Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directives (AD) 2006-21-
08, AD 2007-14-01, AD 2008-25-02, AD 2010-04-09, AD 2011-01-02, and AD 
2012-16-05, for certain Airbus Model A330 and 340 series airplanes. AD 
2006-21-08, AD 2007-14-01, AD 2008-25-02, AD 2010-04-09, AD 2011-01-02, 
and AD 2012-16-05 currently require revising the maintenance program or 
inspection program to incorporate certain maintenance requirements and 
airworthiness limitations for fuel tank systems. Since we issued AD 
2006-21-08, AD 2007-14-01, AD 2008-25-02, AD 2010-04-09, AD 2011-01-02, 
and AD 2012-16-05, we have determined that more restrictive maintenance 
requirements and airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed 
AD would require a new maintenance or inspection program revision. We 
are proposing this AD to prevent the potential of ignition sources 
inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, 
could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the 
airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 14, 2014.

Discussion

    On October 10, 2006, we issued AD 2006-21-08, Amendment 39-14793 
(71 FR 61639, October 19, 2006), for certain Airbus Model A330-200, 
A340-200, and A340-300 airplanes. AD 2006-21-08 requires installation 
of heat shields in the belly fairing of the center fuselage. AD 2006-
21-08 resulted from fuel system reviews conducted by the

[[Page 11020]]

manufacturer. We issued AD 2006-21-08 to prevent exposing any fuel 
leaked from the center fuel tank to the hot temperature areas of the 
air conditioning packs, which could result in a fire and consequent 
fuel tank explosion.
    On June 25, 2007, we issued AD 2007-14-01, Amendment 39-15123 (72 
FR 38006, July 12, 2007), for all Airbus Model A330 and A340 airplanes. 
AD 2007-14-01 requires revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section 
(ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to 
incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems. AD 2007-14-01 
resulted from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We 
issued AD 2007-14-01 to prevent the potential of ignition sources 
inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors 
caused by latent failures, alterations, repairs, or maintenance 
actions, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of 
the airplane.
    On November 26, 2008, we issued AD 2008-25-02, Amendment 39-15760 
(73 FR 75307, December 11, 2008), for all Airbus Model A330 airplanes, 
and Model A340-200 and A340-300 airplanes. AD 2008-25-02 requires 
inspecting P-clips in the wings, modifying the electrical bonding of 
the equipment installed in fuel tanks, and applying applicable 
corrective actions. AD 2008-25-02 resulted from fuel system reviews 
conducted by the manufacturer. We issued AD 2008-25-02 to prevent the 
potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination 
with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and 
consequent loss of the airplane.
    On February 5, 2010, we issued AD 2010-04-09, Amendment 39-16202 
(75 FR 7940, February 23, 2010; corrected March 3, 2010 (75 FR 9515)), 
for certain Airbus Model A330-200 series airplanes, and Model A340-200 
and A340-300 series airplanes. AD 2010-04-09 requires the installation 
of plugs on the heat shield panels of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand 
(RH) air conditioning packs. AD 2010-04-09 resulted from the 
development of a repair solution by the manufacturer. We issued AD 
2010-04-09 to prevent fuel from the center tank leaking through holes 
in the heat shield panels, which could cause vapor to develop into a 
potential source of ignition, possibly resulting in a fuel tank 
explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
    On December 17, 2010, we issued AD 2011-01-02, Amendment 39-16555 
(76 FR 432, January 5, 2011), for certain Airbus Model A330-201, -202, 
-203, -223, and -243 airplanes; certain Airbus Model A330-300 series 
airplanes; and all Airbus Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes. AD 
2011-01-02 requires installing flight warning computer (FWC) software 
on both FWCs. AD 2011-01-02 resulted from fuel system reviews conducted 
by the manufacturer. We issued AD 2011-01-02 to prevent failure of the 
auxiliary power unit (APU) bleed leak detection system, which could 
result in overheat of the fuel tank located in the horizontal 
stabilizer and ignition of the fuel vapors in that tank and consequent 
loss of the airplane.
    On July 31, 2012, we issued AD 2012-16-05, Amendment 39-17152 (77 
FR 48425, August 14, 2012), for certain Airbus Model A330-200 and -200 
freighter series airplanes; and Model A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and 
A340-600 series airplanes. AD 2012-16-05 requires modification of the 
control circuit for the fuel pumps for the center fuel tanks for 
certain airplanes, and center and rear fuel tanks for certain other 
airplanes. AD 2012-16-05 resulted from fuel system reviews conducted by 
the manufacturer. We issued AD 2012-16-05 to prevent the potential of 
ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with 
flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and 
consequent loss of the airplane.

Actions Since Previously Described ADs Were Issued

    Since we issued AD 2006-21-08, Amendment 39-14793 (71 FR 61639, 
October 19, 2006); AD 2007-14-01, Amendment 39-15123 (72 FR 38006, July 
12, 2007); AD 2008-25-02, Amendment 39-15760 (73 FR 75307, December 11, 
2008); AD 2010-04-09, Amendment 39-16202 (75 FR 7940, February 23, 
2010; corrected March 3, 2010 (75 FR 9515)); AD 2011-01-02, Amendment 
39-16555 (76 FR 432, January 5, 2011); and AD 2012-16-05, Amendment 39-
17152 (77 FR 48425, August 14, 2012); we have determined that more 
restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations are 
necessary.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2012-0168, dated August 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:

    Prompted by an accident [involving a fuel tank system explosion 
in flight] * * * the FAA published Special Federal Aviation 
Regulation (SFAR) 88 (66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001) and the Joint 
Aviation Authorities (JAA) published Interim Policy INT/POL/25/12. 
The design review conducted Airbus to develop Fuel Airworthiness 
Limitations (FAL) for Airbus on A330 and A340 aeroplanes in response 
to these regulations.
    The FAL * * * have been approved by the European Aviation Safety 
Agency (EASA) * * * ALS Part 5.
    Failure to comply with items as identified in Airbus A330 and 
A340 ALS Part 5 could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent 
loss of the aeroplane.
    To address this condition, EASA issued:
    EASA AD 2007-0023, dated January 25, 2007 (http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2007-0023), which corresponds to FAA AD 2007-
14-01, Amendment 39-15123 (72 FR 38006, July 12, 2007) to require 
compliance with FAL * * * (comprising maintenance/inspection tasks 
and Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL)) for 
A330 aeroplanes, and
    EASA AD 2006-0205, dated July 11, 2006 (http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2006-0205), which also corresponds to FAA AD 
2007-14-01, Amendment 39-15123 (72 FR 38006, July 12, 2007) to 
require compliance with FAL * * * (comprising maintenance/inspection 
tasks and Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL)) 
for Airbus A340 aeroplanes.
    All other EASA ADs * * * required accomplishment of aeroplane 
modifications related to Fuel Tank Safety items, the requirements 
and compliance times of which are now integrated into ALS Part 5.
    For the reasons described above this [EASA] AD * * * requires 
the implementation of the new or more restrictive maintenance 
requirements and/or airworthiness limitations as specified in the 
revision 00 of Airbus A340 ALS Part 5.

The unsafe condition is the potential of ignition sources inside fuel 
tanks. Such ignition sources, in combination with flammable fuel 
vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the 
airplane. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at 
http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating it in Docket 
No. FAA-2014-0060.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued A330 ALS Part 5--Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, 
dated November 16, 2011. The actions described in this service 
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in 
the MCAI.

Related Rulemaking

    We have issued AD 2013-26-03, Amendment 39-17712 (78 FR 79292, 
December 30, 2013), for Airbus Model A340 airplanes to require revising 
the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate certain 
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. AD 2013-26-03 
terminates

[[Page 11021]]

the requirements of the following ADs for Model A340 airplanes only:
     AD 2006-21-08, Amendment 39-14793 (71 FR 61639, October 
19, 2006);
     AD 2007-14-01, Amendment 39-15123 (72 FR 38006, July 12, 
2007);
     AD 2008-25-02, Amendment 39-15760 (73 FR 75307, December 
11, 2008);
     AD 2010-04-09, Amendment 39-16202 (75 FR 7940, February 
23, 2010; corrected March 3, 2010 (75 FR 9515));
     AD 2011-01-02, Amendment 39-16555 (76 FR 432, January 5, 
2011); and
     AD 2012-16-05, Amendment 39-17152 (77 FR 48425, August 14, 
2012).
    Because AD 2013-26-03, Amendment 39-17712 (78 FR 79292, December 
30, 2013), terminates the requirements of the preceding ADs and 
requires new airworthiness limitations for Airbus Model A340 series 
airplanes, we have not included Airbus Model A340 series airplanes in 
the applicability of this proposed AD. This proposed AD applies only to 
the Airbus Model A330 series airplanes specified in paragraph (c) of 
this proposed AD.

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 these 
same type designs.
    This proposed AD would retain none of the requirements of the ADs 
listed below, because those requirements are now contained in Airbus 
A330 ALS Part 5--Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, dated November 16, 
2011:
     AD 2006-21-08, Amendment 39-14793 (71 FR 61639, October 
19, 2006).
     AD 2007-14-01, Amendment 39-15123 (72 FR 38006, July 12, 
2007).
     AD 2008-25-02, Amendment 39-15760 (73 FR 75307, December 
11, 2008).
     AD 2010-04-09, Amendment 39-16202 (75 FR 7940, February 
23, 2010; corrected March 3, 2010 (75 FR 9515)).
     AD 2011-01-02, Amendment 39-16555 (76 FR 432, January 5, 
2011).
     AD 2012-16-05, Amendment 39-17152 (77 FR 48425, August 14, 
2012).
    This proposed AD would require implementation of certain 
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. This proposed 
AD would also require accomplishing the actions specified in the 
service information described previously, except as discussed under 
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service 
Information.''
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator 
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and 
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance 
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For 
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in 
the areas addressed by these actions, the operator may not be able to 
accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this situation, 
to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for 
an alternative method of compliance according to the procedures 
specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. The request should include a 
description of changes to the required actions that will ensure the 
continued operational safety of the airplane.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service 
Information

    This NPRM proposes to incorporate Airbus A330 ALS Part 5--Fuel 
Airworthiness Limitations, dated November 16, 2011, including ``the 
specified compliance times'' for the actions. However, the compliance 
times in this proposed AD for certain initial actions is different from 
those specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 5--Fuel Airworthiness 
Limitations, dated November 16, 2011, because the actions were required 
by the ADs identified in the paragraph titled ``Related Rulemaking'' in 
this AD. Therefore, the initial compliance time is relative to the 
effective date of the applicable superseded AD, as specified in 
paragraph (h) of this NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 80 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to 
comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average 
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $0 per 
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed 
AD on U.S. operators to be $6,800, or $85 per product.

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 proposed 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.

unless already done.

(g) Maintenance Program Revision and Airworthiness Limitations 
Compliance

    (1) Within 3 months after the effective date of this AD, revise 
the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, by 
incorporating Airbus A330 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) 
Part 5--Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, dated November 16, 2011.
    (2) Comply with all applicable instructions and airworthiness 
limitations included in Airbus A330 ALS Part 5--Fuel Airworthiness 
Limitations, dated November 16, 2011. The initial compliance times 
for the actions specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 5--Fuel 
Airworthiness Limitations, dated November 16, 2011, are at the later 
of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(2)(i) and (g)(2)(ii) of 
this AD, except as required by paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD.

    (ii) Within 3 months after accomplishing the actions required by 
paragraph (g)(1) of this AD.

(h) Exceptions to Compliance Times for Design Changes

    (1) For type design changes specified in ``Sub-part 5-2 Changes 
to Type Design,'' of Airbus A330 ALS Part 5--Fuel Airworthiness 
Limitations, dated November 16, 2011, the compliance times are 
defined as ``Embodiment Limits,'' except as defined in paragraph 
(h)(2) of this AD.
    (2) Where Airbus A330 ALS Part 5--Fuel Airworthiness 
Limitations, dated November 16, 2011, specifies a compliance time 
based on a calendar date for modifying the control circuit for the 
fuel pump of the center fuel tank (installing ground fault
