<summary>
<p
style="I10"><head>SUMMARY:</head> This amendment
adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing
Model 747 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive inspections for
cracking of the upper skin of the outboard and center sections of the
horizontal stabilizer and the rear spar structure, hinge fittings, terminal
fittings, and splice plates; and repair if necessary. This action is necessary
to find and fix such cracking, which could lead to reduced structural
capability of the outboard and center sections of the horizontal stabilizer,
and result in loss of controllability of the airplane. This action is intended
to address the identified unsafe condition.</p>

<p style="I85">Related AD</p>
<p style="I11">This AD is related to AD
2002-06-02, <amendment-ref number="39-12678">amendment
39-12678</amendment-ref> (<fr-ref number="67FR12464">67
FR 12464</fr-ref>, March 19, 2002). Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
747-55A2050, dated February 28, 2002, was referenced in that AD as the applicable
source of service information for accomplishment of the required actions. That
AD is applicable to all Boeing Model 747 series airplanes and requires
repetitive inspections for cracking of the upper skin of the horizontal
stabilizer center section and the rear spar upper chord, and repair if
necessary. That AD was prompted by a report that a 3.5-inch crack was found in
the upper skin of the horizontal stabilizer center section on a Boeing Model
747SR series airplane. The actions specified by that AD are intended to find
and fix cracking of the upper skin of the horizontal stabilizer center section
and the rear spar upper chord, which could lead to reduced structural
capability of the horizontal stabilizer center section, and result in loss of
controllability of the airplane.</p>
<p style="I85">Since the Issuance of That
AD</p>
<p style="I11">The FAA has received 22
reports from two operators of cracking found on six Model 747 series airplanes
with between 20,800 and 37,000 total flight cycles, and between 41,700 and
115,700 total flight hours. Of the 22 reports of cracking received, the
cracking specified in 20 of the reports was in an area not covered by the Zone
A inspections required by AD 2002-06-02. One operator reported finding two
fractured and three cracked Maraging steel fasteners on an airplane with
approximately 18,700 total flight cycles and 87,300 total flight hours. Such
cracking, if not fixed, could lead to reduced structural capability of the
outboard and center sections of the horizontal stabilizer, which could result
in loss of controllability of the airplane.</p>
<p style="I85">Explanation of Relevant
Service Information</p>
<p style="I11">We have reviewed and
approved Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-55A2050, Revision 1, dated May 1,
2003, which describes procedures for repetitive inspections for cracking of the
upper skin of the outboard and center sections of the horizontal stabilizer and
the rear spar structure, hinge fittings, terminal fittings, and splice plates;
and repair if necessary. The areas and inspection types are as
follows:</p>
<p style="I11">• Zone A
Inspections (inspections required by AD 2002-06-02): Part 1—Detailed
inspections for cracking in the upper skin of the center section and rear spar
upper chord. Part 2—High frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections
for cracking of the upper skin of the center section and rear spar upper chord.
If no cracking is found, the service bulletin specifies either repeating the
detailed inspection or the doing the Zone A—Part 2 inspection. If
cracking is found, the service bulletin specifies doing the Zone
B—Part 4 inspection and repairing any cracking. Following that
inspection and repair, the service bulletin specifies either repeating the Zone
A—Part 1 detailed inspection or doing the Zone A—Part 2
HFEC inspection.</p>
<p style="I11">• Zone B
Inspections (inspections required by this AD):</p>
<p style="I11">Part
3—Nondestructive test (NDT) inspections for Groups 1, 2, and 3
airplanes: Includes an ultrasonic inspection for cracking of the outboard and
center sections, rear spar upper <folio-break>38584</folio-break>
chords under the hinge fitting halves, upper skins under the splice plates, and
the rear spar webs behind the terminal fittings; a HFEC inspection for cracking
in the terminal fittings around the fasteners; a low frequency eddy current
inspection for cracking in the splice plates around the fasteners; a surface
HFEC inspection for cracking in the rear spar upper chords in the radius area
above the terminal fittings and the lower surface of the horizontal flange; and
a HFEC inspection for cracking in the rear spar webs in the exposed area above
the terminal fittings.</p>
<p style="I11">Part 4—Alternate
open hole NDT inspection for Groups 1, 2, and 3 airplanes; recommended for
Groups 4, 5, and 6 airplanes: Includes an open hole HFEC inspection for
cracking of the splice plates, terminal fittings, hinge fitting halves, rear
spar upper chords, rear spar webs, and upper skins; and a magnetic particle
inspection or fluorescent penetrant inspection of the bolts for damage, if
applicable. If no cracking or no damaged hole is found, the service bulletin
specifies either repeating the Part 3 NDT inspections or doing the Part 4 open
hole NDT inspection, as applicable. If cracking or a damaged hole is found, the
service bulletin specifies repairing the cracking and the damaged hole and
repeating the Part 3 NDT inspections or doing the Part 4 open hole NDT
inspection, as applicable.</p>
<p style="I11">Accomplishment of the
actions specified in the service bulletin is intended to adequately address the
identified unsafe condition.</p>
<p style="I85">Explanation of the
Requirements of the Rule</p>
<p style="I11">Since an unsafe condition
has been identified that is likely to exist or develop on other airplanes of
the same type design, this AD is being issued to find and fix cracking of the
upper skin of the outboard and center sections of the horizontal stabilizer and
the rear spar structure, hinge fittings, terminal fittings, and splice plates.
Such cracking could lead to reduced structural capability of the outboard and
center sections of the horizontal stabilizer, and result in loss of
controllability of the airplane. This AD requires accomplishment of the Zone B
inspections for Groups 1, 2, and 3 airplanes as specified in Parts 3 and 4 of
the service bulletin described previously, except as discussed in the
“Differences” section below.</p>
<p style="I11">This AD does not supersede
AD 2002-06-02; therefore, accomplishment of that AD is still required. Please
note that as stated in the approval section of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
747-55A2050, Revision 1, dated May 1, 2003, that bulletin has been approved as
an alternative method of compliance to certain portions of AD
2002-06-02.</p>
<p style="I85">Interim Action</p>
<p style="I11">At this time the FAA is
considering a separate rulemaking action to supersede this AD to address the
procedures for repetitive inspections of Zone C to find additional cracking,
and repair of any cracking found, as described in the service bulletin. That
action would also mandate repetitive inspections of Zone B for Groups 4, 5, and
6 airplanes. Due to the urgency of the need to inspect the fleet and repair any
cracking found, this AD will address only the sections in the service bulletin
that pertain to inspections and repair of Zone B for Groups 1, 2, and 3
airplanes.</p>
<p style="I11">In addition to superseding
this AD, that rulemaking action would also supersede AD 2002-06-02 to mandate
long-term inspections of all affected zones specified in the referenced service
bulletin for all 747 series airplanes. However, the planned compliance time for
these actions is sufficiently long so that prior notice and time for public comment
will be practicable.</p>
<p style="I85">Differences Between This
AD and the Service Bulletin</p>
<p style="I11">The effectivity listing of
the service bulletin identifies all Model 747 series airplanes, line number 1
and on, divided into 6 groups, as being subject to the actions described
therein. However, only Model 747 series airplanes having line numbers 1 through
695 inclusive (Groups 1, 2, and 3 airplanes) are included in the applicability
of this AD, as the required actions apply only to the Zone B inspections for
those airplanes.</p>
<p style="I11">The service bulletin
recommends accomplishing the initial Zone B inspections for Groups 1, 2, and 3
airplanes within 90 days (after the issue date of the service bulletin) for
airplanes with 27,000 or more flight cycles or 117,000 or more flight hours. We
have determined, however, that limiting the inspections to airplanes with
27,000 or more flight cycles or 117,000 or more flight hours would not address
all affected airplanes, in light of the fact that the unsafe condition is
likely to exist or develop on other Model 747 series airplanes. In developing
an appropriate compliance time for all airplanes that are affected by this AD,
the FAA considered not only the manufacturer’s recommendation, but
the degree of urgency associated with addressing the subject unsafe condition,
the average utilization of the affected fleet, and the time necessary to
perform the required inspections. In light of all of these factors, we find
that a compliance time of the later of the following times is warranted for
initiating the required inspections: (1) Before the accumulation of 27,000
total flight cycles or 117,000 total flight hours, whichever is first; and (2)
within 90 days after the effective date of this AD. We find that this
compliance time represents an appropriate interval of time allowable for
affected airplanes to continue to operate without compromising
safety.</p>
<p style="I11">The service bulletin
specifies that the manufacturer may be contacted for disposition of certain
repair conditions; however, this AD requires the repair of those conditions to
be accomplished per a method approved by the FAA, or per data meeting the type
certification basis of the airplane approved by a Boeing Company Designated
Engineering Representative who has been authorized by the Manager, Seattle
Aircraft Certification Office, to make such findings.</p>
<p style="I85">Changes to <cfr-ref
number="14CFRPART39">14 CFR part 39</cfr-ref>/Effect on the
AD</p>
<p style="I11">On July 10, 2002, the FAA
issued a new version of <cfr-ref number="14CFRPART39(67">14 CFR
part 39 (67</cfr-ref> FR 47997, July 22, 2002), which governs the
FAA’s airworthiness directives system. The regulation now includes material
that relates to altered products, special flight permits, and alternative
methods of compliance. Because we have now included this material in part 39,
we no longer need to include it in each individual AD; however, this AD
identifies the office authorized to approve alternative methods of
compliance.</p>
<p style="I85">Determination of
Rule’s Effective Date</p>
<p style="I11">Since a situation exists
that requires the immediate adoption of this regulation, it is found that
notice and opportunity for prior public comment hereon are impracticable, and
that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30
days.</p>
<p style="I85">Comments Invited</p>
<p style="I11">Although this action is in
the form of a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety
and, thus, was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public comment,
comments are invited on this rule. Interested persons are invited to comment on
this rule by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they may desire.
Communications shall identify the Rules Docket number and be submitted in
triplicate to the address specified under the caption
<bold>ADDRESSES.</bold> All communications received on or before
<folio-break>38585</folio-break> the closing date for comments will
be considered, and this rule may be amended in light of the comments received.
Factual information that supports the commenter’s ideas and
suggestions is extremely helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of the AD
action and determining whether additional rulemaking action would be
needed.</p>
<p style="I11">Submit comments using the
following format:</p>
<p style="I11">• Organize
comments issue-by-issue. For example, discuss a request to change the
compliance time and a request to change the service bulletin reference as two
separate issues.</p>
