Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 747 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the 
products listed above. This AD requires repetitive inspections for 
cracking in the body skin around the aft corners of the nose wheel 
well; for certain airplanes, repetitive inspections for cracking in the 
skin splice plate at the aft corners of the nose wheel well; and 
related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD also 
requires repetitive post-modification inspections for cracking in the 
body skin and the skin splice plate; for certain airplanes, an 
inspection for steel cross-shaped doublers on the larger aluminum 
doublers; and corrective action if necessary. This AD also requires 
repetitive surface high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of a 
certain bulkhead outer chord, skin splice plate, and outer chord radius 
filler for cracking; repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of 
the bulkhead frame web and body skin; and corrective actions if 
necessary. This AD provides for optional terminating action for certain 
repetitive inspections. This AD was prompted by reports of cracking of 
the fuselage skin and adjacent internal skin splice plate at the left 
and right nose wheel well aft corners, and the outer chord of the body 
station (BS) 400 bulkhead. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct 
cracking of the fuselage skin or splice plate, which, together with 
cracking of the bulkhead outer chord, could result in large skin cracks 
and subsequent in-flight rapid decompression of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective February 1, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of February 1, 
2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to 
the specified products. That NPRM published in the Federal Register on 
July 8, 2010 (75 FR 39189). That NPRM proposed to require repetitive 
inspections for cracking in the body skin around the aft corners of the 
nose wheel well; for certain airplanes, repetitive inspections for 
cracking in the skin splice plate at the aft corners of the nose wheel 
well; and related investigative and corrective actions if

[[Page 81431]]

necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require repetitive post-
modification inspections for cracking in the body skin and the skin 
splice plate; for certain airplanes, an inspection for steel cross-
shaped doublers on the larger aluminum doublers; and corrective action 
if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require repetitive surface high 
frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of a certain bulkhead outer 
chord, skin splice plate, and outer chord radius filler for cracking; 
repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of the bulkhead frame web 
and body skin; and corrective actions if necessary. That NPRM also 
proposed to provide for optional terminating action for certain 
repetitive inspections.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal 
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Revise Paragraph (r) of the NPRM

    Boeing requested that we revise paragraph (r) of the NPRM to note 
that the threshold of the initial inspection, in accordance with Boeing 
Document No. D6-35022, Volumes 1 and 2 ``Supplemental Structural 
Inspection Document (SSID) for Model 747 Airplanes,'' Revision G, dated 
December 2000, Item F-4, remains as given in AD 2004-07-22 R1 (73 FR 
1052, January 7, 2008) (A correction to AD 2004-07-22 R1 was published 
in the Federal Register on February 14, 2008 (73 FR 8589)). Boeing 
stated that while the inspection method and intervals provided in 
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2305, Revision 2, dated January 
15, 2009, are alternative methods of compliance (AMOCs) to Revision G 
of the Model 747 SSID, Item F-4, the requirement to comply with the 
SSID inspection threshold remains as given in AD 2004-07-22 R1.
    We disagree with the request to revise paragraph (r) of this AD to 
include the requested notation. Paragraph (r) of this AD does not 
provide any indication of change to the initial inspection threshold 
for the initial inspection according to Revision G of the Model 747 
SSID, Item F-4. As the commenter stated, the inspection threshold for 
Item F-4 remains as given in AD 2004-07-22 R1. Paragraph (b) of this AD 
also indicates that no other AD is affected by this AD. No change has 
been made to the AD in this regard.

Request To Include Alternative Inspection Procedures as AMOCs or To 
Extend the Grace Period

    Japan Airlines (JAL) requested approval of an AMOC for inspections 
for airplanes that have been previously repaired. JAL stated that 14 of 
its Model 747-400 airplanes have had repair doublers already installed 
in the affected areas that deviate from Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 
747-53A2305, Revision 2, dated January 15, 2009; therefore, alternative 
inspection procedures are necessary for the repaired structure. JAL 
stated that it will have to obtain AMOC approval for each of its 14 
airplanes. JAL also stated that since it takes additional work for both 
JAL and Boeing to obtain the AMOC approval, an exception should be 
allowed to admit all of the existing repairs as an AMOC for the 
proposed actions. JAL also proposed the alternative of an approval 
letter from the FAA for their existing repairs before the effective 
date of the AD. As an alternative, JAL requested a grace period to 
allow an extended compliance time for the inspection of previously 
repaired airplanes.
    We disagree with the request for AMOC approval for previously 
repaired airplanes and for a grace period. An AMOC cannot be included 
in an AD, because an AMOC can be written for an AD only after the AD is 
published. Because the repairs previously done on these 14 airplanes 
can be unique to each airplane and are different from the repair 
requirements of this AD, each instance will need to be re-evaluated for 
this AD as an AMOC to ensure continued operational safety. However, 
under the provisions of paragraph (u) of this AD, after the AD is 
published we will consider requests for approval of an alternative 
method of compliance if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate 
that the previous repairs would provide an acceptable level of safety.
    We also disagree with the request to include a grace period. A 
grace period of 1,500 flight hours from the effective date of this AD 
was already included in paragraphs (k), (o), and (r) of this AD.
    No change has been made to this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 160 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 
13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive 
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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.
