§ 490.1
14 CFR Part 39
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an
existing airworthiness directive (AD) for
Rolls Royce plc (RR) RB211–524 series
turbofan engines with certain part
number (P/N) intermediate pressure
compressor (IPC) stage 5 disks installed.
That AD currently requires new reduced
IPC stage 5 disk cyclic limits. This AD
requires the same reduced IPC stage 5
disk cyclic limits, requires removal from
service of affected disks that already
exceed the new reduced cyclic limit,
and, removal from service of other
affected disks before exceeding their
cyclic limits using a drawdown
schedule. This AD also exempts disks
reworked to RR Service Bulletin (SB)
No. RB.211–72–E182, Revision 1, dated
July 30, 2004, and allows an on-wing
eddy current inspection (ECI) on
RB211–524G and RB211–524H series
engines. This AD results from the
manufacturer issuing a revised Alert
Service Bulletin (ASB) to remove certain
disks from applicability, and to allow an
on-wing ECI on RB211–524G and
RB211–524H series engines. We are
issuing this AD to prevent failure of the
IPC stage 5 disk, which could result in
uncontained engine failure and possible
damage to the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective April
19, 2007. The Director of the Federal
Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed
in the regulations as of April 19, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with
a proposed AD. The proposed AD
applies to RR RB211–524 series turbofan
engines with certain P/N IPC stage 5
disks installed. We published the
proposed AD in the Federal Register on
July 11, 2006 (71 FR 39025). That action
proposed to require:
• Establishing new reduced IPC stage
5 disk cyclic limits.
• Removing from service affected
disks that already exceed the new
reduced cyclic limit.
• Removing from service other
affected disks before exceeding their
cyclic limits, using a drawdown
schedule.
• Allowing optional inspections at
each shop visit or an on-wing ECI to
extend the disk life beyond the specified
life.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the docket that
contains the AD, any comments
received, and any final disposition in
person at the Docket Management
Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The Docket Office (telephone
(800) 647–5227) is located on the plaza
level of the Department of
Transportation Nassif Building at the
street address stated in ADDRESSES.
Comments will be available in the AD
docket shortly after the DMS receives
them.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have
considered the comments received.
Request To Add a Note
One commenter, Rolls-Royce plc,
requests that we add a note, just above
compliance paragraph (j)(5), that states:
‘‘To qualify for maximum alleviation
since last NDT inspection (see Table 5
of this AD) it is recommended that discs
be ECI inspected using paragraph 3.D. of
the Accomplishment Instructions of RR
E:\FR\FM\15MRR1.SGM
15MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 50 / Thursday, March 15, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
Alert Service Bulletin No. RB.211–72–
AD428, Revision 5, dated March 18,
2005.’’ The commenter feels that this
note adds clarification to the AD
compliance. We do not agree. The note
is identified in the service bulletin that
is incorporated by reference, and need
not be included in the text of the AD.
We did not change the AD.
Request To Add Engine Series
Rolls-Royce plc requests that we add
the RB211–524B/B3 engine series to
compliance paragraph (k)(1), and add
the RB211–524H2 and RB211–524H2–T
engine series to compliance paragraph
(k)(2), as they need to be included, the
same as they appear in the service
bulletin. We agree and added those
engine series to the paragraphs.
Clarification of Paragraph (g)
Since we issued the proposed AD, we
reviewed the wording in paragraph (g)
and realized that the compliance times
in that paragraph were in conflict. We
clarified that paragraph. It now states to
comply with the reduced cyclic life
limits in Table 3 of this AD within 30
days after the effective date of this AD,
or conduct optional qualifying
nondestructive test (NDT) inspections
before December 1, 2008, to extend the
IPC stage 5 disk life as specified in
paragraph (i) of this AD.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data, including the comments
received, and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described
previously. We have determined that
these changes will neither increase the
economic burden on any operator nor
increase the scope of the AD.
Docket Number Change
We are transferring the docket for this
AD to the Docket Management System
as part of our on-going docket
management consolidation efforts. The
new Docket No. is FAA–2007–27267.
The old Docket No. became the
Directorate Identifier, which is 2002–
NE–40–AD. This AD might get logged
into the DMS docket, ahead of the
previously collected documents from
the old docket file, as we are in the
process of sending those items to the
DMS.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate this AD will not affect
any engines installed on airplanes of
U.S. registry. Based on this, we estimate
this AD will not have any cost to U.S.
operators.
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 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
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
(3) 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 summary of the costs
to comply with this AD and placed it in
the AD Docket. You may get a copy of
this summary at the address listed
under ADDRESSES.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results
from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct
an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:
rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES
Some cases of turnbuckle adjusting screws
fatigue failure have occurred, due to lateral
load component applied by pilot’s foot. Such
events may lead to rudder and pedals
disconnection.
We are issuing this AD to require
actions to correct the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective April
19, 2007.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in this AD
as of April 19, 2007.
ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD

Streamlined Issuance of AD
The FAA is implementing a new
process for streamlining the issuance of
ADs related to MCAI. The streamlined
process will allow us to adopt MCAI
safety requirements in a more efficient
manner and will reduce safety risks to
the public. This process continues to
follow all FAA AD issuance processes to
meet legal, economic, Administrative
Procedure Act, and Federal Register
requirements. We also continue to meet
our technical decision-making
responsibilities to identify and correct
unsafe conditions on U.S.-certificated
products.
This AD references the MCAI and
related service information that we
considered in forming the engineering
basis to correct the unsafe condition.
The AD contains text copied from the
MCAI and for this reason might not
follow our plain language principles.
Any such differences are highlighted in
a NOTE within the AD.
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to the specified products. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on January 5, 2007 (72 FR 485).
That NPRM proposed to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states that some
cases of turnbuckle adjusting screws
fatigue failure have occurred, due to
lateral load component applied by
pilot’s foot. Such events may lead to
rudder and pedals disconnection.
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.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the
public.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.
Differences Between This AD and the
MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and
related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But
we might have found it necessary to use
different words from those in the MCAI
to ensure the AD is clear for U.S.
operators and is enforceable. In making
these changes, we do not intend to differ
substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related
service information.
We might also have required different
actions in this AD from those in the
MCAI in order to follow FAA policies.

Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 8
products of U.S. registry. We also
estimate that it will take about 2 workhours per product to comply with basic
requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour.
Required parts will cost about $100 per
product. Where the service information
lists required parts costs that are
covered under warranty, we have
assumed that there will be no charge for
these parts. As we do not control
warranty coverage for affected parties,
some parties may incur costs higher
than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD
to the U.S. operators to be $2,080, or
$260 per product.
Authority for This Rulemaking
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 this AD:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
(3) Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211-524 Series
Turbofan Engines
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) for Rolls Royce plc (RR) RB211-524 series turbofan engines with
certain part number (P/N) intermediate pressure compressor (IPC) stage
5 disks installed. That AD currently requires new reduced IPC stage 5
disk cyclic limits. This AD requires the same reduced IPC stage 5 disk
cyclic limits, requires removal from service of affected disks that
already exceed the new reduced cyclic limit, and, removal from service
of other affected disks before exceeding their cyclic limits using a
drawdown schedule. This AD also exempts disks reworked to RR Service
Bulletin (SB) No. RB.211-72-E182, Revision 1, dated July 30, 2004, and
allows an on-wing eddy current inspection (ECI) on RB211-524G and
RB211-524H series engines. This AD results from the manufacturer
issuing a revised Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) to remove certain disks
from applicability, and to allow an on-wing ECI on RB211-524G and
RB211-524H series engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of
the IPC stage 5 disk, which could result in uncontained engine failure
and possible damage to the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective April 19, 2007. The Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulations as of April 19, 2007.
ADDRESSES: You can get the service information identified in this AD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39
with a proposed AD. The proposed AD applies to RR RB211-524 series
turbofan engines with certain P/N IPC stage 5 disks installed. We
published the proposed AD in the Federal Register on July 11, 2006 (71
FR 39025). That action proposed to require:
Establishing new reduced IPC stage 5 disk cyclic limits.
Removing from service affected disks that already exceed
the new reduced cyclic limit.
Removing from service other affected disks before
exceeding their cyclic limits, using a drawdown schedule.
Allowing optional inspections at each shop visit or an on-
wing ECI to extend the disk life beyond the specified life.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the docket that contains the AD, any comments
received, and any final disposition in person at the Docket Management
Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone (800) 647-5227) is
located on the plaza level of the Department of Transportation Nassif
Building at the street address stated in ADDRESSES. Comments will be
available in the AD docket shortly after the DMS receives them.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comments received.
Request To Add a Note
One commenter, Rolls-Royce plc, requests that we add a note, just
above compliance paragraph (j)(5), that states: ``To qualify for
maximum alleviation since last NDT inspection (see Table 5 of this AD)
it is recommended that discs be ECI inspected using paragraph 3.D. of
the Accomplishment Instructions of RR
[[Page 12061]]
Alert Service Bulletin No. RB.211-72-AD428, Revision 5, dated March 18,
2005.'' The commenter feels that this note adds clarification to the AD
compliance. We do not agree. The note is identified in the service
bulletin that is incorporated by reference, and need not be included in
the text of the AD. We did not change the AD.
Request To Add Engine Series
Rolls-Royce plc requests that we add the RB211-524B/B3 engine
series to compliance paragraph (k)(1), and add the RB211-524H2 and
RB211-524H2-T engine series to compliance paragraph (k)(2), as they
need to be included, the same as they appear in the service bulletin.
We agree and added those engine series to the paragraphs.
Clarification of Paragraph (g)
Since we issued the proposed AD, we reviewed the wording in
paragraph (g) and realized that the compliance times in that paragraph
were in conflict. We clarified that paragraph. It now states to comply
with the reduced cyclic life limits in Table 3 of this AD within 30
days after the effective date of this AD, or conduct optional
qualifying nondestructive test (NDT) inspections before December 1,
2008, to extend the IPC stage 5 disk life as specified in paragraph (i)
of this AD.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comments received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously.
We have determined that these changes will neither increase the
economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.
Docket Number Change
We are transferring the docket for this AD to the Docket Management
System as part of our on-going docket management consolidation efforts.
The new Docket No. is FAA-2007-27267. The old Docket No. became the
Directorate Identifier, which is 2002-NE-40-AD. This AD might get
logged into the DMS docket, ahead of the previously collected documents
from the old docket file, as we are in the process of sending those
items to the DMS.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate this AD will not affect any engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. Based on this, we estimate this AD will not
have any cost to U.S. operators.
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 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 DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
(3) 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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

Optional Inspections
(i) Before December 1, 2008, you may perform an optional NDT
inspection on-wing or at each shop visit to extend the disk life.
Guidance for these inspections is provided in paragraphs (j) or (k)
of this AD.
Optional Inspections at Shop Visit
(j) Perform optional inspections at shop visit, as follows:
(1) Remove corrosion protection from IPC stage 5 disk.
Information on corrosion protection removal can be found in the
Engine Maintenance Manual.
(2) Perform a visual inspection and a binocular inspection of
the IPC stage 5 disk for corrosion pitting at the cooling air holes
and defender holes in the disk front spacer arm. Follow paragraph
3.C. of the Accomplishment Instructions of RR ASB No. RB.211-72-
AD428, Revision 5, dated March 18, 2005. The RR Engine Maintenance
Manual, Inspection Check-00 (ATA 72-32-31-200-000), contains limits
for corrosion pitting of the IPC stage 5 disk.
(3) If the disk has corrosion pitting in excess of limits,
remove the disk from service.
(4) If the disk is free from corrosion pitting, perform a
magnetic penetrant inspection (MPI) of the entire disk as follows:
(i) For RB211-524G2-T, RB211-524G3-T, and RB211-524H-T series
engines, the RR Engine Maintenance Manual, Inspection Check 08 (ATA
72-32-31-200-008), contains limits for corrosion pitting of the IPC
stage 5 disk.
(ii) For RB211-524G2, RB211-524G3, and RB211-524H series
engines, the RR Engine Maintenance Manual, Inspection Check 09 (ATA
72-32-31-200-009), contains limits for corrosion pitting of the IPC
stage 5 disk.
(iii) If the disk passes the MPI and you find no cracks,
complete all other inspections, re-apply corrosion protection to the
disk, and return the disk to service using the cyclic limits allowed
by paragraph (m) of this AD. RR Repair FRS5900 contains information
on re-applying corrosion protection.
(5) If the disk has corrosion pitting that is within limits, do
the following:
(i) Perform an ECI on all disk cooling air holes, defender
holes, and inner and outer faces. Use paragraph 3.D. of the
Accomplishment Instructions of RR ASB No. RB.211-72-AD428, Revision
5, dated March 18, 2005. The RR Engine Maintenance Manual,
Inspection Check-00 (ATA 72-32-31-200-000), contains limits for
corrosion pitting of the IPC stage 5 disk.
(ii) If the disk passes the ECI and you find no cracks, perform
an MPI on the entire disk.
(iii) If the disk passes the MPI and you find no cracks, re-
apply corrosion protection to the disk, and return the disk to
service using the cyclic limits allowed by paragraph (m) of this AD.

Optional On-Wing Eddy Current Inspections
(k) You may perform an optional on-wing ECI of the IPC stage 5
disk only once between shop visit inspections as follows:
(1) For RB211-524B2/C2, RB211-524B/B3, and RB211-524B4/D4 series
engines, use paragraphs 3.A. through 3.F. of the Accomplishment
Instructions of RR SB No. RB.211-72-E148, dated March 13, 2003, and
RR SB No. RB.211-72-E150, Revision 1, dated June 4, 2003.
(2) For RB211-524G2, RB211-524G2-T, RB211-524G3, RB211-524G3-T,
RB211-524H, RB211-524H-T, RB211-524H2, and RB211-524H2-T series
engines, use paragraphs 3.A. through 3.M. of the Accomplishment
Instructions of RR SB No. RB.211-72-E171, Revision 1, dated February
8, 2005.
(3) If the disk passes the ECI and you find no cracks, you may
extend the cycle life as specified in paragraph (m) of this AD.
Definition of Shop Visit
(l) The manufacturer defines a shop visit as the separation of
an engine major case flange. This definition excludes shop visits
when only field maintenance type activities are performed in lieu of
performing them on-wing (such as to perform an on-wing inspection of
a tail engine installation on a Lockheed L-1011 series airplane).
Cyclic Life Extension
(m) Disks that pass an optional inspection may remain in service
after that inspection for the additional cycles listed in the
following Table 5, until the next inspection, until the cyclic life
limit published in the RR Time Limits Manual, 05-10-01, is reached,
or December 1, 2008, whichever occurs first.
