The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new AD: ■ 2010–16–03 McDonnell Douglas Corporation: Amendment 39–16379. Docket No. FAA–2008–0403; Directorate Identifier 2007–NM–166–AD. Effective Date (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective September 9, 2010. wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with RULES_PART 1 Affected ADs (b) None. Applicability (c) This AD applies to McDonnell Douglas Corporation Model MD–11 and MD–11F airplanes, certified in any category, equipped with General Electric CF6–80C2 series engines. Subject (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 30: Ice and rain protection. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:16 Aug 04, 2010 Jkt 220001 Unsafe Condition (e) This AD results from reports of several in-flight engine flameouts, including multiple dual engine flameout events, in icecrystal icing conditions. We are issuing this AD to ensure that the flightcrew has the proper procedures to follow in certain icing conditions. These certain icing conditions could cause a multiple engine flameout during flight with the potential inability to restart the engines, and consequent forced landing of the airplane. 47207 Issued in Renton, Washington on July 16, 2010.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Model 747 airplanes. This AD requires inspecting to verify the part number of the low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew oxygen system installed under the oxygen mask stowage boxes in the flight deck, and replacing the flex-hose with a new non-conductive low-pressure flexhose if necessary. This AD results from reports of low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew oxygen system that burned through due to inadvertent electrical current from a short circuit in the audio select panel. We are issuing this AD to prevent inadvertent electrical current, which can cause the low-pressure flexhoses of the crew oxygen system to melt or burn, causing oxygen system leakage and smoke or fire.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to certain Model 747 airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on January 22, 2010 (75 FR 3658). That NPRM proposed to require inspecting to verify the part number of the low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew oxygen system installed under the oxygen mask stowage boxes in the flight deck, and replacing the flex-hose with a new non-conductive low-pressure flexhose if necessary. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We considered the comments received. Support for the NPRM Boeing concurs with the contents of the NPRM, and the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) supports the intent of the NPRM. Request To Shorten Compliance Time ALPA requests that the 36-month compliance time specified in the NPRM be shortened given the potential consequence of an oxygen-fed fire in the vicinity of the flightcrew station. We do not agree. In developing an appropriate compliance time, we considered the safety implications, parts availability, and normal maintenance schedules for timely accomplishment of replacement of the fasteners. Further, we arrived at the compliance time with manufacturer concurrence. In consideration of all of these factors, we determined that the compliance time, as proposed, represents an appropriate interval in which the inspections can be done in a timely manner within the fleet, while still maintaining an adequate level of safety. Operators are always permitted to accomplish the requirements of an AD at a time earlier than the specified compliance time; therefore, an operator may choose to do E:\FR\FM\05AUR1.SGM 05AUR1
