This AD is effective April 17, 2020. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 17, 2020. DATES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A330–200 Freighter, A330–200, A330–300, A340–200, and A340–300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that elevator skin panels were found disbonded as a result Discussion The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019–0138, dated June 12, 2019 (‘‘EASA AD 2019–0138’’) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A330–200 Freighter, A330–200, A330–300, A340–200, and A340–300 series airplanes. The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model A330– 200 Freighter, A330–200, A330–300, A340–200, and A340–300 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on October 9, 2019 (84 FR 54049). The NPRM was prompted by reports that elevator skin panels were found disbonded as a result of water ingress. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive detailed inspections of skin panels on both elevators, and corrective actions if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address disbonding of the elevator skin panels. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could affect the structural integrity of the elevators, possibly resulting in reduced control of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information. ADDRESSES: Special Conditions: The Boeing Company Model 777–9 Series; Overhead Flight Attendant Rest Compartment SUMMARY: of water ingress. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections of skin panels on both elevators, and corrective actions if necessary, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Request To Modify the Applicability of the Proposed AD Delta Air Lines (DAL) requested that paragraph (c) of the proposed AD be modified to refer to Table 1 of EASA AD 2019–0138 for affected parts, or that the proposed AD include a paragraph providing actions for airplanes not equipped with the affected part numbers. DAL asserted that although the NPRM is applicable to all Airbus SAS airplanes, EASA AD 2019–0138 provides additional details, namely the affected elevator part numbers, and those details should be referenced in paragraph (c) of the proposed AD. The FAA disagrees with the requested modification. EASA AD 2019–0138 is E:\FR\FM\13MRR1.SGM 13MRR1
