The Boeing Company Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive
(AD)2010-15-08 for all The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. AD 2010-15-08 required repetitive inspections for discrepancies of each carriage spindle of the outboard mid-flaps; repetitive gap checks of the inboard and outboard carriages of the outboard mid-flaps to detect fractured carriage spindles; measuring to ensure that any new or serviceable carriage spindle meets minimum allowable diameter measurements taken at three locations; repetitive inspections, measurements, and overhaul of the carriage spindles; replacement of any carriage spindle when it has reached its maximum life limit; and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD requires reducing the life limit of the carriages, reducing the repetitive interval for certain inspections and gap checks for certain carriages. This new AD also adds an option, for certain replacements, of doing an inspection, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD was prompted by a report of failure of both flap carriages. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracked, corroded, or fractured carriage spindles, which could lead to severe flap asymmetry, and could result in reduced control or loss of controllability of the airplane. DATES: This AD is effective April 22, 2014. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 22, 2014. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of August 31, 2010 (75 FR 43803, July 27, 2010).

(NPRM)to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2010-15-08, Amendment 39-16374 (75 FR 43803, July 27, 2010). AD 2010-15-08 applied to all The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the **Federal Register** on July 1, 2013 (78 FR 39193). The NPRM was prompted by a report of failure of both flap carriages. The NPRM proposed to continue to require repetitive inspections for discrepancies of each carriage spindle of the outboard mid-flaps; repetitive gap checks of the inboard and outboard carriages of the outboard mid-flaps to detect fractured carriage spindles; measuring to ensure that any new or serviceable carriage spindle meets minimum allowable diameter measurements taken at three locations; repetitive inspections, measurements, and overhaul of the carriage spindles; replacement of any carriage spindle when it has reached its maximum life limit; and corrective actions if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require reducing the life limit of the carriages, reducing the repetitive interval for certain inspections and gap checks for certain carriages. The NPRM also proposed to add an option, for certain replacements, of doing an inspection, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracked, corroded, or fractured carriage spindles, which could lead to severe flap asymmetry, and could result in reduced control or loss of controllability of the airplane. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal (78 FR 39193, July 1, 2013) and the FAA's response to each comment. Request to Revise Note Boeing requested we revise note 1 to paragraph
(m)of the NPRM (78 FR 39193, July 1, 2013) to read, “. . . Boeing
(737)Standard Overhaul Practices Manual (SOPM), Revision 25 or later.” Boeing stated that as its production standard changes, the SOPM is revised each time the SOPM is updated. Boeing stated that a global alternative method of compliance
(AMOC)is required each time the SOPM is revised and this generates AMOC activity that does not enhance fleet safety. We disagree to revise Note 1 to paragraph
(m)of this final rule because the text in Note 1 is informational guidance and does not relieve the requirement in paragraph
(m)to obtain approval for the method used to apply plating, regardless of what revision of the SOPM is specified. We have not changed this final rule in this regard. Request to Revise Requirement for Plating Boeing requested the following requirement in paragraph (m)(3) of the NPRM (78 FR 39193, July 1, 2013) be removed, “The carriage must not be plated using any high velocity oxygen fuel
(HVOF)thermal spray process.” Boeing stated AD 2011-04-10, Amendment 39-16609 (76 FR 9498, February 18, 2011), and AD 2012-13-07, Amendment 39-17109 (77 FR 39153, July 2, 2012), required diligent inspection of HVOF coated carriages. Boeing stated that inspections to date have only found minor corrosion, well in advance of a potential unsafe condition. Boeing stated requiring carriages to be converted to nickel [plating] does not enhance fleet safety. We disagree to remove the requested phrase. The restriction against future application of HVOF plating of the flap carriages was coordinated and agreed to by The Boeing Company prior to issuance of the NPRM (78 FR 39193, July 1, 2013). Service experience has shown that the HVOF coating has insufficient reliability, therefore the restriction is necessary. We have not changed this final rule in this regard. Clarification Regarding the Installation of Winglets Aviation Partners Boeing
(APB)stated the installation of winglets per Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC)ST01219SE ( *http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/BE866B732F6CF31086257B9700692796?OpenDocument&Highlight=st01219se* ) does not affect the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions. We agree with APB's statement that the installation of winglets as specified in STC ST01219SE ( *http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/BE866B732F6CF31086257B9700692796?OpenDocument&Highlight=st01219se* ) does not affect accomplishment of the requirements of this AD, and for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is installed, a “change in product”
(AMOC)approval request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of section 39.17 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.17). We have redesignated paragraph
(c)of the NPRM (78 FR 39193, July 1, 2013) as (c)(1) and added this provision in new paragraph (c)(2) of this final rule. Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 39193, July 1, 2013) for correcting the unsafe condition; and • Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 39193, July 1, 2013). We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 652 airplanes of U.S. registry.

The new requirements of this AD add no additional economic burden. 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),
(3)Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(4)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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive
(AD)2010-15-08, Amendment 39-16374 (75 FR 43803, July 27, 2010), and adding the following new AD: **2014-05-12 The Boeing Company:** Amendment 39-17785; Docket No. FAA-2013-0542; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-162-AD.
(a)Effective Date This AD is effective April 22, 2014.
(b)Affected ADs This AD supersedes AD 2010-15-08, Amendment 39-16374 (75 FR 43803, July 27, 2010).
(c)Applicability
(1)This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
(2)Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC)ST01219SE ( *http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/BE866B732F6CF31086257B9700692796?OpenDocument&Highlight=st01219se* ) does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is installed, a “change in product” alternative method of compliance
(AMOC)approval request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.
(d)Subject Air Transport Association
(ATA)of America Code 57: Wings.
(e)Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a report of failure of both flap carriages. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracked, corroded, or fractured carriage spindles, which could lead to severe flap asymmetry, and could result in reduced control or loss of controllability of the airplane.
(f)Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
(g)Compliance Times for Paragraphs
(h)and
(j)of This AD This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph
(g)of AD 2010-15-08, Amendment 39-16374 (75 FR 43803, July 27, 2010), with revised service information that shortens the compliance times for certain inspections. The tables in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003; and Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 3, dated May 16, 2012; 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 in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003, accomplish the gap check, nondestructive test
(NDT)inspection, and general visual inspection specified in paragraphs
(h)and
(j)of this AD within the corresponding interval after December 4, 2003 (the effective date AD 2003-24-08, Amendment 39-13337 (68 FR 67027, December 1, 2003)), as specified in the “Interval” column of the tables in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003, except as specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD. Repeat the gap check, NDT, and general visual inspections at the intervals specified in the “Interval” column of the tables in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003, except as specified in paragraph (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD. As of the effective date of this AD, accomplish the gap check, NDT inspection, and general visual inspections specified in paragraphs
(h)and
(j)of this AD within the corresponding interval as specified in the “Interval” column of the tables in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 1, dated November 25, 2003, and thereafter at the intervals specified in Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 3, dated May 16, 2012, except as specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD. Repeat the gap check, NDT, and general visual inspections thereafter at the intervals specified in the “Interval” column of the tables in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57A1277, Revision 3, dated May 16, 2012, except as specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD.
(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 may be measured from the NDT inspection.
(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.
(h)Retained Work Package 2: Gap Check This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph
