Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-
200, and A340-300 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) that applies to all Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300,
A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes. The existing AD currently
requires a revision of the airplane flight manual to include procedures
for a pre-flight elevator check before each flight, repetitive
inspections for cracks of the attachment lugs of the mode selector
valve position transducers on the elevator servo controls, and
corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD would retain the
existing requirements, reduce the applicability of the existing AD, and
add terminating actions. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would
require upgrading the flight control primary computers. This proposed
AD results from cracks of the transducer body at its attachment lugs.
We are proposing this AD to ensure proper functioning of the elevator
surfaces, and to prevent cracking of the attachment lugs, which could
result in partial loss of elevator function and consequent reduced
controllability of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 26,
2007.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov.
 Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2007-0229;
Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-042-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov
, including any personal information you provide. We

will also post a report summarizing each

substantive verbal contact we receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    On February 2, 2004, we issued AD 2004-03-24, amendment 39-13468
(69 FR 6549, February 11, 2004), for all Airbus Model A330-200, A330-
300, A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes. That AD requires a
revision of the airplane flight manual to include procedures for a pre-
flight elevator check before each flight, repetitive inspections for
cracks of the attachment lugs of the mode selector valve position
transducers on the elevator servo controls, and corrective actions if
necessary. That AD resulted from a report of cracks of the transducer
body at its attachment lugs. We issued that AD to ensure proper
functioning of the elevator surfaces, and to detect and correct
cracking of the attachment lugs, which could result in partial loss of
elevator function and consequent reduced controllability of the
airplane.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    The preamble to AD 2004-03-24 explains that we consider the
requirements ``interim action'' and were considering further
rulemaking. We now have determined that further rulemaking is indeed
necessary, and this proposed AD follows from that determination.

                                concurrently with the actions specified
                                in Goodrich Actuation Systems Service
                                Bulletin SC4800-27-16.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Airbus Service Bulletin A340-27-4131 refers to Airbus Vendor
Service Bulletins LA2K0-27-017 and LA2K1-27-009, both dated January 25,
2005, as additional sources of service information for upgrading the
FCPCs.
    Airbus Service Bulletins A330-27-3128 and A340-27-4129 refer to
Goodrich Actuation Systems Service Bulletin SC4800-27-16, Revision 3,
dated May 19, 2006, as an additional source of service information for
accomplishing the modification of the four elevator servo controls.
    Accomplishing the actions specified in Airbus Service Bulletin
A330-27-3128 or A340-27-4129, as applicable, Goodrich Actuation Systems
Service Bulletin SC4800-27-16, and TRW Service Bulletin SC4800-27-34-
09, if required, would cancel the requirements of AD 2004-03-24.
Accomplishing the actions specified in the service information is
intended to adequately address the unsafe condition. The European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the
Member States of the European Community, mandated the service
information and issued airworthiness directive 2007-0011, dated January
9, 2007, to ensure the continued airworthiness of these airplanes in
the European Union.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    These airplanes are manufactured in France and are type
certificated for operation in the United States under the provisions of
section 21.29 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and
the applicable bilateral airworthiness agreement. As described in FAA
Order 8100.14A, ``Interim Procedures for Working with the European
Community on Airworthiness Certification and Continued Airworthiness,''
dated August 12, 2005, the EASA has kept the FAA informed of the
situation described above. We have examined the EASA's findings,
evaluated all pertinent information, and determined that AD action is
necessary for airplanes of this type design that are certificated for
operation in the United States.
    This proposed AD would supersede AD 2004-03-24 and would retain the
requirements of the existing AD. This proposed AD also would require
accomplishing the actions specified in service information described
previously. Accomplishing the actions specified in Airbus Service
Bulletin A330-27-3128 or A340-27-4129, as applicable, Goodrich
Actuation Systems Service Bulletin SC4800-27-16, and TRW Service
Bulletin SC4800-27-34-09, if required, would constitute terminating
action for the retained requirements of 2004-03-24. This proposed AD
also would remove airplanes from the applicability of the existing AD.

Changes to Existing AD

    This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2004-03-24.
Since AD 2004-03-24 was issued, the AD format has been revised, and
certain paragraphs have been rearranged. As a result, the corresponding
paragraph identifiers have changed in this proposed AD, as listed in
the following table:

                      Revised Paragraph Identifiers
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                           Corresponding  requirement in
      Requirement in AD 2004-03-24               this proposed  AD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paragraph (a)...........................  Paragraph (f).
Paragraph (b)...........................  Paragraph (g).
Paragraph (c)...........................  Paragraph (h).
Paragraph (d)...........................  Paragraph (i).
Paragraph (e)...........................  Paragraph (j).
Paragraph (f)...........................  Paragraph (k).
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    AD 2004-03-24 affects all Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-
200, and A340-300 series airplanes. The applicability of this proposed
AD would

exclude those airplanes on which a reinforced mode selector valve has
been installed, which parallels the applicability of EASA airworthiness
directive 2007-0011.

Costs of Compliance

    The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators
of the affected Model A330-200 and A330-300 series airplanes to comply
with this proposed AD.

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inspection (new proposed action)            1          $80  $80................           29  $2,320.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, there are no affected Model A340-200 and A340-300 series
airplanes on the U.S. Register. However, if an affected airplane is
imported and placed on the U.S. Register in the future, the proposed
upgrade of the FCPCs would take about 2 work hours, at an average labor
rate of $80 per work hour. The manufacturer states that it would supply
required parts to the operators at no cost. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of this proposed AD for Model A340-200 and A340-300
series airplanes to be $160 per airplane.

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 have 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 that the 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); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the
ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from a report of cracks of the transducer
body at its attachment lugs. We are issuing this AD to ensure proper
functioning of the elevator surfaces, and to prevent cracking of the
attachment lugs, which could result in partial loss of elevator
function and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

Compliance

    (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Requirements of AD 2004-03-24

Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision

    (f) Within 30 days after February 26, 2004 (the effective date
of AD 2004-03-24), revise the Limitations section of the AFM to
include a pre-flight elevator check, by including the following
language. This may be done by inserting a copy of this AD into the
applicable AFM. Thereafter perform the pre-flight check before every
flight in accordance with the procedure.

Prior or During Taxi

``FLIGHT CONTROLS--CHECK

    1. AT A CONVENIENT STAGE, PRIOR TO OR DURING TAXI, AND BEFORE
ARMING THE AUTOBRAKE, THE PF SILENTLY APPLIES FULL LONGITUDINAL AND
LATERAL SIDESTICK DEFLECTION. ON THE F/CTL PAGE, THE PNF CHECKS FULL
TRAVEL OF ALL ELEVATORS AND ALL AILERONS, AND THE CORRECT DEFLECTION
AND RETRACTION OF ALL SPOILERS. THE PNF CALLS OUT ``FULL UP,''
``FULL DOWN,'' ``NEUTRAL,'' ``FULL LEFT,'' ``FULL RIGHT,''
``NEUTRAL,'' AS EACH FULL TRAVEL/NEUTRAL POSITION IS REACHED. THE PF
SILENTLY CHECKS THAT THE PNF CALLS ARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
SIDESTICK ORDER.
    NOTE: IN ORDER TO REACH FULL TRAVEL, FULL SIDESTICK MUST BE HELD
FOR A SUFFICIENT PERIOD OF TIME.
    2. THE PF PRESSES THE PEDAL DISC PUSHBUTTON ON THE NOSEWHEEL
TILLER, AND SILENTLY APPLIES FULL LEFT RUDDER, FULL RIGHT RUDDER,
AND NEUTRAL. THE PNF CALLS OUT ``FULL LEFT,'' ``FULL RIGHT,''
``NEUTRAL,'' AS EACH FULL TRAVEL/NEUTRAL POSITION IS REACHED.
    3. THE PNF APPLIES FULL LONGITUDINAL AND LATERAL SIDESTICK
DEFLECTION, AND SILENTLY CHECKS FULL TRAVEL AND CORRECT SENSE OF ALL
ELEVATORS AND ALL AILERONS, AND CORRECT DEFLECTION AND RETRACTION OF
ALL SPOILERS, ON THE ECAM F/CTL PAGE.''

    Note 1: Full and complete elevator travel (position commanded)
can be verified on the ECAM Flight Control Page. A determination of
``correct sense'' should include verification that there is complete
and full motion of the sidesticks without binding.

    (g) If any pre-flight check required by paragraph (f) of this AD
reveals improper function of the elevator: Before further flight,
perform the inspections required by paragraph (h) of this AD.

Inspections

    (h) At the applicable time specified in paragraph (h)(1) or
(h)(2) of this AD, except as required by paragraph (g) of this AD:
Perform a dye penetrant inspection of the attachment lugs of the
mode selector valve position transducers on each elevator servo
control installed at damping positions 3CS1 and 3CS2. Do the
inspection in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Airbus Service Bulletin A330-27A3115 or A340-27A4119, both Revision
02, both dated December 30, 2003, as applicable (in paragraphs (h)
through (k) of this AD, referred to as ``the service bulletin''). An
inspection that is done before February 26, 2004, is acceptable for
compliance with the initial inspection requirement of this
paragraph, if the inspection is done in accordance with any of the
following Airbus All Operators Telexes (AOTs): AOT A330-27A3115 or
A340-27A4119, dated September 11, 2003, or Revision 01 of each AOT
dated September 25, 2003; as applicable. Repeat the inspection
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 350 flight cycles, until the
applicable actions required by paragraphs (m) and (n) of this AD
have been done.
    (1) If the age of the servo control from the date of its first
installation on the airplane can be positively determined: Do the
inspection before the accumulation of 1,000 total flight cycles on
the elevator servo control, or within 350 flight cycles on the servo
control after February 26, 2004, whichever occurs later.
    (2) If the age of the servo control from the date of its first
installation on the airplane cannot be positively determined, do the
inspection within 350 flight cycles on the servo control after
February 26, 2004.

    Note 2: The service bulletin refers to Goodrich Actuation
Systems Inspection Service Bulletin SC4800-27-13 as an additional
source of service information for the inspection.
