Airworthiness Directives; Boeing 

Model 747 Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede three existing airworthiness 

directives (ADs) that apply to certain 

Boeing Model 747 airplanes. The 

existing ADs currently require repetitive 

inspections of the body station (BS) 

2598 bulkhead, and corrective action if 

necessary. This proposed AD would add 

a requirement to modify the bulkhead, 

including a one-time inspection and 

corrective action if necessary, which 

would terminate certain repetitive 

inspections. This proposed AD would 

also require a post-modification 

inspection of the modified area. This 

proposed AD results from new reports 

of cracking in all three areas that require 

inspection in accordance with the 

existing ADs. We are proposing this AD 

to prevent fatigue cracking of the BS 

2598 bulkhead structure, which could 

result in inability of the structure to 

carry horizontal stabilizer flight loads, 

and reduced controllability of the 

airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by December 5, 2005.
