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 747–8 and 

747–8F airplanes. This proposed AD 

was prompted by an analysis, which 

determined that in a limited flight 

envelope with specific conditions, 

divergent flutter could occur during a 

high g-load maneuver in combination 

with certain system failures. This 

proposed AD would require replacing 

the lateral control electronic (LCE)

modules, replacing the inboard elevator 

power control packages (PCPs), 

installing new external compensators 

for the PCPs, and revising the 

maintenance or inspection program. We 

are proposing this AD to prevent certain 

system failures from resulting in 

divergent flutter, and subsequent loss of 

continued safe flight and landing. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by February 2, 2015.

Discussion 

It was determined by analysis that, 

within a limited speed/Mach/altitude 

envelope and with specific payload and 

fuel conditions, divergent flutter could 

occur on Model 747–8 and 747–8F 

airplanes with 0% tail fuel during a 

high g-load maneuver (>1.6 g) in 

combination with any of the following 

system failures: 

• Dual hydraulic failure resulting in a 

free outboard (OB) aileron, free inboard 

(IB) elevator, and free OB elevator; 

• Dual electrical system failure 

resulting in both OB ailerons free; 

• System failures resulting in a free 

OB aileron; 

• System failures resulting in a free IB 

elevator; and 

• Latent excessive IB elevator 

freeplay. 

We are proposing this AD to prevent 

certain system failures from resulting in 

divergent flutter, and subsequent loss of 

continued safe flight and landing. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed the following service 

information. For information on the 

procedures and compliance times, see

27A2506, February 3, 2014. 

• Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747– 

27A2513, Revision 1, dated July 18, 

2014. 

We have also reviewed Boeing 747–8/ 

8F Certification Maintenance 

Requirements (CMRs) Document 

D011U721–02–03, Revision December 

2013, which contains the following 

tasks in Section G., ‘‘CMR Tasks:’’ 

• Item Numbers 27–CMR–10, 

‘‘Lubricate inboard elevator hinge 

bearings.’’ 

• Item Number 27–CMR–11, 

‘‘Functional check of inboard elevator 

hinge bearing and power control unit 

rod end bearing freeplay.’’ 

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 the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information identified 

previously. 

Explanation of Applicability, 

Compliance Time, and Repetitive 

Intervals 

The applicability in paragraph (c) and 

the compliance times and repetitive 

intervals in paragraph (i) of this 

proposed AD are based on airplane 

utilization. Model 747–8 airplanes 

referred to as Boeing Business Jets 

(BBJs) are designated as low utilization 

airplanes and are maintained under a 

Boeing Manufacturer’s Recommended 

Program (MRP). The Boeing MRP is 

limited to airplanes operated less than 

1,200 flight hours per calendar year. 

Therefore, this proposed AD has 

different implementation task intervals 

and repetitive intervals for these low 

utilization airplanes due to unique 

operations. 

Explanation of ‘‘RC’’ Steps in Service 

Information 

The FAA worked in conjunction with 

industry, under the Airworthiness 

Directives Implementation Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee, to enhance the 

AD system. One enhancement was a 

new process for annotating which steps 

in the service information are required 

for compliance with an AD. 

Differentiating these steps from other 

tasks in the service information is 

expected to improve an owner’s/

operator’s understanding of crucial AD 

requirements and help provide 

consistent judgment in AD compliance. 

The actions specified in the service 

information described previously 

include steps that are labeled as RC 

(required for compliance) because these 

steps have a direct effect on detecting, 

preventing, resolving, or eliminating an 

identified unsafe condition. 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
75102 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 242 / Wednesday, December 17, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

As noted in the specified service 

information, steps labeled as RC must be 

done to comply with the proposed AD. 

However, steps that are not labeled as 

RC are recommended. Those steps that 

are not labeled as RC may be deviated 

from, done as part of other actions, or 

done using accepted methods different 

from those identified in the service 

information without obtaining approval 

of an alternative method of compliance 

(AMOC), provided the steps labeled as 

RC can be done and the airplane can be 

put back in a serviceable condition. Any 

substitutions or changes to steps labeled 

as RC will require approval of an 

AMOC. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 8 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 

Replacement of LCEs ..................................... 4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ............. $0 $340 $2,720 

Replacement of IB elevator PCPs and installation of external IB elevator compensators.57 work-hours × $85 per hour = $4,845 ........ 44,894 49,739 397,912 

Revision to maintenance or inspection program.1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ................. 0 85 680 

According to the manufacturer, all 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.
