2017-17-17: Hydraulic power

Adoption of 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 removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-03-08, Amendment 39-16592 (76 FR 6536, February 7, 2011), and adding the following new AD: 2017-17-17 Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.; Canadair Limited): Amendment 39-19007; Docket No. FAA-2017-0474; Product Identifier 2016-NM-096-AD. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective October 11, 2017. (b) Affected ADs This AD replaces AD 2011-03-08, Amendment 39-16592 (76 FR 6536, February 7, 2011) (``AD 2011-03-08''). (c) Applicability This AD applies to Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate previously held by Bombardier, Inc.; Canadair Limited) airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(3) of this AD. (1) Model CL-215-1A10 (CL-215) airplanes, serial numbers 1001 through 1125 inclusive. (2) Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-215T Variant) airplanes, serial numbers 1056 through 1125 inclusive. (3) Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant) airplanes, serial numbers 2001 through 2990 inclusive. (d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 29, Hydraulic power . (e) Reason This AD was prompted by reports of on-ground hydraulic accumulator screw cap or end cap failure resulting in a loss of the associated hydraulic system and high-energy impact damage to adjacent systems and structure. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the screw cap or end cap, which could result in impact damage to various components, potentially resulting in fuel spillage, uncommanded flap movement, or loss of aileron control. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Retained Inspection To Determine Flight Cycles, With No Changes This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2011-03-08, with no changes. Within 50 flight hours after March 14, 2011 (the effective date of AD 2011-03-08), inspect to determine the number of flight cycles accumulated by each of the applicable accumulators (i.e., brake, aileron, elevator, and rudder accumulators) having part number 08-8423-010 (MS28700-3) installed on the airplane. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the number of flight cycles accumulated can be conclusively determined from that review. (h) Retained Initial Ultrasonic Inspection for Model CL-215-1A10 (CL- 215) and CL-215-6B11 (CL-215T Variant) Airplanes, With No Changes This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD 2011-03-08, with no changes. For Model CL-215-1A10 (CL-215) and CL- 215-6B11 (CL-215T Variant) airplanes: Do an ultrasonic inspection for cracking of the accumulator at the applicable time specified in paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this AD, in accordance with Part B of the Accomplishment Instructions of the [[Page 42027]] applicable service bulletin listed in table 1 to paragraphs (h), (i), and (k) of this AD.

(2) For any accumulator on which the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD shows an accumulation of 875 total flight cycles or fewer, do the inspection before the accumulation of 1,000 flight cycles on the accumulator. (i) Retained Initial Ultrasonic Inspection for Model CL-215-6B11 (CL- 415 Variant) Airplanes, With No Changes This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (i) of AD 2011-03-08, with no changes. For Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant) airplanes, do an ultrasonic inspection for cracking of the accumulator at the applicable time specified in paragraph (i)(1) or (i)(2) of thisAD, in accordance with Part B of the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service bulletin listed in table 1 to paragraphs (h), (i), and (k) of this AD. (1) For any accumulator on which the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD shows an accumulation of more than 750 flight cycles, or on which it is not possible to determine the number of total accumulated flight cycles, do the inspection within 250 flight cycles after March 14, 2011 (the effective date of AD 2011-03-08). (2) For any accumulator on which the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD shows an accumulation of 750 total flight cycles or fewer, do the inspection before the accumulation of 1,000 flight cycles on the accumulator. (j) Retained Repetitive Inspections, With New Terminating Action This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (j) of AD 2011-03-08, with new terminating action. If no cracking is found during any inspection required by paragraph (h) or (i) of this AD, repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 750 flight cycles until the actions required by paragraphs (n), (o), and (p) of this AD have been done. (k) Retained Replacement of Cracked Accumulators and Repetitive Inspections, With New Terminating Action This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (k) of AD 2011-03-08, with new terminating action. If any cracking is found during any inspection required by paragraph (h) or (i) of this AD, before further flight, replace the accumulator with a serviceable accumulator, in accordance with Part B of the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service bulletin listed in table 1 to paragraphs (h), (i), and (k) of this AD. Doing the replacement does not end the inspection requirements of paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD. Repeat the inspections required by paragraph (h) or (i) of this AD, as applicable, at intervals not to exceed 750 flight cycles until the actions required by paragraphs (n), (o), and(p) of this AD have been done. (l) Retained Parts Installation Limitation, With No Changes This paragraph restates the parts installation limitation in paragraph (l) of AD 2011-03-08, with no changes. As of March 14, 2011 (the effective date of AD 2011-03-08), no person may install an accumulator, part number 08-8423-010 (MS28700-3), on any airplane unless the accumulator has been inspected in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (h) or (i) of this AD. (m) Retained Credit for Previous Actions, With No Changes This paragraph restates the credit provided in paragraph (m) of AD 2011-03-08, with no changes. Inspections accomplished before March 14, 2011 (the effective date of AD 2011-03-08), in accordance with the applicable service bulletin listed in table 2 to paragraph (m) of this AD are considered acceptable for compliance with the corresponding action specified in paragraph (h), (i), (j), or (k) of this AD.
