SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to
supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) that applies to all Model
737–100, –200, –200C, –300, –400, and
–500 series airplanes. The existing AD
currently requires repetitive inspections
to find cracks, fractures, or corrosion of
each carriage spindle of the left and
right outboard mid-flaps, and corrective
action if necessary. The existing AD also
currently requires repetitive gap checks
of the inboard and outboard carriage of
the outboard mid-flaps to detect
fractured carriage spindles, and
corrective actions if necessary. This
proposed AD would require any new or
serviceable carriage spindle installed
per the requirements of the existing AD
to meet minimum allowable diameter
measurements taken at three locations.
This proposed AD also would require
new repetitive inspections,
measurements, and overhaul of the
carriage spindles, and applicable
corrective actions. In addition, this
proposed AD would require replacing
any carriage spindle when it has
reached its maximum life limit. This
proposed AD results from reports of
fractures that resulted from stress
corrosion and pitting along the length of
the spindle and spindle diameter, and
additional reports of corrosion on the
outboard flap carriage spindles. We are
proposing this AD to detect and correct
cracked, corroded, or fractured carriage
spindles, and to prevent severe flap
asymmetry, which could result in
reduced control or loss of controllability
of the airplane.
DATES: We must receive comments on
this proposed AD by April 15, 2010.

Discussion
On November 24, 2003, we issued AD
2003–24–08, Amendment 39–13377 (68
FR 67027, December 1, 2003), for all
Model 737–100, –200, –200C, –300,
–400, and –500 series airplanes. That
E:\FR\FM\01MRP1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 39 / Monday, March 1, 2010 / Proposed Rules
AD currently requires repetitive
inspections to find cracks, fractures, or
corrosion of each carriage spindle of the
left and right outboard mid-flaps, and
corrective action if necessary. That AD
also currently requires repetitive gap
checks of the inboard and outboard
carriage of the outboard mid-flaps to
detect fractured carriage spindles, and
corrective actions if necessary. That AD
resulted from a report indicating that
the inboard and outboard carriage
spindles (number 7 and 8 carriage
spindles) were fractured on the right
outboard flap during approach to
landing. We issued that AD to detect
and correct cracked, corroded, or
fractured carriage spindles, and to
prevent severe flap asymmetry, which
could result in reduced control or loss
of controllability of the airplane.
bulletin describes procedures for
repetitive detailed and magnetic particle
inspections to detect discrepancies
(including corrosion, pitting, and
cracks) of the carriage spindle, repetitive
measurements to determine the
diameter of certain areas of the carriage
spindle, and applicable corrective
actions. The corrective actions include
repairing any corrosion or pitting, or
replacement with a new or serviceable
carriage. The service bulletin also
describes procedures for repetitive
overhauls of the carriage. In addition,
the service bulletin describes
procedures for repetitive replacements
of any carriage when it has reached its
maximum life limit.
Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued
The preamble to AD 2003–24–08
explains that we considered the
requirements ‘‘interim action’’ and were
considering further rulemaking. We now
have determined that further
rulemaking is indeed necessary, and
this proposed AD follows from that
determination.
We have evaluated all pertinent
information and identified an unsafe
condition that is likely to develop on
other airplanes of the same type design.
For this reason, we are proposing this
AD, which would supersede AD 2003–
24–08 and would retain certain
requirements of the existing AD. This
proposed AD would require any new or
serviceable carriage spindle installed
per the requirements of the existing AD
to meet minimum allowable diameter
measurements taken at three locations
of the spindle. This proposed AD also
would require accomplishing the
actions specified in the service bulletin
described previously.
Change to Existing AD
This proposed AD would retain
certain requirements of AD 2003–24–08.
Since AD 2003–24–08 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:

The cost impact figures discussed
above are based on assumptions that no
operator has yet accomplished any of
the actions required by this AD, and that
no operator would accomplish those
actions in the future if this AD were not
adopted. However, we have been
advised that the carriages are already
being overhauled and replaced on some
affected airplanes. In addition, the
replacement cycle is approximately
every 20 years. Therefore, the future
economic cost impact of this proposed

rule on U.S. operators is expected to be
less than the cost impact figures
indicated above.
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

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:
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); 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 regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this proposed AD and placed it in the
AD docket. See the ADDRESSES section
for a location to examine the regulatory
evaluation.

Restatement of Certain Requirements of AD
2003–24–08, With Updated Service
Information
Compliance Times
(g) The tables in paragraph 1.E.,
‘‘Compliance’’ of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737–57A1277, Revision 1, dated
November 25, 2003, specify the compliance
times for paragraphs (g) through (k) of this
AD. For carriage spindles that have
accumulated the number of flight cycles or
years in service specified in the ‘‘Threshold’’
column of the tables, accomplish the gap
check and nondestructive test (NDT) and
general visual inspections specified in
paragraphs (h) and (j) of this AD within the
corresponding interval after December 4,
2003 (the effective date AD 2003–24–08), as
specified in the ‘‘Interval’’ column. Repeat the
gap check and NDT and general visual
inspections at the same intervals, except:
(1) The gap check does not have to be done
at the same time as an NDT inspection; after
doing an NDT inspection, the interval for
doing the next gap check can be measured
from the NDT inspection; and
(2) As carriage spindles gain flight cycles
or years in service and move from one
category in the ‘‘Threshold’’ column to
another, they are subject to the repetitive
inspection intervals corresponding to the
new threshold category.
Work Package 2: Gap Check
(h) Perform a gap check of the inboard and
outboard carriage of the left and right
outboard mid-flaps to determine if there is a
positive indication of a severed carriage
spindle, in accordance with Work Package 2
of paragraph 3.B., ‘‘Work Instructions’’ of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–57A1277,
Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200,
-200C, -300, -400, and -500 Series Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) that applies to all Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -
400, and -500 series airplanes. The existing AD currently requires
repetitive inspections to find cracks, fractures, or corrosion of each
carriage spindle of the left and right outboard mid-flaps, and
corrective action if necessary. The existing AD also currently requires
repetitive gap checks of the inboard and outboard carriage of the
outboard mid-flaps to detect fractured carriage spindles, and
corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD would require any new
or serviceable carriage spindle installed per the requirements of the
existing AD to meet minimum allowable diameter measurements taken at
three locations. This proposed AD also would require new repetitive
inspections, measurements, and overhaul of the carriage spindles, and
applicable corrective actions. In addition, this proposed AD would
require replacing any carriage spindle when it has reached its maximum
life limit. This proposed AD results from reports of fractures that
resulted from stress corrosion and pitting along the length of the
spindle and spindle diameter, and additional reports of corrosion on
the outboard flap carriage spindles. We are proposing this AD to detect
and correct cracked, corroded, or fractured carriage spindles, and to
prevent severe flap asymmetry, which could result in reduced control or
loss of controllability of the airplane.
DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 15, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion
On November 24, 2003, we issued AD 2003-24-08, Amendment 39-13377
(68 FR 67027, December 1, 2003), for all Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -
300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. That
[[Page 9138]]
AD currently requires repetitive inspections to find cracks, fractures,
or corrosion of each carriage spindle of the left and right outboard
mid-flaps, and corrective action if necessary. That AD also currently
requires repetitive gap checks of the inboard and outboard carriage of
the outboard mid-flaps to detect fractured carriage spindles, and
corrective actions if necessary. That AD resulted from a report
indicating that the inboard and outboard carriage spindles (number 7
and 8 carriage spindles) were fractured on the right outboard flap
during approach to landing. We issued that AD to detect and correct
cracked, corroded, or fractured carriage spindles, and to prevent
severe flap asymmetry, which could result in reduced control or loss of
controllability of the airplane.
Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued
The preamble to AD 2003-24-08 explains that we considered the
requirements ``interim action'' and were considering further
rulemaking. We now have determined that further rulemaking is indeed
necessary, and this proposed AD follows from that determination.
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1218,
Revision 5, dated February 9, 2009. The service bulletin describes
procedures for repetitive detailed and magnetic particle inspections to
detect discrepancies (including corrosion, pitting, and cracks) of the
carriage spindle, repetitive measurements to determine the diameter of
certain areas of the carriage spindle, and applicable corrective
actions. The corrective actions include repairing any corrosion or
pitting, or replacement with a new or serviceable carriage. The service
bulletin also describes procedures for repetitive overhauls of the
carriage. In addition, the service bulletin describes procedures for
repetitive replacements of any carriage when it has reached its maximum
life limit.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD
We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an
unsafe condition that is likely to develop on other airplanes of the
same type design. For this reason, we are proposing this AD, which
would supersede AD 2003-24-08 and would retain certain requirements of
the existing AD. This proposed AD would require any new or serviceable
carriage spindle installed per the requirements of the existing AD to
meet minimum allowable diameter measurements taken at three locations
of the spindle. This proposed AD also would require accomplishing the
actions specified in the service bulletin described previously.
Change to Existing AD
This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 2003-24-
08. Since AD 2003-24-08 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:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Costs of Compliance
There are about 2,852 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.

The cost impact figures discussed above are based on assumptions
that no operator has yet accomplished any of the actions required by
this AD, and that no operator would accomplish those actions in the
future if this AD were not adopted. However, we have been advised that
the carriages are already being overhauled and replaced on some
affected airplanes. In addition, the replacement cycle is approximately
every 20 years. Therefore, the future economic cost impact of this
proposed rule on U.S. operators is expected to be less than the cost
impact figures indicated above.
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
[[Page 9139]]
products identified in this rulemaking action.
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:
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); 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 regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the
ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
2. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends Sec. 39.13 by
removing Amendment 39-13377 (68 FR 67027, December 1, 2003) and adding
the following new airworthiness directive (AD):
The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2010-0173; Directorate Identifier
2009-NM-076-AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by April 15,
2010.
Affected ADs
(b) This AD supersedes AD 2003-24-08, Amendment 39-13377.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -
200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, certificated in
any category.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57: Wings.
Unsafe Condition
(e) This AD results from a report indicating that the inboard
and outboard carriage spindles were fractured on the right outboard
flap during approach to landing. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct cracked, corroded, or fractured carriage spindles and to
prevent severe flap asymmetry, which could result in reduced control
or loss of controllability of the airplane.
Compliance
(f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.
Restatement of Certain Requirements of AD 2003-24-08, With Updated
Service Information
Compliance Times
(g) The tables in paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance'' of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003,
specify the compliance times for paragraphs (g) through (k) of this
AD. For carriage spindles that have accumulated the number of flight
cycles or years in service specified in the ``Threshold'' column of
the tables, accomplish the gap check and nondestructive test (NDT)
and general visual inspections specified in paragraphs (h) and (j)
of this AD within the corresponding interval after December 4, 2003
(the effective date AD 2003-24-08), as specified in the ``Interval''
column. Repeat the gap check and NDT and general visual inspections
at the same intervals, except:
(1) The gap check does not have to be done at the same time as
an NDT inspection; after doing an NDT inspection, the interval for
doing the next gap check can be measured from the NDT inspection;
and
(2) As carriage spindles gain flight cycles or years in service
and move from one category in the ``Threshold'' column to another,
they are subject to the repetitive inspection intervals
corresponding to the new threshold category.
Work Package 2: Gap Check
(h) Perform a gap check of the inboard and outboard carriage of
the left and right outboard mid-flaps to determine if there is a
positive indication of a severed carriage spindle, in accordance
with Work Package 2 of paragraph 3.B., ``Work Instructions'' of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 1, dated
November 25, 2003.
Work Package 2: Corrective Actions
(i) If there is a positive indication of a severed carriage
spindle during the gap check required by paragraph (h) of this AD,
before further flight, remove the carriage spindle and install a new
or serviceable carriage spindle in accordance with the ``Work
Instructions'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277,
Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003; or Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1218, Revision 5, dated February 9, 2009. If, as a
result of the detailed inspection described in paragraph 4.b. of
Work Package 2 of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277,
Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003, a carriage spindle is found not
to be severed and no corrosion and no cracking is present, it can be
reinstalled on the mid-flap in accordance with Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003; or Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1218, Revision 5, dated February 9,
2009. After the effective date of this AD, use only Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-57A1218, Revision 5, dated February 9, 2009.
Work Package 1: Inspections
(j) Perform a NDT inspection and general visual inspection for
each carriage spindle of the left and right outboard mid-flaps to
detect cracks, corrosion, or severed carriage spindles, in
accordance with the ``Work Instructions'' of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003.
Work Package 1: Corrective Actions
(k) If any corroded, cracked, or severed carriage spindle is
found during any inspection required by paragraph (j) of this AD,
before further flight, remove the carriage spindle and install a new
or serviceable carriage spindle in accordance with the ``Work
Instructions'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277,
Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003; or Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1218, Revision 5, dated February 9, 2009. After the
effective date of this AD, use only Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737-57A1218, Revision 5, dated February 9, 2009.
Parts Installation
(l) Except as provided in paragraph (i) of this AD: As of
December 4, 2003, no person may install on any airplane a carriage
spindle that has been removed as required by paragraph (i) or (k) of
this AD, unless it has been overhauled in accordance with the ``Work
Instructions'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277,
Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003; or Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1218, Revision 5, dated February 9, 2009. After the
effective date of this AD, use only Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737-57A1218, Revision 5, dated February 9, 2009. To be eligible for
installation under this paragraph, the carriage spindle must have
been overhauled in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (m)
of this AD.
(m) During accomplishment of any overhaul specified in paragraph
(l) of this AD, use the procedures specified in paragraphs (m)(1)
and (m)(2) of this AD during application of the nickel plating to
the carriage spindle in addition to those specified in Boeing 737
Standard Overhaul Practices Manual, Chapter 20-42-09, Revision 25,
dated July 1, 2009.
[[Page 9140]]
(1) The maximum deposition rate of the nickel plating in any one
plating/baking cycle must not exceed 0.002-inches-per-hour.
(2) Begin the hydrogen embrittlement relief bake within 10 hours
after application of the plating, or less than 24 hours after the
current was first applied to the part, whichever is first.
Exception to Reporting Recommendations in Certain Service Bulletins
(n) Although Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision
1, dated November 25, 2003, recommends that operators report
inspection findings to the manufacturer, this AD does not contain
such a reporting requirement.
New Actions Required by This AD
Inspections, Measurements, and Overhauls of the Carriage Spindle
(o) At the applicable times specified in paragraph (o)(1) or
(o)(2) of this AD: Do the detailed inspection for corrosion,
