Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2022-06-16, which applies to all The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-
100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400,
747-400D, and 747-400F series airplanes. AD 2022-06-16 requires
revising the limitations and operating procedures sections of the
existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to incorporate specific operating
procedures for takeoff, instrument landing system (ILS) approaches,
non-precision approaches, and go around and missed approaches, when in
the presence of 5G C-Band interference as identified by Notices to Air
Missions (NOTAMs). Since the FAA issued AD 2022-06-16, the FAA
determined that additional limitations are needed due to the continued
deployment of new 5G C-Band base stations whose signals are expected to
cover most of the contiguous United States at transmission frequencies
between 3.7-3.98 GHz. This proposed AD would require revising the
limitations section of the existing AFM to incorporate limitations
requiring specific operating procedures, and would retain the operating
procedures for takeoff, ILS approaches, non-precision approaches, and
go around and missed approaches from AD 2022-06-16, due to the presence
of 5G C-Band interference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 23,
2023.

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 regulations.gov. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     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.
    AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-0922; or in person at Docket Operations between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD
docket contains this NPRM, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for Docket Operations is listed above.

Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Brett
Portwood, Continued Operational Safety Technical Advisor, COS Program
Management Section, Operational Safety Branch, FAA, 3960 Paramount
Boulevard, Lakewood, CA 90712-4137; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email:
[email protected]. Any commentary that the FAA receives that is
not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket
for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2021-23-12, Amendment 39-21810 (86 FR 69984,
December 9, 2021) (AD 2021-23-12), for all transport and commuter
category airplanes equipped with a radio altimeter. AD 2021-23-12 was
prompted by a determination that radio altimeters cannot be relied upon
to perform their intended function if they experience interference from
wireless broadband operations in the 3.7-3.98 GHz frequency band (5G C-
Band). AD 2021-23-12 requires revising the limitations section of the
existing AFM to incorporate limitations prohibiting certain operations
requiring radio altimeter data when in the presence of 5G C-Band
interference as identified by NOTAMs. The agency issued AD 2021-23-12
because radio altimeter anomalies that are undetected by the automation
or pilot, particularly close to the ground (e.g., landing flare), could
lead to loss of continued safe flight and landing.
    The FAA subsequently identified an additional hazard presented by
5G C-Band interference on The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B,
747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D,
and 747-400F series airplanes and issued AD 2022-06-16, Amendment 39-
21982 (87 FR 14780, March 16, 2022) (AD 2022-06-16). AD 2022-06-16 was
prompted by a determination that, during takeoff, approach, landings,
and go-arounds, as a result of 5G C-Band interference, certain airplane
systems may not properly function, resulting in increased flightcrew
workload while on approach with the flight director, autothrottle, or
autopilot engaged. AD 2022-06-16 requires revising the limitations and
operating procedures sections of the existing AFM to incorporate
specific operating procedures for takeoff, ILS approaches, non-
precision approaches, and go around and missed approaches, when in the
presence of 5G C-Band interference as identified by Notices to Air
Missions (NOTAMs). The agency issued AD 2022-06-16 to address 5G C-Band
interference that could result in increased flightcrew workload and
could lead to reduced ability of the flightcrew to maintain safe flight
and landing of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2022-06-16 Was Issued

    Since issuing AD 2022-06-16, the FAA determined that additional
limitations are needed due to the continued deployment of new 5G C-Band
base stations whose signals are expected to cover most of the
contiguous United States at transmission frequencies between 3.7-3.98
GHz. Therefore, the FAA issued an NPRM, Docket No. FAA-2022-1647 (88 FR
1520, January 11, 2023) (the NPRM), proposing to supersede AD 2021-23-
12. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to retain most of the operational
prohibitions required by AD 2021-23-12 until June 30, 2023; on or
before June 30, 2023, operators would be required to revise their
existing AFM to prohibit these operations unless the airplane has a
radio altimeter meeting proposed minimum performance levels (a defined
power spectral density (PSD) curve as well as a defined aggregate
spurious emission level) and is operating at a 5G C-Band mitigated
airport (5G CMA). In the NPRM, the FAA also proposed to require all
airplanes operating under 14 CFR part 121 to have a radio altimeter
meeting the proposed minimum performance standards by February 1, 2024.
    Since the NPRM was published, the FAA has determined that a PSD
curve is a more appropriate method to define performance than a single
fixed emission level. The proposed PSD curve more accurately reflects
differences in radio altimeter susceptibility to interfering emissions
at different altitude levels. The FAA plans to issue guidance on how to
show compliance with both the fundamental PSD curve and spurious PSD
curve, including the data to be submitted, for the FAA to approve the
method used.

    AD 2022-06-16 relies on the FAA's use of NOTAMs to identify 5G C-
band interference at certain airports in the U.S. airspace. As
explained in more detail in the NPRM, those NOTAMs are no longer the
best means of communicating the location of the 5G C-Band environment.
Therefore, this proposed AD would retain the AFM limitations required
by AD 2022-06-16 until June 30, 2023. On or before June 30, 2023, this
proposed AD would require operators to replace the limitations with
limitations prohibiting the same operations, except the prohibitions
would not be tied to NOTAMs but instead would depend on whether the
airplane is operated at a 5G CMA as identified by an FAA Domestic
Notice. Because the 5G C-Band Interference operating procedure required
by AD 2022-06-16 does not reference NOTAMs, this proposed AD would
retain that operating procedure requirement with no change.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain the AFM revisions required by AD
2022-06-16, until June 30, 2023. On or before June 30, 2023, this
proposed AD would require replacing those AFM revisions with
limitations requiring the same procedures for dispatch or release to
airports, and takeoff, approach, landing, and go-around on runways at
all airports for non-radio altimeter tolerant airplanes. For radio
altimeter tolerant airplanes, the procedures would not be required at
5G CMAs as identified in an FAA Domestic Notice. The minimum
performance levels in this proposed AD for determining whether an
airplane is radio altimeter tolerant are the same minimum performance
levels proposed in the NPRM, except the FAA has replaced the proposed
fixed emission level with a proposed PSD curve emission threshold that
more accurately reflects differences in radio altimeter susceptibility
to interfering emissions at different altitude levels.
    Paragraph (k)(3) of this proposed AD specifies that AMOCs approved
for AD 2021-23-12 providing relief for specific radio altimeter
installations would be approved as AMOCs for the requirements specified
in paragraph (h) of this proposed AD until June 30, 2023. After June
30, 2023, operators with AMOCs approved for AD 2021-23-12 would be
required to incorporate the 5G C-Band Interference operating procedure
specified in paragraph (h)(2) of this proposed AD. The new AFM
limitations, which would be required by paragraph (i) or (j) of this
proposed AD, specify that operators must comply with this 5G C-Band
Interference operating procedure.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would be an
interim action. Once the Technical Standard Order (TSO) standard for
radio altimeters is established, which will follow the existing
international technical consensus on the establishment of the minimum
operational performance standards (MOPS), the FAA anticipates that the
MOPS will be incorporated into the TSO. The FAA also anticipates that
aircraft incorporating equipment approved under the new Radio Altimeter
TSO will be able to operate in both 5G CMAs and non-5G CMAs with no 5G
C-Band-related AFM limitations. Once a new radio altimeter TSO is
developed, approved, and available, the FAA might consider additional
rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The cost information below describes the costs to change the AFM.
Although this proposed AD would largely maintain the AFM limitations
currently required by AD 2022-06-16, the FAA acknowledges that this
proposed AD may also impose costs on some aircraft operators from
having to change their conduct to comply with the amended AFM. However,
the FAA lacks the data necessary to quantify the costs associated with
aircraft operators changing their conduct. The FAA is seeking public
comment on these costs so the agency can more fully account for the
impact of this regulatory action.
    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 137 airplanes of U.S. registry.\1\ The FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this proposed AD:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This is the number of Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-
100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D,
and 747-400F series airplanes on the FAA's registry as of December
1, 2022.
    \2\ The labor rate of $85 per hour is the average wage rate for
an aviation mechanic.
    \3\ The estimated cost for this revision would not constitute a
significant economic impact (even for small entities) because $85 is
a minimal cost compared to the regular costs of maintaining and
operating a Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-
200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, or 747-400F transport
category 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.
    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 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would 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

category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 34, Navigation.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a determination that radio altimeters
cannot be relied upon to perform their intended function if they
experience interference from wireless broadband operations in the
3.7-3.98 GHz frequency band (5G C-Band), and a determination that
during takeoff, approach, landings, and go-arounds, as a result of
this interference, certain airplane systems may not properly
function, resulting in increased flightcrew workload while on
approach with the flight director, autothrottle, or autopilot
engaged. The FAA is issuing this AD to address 5G C-Band
interference that could result in increased flightcrew workload and
could lead to reduced ability of the flightcrew to maintain safe
flight and landing of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Definitions

    (1) For purposes of this AD, a ``5G C-Band mitigated airport''
(5G CMA) is an airport at which the telecommunications companies
have agreed to voluntarily limit their 5G deployment at the request
of the FAA, as identified by an FAA Domestic Notice.
    (2) For purposes of this AD, a ``radio altimeter tolerant
airplane'' is one for which the radio altimeter, as installed,
demonstrates the tolerances specified in paragraphs (g)(2)(i) and
(ii) of this AD, using a method approved by the FAA.
    (i) Tolerance to radio altimeter interference, for the
fundamental emissions (3.7-3.98 GHz), at or above the power spectral
density (PSD) curve threshold specified in figure 1 to paragraph
(g)(2)(i) of this AD.
