Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-13-
05, which applies to certain Boeing Model 747-400F series airplanes. AD 
2005-13-05 currently requires inspections for cracking of the web, 
upper chord, and upper chord strap of the upper deck floor beams, and 
repair of any cracking. AD 2005-13-05 also requires a preventive 
modification of the upper deck floor beams, and repetitive inspections 
for cracking after accomplishing the modification. Since we issued AD 
2005-13-05, the upper chords of the upper deck floor beams at certain 
stations have been determined to be structures that are susceptible to 
widespread fatigue damage, and certain airplanes with an initial 
modification require a second modification for the airplane to meet its 
limit of validity (LOV). This proposed AD would require that second 
modification and repetitive inspections for cracking and repair if 
necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue 
cracking in certain upper chords of the upper deck floor beam, which 
could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane and rapid 
decompression or reduced controllability of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 9, 2014.

Discussion

    Structural fatigue damage is progressive. It begins as minute 
cracks, and those cracks grow under the action of repeated stresses. 
This can happen because of normal operational conditions and design 
attributes, or because of isolated situations or incidents such as 
material defects, poor fabrication quality, or corrosion pits, dings, 
or scratches. Fatigue damage can occur locally, in small areas or 
structural design details, or globally. Global fatigue damage is 
general degradation of large areas of structure with similar structural 
details and stress levels. Multiple-site damage is global damage that 
occurs in a large structural element such as a single rivet line of a 
lap splice joining two large skin panels. Global damage can also occur 
in multiple elements such as adjacent frames or stringers. Multiple-
site-damage and multiple-element-damage cracks are typically too small 
initially to be reliably detected with normal inspection methods. 
Without intervention, these cracks will grow, and eventually compromise 
the structural integrity of the airplane, in a condition known as 
widespread fatigue damage (WFD). As an airplane ages, WFD will likely 
occur, and will certainly occur if the airplane is operated long enough 
without any intervention.
    The FAA's WFD final rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) became 
effective on January 14, 2011. The WFD rule requires certain actions to 
prevent structural failure due to WFD throughout the operational life 
of certain existing transport category airplanes and all of these 
airplanes that will be certificated in the future. For existing and 
future airplanes subject to the WFD rule, the rule requires that design 
approval holders (DAHs) establish LOV of the engineering data that 
support the structural maintenance program. Operators affected by the 
WFD rule may not fly an airplane beyond its LOV, unless an extended LOV 
is approved.
    The WFD rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) does not require 
identifying and developing maintenance actions if the DAHs can show 
that such actions are not necessary to prevent WFD before the airplane 
reaches the LOV. Many LOVs, however, do depend on accomplishment of 
future maintenance actions. As stated in the WFD rule, any maintenance 
actions necessary to reach the LOV will be mandated by airworthiness 
directives through separate rulemaking actions.
    In the context of WFD, this action is necessary to enable DAHs to 
propose LOVs that allow operators the longest operational lives for 
their airplanes, and still ensure that WFD will not occur. This 
approach allows for an implementation strategy that provides 
flexibility to DAHs in determining the timing of service information 
development (with FAA approval), while providing operators with 
certainty regarding the LOV applicable to their airplanes.
    On June 10, 2005, we issued AD 2005-13-05, Amendment 39-14141 (70 
FR 35989, June 22, 2005) for certain Boeing Model 747-400F series 
airplanes. AD 2005-13-05 requires initial detailed and open-hole high 
frequency eddy current inspections for cracking of the web, upper 
chord, and upper chord strap of the upper deck floor beams, and repair 
of any cracking. AD 2005-13-05 also requires a preventive modification 
of the upper deck floor beams, and repetitive inspections for cracking 
after accomplishing the modification. AD 2005-13-05 resulted from 
reports of fatigue cracking found on the upper deck floor beam to frame 
attachment points. We issued AD 2005-13-05 to prevent fatigue cracks in 
the upper chord, upper chord strap, and the web of the upper deck floor 
beams and resultant failure of the floor beams.

Actions Since AD 2005-13-05, Amendment 39-14141 (70 FR 35989, June 22, 
2005) Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2005-13-05, Amendment 39-14141 (70 FR 35989, 
June 22, 2005), we received reports that indicate that the upper chords 
of the upper deck floor beams at stations (STA) 340 through 520 have 
been determined to be structures that are susceptible to widespread 
fatigue damage, and airplanes that had an initial modification done 
before 15,000 total flight cycles require a second fastener hole zero-
timing modification for the airplane to meet its LOV.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2443, Revision 2, dated 
August 2, 2013. For information on the procedures and compliance times, 
see

[[Page 16243]]

this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for 
Docket No. FAA-2014-0170.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant 
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is 
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain all of the requirements of AD 2005-
13-05, Amendment 39-14141 (70 FR 35989, June 22, 2005). This proposed 
AD would also require accomplishing the actions specified in the 
service information described previously.

Difference Between This Proposed AD and Service Information

    The service bulletin specifies to contact the manufacturer for 
instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this proposed AD 
would require repairing those conditions in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the 
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial 
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have 
authorized to make those findings.

Explanation of Compliance Time

    The compliance time for the modification specified in this proposed 
AD for addressing WFD was established to ensure that discrepant 
structure is modified before WFD develops in airplanes. Standard 
inspection techniques cannot be relied on to detect WFD before it 
becomes a hazard to flight. We will not grant any extensions of the 
compliance time to complete any AD-mandated service bulletin related to 
WFD without extensive new data that would substantiate and clearly 
warrant such an extension.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 13 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

 (proposed action).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide 
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed 
AD. 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 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),
    (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.
