SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 95-18-08 for
all Airbus Model A300-600 series airplanes. AD 95-18-08 required
repetitive inspections to detect cracks in the bottom skin of the wing
in the area of the cut-out for the pylon rear attachment fitting, and
repair if necessary. This new AD, for certain
[[Page 21256]]
airplanes, reduces the compliance times for the inspections. This AD
was prompted by a report that updated fatigue and damage tolerance
analyses and a fleet survey found that certain inspection thresholds
and intervals must be reduced to allow more timely findings of
cracking. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue-related
cracking in the bottom skin of the wing in the area of the cut-out for
the pylon rear attachment fitting, which could result in reduced
structural integrity of the wing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 95-18-08, Amendment 39-9355 (60 FR 47677,
September 14, 1995) (``AD 95-18-08''). AD 95-18-08 applied to all
Airbus Model A300-600 series airplanes (which includes Airbus Model
A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes), Model A300 B4-622 airplanes, and
Model A300 F4-622R airplanes that were added to the U.S. Type
Certificate Data Sheet since issuance of AD 95-18-08. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on November 19, 2015 (80 FR 72395)
(``the NPRM'' or ``the proposed AD''). The NPRM was prompted by a
report that updated fatigue and damage tolerance analyses and a fleet
survey found that certain inspection thresholds and intervals must be
reduced to allow more timely findings of cracking. The NPRM proposed to
continue to require repetitive inspections to detect cracks in the
bottom skin of the wing in the area of the cut-out for the pylon rear
attachment fitting, and repair if necessary. The NPRM also proposed,
for certain airplanes, reduce the compliance times for the inspections.
We are issuing this AD to detect and correct such fatigue-related
cracking in the bottom skin of the wing in the area of the cut-out for
the pylon rear attachment fitting, which could result in reduced
structural integrity of the wing.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0119, dated May 13, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on all Airbus Model A300
B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R
Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series
airplanes). The MCAI states:
Full-scale fatigue tests carried out on the A300-600 test
specimen by Airbus revealed crack initiation in the bottom skin
adjacent to the aft pylon attachment fitting.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could affect the
structural integrity of the aeroplane.
To address this unsafe condition, DGAC [Direction
G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation Civile] France issued AD 94-
069-158(B) (<a href="http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/1994069158tb_superseded.pdf/AD_F-1994-069-158_2">http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/1994069158tb_superseded.pdf/AD_F-1994-069-158_2</a>) [which corresponds
to FAA AD 95-18-08, Amendment 39-9355 (60 FR 47677, September 14,
1995)] to require repetitive detailed visual inspections (DVI) of
the wing bottom skin in the area of the cut-out for the pylon rear
attachment fitting on Left Hand (LH) and Right Hand (RH) wings [to
detect cracks, and repair if necessary].
Since that [DGAC] AD was issued, a fleet survey and updated
Fatigue and Damage Tolerance analyses have been performed in order
to substantiate the second A300-600 Extended Service Goal (ESG2)
exercise. As a result, it was revealed that the inspection threshold
and interval must be reduced to allow timely detection of cracks and
the accomplishment of an applicable corrective action. Prompted by
these findings, Airbus issued Revision 07 of Service Bulletin (SB)
A300-57-6028.
For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of DGAC France AD 94-069-158(B), which is superseded,
but reduces the inspection thresholds and intervals [e.g.,
compliance times].
You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail">http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail</a>;D=FAA-2015-4817-0002.
Comment
The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and the
FAA's response to the comment.
Statement on Fleet Activity
FedEx Express (FedEx) stated that the NPRM will affect 71 Model
A300 airplanes in its fleet. FedEx stated that 42 of its Model A300-F4
airplanes have not reached the inspection threshold, and it is
currently accomplishing repetitive actions on 15 of its 29 Model A300-
B4 airplanes. FedEx stated that it will adjust its inspection actions
to comply with the actions specified in the NPRM.
We acknowledge FedEx's comment. No change to this AD is necessary.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6028, Revision 07,
dated June 6, 2011. The service information describes procedures for
inspections to detect cracks in the bottom skin of the wing in the area
of the cut-out for the pylon rear attachment fitting, and repair. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.
[[Page 21257]]
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 124 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions required by AD 95-18-08, and retained in this AD take
about 6 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions
that were required by AD 95-18-08 is $510 per product.
In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 15 work-hours and require parts costing $10,000, for a cost
of $11,275 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these actions.
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 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 the 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.

(i) Definition of Average Flight Time for Paragraph (h) of This AD
For the purpose of paragraph (h) of this AD, the Average Flight
Time must be established as follows:
(1) For the initial inspection, the average flight time is the
total accumulated flight hours, counted from take-off to touch-down,
divided by the total accumulated flight cycles at the effective date
of this AD.
(2) For the first repeated inspection interval, the average
flight time is the total accumulated flight hours divided by the
total accumulated flight cycles at the time of the inspection
threshold.
(3) For all inspection intervals onwards, the average flight
time is the flight hours divided by the flight cycles accumulated
between the last two inspections.
(j) New Requirement of This AD: Corrective Action for Any Cracking
Found
If any crack is found during any inspection required by
paragraph (h) of this AD: Before further flight, repair using a
method approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus's EASA DOA.
Accomplishing a repair does not constitute terminating action for
the repetitive inspections required by paragraph (h) of this AD.
(k) Credit for Previous Actions
This paragraph provides credit for inspections required by
paragraph (h) of this AD, if those actions were performed before the
effective date of this AD using any of the service information
identified in paragraphs (k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(3) of this AD,
which are not incorporated by reference in this AD.
