(Including CL-605 Marketing Variant)) Airplanes, and Model CL-600-2B19 
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive 
(AD) that applies to all Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet 
Series 100 & 440) airplanes and Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 
(CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604) airplanes. 
The existing AD currently requires revising the airplane flight manuals 
(AFMs) to include new cold weather operations limitations and 
procedures. This AD requires revising the AFMs to include a requirement 
for flightcrew training regarding enhanced take-off procedures and 
winter operations. This AD results from reports of uncommanded roll 
during take-off. We are issuing this AD to prevent possible loss of 
control on take-off resulting from even small amounts of frost, ice, 
snow, or slush on the wing leading edges or forward upper wing 
surfaces.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 31, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of October 31, 
2008.
    On April 21, 2008 (73 FR 19989, April 14, 2008), the Director of 
the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain 
publications listed in this AD.
    We must receive any comments on this AD by November 17, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    On April 2, 2008, the FAA issued AD 2008-08-06, amendment 39-15458 
(73 FR 19989, April 14, 2008). That AD applies to all Bombardier Model 
CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes and Model CL-600-
1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-
601-3R, and CL-604) airplanes. That AD requires revising the airplane 
flight manuals (AFMs) to include new cold weather operations 
limitations and

[[Page 61337]]

procedures. That AD resulted from reports of uncommanded roll during 
take-off. The actions specified in that AD are intended to prevent 
possible loss of control on take-off resulting from even small amounts 
of frost, ice, snow, or slush on the wing leading edges or forward 
upper wing surfaces.

Actions Since AD Was Issued

    The preamble to AD 2008-08-06 specified that we considered the 
requirements ``interim action'' and that Transport Canada Civil 
Aviation (TCCA) advised that it was developing further actions, such as 
crew awareness and training with regard to winter operations to address 
the unsafe condition addressed by that AD. That AD explains that we 
might consider further rulemaking if those further actions are 
developed, approved, and available. TCCA has now advised us that the 
manufacturer has developed these actions, and we have determined that 
further rulemaking is indeed necessary; this AD follows from that 
determination.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued the temporary revisions (TRs) listed in the 
``Temporary Revisions'' table. The temporary revisions describe 
limitations that include tactile inspections for ice during certain 
weather conditions, limitations and procedures for use of wing and cowl 
anti-ice during certain taxiing or take-off conditions, and take-off 
limitations to reduce high-pitch attitudes during rotation. The 
temporary revisions also describe a limitation, effective November 1, 
2008, that requires flightcrew training regarding enhanced take-off 
procedures and winter operations. Accomplishing the actions specified 
in the service information is intended to adequately address the unsafe 
condition. TCCA mandated the service information and issued Canadian 
airworthiness directives CF-2008-15R1 and CF-2008-16R1, both dated 
August 20, 2008 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to ensure the 
continued airworthiness of these airplanes in Canada.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have 
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service 
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same 
type design.
    Therefore, we are issuing this AD to supersede AD 2008-08-06. This 
new AD retains certain requirements of the existing AD. This AD also 
requires revising the AFMs to include a requirement for flightcrew 
training regarding enhanced take-off procedures and winter operations.

Differences Between This AD and the Canadian Airworthiness Directives

    The Canadian airworthiness directives specify that operators should 
advise flightcrews of the changes introduced by the TRs; and review the 
``Pilot's Checklist'' to ensure that the instructions regarding 
selection of the wing anti-ice system to ``ON,'' as specified in the 
AFM Limitations section, are incorporated. We do not require these 
actions because there is no method to determine compliance with these 
actions.

Change to Existing AD

    This AD retains certain requirements of AD 2008-08-06; however, 
certain paragraphs have been rearranged. As a result, the corresponding 
paragraph identifiers have changed in this AD, as listed in the 
following table:

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    We are rapidly approaching the ice/snow season and the pilot 
training regarding enhanced take-off procedures and winter operations 
must be accomplished before the season begins. Because of our 
requirement to promote safe flight of civil aircraft and thus, the 
critical need to prevent uncommanded roll during take-off and the short 
compliance time involved with this action, this AD must be issued 
immediately.
    Because an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate 
adoption of this AD, we find that notice and opportunity for prior 
public comment hereon are impracticable and that good cause exists for 
making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight 
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to 
provide your comments before it becomes effective. However, we invite 
you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send 
your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include 
``Docket No. FAA-2008-1096; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-158-AD'' at 
the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the 
overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this 
AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may 
amend this AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We 
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we 
receive about this AD.

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 have 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 the regulation:
    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. See the ADDRESSES 
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, 
the FAA amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (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 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends Sec.  39.13 by 
removing amendment 39-15458 (73 FR 19989, April 14, 2008) and adding 
the following new AD:

2008-21-09 Bombardier, Inc. (Formerly Canadair): Docket No. FAA-
2008-1096; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-158-AD; Amendment 39-
15693.

Effective Date

    (a) This AD becomes effective October 31, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2008-08-06.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Bombardier Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-
600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, & CL-
604) airplanes, and Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 
440) airplanes, certificated in any category.

    Note 1: Some Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-604) airplanes might be 
referred to by a marketing designation as CL-605.


    Note 2: This AD requires revisions to certain operator 
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with 
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes 
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the 
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able 
to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this 
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must 
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according 
to paragraph (j) of this AD. The request should include a 
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure 
the continued operational safety of the airplane.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from reports of uncommanded roll during 
take-off. We are issuing this AD to prevent possible loss of control 
on take-off resulting from even small amounts of frost, ice, snow, 
or slush on the wing leading edges or forward upper wing surfaces.

Compliance

    (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this 
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the 
actions have already been done.

Restatement of AD 2008-08-06

Revision to Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)

    (f) Within 7 days after April 21, 2008 (the effective date of AD 
2008-08-06), revise the applicable sections of the applicable AFM by 
inserting a copy of the applicable temporary revision (TR) listed in 
Table 1 of this AD. Thereafter, operate the airplanes per the 
limitation specified in the applicable TR, except as provided by 
paragraphs (h) and (j) of this AD. Doing the revision required by 
paragraph (h) of this AD terminates the requirements of this 
paragraph.
    (g) When information identical to that in a TR specified in 
paragraph (f) of this AD has been included in the general revisions 
of the applicable AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into 
the AFM, and the TR may be removed from that AFM.
