Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 777–200 

and –300 series airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by reports 

of hydraulic fluid contamination found 

in the strut forward dry bay. This 

proposed AD would require repetitive 

general visual inspections of the strut 

forward dry bay for the presence of 

hydraulic fluid, and related 

investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary. We are proposing this AD to 

detect and correct hydraulic fluid 

contamination of the strut forward dry 

bay, which could result in hydrogen 

embrittlement of the titanium forward 

engine mount bulkhead fittings, and 

consequent inability of the fittings to 

carry engine loads, resulting in the loss 

or departure of an engine. Hydraulic 

embrittlement could cause a throughcrack formation across the fittings 

through which an engine fire could 

breach into the strut, resulting in an 

uncontained strut fire. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by January 18, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

We invite you to send any written 

relevant data, views, or arguments about 

this proposal. Send your comments to 

an address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA– 

2012–1221; Directorate Identifier 2012– 

NM–151–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this proposed AD. We will 

consider all comments received by the 

closing date and may amend this 

proposed AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

We received reports of hydraulic fluid 

contamination in the strut forward dry 

bay caused by the clogged and blocked 

forward strut drain lines not allowing 

fluids (water, fuel, engine oil and 

hydraulic) to drain properly, resulting 

in fluids backing up to the dry bay. The 

presence of hydraulic fluid and 

temperatures above 270 degrees 

Fahrenheit can cause hydrogen 

embrittlement of the titanium forward 

engine mount bulkhead fittings. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result 

in the inability of the forward engine 

mount bulkhead fittings to carry engine 

loads, resulting in the loss or departure 

of an engine; or cause a through-crack 

formation across the fittings through 

which an engine fire could breach into 

the strut, resulting in an uncontained 

strut fire. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Boeing Special 

Attention Service Bulletin 777–54– 

0028, dated May 25, 2012. The service 

information describes procedures for 

repetitive general visual inspections for 

hydraulic fluid contamination of the 

strut forward dry bay, and related 

investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary. Related investigative actions 

include a detailed inspection for 

hydraulic fluid coking, heat 

discoloration, damage to sealant and 

primer, damage to leveling compound, 

cracking, and etching or pitting of the 

interior strut forward dry bay; a detailed 

and high frequency eddy current (HFEC) 

inspection for cracking, etching, or 

pitting of the bulkhead upper and lower 

fittings of the strut forward engine 

mount; and checking drain lines for 

blockage. Corrective actions include 

cleaning and restoring sealant, primer, 

and leveling compound of the detail 

parts in the strut forward dry bay; 

cleaning or replacing drain lines; and 

contacting the manufacturer for repair 

instructions and doing the repair. 

The compliance time for the initial 

inspection is within 600 flight cycles or 

12 months, whichever occurs first. The 

compliance times for the related 

investigative actions are before further 

flight. The compliance times for 

corrective actions vary between before 

further flight, and within 25 flight 

cycles or 10 days, whichever occurs first 

(depending on the condition). The 

repetitive inspection intervals do not 

exceed 1,200 flight cycles. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of these same 

type designs. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously, except as discussed under 

‘‘Differences Between the Proposed AD 

and the Service Information.’’ 

Differences Between the Proposed AD 

and the Service Information 

Although the service bulletin 

specifies that operators may contact the 

manufacturer for disposition of certain 

repair conditions, this proposed AD 

would require operators to repair those 

conditions using a method approved by 

the FAA. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 55 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators 

Repetitive general visual inspections.5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $425 per inspection cycle.$0 $425 per inspection 

cycle.

$23,375 per inspection cycle. 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any actions that would be required 

based on the results of the proposed 

inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these actions. 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Detailed inspection ............................................................ 8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ............................... $0 $680 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with 
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 233 / Tuesday, December 4, 2012 / Proposed Rules 71733 

ON-CONDITION COSTS—Continued 

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Check drain lines (including cleaning or replacing) .......... 5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $425 ............................... 0 425 

Detailed inspection and high frequency eddy current inspection.8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ............................... 0 680 

Clean and restore sealant, primer and leveling compound.8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ............................... 0 680 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide a cost 

estimate for the on-condition repair 

specified in this proposed AD. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this proposed AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

individuals. We do not control warranty 

coverage for affected individuals. As a 

result, we have included all costs in our 

cost estimate. 

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), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

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. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 

2012–1221; Directorate Identifier 2012– 

NM–151–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by January 18, 

2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to The Boeing Company 

Model 777–200 and –300 series airplanes; 

certificated in any category; equipped with 

Pratt & Whitney 4000 engines; as identified

777–54–0028, dated May 25, 2012. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/ 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of America 

Code 54, Nacelles/pylons. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

hydraulic fluid contamination found in the 

strut forward dry bay. We are issuing this AD 

to detect and correct hydraulic fluid 

contamination of the strut forward dry bay, 

which could result in hydrogen 

embrittlement of the titanium forward engine 

mount bulkhead fittings, and consequent 

inability of the fittings to carry engine loads, 

resulting in the loss or departure of an 

engine. Hydraulic embrittlement could cause 

a through-crack formation across the fittings 

through which an engine fire could breach 

into the strut, resulting in an uncontained 

strut fire. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Inspection 

Except as provided by paragraph (h)(1) of 

this AD, at the times specified in paragraph 

1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing Special 

Attention Service Bulletin 777–54–0028,

applicable related investigative and 

corrective actions at the times specified in 

paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 777–54– 

0028, dated May 25, 2012. 

(h) Exceptions 

(1) Where the Compliance time column of 

paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing 

Service Bulletin 777–54–0028, dated May 25, 

2012, refers to the compliance time ‘‘after the 

original issue date of this service bulletin,’’ 

this AD requires compliance within the 

specified compliance time after the effective 

date of this AD. 

(2) Where Boeing Special Attention Service 

Bulletin 777–54–0028, dated May 25, 2012, 

specifies to contact Boeing for repair: Except

Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with 
71734 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 233 / Tuesday, December 4, 2012 / Proposed Rules 

777–54–0028, dated May 25, 2012, specifies 

a compliance time of ‘‘within 25 flight-cycles 

or 10 days, whichever occurs first,’’ this AD 

requires compliance within 25 flight cycles 

or 10 days after the most recent inspection 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD, 

whichever occurs first. 

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs)

Meeting Procedures 

(a) The meetings will be open to all 

persons on a space-available basis. 

There will be no admission fee or other 

charge to attend and participate. 

(b) The meetings will be informal in 

nature and will be conducted by one or 

more representatives of the FAA Eastern 

Service Area. Each participant will be 

given an opportunity to make a 

presentation, although a time limit may 

be imposed. Each person wishing to 

make a presentation to the FAA panel 

will be asked to sign in so those time 

frames can be established. The meetings 

may be adjourned at any time if all 

persons present have had an 

opportunity to speak. 

(c) Position papers or other handout 

material relating to the substance of 

these meetings will be accepted. 

Participants submitting handout 

materials should present an original and 

two copies to the presiding officer. 

There should be an adequate number of 

copies for distribution to all 

participants. 

(e) These meetings will not be 

formally recorded. However, a summary 

of comments made at the meetings will

need to remain until the end. Following

opportunity to comment on any NPRM 

published on this matter.
