DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee; Transport Airplane and

Engine Issues—New Task

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of a new task assignment

for the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee (ARAC).

SUMMARY: Notice is given of a new task

assigned to and accepted by the

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee (ARAC). This notice informs

the public of the activities of ARAC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Stewart R. Miller, Manager, Transport

Standards Staff, ANM–110, FAA,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The FAA has established an Aviation

Rulemaking Advisory Committee to

provide advice and recommendations to

the FA Administrator, through the

Associate Administrator for Regulation

and Certification, on the full range of

the FAA’s rulemaking activities with

respect to aviation-related issues. This

includes obtaining advice and

recommendations of the FAA’s

commitment to harmonize its Federal

Aviation Regulations (FAR) and

practices with the aviation authorities in

Europe and Canada.

One area ARAC deals with is

Transport Airplane and Engine Issues.

These issues involve the airworthiness

standard for transport category airplanes

in 14 CFR part 25, 33, and 35 and

parallel provisions in 14 CFR parts 121

and 135. The corresponding European

airworthiness standards for transport

category airplanes are contained in Joint

Aviation Requirements (JAR)–25, JAR–E

and JAR–P, respectively. The

corresponding Canadian Standards are

contained in Chapters 525, 533 and 535

respectively.

The Task

This notice is to inform the public

that the FAA has asked ARAC to

provide advice and recommendation on

the following harmonization task:

FAR/JAR 25 Aging Aircraft

1. ARAC is tasked to review the

capability of analytical methods and

their validation; related research work;

relevant full-scale and component

fatigue test data; and tear down

inspection reports, including

fractographic analysis, relative to the

detection of widespread fatigue damage

(WFD). Since aircraft in the fleet

provide important data for determining

where and when WFD is occurring in

the structure, ARAC will review

fractographic data from representative

‘‘fleet leader’’ airplanes. Where

sufficient relevant data for certain

airplane models does not currently

exist, ARAC will recommend how to

obtain sufficient data from

representative airplanes to determine

the extent of WFD in the fleet. The

review should take into account the

Airworthiness Assurance

Harmonization Working Group report

‘‘Structural Fatigue Evaluation for Aging

Aircraft’’ dated October 14, 1993, and

extend its applicability to all transport

category airplanes having a maximum

gross weight greater than 75,000

pounds.

2. ARAC will produce time standards

for the initiation and completion of

model specific programs (relative to the

airplane’s design service goal) to

predict, verify and rectify widespread

fatigue damage. ARAC will also

recommend action that the Authorities

should take if a program, for certain

model airplanes, is not initiated and

completed prior to those time standards.

Actions that ARAC will consider

include regulations to require Type

Certificate holders to develop WFD

programs, modification action,

operational limits, and inspection

requirements to assure structural

integrity of the airplanes. ARAC will

provide a discussion of the relative

merits of each option.

This task should be completed within

18 months of tasking.
