service Bulletin 84-28-21, Revision C, dated July 13, 2018. This service information describes procedures for a detailed inspection for damage and wear of the fuel tube end ferrules, fuel component end ferrules, and ferrule O-ring flanges; rework (repair, replacement, or blending, as applicable) of parts; and a retrofit (structural rework) of the fuel couplings, isolators, and structural provisions. Bombardier has also issued Service Bulletin 84-28-26, Revision A, dated November 29, 2018. This service information describes procedures for electrical bonding checks of all threaded couplings on the inboard vent lines in the left and right wings. Bombardier has also issued Q400 Dash 8 (Bombardier) Temporary Revision ALI-0192, dated April 24, 2018; and Q400 Dash 8 (Bombardier) Temporary Revision ALI-0193, dated April 24, 2018. This service information describes airworthiness limitations for fuel tank systems. These documents are distinct since they describe different airworthiness limitations. 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 The FAA estimates that this AD affects 52 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD: Estimated Costs for Required Actions * Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators 268 work-hours × $85 per hour = $22,780 $0 $22,780 $1,184,560 * Table does not include estimated costs for revising the maintenance or inspection program. The FAA has determined that revising the maintenance or inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although this number may vary from operator to operator. In the past, the FAA has estimated that this action takes 1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. Therefore, the FAA estimates the total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours × $85 per work-hour). Estimated Costs for Optional Actions Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product 525 work-hours × $85 per hour = $44,625 $20,906 $65,531 The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-condition actions that would be required based on the results of any required or optional actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these on-condition actions: Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product 174 work-hours × $85 per hour = $14,790 $16,767 $31,557 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. The FAA is 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 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)Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.
