Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 90-11-05 for 
certain Airbus Model A300 B2-1C, B2K-3C, B2-203, B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-
203 airplanes and Model A300 B4-600 series airplanes. AD 90-11-05 
required repetitive detailed inspections for cracking in the aft hinge 
brackets of the outer shroud box that is located in the outer wing box, 
and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This new 
AD changes certain compliance times and adds airplanes to the 
applicability. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in the aft 
hinge brackets of the outer shroud box that is located in the outer 
wing box, which were found during routine maintenance checks, and our 
subsequent determination that a change in inspection compliance times 
is needed. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the 
aft hinge brackets of the outer shroud box; such cracking could affect 
the structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 20, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of October 20, 
2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to supersede AD 90-11-05, Amendment 39-6603 (89-NM-223-AD) (55 
FR 20129, May 15, 1990) (``AD 90-11-05''). AD 90-11-05 applied to 
certain Airbus Model A300 B2-1C, B2K-3C, B2-203, B4-2C, B4-103, and B4 
203 airplanes and Model A300 B4-600 series airplanes. The NPRM 
published in the Federal Register on December 14, 2015 (80 FR 77279) 
(``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that a change 
to certain compliance times is needed. The NPRM proposed to continue to 
require doing repetitive detailed inspections for cracking in the hinge 
brackets of the forward and aft outer shroud boxes that are located in 
the outer wing box, and related investigative and corrective actions if 
necessary. The NPRM also proposed to change certain compliance times 
and add airplanes to the applicability. We are issuing this AD to 
detect and correct cracking of the aft hinge brackets of the outer 
shroud box; such cracking could affect the structural integrity of the 
airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2013-0181R1, dated August 20, 2013 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Model A300 
series airplanes and Model A300 B4-600 series airplanes. The MCAI 
states:

    In the past, aft hinge brackets of the outer wing box were found 
cracked. Fracture of a bracket would allow vertical movement of the 
inner shroud box structure, which could result in damage to the top 
skin of the inboard flap. In addition, the loads carried by the 
brackets will be transferred to the remaining supports, which may 
also crack and cause extensive structural damage.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could affect the 
structural integrity of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, DGAC [Direction 
G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation Civile] France issued * * * [an 
airworthiness directive] (later revised) to require repetitive 
inspections of the hinge bracket of the outer box and, depending on 
findings, corrective action(s).
    Since that [DGAC] AD was issued, a fleet survey and updated 
Fatigue and Damage Tolerance analysis were performed in order to 
substantiate the A300 Extended Service Goal (ESG) and A300-600 
Extended Service Goal (ESG2) exercise.
    The results of these analyses led to a change in the inspection 
thresholds and intervals in Flight Cycles (FC) and the introduction 
of Flight Hours (FH) limits.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the 
requirements of DGAC France * * * [an airworthiness directive], 
which is superseded, but requires those actions within the new 
thresholds and intervals given by Airbus Service Bulletin (SB) A300-
57-0142 Revision 04 or A300-57-6010 Revision 05, as applicable to 
aeroplane model.
    Revision 1 of this [EASA] AD is issued to add model A300 B4-203 
aeroplanes to the applicability and compliance time tables. This 
model is covered by Airbus SB A300-57-0142, but was mistakenly 
omitted from the original [EASA] AD issue.

    The corrective action for a hinge bracket that is cracked or 
fractured is replacing the damaged hinge bracket with a new bracket.
    For airplanes on which a crack is found in one half bracket or both 
half brackets, related investigative actions include a general visual 
inspection for secondary damage (e.g., cracks, wear damage, pitting, 
and gouging) in the following areas:
    <bullet> The inner shroud-box forward attachments and the 
attachment brackets at the inboard end.
    <bullet> The inner and outer shroud-box structure, adjacent to the 
fractured bracket.
    <bullet> The top skin of the inboard flap.
    The corrective action for damage findings during the related 
investigative action is repair using a method approved by the Manager, 
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or 
EASA; or Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA).
    The compliance time for related investigative actions and 
corrective actions is before further flight.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
6550.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and 
the FAA's response to the comment.

Request To Exclude Certain Airplanes From the Applicability

    FedEx requested that we exclude from the proposed applicability 
airplanes on which the actions specified in Airbus Service Bulletin 
A300-57-6011, Revision 2, dated July 10, 1989, have been accomplished. 
FedEx stated that it has accomplished the optional terminating actions 
provided in paragraph (j)(1) of the proposed AD, and specified in 
Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6011, Revision 2, dated July 10, 1989, 
on several of its airplanes.
    We disagree with FedEx's request. As of the effective date of this 
AD, additional actions are required for airplanes on which the optional 
modification has been accomplished. These airplanes will need to have a 
one-time detailed visual inspection of the forward and aft outer shroud 
box with no cracking found, as required by paragraph (j)(2) of this AD. 
We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Changes Made to This AD

    In paragraph (j)(2) of the proposed AD, we proposed to provide an 
optional method of compliance (i.e., a replacement and a one-time 
inspection) for actions specified in paragraph (g) of the proposed AD. 
We also proposed to give credit in paragraph (k)(2) of the proposed AD 
for replacements accomplished before the effective date of this AD 
using the same service information identified in paragraph (j)(2) of 
the AD:
    <bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-143, dated December 17, 
1986.
    <bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-143, Revision 1, dated 
March 19, 1987.
    <bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6011, dated December 17, 
1986.
    <bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6011, Revision 1, dated 
March 19, 1987.
    Since we cannot make this service information reasonably available, 
we have revised paragraph (j)(2) of the proposed AD, removed redundant 
paragraph (k)(2) of the proposed AD from this AD, and redesignated 
paragraph (k)(1) and subsequent subparagraphs accordingly. We revised 
paragraph (j)(2) of this AD by removing the references to the service 
information and instead specified that operators must do the 
replacement using a method approved by the Manager, International 
Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or EASA; or 
Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA).

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and 
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have 
determined that these minor changes:
    <bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and

[[Page 63372]]

    <bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued the following service information.
    <bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-0142, Revision 04, dated 
March 30, 2011, which describes procedures for doing an inspection of 
the forward and aft hinge brackets on the outer shroud box.
    <bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-143, Revision 2, dated 
July 10, 1989, which describes procedures for replacing the aft 
aluminum alloy brackets on the outer shroud box with new steel 
brackets.
    <bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6010, Revision 05, dated 
February 21, 2011, which describes procedures for doing an inspection 
of the forward and aft hinge brackets on the outer shroud box.
    <bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6011, Revision 2, dated 
July 10, 1989, which describes procedures for replacing the aft

brackets.
    This service information is reasonably available because the 
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of 
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 3 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements 
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have 
no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these 
replacements:

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

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide 
cost estimates for the on-condition related investigative and 
corrective actions specified in this AD.

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 determined that this AD will not have federalism implications 
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 this AD:
    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.
