Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company 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 

The Boeing Company Model 777–200 

and –300 series airplanes equipped with 

Rolls-Royce Trent 800 series engines. 

This proposed AD was prompted by a 

report of multiple cases of heat damage 

to the strut aft fairing heat shield 

primary seal, as well as heat and wear 

damage to the heat shield insulation 

blankets. This proposed AD would 

require repetitive inspections for heat 

damage to the strut aft fairing lower spar 

web structure (a flammable fluid zone 

barrier and fire wall) and heat shield 

primary seal, and heat and wear damage 

to heat shield insulation blankets; and 

related investigative and corrective 

actions if necessary. This proposed AD 

would also provide optional terminating 

action for the repetitive inspections. We 

are proposing this AD to detect and 

correct heat damage to the strut aft 

fairing lower spar web structure and 

heat shield primary seal, as well as heat 

and wear damage to the heat shield 

insulation blankets, which could lead to 

through-cracks in the aft fairing web 

structure and heating of the aft fairing 

web structure, and consequent 

uncontrolled fire in the aft fairing, fuel 

tank ignition or possible departure of 

the engine, and subsequent loss of the 

airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by April 27, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Fax: 202–493–2251. 

• Mail: U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Docket Operations, M– 

30, West Building Ground Floor, Room 

W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., 

Washington, DC 20590. 

• Hand Delivery: Deliver to Mail 

address above between 9 a.m. and 

5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays.
