Airworthiness Directives; Airbus 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 Airbus Model A300 series airplanes; Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R,
and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F
airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes). This
proposed AD was prompted by a report that cracking was found in area 2
of the frame base fittings between frame 41 and frame 46. This proposed
AD would require a check of maintenance records to determine if certain
repairs were done in area 1 of the frame brace fittings, and, for
affected airplanes, a detailed inspection for cracking in area 2 of the
frame base fittings between frame 41 and frame 46, and repair if
necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracking in
area 2 of the frame base fittings between frame 41 and frame 46, which
could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 28, 2013.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2012-0229, dated October 31, 2012 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    During accomplishment of Airbus SB [service bulletin] A300-53-
6111, which addresses detailed visual inspections of the lower frame
fittings between Frame (FR) 41 and FR 46, on one A300-600 aeroplane
a crack was detected in the area 2 of the foot of frame FR 46 at
junction radius level.
    This frame, that was previously repaired due to a crack finding
in the area 1, was not due to be inspected before reaching the post-
repair inspection threshold, i.e., 45,400 FC [flight cycles], from
repair embodiment.
    It has been determined that the current repairs proposed in
Airbus SB A300-53-6111 and Airbus [SB] A300-53-0337 are of limited
effect to prevent cracking in the area 2 of the lower frame
fittings.
    Consequently, as a temporary action and until an improvement of
the existing repairs is made available, this [EASA] AD requires a
one-time detailed visual inspection [for cracking] of [the] frame
base fittings that were repaired in accordance with Airbus SB A300-
53-0337, original issue or Rev. 1, or Airbus SB A300-53-6111
original issue up to Rev. 4 * * *.

    The unsafe condition is cracking in the frame base fittings, which
could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane. The
required actions include repairing any cracking found. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A53W001-12,
dated July 4, 2012, including Appendices 1, 2, and 3. The actions
described in this service information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI

    Although EASA AD 2012-0229, dated October 31, 2012, specifies to
contact the manufacturer for instructions to repair certain conditions,
this proposed AD would require repairing those conditions using a
method approved by either the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or EASA (or its delegated agent).

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 124 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 4 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $42,160, or $340 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take up to 350 work-hours and require parts costing up to $56,469 for a
cost of $86,219 per product. We have no way of determining the number
of products that may need these actions.

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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede the following ADs:
     AD 2015-14-07, Amendment 39-18205 (80 FR 42014, July 16,
2015) (``AD 2015-14-07''). AD 2015-14-07 applied to certain Model 787-8
airplanes.
     AD 2016-07-10, Amendment 39-18455 (81 FR 18741, April 1,
2016) (``AD 2016-07-10''). AD 2016-07-10 applied to all Model 787-8 and
787-9 airplanes.
     AD 2016-24-09, Amendment 39-18726 (81 FR 86912, December
2, 2016) (``AD 2016-24-09''). AD 2016-24-09 applied to all Model 787-8
and 787-9 airplanes.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on January 2, 2020 (85
FR 23). The NPRM was prompted by deficiencies in the FCM software,
including reports that, in certain weather conditions, erroneous low
airspeed data may be displayed to the flightcrew before detection and
annunciation via engine-indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS)
messages, a report indicating that all three FCMs might simultaneously
reset if continuously powered on for 22 days,

and one report of unannunciated dual symmetric inboard slat skew. The
NPRM proposed to require installing FCE CBP5 software, which would also
address the identified unsafe conditions and terminate the requirements
of the ADs superseded by this AD. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
deficiencies in the FCM software that could prevent continued safe
flight and landing; to prevent unrealistic, sudden drops in displayed
airspeed at high actual airspeed, which could lead to pilot control
inputs that could exceed the structural capability of the airplane; to
prevent simultaneous resets of all three FCMs, which could result in
flight control surfaces not moving in response to flight crew inputs
for a short time and consequent temporary loss of controllability; and
to address potential unannunciated dual symmetric inboard slat skew,
which can result in adverse handling characteristics of the aircraft.

Changes Since the NPRM Was Issued

    The FAA has reviewed Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-
SB270044-00 RB, Issue 002, dated July 7, 2020 (the FAA referred to
Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB270044-00 RB, Issue
001, dated December 18, 2018, as an appropriate source of service
information for accomplishing the actions specified in the NPRM) and
has revised this AD to refer to Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin
B787-81205-SB270044-00 RB, Issue 002, dated July 7, 2020. This service
information removes a certain airplane line number from the
effectivity; otherwise, there is no substantive change from Issue 001,
dated December 18, 2018. The FAA has added paragraph (p) to this AD to
provide credit for actions done prior to the effective date of this AD
using Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB270044-00 RB,
Issue 001, dated December 18, 2018. Subsequent paragraphs have been
redesignated accordingly.

Explanation of Concurrent Requirements

    This AD requires the accomplishment of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin B787-81205-SB270039-00, Issue 002, dated March 8, 2018, prior
to or concurrently with the software installation specified in
paragraph (n)(1) of this AD. AD 2019-08-05, Amendment 39-19626 (84 FR
18707, May 2, 2019) (``AD 2019-08-05'') also requires the
accomplishment of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270039-00,
Issue 002, dated March 8, 2018, prior to or concurrently with the
installation of hydraulic tubing and a pressure-operated check valve,
which corrects a different unsafe condition; so the concurrent
requirement is in both ADs. The compliance time for this AD is shorter
than the compliance time for AD 2019-08-05.

Explanation of Changes to Paragraphs (n) and (o) of This AD

    The FAA revised paragraph (n)(3) of this AD and removed paragraph
(n)(4) of this AD. This revision clarifies the compliance time for
installation of a new displays and crew alerting (DCA) system and
maintenance system (MS) software, clarifies ``later-approved version''
in regard to DCA MS software, and clarifies that this action applies
only to certain airplanes. The FAA also revised the introductory text
to paragraph (n) of this AD to clarify the applicable actions.
    The FAA also revised paragraphs (o)(1) and (2) of this AD which
clarify ``later-approved version'' in regard to CBP5 and DCA MS CBP4
software.

Explanation of Changes to Paragraph (q)(3) of This AD

    The FAA revised paragraph (q)(3) of this AD to clarify the
terminating action. The intent of paragraph (q)(3) of this AD is to
require the removal of figure 1 to paragraph (k) of this AD after the
actions required by paragraph (n) or (o) of this AD have been
accomplished on all affected airplanes in an operator's fleet.
Accomplishment of these actions then terminates paragraph (k) of this
AD for all affected airplanes in an operator's fleet.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the NPRM

    The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) stated its
support for the NPRM. United Airlines indicated no objection to the
NPRM.

Request To Clarify What Prompted the Unsafe Condition

    Boeing asked that a clarification of the number of occurrences of
unannunciated dual symmetric inboard slat skew events be added to the
relevant sections in the proposed AD. Boeing stated that there has only
been a single unannunciated dual symmetric inboard slat skew event.
    The FAA agrees with the commenter's request for clarification,
because there has only been one occurrence of an unannunciated dual
symmetric inboard slat skew. The FAA has revised the SUMMARY,
Discussion section, and paragraph (e) of this AD accordingly. However,
the section titled ``Actions Since ADs 2015-14-07, 2016-07-10, and
2016-24-09 Were Issued,'' which was included in the proposed AD, is not
carried over in this final rule.
    Boeing also asked that the FAA differentiate the number of
occurrences of unannunciated dual symmetric inboard slat skew from the
outboard slat skew issue, which is the subject of AD 2019-20-07. Boeing
noted that the potential for unannunciated dual symmetric inboard slat
skew, addressed by this AD, is not related to the outboard slat skew
issue that is the subject of that AD.
    Although the FAA agrees that the issues are not related, that
clarification is not required in the content of this AD. Therefore, the
FAA has not changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Allow Installation of Later-Approved Software Versions

    Boeing asked that the FAA allow installation of later-approved FCE
software in lieu of the ``FCM CBP5'' software identified in Boeing
Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB270044-00 RB, Issue 001, dated
December 18, 2018. Boeing stated that the use of ``later-approved
software'' language was used in AD 2019-08-05, Amendment 39-19626 (84
FR 18707, May 2, 2019) (``AD 2019-08-05'') (referenced in the proposed
AD), and will reduce the need for alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) requests for future FCM software updates.
    The FAA disagrees with the commenter's request because the Actions
Required for Compliance section in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin
B787-81205-SB270044-00 RB, Issue 001, dated December 18, 2018, already
includes an allowance for installation of a later-approved software
part number. Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB270044-00
RB, Issue 002, dated July 7, 2020, also includes that allowance.
Therefore, the FAA has not changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Identify Certain Required for Compliance (`RC') Actions

    Boeing asked that the FAA revise paragraph (n)(2) of the proposed
AD to specify accomplishment of only the concurrent or prior actions
identified as RC in the service bulletin. Boeing stated that
installation of the ``CMCF LDI DB'' [central maintenance computer
function (CMCF) loadable diagnostic information (LDI) database (DB)]
software is not required to correct the unsafe condition.

Boeing added that AD 2019-08-05 specifies the applicable service
bulletin actions identified as RC.
    The FAA agrees with the commenter's request, because installation
of the CMCF LDI DB software is not required to correct the unsafe
condition. If that software were cited in the requirements of this AD,
any update to this software would require approval of an AMOC. The FAA
has changed paragraph (n)(2) of this AD to specify doing only the
applicable actions (including software installation) that are
identified as RC.

Request To Clarify Intent of AD

    Boeing asked that the FAA change paragraph (e) of the proposed AD
to clarify that the AD is also prompted by the need to provide
terminating action for the three ADs that are superseded by this AD.
Boeing stated that this change clarifies the intent of the AD.
    The FAA agrees with the commenter's request to change the text in
paragraph (e) of this AD. The FAA agrees that this AD is terminating
action for the interim actions identified in two of the superseded ADs:
2016-07-10 and 2016-24-09. The superseding of those prior ADs implies
that this AD mitigates the unsafe condition of those prior ADs. This AD
was prompted by reports of an identified unsafe condition that this AD
is intended to correct. The FAA has revised the SUMMARY, Discussion
section, and paragraph (e) of this AD to include the unsafe conditions
that prompted the superseded ADs, since this AD also addresses those
unsafe conditions.

Request To Include Credit for Previously Accomplished Actions

    American Airlines (AA) asked for the addition of credit for
previous software installations done using the following service
information.
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270039-00,
Issue 001, dated July 31, 2017.
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270039-00,
Issue 001, dated July 31, 2017, in conjunction with Boeing Information
Notice B787-A-27-00-0039-01A-931E-D, Issue 001, dated September 7,
2017.
    AA stated that equivalent credit was granted in paragraphs (i)(3)
and (4) of AD 2019-08-05 (which the FAA notes also requires the
concurrent installation of certain software in accordance with Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270039-00, Issue 002, dated March
8, 2018), although AD 2019-08-05 is unrelated to the NPRM.
    The FAA does not agree with the commenter's request. The latest
version of the CMCF software specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
B787-81205-SB270039-00, Issue 002, dated March 8, 2018, must be
installed concurrently with the FCE CBP5 software in order for the
maintenance system to work properly. Therefore, the FAA has not changed
this AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this AD with the changes described previously, and
minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 78 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The compliance time has passed for the retained requirements in
this AD, so all affected airplanes should already be in compliance with
those requirements. Therefore, this AD imposes no additional financial
burden on any U.S. operator.
    However, if a noncompliant airplane is imported and placed on the
U.S. Register in the future, the FAA estimates the following costs to
comply with the retained actions:

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA has determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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

a. Removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-14-07, Amendment 39-18205
(80 FR 42014, July 16, 2015); AD 2016-07-10, Amendment 39-18455 (81 FR
18741, April 1, 2016); and AD 2016-24-09, Amendment 39-18726 (81 FR
86912, December 2, 2016); and
0
b. Adding the following new AD:

2020-20-09 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-21265; Docket No. FAA-
2019-0989; Product Identifier 2019-NM-097-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective November 13, 2020.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces the ADs identified in paragraphs (b)(1) through
(3) of this AD.
    (1) AD 2015-14-07, Amendment 39-18205 (80 FR 42014, July 16,
2015) (``AD 2015-14-07'').
    (2) AD 2016-07-10, Amendment 39-18455 (81 FR 18741, April 1,
2016) (``AD 2016-07-10'').
    (3) AD 2016-24-09, Amendment 39-18726 (81 FR 86912, December 2,
2016) (``AD 2016-24-09'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 787-8 and 787-9
airplanes, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight
Controls.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by deficiencies in the FCM software,
including reports that, in certain weather conditions, erroneous low
airspeed data may be displayed to the flightcrew before detection
and annunciation via engine-indicating and crew alerting system
(EICAS) messages, a report indicating that all three FCMs might
simultaneously reset if continuously powered on for 22 days, and one
report of unannunciated dual symmetric inboard slat skew. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address deficiencies in the FCM software that
could prevent continued safe flight and landing; to prevent
unrealistic, sudden drops in displayed airspeed at high actual
airspeed, which could lead to pilot control inputs that could exceed
the structural capability of the airplane; to prevent simultaneous
resets of all three FCMs, which could result in flight control
surfaces not moving in response to flight crew inputs for a short
time and consequent temporary loss of controllability; and to
address potential unannunciated dual symmetric inboard slat skew,
which can result in adverse handling characteristics of the
aircraft.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Retained FCM Software Installation Requirement of AD 2015-14-07,
