Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive
(AD)for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by an investigation of an in-service hydraulic fluid leakage event that indicated the potential use of an uncalibrated torque wrench when tightening the union fittings at the pressure and return interfaces of all three rudder hydraulic power control units (PCUs). This AD requires properly torquing the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings and applying the torque seal on the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective July 25, 2025. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 25, 2025. ADDRESSES: *AD Docket:* You may examine the AD docket at *regulations.gov* under Docket No. FAA-2024-2666; or in person at Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this final rule, the mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI), any comments received, and other information. 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. *Material Incorporated by Reference:* • For Transport Canda material identified in this AD, contact Transport Canada, Transport Canada National Aircraft Certification, 159 Cleopatra Drive, Nepean, Ontario K1A 0N5, Canada; telephone 888-663-3639; email *TC.AirworthinessDirectives-Consignesdenavigabilite.TC@tc.gc.ca* .

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brenda L. Buitrago, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198; phone: 516-288-7368; email: *Brenda.L.Buitrago.Perez@faa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM)to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A11 airplanes. The NPRM was published in the **Federal Register** on December 20, 2024 (89 FR 104067). The NPRM was prompted by AD CF-2024-13, dated April 29, 2024 (Transport Canada AD CF-2024-13) (also referred to as the MCAI), issued by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. The MCAI states an investigation of an in-service hydraulic fluid leakage event indicated the potential use of an uncalibrated torque wrench when tightening the union fittings at the pressure and return interfaces of all three rudder PCUs. If not corrected, this condition could cause the union fittings to come loose and leak, resulting in the potential loss of one or more hydraulic systems. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require properly torquing the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings and applying the torque seal on the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings, as specified in Transport Canada AD CF-2024-13. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at *regulations.gov* under Docket No. FAA-2024-2666. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received a comment from The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), who supported the NPRM without change. The FAA received additional comments from two commenters, Airbus Canada Limited Partnership and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (Delta). The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment. Request To Remove, Revise, or Clarify the Exception for Leak Repair Delta requested the FAA either remove the exception in paragraph (h)(3) of the proposed AD or revise it to require ensuring that any hydraulic leak is within the leakage limits, instead of requiring the leak to be repaired before further flight as proposed. As justification, Delta stated Transport Canada AD CF-2024-13 references service information, which in turn references an airplane maintenance program
(AMP)task that contains allowable leakage limits for seals on the rudder PCU, ensuring the leak rate does not exceed the allowable limit. Delta also stated they received confirmation from Airbus Canada Limited Partnership indicating that allowable leaks as defined in the AMP task are acceptable. Delta, therefore, concluded that the exception in paragraph (h)(3) of the proposed AD contradicts the allowable leakage limits of the AMP task, and that it causes extra strain on operators who have already accomplished the procedures in the referenced service information because those operators are not able to demonstrate compliance with the proposed AD, unless the exception is removed or revised. Airbus requested the FAA explain why the FAA's proposed AD does not allow the same leak tolerance provided in Transport Canada AD CF-2024-13. The FAA agrees that some leaks may be permissible if the leak rate is within the allowable leakage limits of the AMP task. It is not the FAA's intent to require different actions than those required by Transport Canada AD CF-2024-13. Therefore, the FAA has revised the “Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR part 51” paragraph to clarify that, in addition to other specified actions, the corrective actions include testing for leakage limits to ensure any leak is within the applicable leakage tolerance and replacing the rudder PCU. Accordingly, the FAA has revised paragraph (h)(3) of this AD to specify that the visual inspection for hydraulics leaks at all coil tube fittings of the upper, middle, and lower rudder PCUs and all applicable corrective actions must be performed, and that all applicable corrective actions must be done before further flight except as specified in steps 13 and 22 of AMP BD500-A-J27-21-01-01AAA-364B-A. Conclusion These products have been approved by the civil aviation authority of another country and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, that authority has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, and any other changes described previously, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator. Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51 The FAA reviewed Transport Canada AD CF-2024-13, dated April 29, 2024. This material specifies procedures for properly torquing the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings and applying the torque seal on the rudder PCU hydraulic fittings, which includes cleaning any leaks at the coil B-nut connections, performing a visual inspection for hydraulics leaks for all rudder PCU coil tube fittings, and applicable corrective actions. The corrective actions include tightening the nut to the specified torque, testing for leakage limits to ensure any leak is within the applicable leakage tolerance, replacing any defective components, and replacing the rudder PCU. This material 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 5 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 Up to 9 work-hours × $85 per hour = Up to $765 $0 * Up to $765 Up to $3,825. * The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost estimates for the replacement cost. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety.
