Abstract

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-12- 03, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series airplanes. AD 2015-12-03 required repetitive freeplay inspections and lubrication of the right and left elevators, rudder, and rudder tab, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD was prompted by engineering testing which revealed that the force being applied to the elevator to detect excessive freeplay was insufficient. This AD continues to require certain actions in AD 2015-12-03 for certain airplanes, and requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, for certain other airplanes, to incorporate a revised or new elevator freeplay maintenance procedure, as applicable. This AD also adds airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-12-
03, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, 
-300, and -300ER series airplanes. AD 2015-12-03 required repetitive 
freeplay inspections and lubrication of the right and left elevators, 
rudder, and rudder tab, and related investigative and corrective 
actions if necessary. This AD was prompted by engineering testing which 
revealed that the force being applied to the elevator to detect 
excessive freeplay was insufficient. This AD continues to require 
certain actions in AD 2015-12-03 for certain airplanes, and requires 
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, 
for certain other airplanes, to incorporate a revised or new elevator 
freeplay maintenance procedure, as applicable. This AD also adds 
airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address 
the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective October 12, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of October 12,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2015-12-03, Amendment 39-18176 (80 FR 
34252, June 16, 2015) (AD 2015-12-03). AD 2015-12-03 applied to certain 
The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series 
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on March 24, 2022 
(87 FR 16654). The NPRM was prompted by the manufacturer's 
determination that the procedure for the rudder freeplay inspection 
available at the time did not properly detect excessive freeplay in the 
rudder control load loop. The NPRM was also prompted by engineering 
testing which revealed that the force being applied to the elevator to 
detect excessive freeplay was insufficient. In the NPRM, the FAA 
proposed to continue to require certain actions in AD 2015-12-03 for 
certain airplanes, and to require revising the existing maintenance or 
inspection program, as applicable, for certain other airplanes, to 
incorporate a revised or new elevator

[[Page 54610]]

freeplay maintenance procedure, as applicable. The NPRM also proposed 
to add airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to 
address excessive wear in the load loop components of the control 
surfaces, which could lead to excessive freeplay of the control 
surfaces, flutter, and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from The Air Line Pilots Association, 
International (ALPA) and Boeing, who supported the NPRM without change.
    The FAA received additional comments from United Airlines. The 
following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's 
response.

Request for Exception To Correct Service Information Typographical 
Error

    United Airlines (UAL) asked that the FAA consider including an 
exception in paragraph (i) of the proposed AD due to a typographical 
error in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-27-0062, 
Revision 4, dated July 15, 2021. UAL stated that it identified a 
typographical error in Appendix A, paragraph 1.f., ``Freeplay 
Inspection,'' in the CAUTION note just before step (6). UAL added that 
the note shows the conversion of 84 square inches as 5,420 square 
centimeters; however, 84 square inches calculates to 542 square 
centimeters.
    The FAA agrees that Appendix A of the referenced service 
information contains a typographical error, as described by the 
commenter. Therefore, that FAA has added an exception to paragraph 
(i)(5) of this AD which states that where Appendix A, paragraph 1.f., 
``Freeplay Inspection,'' of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 
777-27-0062, Revision 4, dated July 15, 2021, specifies to use a pad 
that distributes the force over an area of 84 square inches (5,420 
square centimeters) or more, this AD requires using a pad that 
distributes the force over an area of 84 square inches (542 square 
centimeters) or more. The FAA also revised the introductory text to 
paragraph (i)(5) to specify that a new exception has been added.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments 
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as 
proposed. Except for minor editorial changes, and any other change 
described previously, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None 
of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-27-
0062, Revision 4, dated July 15, 2021. This service information 
specifies procedures for changing the elevator freeplay instructions by 
adding changes to the input force, elevator freeplay limit, and power 
control unit (PCU) bypass test setup.
    This AD also requires Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 
777-27-0062, Revision 2, dated January 27, 2014, which the Director of 
the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of July 
21, 2015 (80 FR 34252, June 16, 2015).
    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 ADDRESSES.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 281 airplanes of U.S. 
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable the 
agency to provide cost estimates for the on-condition corrective 
actions specified in this AD.
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or 
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, 
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator 
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection 
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined 
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane 
estimate. Therefore, the FAA estimates the average total cost per Model 
777F operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in

[[Page 54611]]

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

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.
