SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 787-8 and 787-9 airplanes. This AD was
prompted by a report of an in-service reliability issue of a latent
flow sensor failure combined with single cabin air compressor (CAC)
operation. This condition resulted in reduced airflow which led to a
persistent single CAC surge condition that caused overheat damage to
the CAC inlet. This AD requires installing new pack control unit (PCU)
software for the cabin air conditioning and temperature control system
(CACTCS) and new CAC outlet pressure sensor J-tube hardware, and doing
related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective July 16, 2018.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of July 16,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Boeing Model 787-8
and 787-9 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
October 6, 2017 (82 FR 46719). The NPRM was prompted by a report of an
in-service reliability issue of a latent flow sensor failure combined
with single CAC operation. This condition resulted in reduced airflow
which led to a persistent single CAC surge condition that caused
overheat damage to the CAC inlet. The NPRM proposed to require
installing new PCU software for the CACTCS and new CAC outlet pressure
sensor J-tube hardware, and doing related investigative and corrective
actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent CAC inlet
overheating leading to structural degradation of the CAC inlet, fumes
in the cabin and flight deck, and interruption to in-service air
conditioning.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents the comments received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.
Support for the NPRM
A commenter, Nicholas Weber, and the Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) had no objection to the NPRM. United Airlines and
Jetstar Airways agreed with the NPRM but submitted comments, which are
addressed below.
Request to Reference Latest Service Information
Boeing and Etihad Airways requested we refer to Boeing Service
Bulletin B787-81205-SB210077-00, Issue 004, dated September 22, 2017.
Boeing stated that the NPRM refers to Boeing Service Bulletin B787-
81205-SB210077-00, Issue 003, dated October 20, 2016, and it should be
Issue 004 instead.
We agree that this final rule should refer to the latest service
information. We have reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-
SB210077-00, Issue 004, dated September 22, 2017, which provides minor
corrections. We have determined the revised actions have no effect on
airplanes on which the earlier actions were completed. We revised the
``Related Service Information under 1 CFR part 51'' paragraph of this
final rule to refer to Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210077-00,
Issue 004, dated September 22, 2017. We revised paragraphs (c)(2) and
(g)(1) of this AD to refer to Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-
SB210077-00, Issue 004, dated September 22, 2017. We also added
paragraph (h)(5) to this AD to provide credit for using Boeing Service
Bulletin B787-81205-SB210077-00, Issue 003, dated October 20, 2016, to
accomplish the required actions in paragraph (g) of this AD, provided
those actions were performed before the effective date of this AD.
Request To Allow Updated Software Version
Jetstar Airways and United Airlines requested that paragraph (g) of
the proposed AD be updated to allow for compliance to also be met by
installing
[[Page 26834]]
the newer PCU Y-103 (software part number (P/N) HAM56-21PC-1030)
software per Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210083-00, Issue 001,
dated February 9, 2017. Jetstar Airways stated that since the release
of Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210075-00, Issue 003, dated
March 29, 2017; and Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210077-00,
Issue 003, dated October 20, 2016; which describe procedures for
installation of PCU Y-102 (software P/N HAM57-21PC-1020) software via
Work Package 1, there has been new PCU Y-103 software released per
Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210083-00, Issue 001, dated
February 9, 2017. Jetstar stated its understanding that Work Packages 2
and 3 of Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210075-00, Issue 003,
dated March 29, 2017; or Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210077-
00, Issue 003, dated October 20, 2016; must also be done in order to
meet compliance with the proposed AD.
We agree because we reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-
SB210083-00, Issue 001, dated February 9, 2017, and we have determined
that compliance can be met by installing the new PCU Y-103 (software P/
N HAM56-21PC-1030) software or installing the previous PCU Y-102
(software P/N HAM57-21PC-1020) software, provided that Work Packages 2
and 3 of Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210075-00, Issue 003,
dated March 29, 2017; or Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210077-
00, Issue 004, dated September 22, 2017; are also done. We revised the
``Related Service Information under 1 CFR part 51'' paragraph of this
final rule to include Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210083-00,
Issue 001, dated February 9, 2017. We have revised paragraphs (g)(1)
and (g)(2) of this AD to allow Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-
SB210083-00, Issue 001, dated February 9, 2017, as an optional method
of compliance for Work Package 1 of Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-
SB210075-00, Issue 003, dated March 29, 2017; and Boeing Service
Bulletin B787-81205-SB210077-00, Issue 004, dated September 22, 2017.
Request To Include Required for Compliance (RC) Steps
United Airlines observed Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-
SB210075-00, Issue 003, dated March 29, 2017; and Boeing Service
Bulletin B787-81205-SB210077-00, Issue 004, dated September 22, 2017;
do not contain steps that are designated as RC (Required for
Compliance).
We infer the commenter is requesting that Boeing revise the service
information or that we clarify which steps are RC. We disagree with
making any changes because the operators can still complete the AD
requirements with the steps contained in the Accomplishment
Instructions of the referenced service information. In addition,
waiting for Boeing to change the service information would delay the
release of the AD. Further, certain steps include aircraft maintenance
manual (AMM) reference material. When the words ``refer to'' are used
and the operator has an accepted alternative procedure, the accepted
alternative procedure can be used without the need to obtain an
alternative method of compliance (AMOC). We have not changed this AD in
this regard.
Requests To Clarify the Discussion Section
Boeing requested that we make several clarifications to the
Discussion section of the NPRM. Boeing requested that the following
changes be made to the Discussion section of the NPRM:
<bullet> Add the following statement: ``The redesigned CAC outlet
pressure sensor J-Tube hardware is to prevent transducer fouling, which
could compromise surge detection.'' Boeing stated the NPRM does not
describe the purpose of the hardware change.
<bullet> In the sentence, ``Smarter Environmental Control System
ensures that airflow is distributed equally across the CACs,'' replace
the phrase ``Smarter Environmental Control System'' with ``the system
controller.'' Boeing stated airflow distribution amongst CACs does not
pertain to what they refer to as the Smarter Environmental Control
System, and the fundamental control approach for CACs attempts to
distribute flow equally across CACs.
<bullet> Modify the sentence ``PCU software logic was only designed
to detect the surge when both CACs were operating on the same pack, and
therefore, it was unable to detect a persistent single CAC surge
condition which led to CAC inlet overheating'' to ``PCU software logic
was only designed to react to the surge when both CACs are operating on
the same pack, and therefore, it was unable to command a termination of
the persistent single CAC surge condition which led to CAC inlet
overheating.'' Boeing stated that when only a single CAC is operating
on a pack and airflow drops to an unintended low level, the surge will
be detected by the system controls. Boeing explained that due to a
software requirements error, the CAC will not be shut down and the
surge can persist. Boeing concluded that the issue is not that the
surge is undetected but rather that the issue is that the controls fail
to react to that surge condition.
<bullet> Modify the sentence ``In addition, we received a report of
an in-service event involving foreign object debris in the CAC inlet
and accumulation at the ozone converter that also led to a persistent
single CAC surge resulting in overheat damage to the CAC inlet
housing'' to ``In addition, we received a report of an in-service event
involving persistent single CAC surge resulting in overheat damage to
the CAC inlet housing and foreign object debris in the CAC inlet and
accumulation at the ozone converter.'' Boeing stated that aspects of
this particular event are unknown; however, it is likely the foreign
object debris was a result of the persistent surge event.
<bullet> Modify the sentence ``The proposed PCU software change
would redistribute the airflow to provide more flow to a single CAC,
reducing the potential for a CAC surge'' to ``The PCU software change
enables a single CAC in surge to be commanded off in order to prevent
the persistent surge condition. Additionally, the software
redistributes the airflow to provide more flow to a single CAC,
reducing the potential for a CAC surge.'' Boeing stated the software
changes are not ``proposed'' and already exist. Boeing also stated the
key software feature needed for persistent surge prevention was not in
the original sentence.
<bullet> Modify the sentence ``Reduced airflow leading to
persistent CAC surge conditions and CAC inlet overheating, if not
corrected, could result in structural degradation of the CAC inlet, and
fumes in the cabin and flight deck, as well as causing interruption to
in-service air conditioning'' to ``PCU controls that do not react to a
single CAC in persistent CAC surge conditions leading to CAC inlet
overheating, if not corrected, could result in structural degradation
of the CAC inlet, and fumes in the cabin and flight deck, as well as
causing interruption to in-service air conditioning.'' Boeing stated
that the purpose of the redistribution of CAC airflow is to minimize
surge occurrence and does not relate to the overall prevention of CAC
inlet overheat.
We agree that the changes requested by Boeing are accurate.
However, since the text of the NPRM that Boeing referenced is not
restated in this final rule, no change to the final rule is necessary.
Request for Credit for Previous Actions Accomplished
Boeing and Etihad Airways requested that we include Boeing Service
Bulletin
[[Page 26835]]
B787-81205-SB210077-00, Issue 001, dated April 19, 2016, as a method of
compliance in the proposed AD. Boeing also requested that we include
Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210075-00, Issue 001, dated
February 24, 2016. Boeing requested that the service information be
added to paragraph (h) of the proposed AD as credit for previous
actions. Boeing stated that not all service information revisions were
included in paragraph (h) of the proposed AD, yet they all warrant
credit for addressing the AD. Etihad Airways noted that incorporation
of all revisions of Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210075-00
comply with the proposed AD requirements.
We agree. We have reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-
SB210075-00, Issue 001, dated February 24, 2016; and Boeing Service
Bulletin B787-81205-SB210077-00, Issue 001, dated April 19, 2016; and
the changes made to later revisions are clarifications. We have
determined that airplanes on which the actions specified in the earlier
revisions were done would be compliant with this AD.
In paragraph (h)(1) of this AD, we added Boeing Service Bulletin
B787-81205-SB210075-00, Issue 001, dated February 24, 2016, to provide
credit and redesignated subsequent paragraphs accordingly. We also
added paragraph (h)(3) of this AD to add Boeing Service Bulletin B787-
81205-SB210077-00, Issue 001, dated April 19, 2016.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the changes described previously and minor
editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210075-00, Issue
003, dated March 29, 2017; and Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-
SB210077-00, Issue 004, dated September 22, 2017. The service
information describes procedures for installing new PCU software for
the CACTCS and new CAC outlet pressure sensor J-tube hardware, and
doing related investigative and corrective actions. These documents are
distinct since they apply to different airplane models.
We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB210083-00, Issue
001, dated February 9, 2017. The service information describes
procedures for installing new PCU software for the CACTCS to recover
the CAC from surges by reconfiguration flow schedules.
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.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 62 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Software Installation................. 1 work-hour x $85 per $0 $85 $5,270

Modify Left and Right Inboard and 20 work-hours x $85 per 22,821 24,521 1,520,302
Outboard CAC Modules. hour = $1,700.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
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.
This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.
Regulatory Findings
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.
