[Docket No. FAA-2008-0301; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-284-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Model Falcon 2000EX and 900EX
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    On early FALCON airplanes featuring the EASy cockpit, a new
oxygen controller has been installed. An internal review has
determined that the passenger oxygen mask boxes do not fit this new
controller. In OVERRIDE mode, that is to say, when the internal
pressure reducer is by-passed, oxygen (O2) flow is
nominal, while in NORMAL mode O2 flow is reduced by half
compared to what it should be.
    Consequently, in NORMAL mode the minimum mass flow of
supplemental O2 for each passenger, as required by Certification
Specifications, is no longer met. This could lead to passenger
incommodation due to insufficient body oxygenation.

The unsafe condition is incorrectly fitted passenger oxygen mask boxes
for the new controllers, which could result in incapacitation of
passengers due to insufficient oxygen in the event of rapid
depressurization of the airplane when the controller is in NORMAL mode.
The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 17, 2008.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued
Airworthiness Directive 2007-0073, dated March 22, 2007 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    On early FALCON airplanes featuring the EASy cockpit, a new
oxygen controller has been installed. An internal review has
determined that the passenger oxygen mask boxes do not fit this new
controller. In OVERRIDE mode, that is to say, when the internal
pressure reducer is by-passed, oxygen (O2) flow is
nominal, while in NORMAL mode O2 flow is reduced by half
compared to what it should be.
    Consequently, in NORMAL mode the minimum mass flow of
supplemental O2 for each passenger, as required by
Certification Specifications, is no longer met. This could lead to
passenger incommodation due to insufficient body oxygenation.
    The purpose of this Airworthiness Directive (AD) is to mandate
the replacement of the passenger oxygen mask boxes by new-design
ones [boxes] adapted to the controller.

The unsafe condition is incorrectly fitted passenger oxygen mask boxes
for the new controllers, which could result in incapacitation of
passengers due to insufficient oxygen in the event of rapid
depressurization of the airplane when the controller is in NORMAL mode.
You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Dassault has issued Service Bulletins F900EX-257 and F2000EX-61,
both Revision 1, both dated March 22, 2007. The actions described in
this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed 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 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.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    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 27 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 16 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $0 per product. Where the
service information lists required parts costs that are covered under
warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these costs.
As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some
parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $34,560, or $1,280 per product.

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 determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Dassault Aviation: Docket No. FAA-2008-0301; Directorate Identifier
2007-NM-284-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by April 17, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Dassault Model Falcon 2000EX and 900EX
airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in paragraphs
(c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD.
    (1) Falcon 900EX airplanes, serial number (S/N) 120 through 146
inclusive, on which Dassault Service Bulletin F900EX-257 has not
been implemented.
    (2) Falcon 2000EX airplanes, S/N 28 through 55 inclusive, on
which Dassault Service Bulletin F2000EX-61 has not been implemented.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 35: Oxygen.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    On early FALCON airplanes featuring the EASy cockpit, a new
oxygen controller has been installed. An internal review has
determined that the passenger oxygen mask boxes do not fit this new
controller. In OVERRIDE mode, that is to say, when the internal
pressure reducer is by-passed, oxygen (O2) flow is
nominal, while in NORMAL mode O2 flow is reduced by half
compared to what it should be.
    Consequently, in NORMAL mode the minimum mass flow of
supplemental O2 for each passenger, as required by
Certification Specifications, is no longer met. This could lead to
passenger incommodation due to insufficient body oxygenation.
    The purpose of this Airworthiness Directive (AD) is to mandate
the replacement of the passenger oxygen mask boxes by new-designed
ones [boxes] adapted to the controller.

The unsafe condition is incorrectly fitted passenger oxygen mask
boxes for the new controllers, which could result in incapacitation
of passengers due to insufficient oxygen in the event of rapid
depressurization of the airplane when the controller is in NORMAL
mode.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done do the following actions:
    (1) Within 15 months after the effective date of this AD,
replace the passenger oxygen mask boxes in accordance with Dassault
Service Bulletins F900EX-257 or F2000EX-61, both Revision 1, both
dated March 22, 2007, as applicable.
    (2) Actions done before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with Dassault Service Bulletins F900EX-257 dated March
15, 2006, and F2000EX-61, dated March 22, 2006; are acceptable for
compliance with the corresponding actions of this AD.

FAA AD Differences

    Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, has the authority to approve AMOCs
for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. Send information to ATTN: Tom Rodriguez, Aerospace Engineer,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98057-3356; telephone
(425) 227-1137; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>. Before using any approved AMOC
on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate
principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office
(FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-
0056.
