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 adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD): 2017-22-14 Rockwell Collins, Inc.: Amendment 39-19094; Docket No. FAA-2017-0659; Product Identifier 2017-CE-014-AD. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective December 20, 2017. (b) Affected ADs None. (c) Applicability Rockwell Collins, Inc. TSSA-4100 Field Loadable Software (FLS) Rockwell Collins part numbers (RCPNs) 810-0052-002, -003, -010, - 011, -012, -100, or -101 found on TSS-4100 Traffic Surveillance System Processing Units, (RCPN) 822-2132-001 installed on airplanes. (1) The FLS RCPNs 810-0052-002, -003, -010, -011, -012, -100, or -101 found on TSS-4100 Traffic Surveillance System Processing Units are known to be installed on but not limited to the airplanes listed in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (14) of this AD and are certificated in any category. (i) Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) (ii) Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) (iii) Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) (iv) Bombardier CRJ-700 (CL-600-2C10) (v) Bombardier CRJ-900 (CL-600-2D24) (vi) Bombardier CRJ-1000 (CL-600-2E25) (vii) Bombardier CS100 (BD-500-1A10) (viii) Bombardier CS300 (BD-500-1A11) (ix)Navigation Bombardier Global 5000 equipped with Global Vision Flight Deck (BD-700-1A11) (x) Bombardier Global 6000 (BD-700-1A10) (xi) Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) (xii) Embraer Legacy (EMB-550) (xiii) Embraer Legacy 450 (EMB-545) (xiv) Gulfstream G280 (2) Earlier revision levels of the Rockwell Collins, Inc. service information and service information issued by airplane manufacturers before the effective date of this ADmay have specified the installation of FLS with different FAA-approved part numbers than the part numbers listed in paragraph (c) of this AD. If, before December 20, 2017 (the effective date of this AD), a part number that is different than the TSSA-4100 RCPNs listed in paragraph (c) of this AD is installed on the airplane, this AD does not apply to that airplane. (d) Subject Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 34, . (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by five instances of air traffic control observing coasting (extrapolated stale data) automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast data (ADS-B position/velocity data) on a related Rockwell Collins, Inc. platform that shares a common architecture with the TSS-4100 Traffic Surveillance System Processing Units. We are issuing this AD to prevent erroneous extrapolation of position/velocity and altitude data that could result in misleading position and/or altitude being reported by the airplane and possibly lead to mid-air collision. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Upgrade of FLS Within the next 12 months after December 20, 2017 (the effective date of this AD) or within the next 750 hours time-in-service after December 20, 2017 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, upgrade the TSSA-4100 FLS to RCPN 810-0052-013 or 810-0052- 102, as applicable, following Rockwell Collins Service Information Letter, TSSA-4100-SIL-10-1, Revision No. 9, dated [[Page 52830]] March 31, 2017; or Rockwell Collins Service Information Letter TSSA- 4100-SIL-10-1, Revision No. 10, dated July 10, 2017. (h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) (1) The Manager, Wichita ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
