Airworthiness Directives; Lockheed Martin Corporation/Lockheed 
Martin Aeronautics Company Model L-1011 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for 
certain Model L-1011 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require 
repetitive inspections for cracking of the wing rear spar and upper 
surface zones, and repair if necessary. This proposed AD results from a 
damage tolerance analysis conducted by the manufacturer indicating that 
fatigue cracking could occur in those areas. We are proposing this AD 
to detect and correct such fatigue cracking, which could result in 
cracking that grows large enough to reduce the wing strength below 
certificated requirements and possibly cause fracture of the rear spar, 
resulting in extensive damage to the wing and possible fuel leaks.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 7, 
2011.

Discussion

    We previously issued AD 94-05-01, Amendment 39-8839 (59 FR 10275, 
March 4, 1994), and AD 2000-21-01, Amendment 39-11933 (65 FR 62994, 
October 20, 2000), which require modifications to extend the life of 
the wing rear spar inboard area. The modifications required by those 
two ADs removed cracks in the wing upper skin and installed repair 
bushings as necessary. The lower spar cap was modified by adding nested 
angles and cold working the attachment holes.
    Based upon a damage tolerance analysis, additional inspections are 
required to ensure the structural integrity of the structure modified 
in accordance with those two ADs as well as the adjoining baseline 
structure. If cracking is undetected and unrepaired, it could result in 
cracking that grows large enough to reduce the wing strength below 
certificated requirements and possibly cause fracture of the rear spar, 
resulting in extensive damage to the wing and possible fuel leaks.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Lockheed Service Bulletin 093-57-226, dated August 
31, 2009. This service bulletin describes procedures for repetitive 
eddy current non-destructive inspections (NDI) and detailed inspections 
for cracking of the wing rear spar and upper surface zones. The service 
bulletin identifies inspections for the airplane models in the zones 
identified in the following table, titled ``Inspections.''

[[Page 58417]]

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

     For airplanes on which cracking is found during any inspection, 
this service information specifies a bolt hole eddy current inspection 
to verify the cracking. The corrective actions for cracking include 
repairing cracking if the cracking is within specified limits, or 
contacting the manufacturer for repair instructions if the cracking is 
not within specified limits.

Related Rulemaking

    AD 94-05-01, Amendment 39-8839 (59 FR 10275, March 4, 1994), and AD 
2000-21-01, Amendment 39-11933 (65 FR 62994, October 20, 2000), specify 
structural modification installations on Model L-1011 series airplanes. 
This proposed AD would not change the requirements of AD 94-05-01 and 
AD 2000-21-01. However, this proposed AD would require new inspections 
for structures affected by the modifications required by those two ADs.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of this Proposed AD

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all relevant 
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is 
likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type 
designs. This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions 
specified in Lockheed Service Bulletin 093-57-226, dated August 31, 
2009, described previously.

Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service Information

    This proposed AD specifies initial compliance times and repetitive 
inspection intervals that differ from those contained in Lockheed 
Service Bulletin 093-57-226, dated August 31, 2009. The changes have 
been coordinated with Lockheed Martin and they concur with the FAA's 
position. The compliance times were changes to simplify the inspection 
requirements. We also propose that all crack findings be repaired 
before further flight. We have determined that the compliance times, as 
proposed, represent the maximum interval of time allowable for the 
affected airplanes to continue to safely operate before the inspections 
and repairs, if necessary, are done.
    Although that service bulletin specifies that operators may contact 
the manufacturer for disposition of certain repairs, this proposed AD 
would require operators to repair those conditions in accordance with a 
method approved by the FAA.

Interim Action

    We consider this proposed AD interim action. If final action is 
later identified, we might consider further rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide 
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed 
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

    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

[[Page 58418]]

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.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

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

Lockheed Martin Corporation/Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company: 
Docket No. FAA-2011-0919; Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-088-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by November 7, 2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Lockheed Martin Corporation/Lockheed

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57, Wings.

Unsafe Condition

    (e) This AD results from a damage tolerance analysis conducted 
by the manufacturer that indicates fatigue cracking could occur in 
the wing rear spar and upper surface zones. The Federal Aviation 
Administration is issuing this AD to detect and correct such fatigue 
cracking, which could result in cracking that grows large enough to 
reduce the wing strength below certificated requirements and 
possibly cause fracture of the rear spar, resulting in extensive 
damage to the wing and possible fuel leaks.

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this 
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the 
actions have already been done.

Inspections of Wing Rear Spar and Upper Surface Zones, and Corrective 
Actions

    (g) At the applicable time specified in paragraph (k) of this 
AD, do eddy current non-destructive inspections (NDI) and detailed 
inspections for cracking at the applicable zones specified in 
paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, in accordance with the 
Accomplishment Instructions of Lockheed Service Bulletin 093-57-226, 
dated August 31, 2009. Repeat the inspections thereafter at the 
applicable interval specified in Table 1 of this AD.
    (1) For Model L-1011-385-1, L-1011-385-1-14, and L-1011-385-1-15

Zone 3F.

Additional Inspection if Cracking is Found

    (h) Except as specified in paragraph (j) of this AD, if any 
cracking is detected during any inspection required by paragraph (g) 
of this AD: Before further flight, remove the fastener(s) at the 
suspect area, as defined in Lockheed Service Bulletin 093-57-226, 
dated August 31, 2009; and do a secondary eddy current inspection to 
detect cracking of fastener holes with suspected crack indications; 
in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Lockheed 
Service Bulletin 093-57-226, dated August 31, 2009.

Repair

    (i) Except as specified in paragraph (j) of this AD, if a crack 
finding is confirmed by the inspection required by paragraph (h) of 
this AD and the cracking is within the allowable repair limits 
specified in Lockheed Martin Repair Drawing LCC7622-369, Revision 
March 30, 1995: Before further flight, repair the cracking, in 
accordance with Lockheed Martin Repair Drawing LCC7622-369, Revision

Atlanta Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA. For a repair 
method to be approved by the Manager, Atlanta ACO, as required by 
this paragraph, the Manager's approval letter must specifically 
refer to this AD.

Exception to Service Bulletin

    (j) If any cracking is found during any inspection required by 
this AD, and Lockheed Service Bulletin 093-57-226, dated August 31, 
2009; or Lockheed Martin Repair Drawing LCC7622-369, Revision March 
30, 1995; specifies contacting Lockheed for appropriate action: 
Before further flight, repair the cracking in accordance with a 
method approved by the Manager, Atlanta ACO, FAA. For a repair 
method to be approved by the Manager, Atlanta ACO, as required by 
this paragraph, the Manager's approval letter must specifically 
refer to this AD.

Compliance Times for Inspections

    (k) Do the inspections required by paragraph (g) of this AD at 
the applicable time specified in table 1 of this AD.
