Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Boeing Model 747-100, -200, - 300, and 747SP series airplanes. The existing AD currently requires certain inspections to find missing or alloy-steel taperlock fasteners (bolts) in the diagonal brace underwing fittings, and corrective actions if necessary. For airplanes with missing or alloy-steel fasteners, the existing AD also mandates replacement of certain fasteners with new fasteners, which constitutes terminating action for certain inspections. This proposed AD would expand the applicability to include additional airplane models and would require a new inspection to determine fastener material and to find missing or broken fasteners, and related investigative/corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD is prompted by reports indicating that cracked fasteners made of A286 material were found on airplanes that had only fasteners made of A286 material installed in the area common to the diagonal brace underwing fittings. We are proposing this AD to prevent loss of the underwing fitting load path due to missing or damaged alloy-steel or A286 taperlock fasteners, which could result in separation of the engine and strut from the airplane.
DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 18, 2005.

Discussion
On June 19, 2001, we issued AD 2001-13-06, amendment 39-12286 (66 FR 34094, June 27, 2001), for certain Boeing Model 747-100, -200, -300, and 747SP series airplanes. That AD requires certain inspections to find missing or alloy-steel taperlock fasteners (bolts) in the diagonal brace underwing fittings; and corrective actions, if necessary. For airplanes with missing or alloy-steel fasteners, that AD also mandates replacement of certain fasteners with new fasteners, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspection. That AD was prompted by a report indicating that broken taperlock fasteners (bolts) were found on the diagonal brace underwing fittings on the outboard strut at the Number 1 and Number 4 engine pylons on a Boeing Model 747-200 series airplane having titanium underwing fittings. We issued that AD to prevent loss of the underwing fitting load path due to missing or damaged alloy-steel taperlock fasteners, which could result in separation of the engine and strut from the airplane.
Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued
Since we issued AD 2001-13-06, we have received reports indicating that fractured fasteners have been found on Model 747-200B series airplanes that weren't included in the applicability of the existing AD. The fractured fasteners were made of A286 material, and only fasteners made of that material were installed in the diagonal brace underwing fitting. (After this, this proposed AD refers to fasteners made of A286 material as ``A286 fasteners.'') Previously, cracked or broken A286 fasteners were found only on airplanes that had a combination of alloy-steel and A286 fasteners. Thus, these previous incidents were attributed to overload of the A286 fasteners due to
[[Page 5067]]
fracture of adjacent alloy-steel bolts. Fractured alloy-steel or A286 fasteners could lead to loss of the underwing fitting load path, which could result in separation of the engine and strut from the airplane.
Alloy-steel or A286 fasteners may be installed in the diagonal brace underwing fitting on certain Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747- 100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. Therefore, all of these models and series may be subject to the unsafe condition revealed on the Boeing Model 747-200B series airplanes.
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-57A2312, Revision 1, dated April 29, 2004. The service bulletin describes procedures for performing the following actions for the fasteners in the diagonal brace underwing fittings:
A general visual inspection to ensure that all fasteners are installed and unbroken.
A magnetic inspection to determine fastener material.
If any alloy-steel or A286 fastener is found, repetitive ultrasonic inspections for damage of all 10 aft fasteners (regardless of material).
Replacement of damaged fasteners with new, improved fasteners (including an open-hole eddy current inspection for cracking of the fastener holes, and repair if necessary).
Replacement of all alloy steel and A286 fasteners with new, improved fasteners (including an open-hole eddy current inspection for cracking of the fastener holes, and repair if necessary), which eliminates the need for the repetitive inspections.
If any damage is found that exceeds certain limits, the service bulletin recommends contacting Boeing for appropriate action.
Accomplishing the actions specified in the service information is intended to adequately address the unsafe condition.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD
We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on other products of this same type design. This proposed AD would supersede AD 2001-13- 06. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of the existing AD. This proposed AD would also expand the applicability of the existing AD and require accomplishing the actions specified in the service bulletin described previously, except as discussed under ``Differences Between the Proposed AD and Service Bulletin.''
Differences Between the Proposed AD and Service Bulletin
The service bulletin specifies a magnetic inspection to detect alloy-steel fasteners. We find that a detailed inspection is also necessary to detect A286 fasteners. For the purposes of this AD, an A286 fastener is any fastener to which the magnet is not attracted, and which cannot be conclusively determined to have a part number that begins with BACB30NX (fasteners of T1 material) or BACB30US (fasteners of Inconel material). This difference has been coordinated with the airplane manufacturer, and it agrees with our determination. If Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-57A2312 is revised in the future, the new revision will take into account the proposed requirements of this AD.
If any A286 fastener is found during the inspection to determine material type, the service bulletin specifies that you must do an ultrasonic inspection for damage of all 10 aft fasteners in the diagonal brace underwing fitting. However, this proposed AD would require you to perform an ultrasonic inspection for damage of only alloy-steel and A286 fasteners, unless a cracked (or otherwise damaged) fastener is found. If a cracked or otherwise damaged fastener is found, this proposed AD would require ultrasonic inspection for damage of all 10 aft fasteners. This difference has been coordinated with the airplane manufacturer, and it agrees with our determination. If Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-57A2312 is revised in the future, the new revision will take into account the proposed requirements of this AD.
Figure 1 of the service bulletin recommends that you perform a general visual inspection to ensure that all fasteners are installed and unbroken. We have determined that the procedures needed for this inspection constitute a detailed inspection. Note 1 of this AD defines a detailed inspection. This difference has been coordinated with the airplane manufacturer, and it agrees with our determination. If Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-57A2312 is revised in the future, the new revision will take into account the proposed requirements of this AD.
Section 1.E., Table 1, of the service bulletin specifies an initial inspection threshold of between 11,000 and 29,000 total flight cycles for the inspection to detect A286 fasteners. Section 1.E. of the service bulletin also specifies a grace period of 18 months after the issue date of Revision 1 of the service bulletin. This proposed AD would require compliance prior to the threshold specified in the service bulletin, or within 18 months after the effective date of the AD, whichever occurs later.
The service bulletin specifies that you may contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this proposed AD would require you to repair those conditions in one of the following ways:
Using a method that the Manager of the Seattle Aircraft Certification Office approves; or
Using data that meet the certification basis of the airplane that have been approved by an Authorized Representative for the Boeing Delegation Option Authorization Organization who has been authorized by the FAA to make those findings.
Changes to Existing AD
This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2001-13-06. Since AD 2001-13-06 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

in this proposed AD
Paragraph (a)............................. Paragraph (f). Paragraph (b)............................. Paragraph (g). Paragraph (c)............................. Paragraph (l). Paragraph (d)............................. Paragraph (n).
Also, we have changed all references to a ``detailed visual inspection'' in the existing AD to ``detailed inspection'' in this action. Note 1 defines a ``detailed inspection.''
Costs of Compliance
There are about 739 airplanes of the affected design in the worldwide fleet. The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators to comply with this proposed AD, at an average labor rate of $65 per work hour.

Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart III, section 44701, ``General requirements.'' Under that section, the FAA is charged 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 AD.
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:
-
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866;
-
Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
-
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. 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.
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
