Reason
(e) Reason
This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations for certain brake accumulators
are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address brake
accumulators that could surpass a life limit and fail, resulting in
loss of hydraulic pressure on the associated hydraulic system, which
services the main and emergency/parking brakes on the main landing
gear. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in
reduced or total loss of available braking and a possible runway
excursion.

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes.
This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations for certain brake accumulators are necessary.
This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations. This AD also requires determining the
accumulated landings on the affected brake accumulators. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective January 15, 2025.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of January 15,
2025.

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 Bombardier,
Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on March 4, 2024 (89 FR 15517). The NPRM was
prompted by AD CF-2022-25, dated May 17, 2022 (referred to after this
as the MCAI), issued by Transport Canada, which is the aviation
authority for Canada. The MCAI states that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations (life limits) for certain brake accumulators
have been developed, following in-service failures of brake
accumulators on other types of airplanes with similar components. A
brake accumulator surpassing a life limit could fail and result in loss
of hydraulic pressure on the associated hydraulic system, which
services the main and emergency/parking brakes on the main landing
gear.
In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations for certain brake
accumulators and to determine the accumulated landings on the affected
brake accumulators. The FAA is issuing this AD to address brake
accumulators that could surpass a life limit and fail, resulting in
loss of hydraulic pressure on the associated hydraulic system, which
services the main and emergency/parking brakes on the main landing
gear. The unsafe condition on these products could result in reduced or
total loss of available braking and a possible runway excursion.
You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2024-0228.
Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive
Comments
The FAA received comments from three individuals who supported the
NPRM without change.
The FAA received an additional comment from an individual who
stated that accounting for the accumulated landings is a better method
of gauging the necessity of maintenance or inspection on the brake
accumulators since the accumulator is used in ground towing operations
and to dampen sudden pressure changes in the aircraft's hydraulics
during operation. The commenter stated another factor that might be
accounted for is a potential difference in temperature during
operation, especially if the brake accumulators in the Bombardier
airplanes mentioned in the airworthiness directive have air (instead of
nitrogen) as the fluid inside the accumulator.
The FAA agrees that the accumulated landings is the appropriate
method of establishing the intervals for maintenance or inspection of
the brake accumulators, as specified in the TLMCs. Reference to
difference in temperature is unnecessary, as the currently stated
calendar time requirements and accumulated landing requirements
adequately and appropriately define the timing requirements of the
needed actions. This methodology is consistent with that used by
Transport Canada. The FAA has not changed the AD with regards to this
issue.
Conclusion
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the
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 this product. Except for minor editorial
changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the

The FAA also reviewed the following material, which specifies
procedures for determining the accumulated landings on the brake
accumulators. Knowing the accumulated landings is necessary to comply
with the life limit. These documents are distinct because they apply to
different airplane configurations.
<bullet> Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-1A11-32-030, Revision 02,
dated March 2, 2023.

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 117 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
The FAA has determined that revising the maintenance or inspection
program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although the
agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator.
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
agency estimates the average total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90
work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.5 work-hours x $85 per hour = $128......................... $0 $128 $14,976

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.
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
0
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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive:
2024-23-02 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment 39-22881; Docket No. FAA-
2024-0228; Project Identifier MCAI-2022-00599-T.
[[Page 99699]]
(a) Effective Date
This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective January 15, 2025.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-
700-1A11 airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers
9002 through 9998 inclusive, and 60001 through 60046 inclusive.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 05, Time Limits/
Maintenance Checks; 32, Landing Gear.
(e) Reason
This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations for certain brake accumulators
are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address brake
accumulators that could surpass a life limit and fail, resulting in
loss of hydraulic pressure on the associated hydraulic system, which
services the main and emergency/parking brakes on the main landing
gear. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in
reduced or total loss of available braking and a possible runway
excursion.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision
Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate the information in the tasks specified in table 1 to
paragraph (g) of this AD of Section 5-10-11, ``Life Limits
(Systems),'' of Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the
applicable Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC) Manual. The initial
compliance time for doing the tasks is at the time specified in the
tasks specified in table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD, or within 90
days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.
