Airworthiness Directives; Air Tractor, Inc. Models AT-802 and AT-802A Airplanes
This document incorporates the FRFA for Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-17-18, which applied to these products: Air Tractor, Inc. (Air Tractor) Models AT-802 and AT-802A airplanes. We have since revised AD 2010-17-18, which requires you to repetitively inspect (using the eddy current method) the two outboard fastener holes in both of the wing main spar lower caps at the center splice joint for cracks and repair or replace any cracked spar, and changes the safe life for certain serial number (SN) ranges. Our initial analysis indicated that a FRFA was necessary for AD 2010-17-18. We issued AD 2010-17-18 without the FRFA to immediately address the unsafe condition. This action presents the FRFA for AD 2010-17-18, which is required to be published in the Federal Register.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 737-300, -400, and -500 Series Airplanes
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to all Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. That AD currently requires inspecting to determine if certain carriage spindles are installed, repetitive inspections for corrosion and indications of corrosion on affected carriage spindles, and if necessary, related investigative and corrective actions. That AD also provides an optional terminating action. This new AD mandates the optional terminating action, which eliminates the need for the repetitive inspections. This AD results from reports of corrosion found on carriage spindles that are located on the outboard trailing edge flaps. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion of the carriage spindle, which could result in fracture. Fracture of both the inboard and outboard carriage spindles, in the forward ends through the large diameters, on a flap, could adversely affect the airplane's continued safe flight and landing.
