Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for
Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF- 2008-32R2, dated
November 17, 2008 (referred to after this as "the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:
There have been various reported incidents of throttle jam and engine shutdowns,
caused by premature wear of the rack and pinion mechanism of part number
(P/N) 2100140-005 and -007 Engine Throttle Control Gearbox (ETCG), installed
on Bombardier CL-601 and 604 aircraft.
Bombardier issued service bulletins (SB) 601-0583 (CL601/601-3A, -3R) and
604-76-004 (CL 604), introducing periodic inspection of the affected ETCG rack
and pinion mechanisms for wear.
Subject inspection requirement tasks have now been incorporated into the
applicable CL601 and CL604 Time Limits Maintenance Checks (TLMCs) through
Temporary Revisions (TR), TR 5-236 (for CL601), TR 5-236 (for CL601-3A & -3R)
and TR 5-2-40 (for CL604).
Bombardier has issued Temporary Revision 5-236, dated July 25, 2008, to
Section 5-10-30 of Chapter 5 of the Canadair Challenger Time
Limits/Maintenance Checks, PSP 601-5; Temporary Revision 5-2-40, dated July
28, 2008, to Section 5-10-40 of Chapter 5 of the Canadair Challenger CL-604
Time Limits/Maintenance Checks; and Temporary Revision 5-236, dated March
22, 2007, to Section 5-10-30 of Chapter 5 of the Canadair Challenger Time
Limits/Maintenance Checks, PSP 601A-5. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

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
proposing 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.
We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in general,
agree with their substance. But we might have found it necessary to use different
words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. operators and is
enforceable. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively
from the information provided in the MCAI and related service information.
We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those in the MCAI
in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are highlighted in a Note
within the proposed AD.
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD would affect
about 377 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 1
work-hour per product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD.
The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $30,160, or $80 per product.
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.

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 this proposed 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
proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.
