factors presented in certain airplane flight manual (AFM) performance
charts for landing on contaminated runways do not provide sufficient
margin for stopping distances in certain conditions. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address incorrect AFM performance charts, which if
not corrected, could lead to longitudinal runway excursions.

RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; 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 Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes.
This AD
was prompted by reports that the thrust reverser correction factors
presented in certain airplane flight manual (AFM) performance charts
for landing on contaminated runways do not provide sufficient margin
for stopping distances in certain conditions. This AD requires revising
the existing AFM to correct the affected performance charts. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective March 9, 2023.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of March 9,
2023.
ADDRESSES:
AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-0513; 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.

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 May 9, 2022 (87 FR 27533). The NPRM was
prompted by AD CF-2021-35, dated October 26, 2021, issued by Transport
Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for
Canada (referred to after this as the MCAI). The MCAI states the thrust
reverser correction factors presented in certain AFM performance charts
for landing on contaminated runways do not provide sufficient margin
for stopping distances in certain conditions. If not corrected, use of
the affected performance charts could lead to longitudinal runway
excursions.
In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the existing AFM
to correct the affected performance charts. 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-2022-0513.
Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive
Comments
The FAA received a comment from TCCA. The following presents the
comment received on the NPRM and the FAA's response.
Request for Updating the AFM Revision Number
TCCA requested that the reference to Bombardier Global 6000
Airplane Flight Manual--Publication No. CSP 700-1V, Revision 39, dated
August 16, 2021, be updated to Bombardier Global 6000 Airplane Flight
Manual--Publication No. CSP 700-1V, Revision 42, dated May 19, 2022;
and the reference to Bombardier Global 5000 Featuring Global Vision
Flight Deck (GVFD) Airplane Flight Manual--Publication No. CSP 700-
5000-1V, Revision 39, dated August 16, 2021, be updated to Bombardier
Global 5000 Featuring Global Vision Flight Deck (GVFD) Airplane Flight
Manual--Publication No. CSP 700-5000-1V, Revision 42, dated May 19,
2022. TCCA stated that Revisions 40 and 41 introduced errors in Figures
07-35-02 and 07-35-04, which have been corrected in Revision 42.
The FAA partially agrees. The FAA does not agree with mandating
Bombardier Global 6000 Airplane Flight Manual--Publication No. CSP 700-
1V, Revision 42, dated May 19, 2022; and Bombardier Global 5000
Featuring Global Vision Flight Deck (GVFD) Airplane Flight Manual--
Publication No. CSP 700-5000-1V, Revision 42, dated May 19, 2022, in
this AD. TCCA issued CF-2022-49 on August 23, 2022 (TCCA AD CF-2022-49)
to mandate the incorporation of Figure 07-35-02 of Bombardier Global
6000 Airplane Flight Manual--Publication No. CSP 700-1V, Revision 42,
dated May 19, 2022; and Figure 07-35-04 of Bombardier Global 5000
Featuring Global Vision Flight Deck (GVFD) Airplane Flight Manual--
Publication No. CSP 700-5000-1V, Revision 42, dated May 19, 202; which
are in supplement 35 of the AFMs. TCCA AD CF-2022-49 also added
airplanes to the applicability. In order to mandate Revision 42 of
these AFMs, the FAA would need to issue a supplemental NPRM.
The FAA does not consider that delaying this action is warranted.
Only paragraphs (g)(3)(viii) and (g)(5)(viii) of the proposed AD refer
to supplement 35 of the AFMs specified in TCCA AD CF-2022-49. However,
the proposed AD specifies to incorporate Revision 39 of the AFMs, which
do not include any errors in the figures identified by TCCA. The
proposed AD would not allow operators to incorporate the figures in
Revision 40 and 41 of the AFM as those figures are not identical to the
figures in Revision 39 of the AFMs specified in paragraphs (g)(3) and
(5) of the proposed AD.
The FAA has added Bombardier Global 6000 Airplane Flight Manual--
Publication No. CSP 700-1V, Revision 42, dated May 19, 2022, to
paragraph (g)(3) of this AD; and Bombardier Global 5000 Featuring
Global Vision Flight Deck (GVFD) Airplane Flight Manual--Publication
No. CSP 700-5000-1V, Revision 42, dated May 19, 2022, to paragraph
(g)(5) of this AD; as an optional source of service information for
revising the AFM as specified in paragraphs (g)(3) and (5) of this AD.
For this AD, operator may incorporate Figures 07-35-02 and 07-35-04 of
either Revision 39 or 42 of the AFMs specified in paragraphs
(g)(3)(viii) and (g)(5)(viii) of this AD.
The FAA is considering further rulemaking to correspond with TCCA
AD CF-2022-49 and mandate incorporating Figure 07-35-02 of Bombardier
Global 6000 Airplane Flight Manual--Publication No. CSP 700-1V,
Revision 42, dated May 19, 2022; and Figure 07-35-04 of Bombardier
Global 5000 Featuring Global Vision Flight Deck (GVFD) Airplane Flight
Manual--Publication No. CSP 700-5000-1V, Revision 42, dated May 19,
2022.
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
comment 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
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.

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.

The Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
