SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all PW Model PW4052, 
PW4056, PW4060, PW4060A, PW4060C, PW4062, PW4062A, PW4152, PW4156, 
PW4156A, PW4158, PW4460, and PW4462 engines. The NPRM was published in 
the Federal Register on May 26, 2026 (91 FR 30514). The NPRM was 
prompted by multiple events involving PW PW4000-94 engines in which 
tailpipe fire, loss of thrust control, and engine in-flight shutdown 
occurred. A manufacturer investigation revealed that these events were 
caused by undetected deterioration of Pb sensors due to epoxy 
deterioration, which can lead to erroneous Pb sensor measurements and 
incorrect fuel commands. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require 
replacing Pb sensors within certain compliance times. The FAA is 
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from 10 commenters. Commenters included 
Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), Atlas Air, Boeing 
Commercial Airplanes (Boeing), Delta Air Lines, Inc (DAL), European Air 
Transport Leipzig GmbH, FedEx, the Foundation for Aviation Safety, PW, 
United Airlines (United), and United Parcel Service (UPS). ALPA and 
Boeing supported the NPRM without change. The following presents the 
comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Include Service Material as an Approved Method of Compliance

    Atlas Air and UPS requested that the FAA revise the NPRM to include 
the use of certain service material as acceptable forms of compliance 
with the NPRM. Specifically, Atlas Air requested that the FAA include 
Collins Aerospace Service Bulletin (SB) EEC1-73-62 or PW SB PW4ENG 73-
221 as approved methods of compliance. UPS requested that the FAA 
include replacement of Pb sensors with new Pb sensors (in accordance 
with the component maintenance manual or other approved procedures) and 
accomplishment of Collins Aerospace SB EEC1-73-62 as approved methods 
of compliance. Atlas Air noted that all required actions in the NPRM 
were derived from the accomplishment instructions in Collins Aerospace 
SB EEC1-73-62.
    The FAA disagrees with the request. The FAA acknowledges that 
Collins Aerospace SB EEC1-73-62 and PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 
3, dated July 1, 2024 (PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3) are 
acceptable methods for compliance with this AD, but notes that 
incorporating these materials by reference is unnecessary because this 
AD already includes all relevant information for compliance. The FAA 
did not change this AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Include Additional Engine Models

    DAL and PW requested that the FAA revise paragraph (c) of the 
proposed AD to include engine models with a dash number suffix 
identified in PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3. Specifically, DAL 
requested all dash number suffix variants, while PW requested only -3 
(Phase III) models be included. PW noted that all -3 (Phase III) engine 
model configurations are included in both the FAA type certificate data 
sheet (TCDS) and PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3. PW also stated 
that this revision would improve alignment between the NPRM and PW 
maintenance instructions and would eliminate ambiguity for operators 
during compliance planning.
    The FAA disagrees with the request because dash number suffixes and 
other configuration designations are not separate engine models 
recognized by the TCDS and therefore, are not listed in the 
applicability of this AD. The FAA notes that engines identified by dash 
number suffixes that correspond to listed TCDS engine models are 
already included within the applicability of this AD. The FAA did not 
change this AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Limit Applicability to Engines With Certain Pb Sensors

    DAL requested that the FAA revise paragraph (c) of the proposed AD 
to only include engines with electronic engine controls (EEC) that have 
Pb sensor part number (P/N) 800833-1 or P/N 796163-1 installed. DAL 
stated that if Collins Aerospace certifies a new Pb sensor P/N, the 
certification process would ensure that the same deterioration, as 
addressed by the NPRM, would not exist.
    The FAA disagrees with the request. If a new configuration Pb 
sensor is released and proven not susceptible to the unsafe condition, 
then the FAA would consider adjusting the required actions for that Pb 
sensor at that time, including alternative methods of compliance (AMOC) 
requested under the provisions of paragraph (i) of this AD. The FAA did 
not change this AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Clarify Tracking Method for Flight Hours (FH)

    DAL and United requested that the FAA revise paragraph (h) of the 
proposed AD to clarify that if the FH cannot be determined for the Pb 
sensor, guidance for determining the age of the Pb sensors may be found 
in PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3. Specifically, United requested 
that guidance stating that the EEC operational hours can also be 
established by multiplying years in service by 3,048 hours or average 
utilization per year be included in the NPRM. United stated that 
industry experience indicates that while the EEC timer tracks sensor 
replacement intervals based on operational hours, a significant number 
of units arrive at shop visits with unreliable EEC times that cannot be 
used to determine operating hours. DAL noted that most operators track 
operating times (including time since new) and operating cycles 
(including cycles since new) of the EEC, similar to how operators track 
life limits on life limited parts, making EEC flight hour tracking a 
sufficient method for monitoring the 30,000 FH limit on the Pb sensor.
    The FAA disagrees with the request because operators are 
responsible for tracking and determining the FH and years since new or 
since repair for Pb sensors, and the methodology for this practice is 
not specifically required in this AD. Note 1 to paragraph (h) of this

[[Page 65946]]

AD identifies that guidance for determining the age of Pb sensors may 
be found in PW Service Bulletin PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3. The FAA 
did not change this AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Clarify Use of ``Years in Service''

    European Air Transport Leipzig GmbH requested that the FAA explain 
the use of the term ``years in service'' in the NPRM, and DAL requested 
that the FAA change the term ``10 years in service'' to ``10 calendar 
years since the EEC was made serviceable with a new or repaired Pb 
sensor installed.'' European Air Transport Leipzig GmbH stated that 
EECs stored in a controlled environment (individually or on preserved 
spare engines) do not experience epoxy deterioration in the same manner 
as EECs actively operated on aircraft, so the ``years in service'' 
counter should be applied differently for stored/preserved EECs versus 
those in active operation. DAL noted that the accomplishment 
instructions in PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3 and Hamilton 
Sundstrand SB EEC131-73-62, Revision 1, dated January 20, 2023, 
determine Pb sensor operational hours and years of service based on EEC 
operating hours. DAL added that if the Pb sensor is not installed in an 
operating EEC, hours and years would not accrue, and time outside of an 
EEC would not count toward years of service.
    The FAA partially agrees with the request. The FAA agrees that the 
term ``years in service'' should be revised to provide clarity as to 
the intent of the compliance time, but the FAA disagrees with the 
proposed language. The FAA has revised the language in paragraphs (g) 
and (h) of this AD to ``years since new or since last repair.'' The FAA 
disagrees with commenter's position regarding epoxy deterioration on 
stored EECs because the FAA has no data demonstrating that EECs stored 
separately or installed on preserved spare engines experience a 
different rate of deterioration than EECs in active operation. However, 
the FAA notes that once this AD is published, any person may request 
approval of an AMOC under the provisions of paragraph (i) of this AD.

Request To Remove Extra Asterisk in Table 1 to Paragraph (h)

    DAL and FedEx requested that the FAA remove the second asterisk 
from the heading in the fourth column of table 1 to paragraph (h) in 
the proposed AD. DAL noted that they believe the second asterisk was 
inadvertently added.
    The FAA agrees with the request and has removed the second asterisk 
from the heading in the fourth column of table 1 to paragraph (h) of 
this AD.

Request To Clarify Definition of ``Part Eligible for Installation''

    FedEx requested that the FAA clarify the definition of a ``part 
eligible for installation'' in paragraph (g) of the proposed AD. 
Specifically, FedEx noted that the current definition permits 
installation of a used Pb sensor that is near its service limits (e.g., 
29,999 FH and 9 years 11 months) and asked how operators should handle 
such a sensor once it exceeds the AD limits shortly after return to 
service. Additionally, FedEx requested clarification on whether a 
repair resets both the flight-hour and calendar-service times to zero, 
and if so, whether a new calendar date label must be applied to the 
sensor to reflect the updated service times.
    The FAA agrees to clarify. The FAA has revised the language in 
paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD from ``years in service'' to ``years 
since new or since last repair.'' For the scenario provided, a Pb 
sensor with 29,999 FH and 9 years 11 months since new or since last 
repair require replacement in accordance with paragraph (h)(2) of this 
AD. The FAA notes that operators are responsible for tracking and 
determining the FH and years since new or since repair for Pb sensors, 
and the methodology for this practice is not specifically required in 
this AD. The FAA did not change this AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Refer to Service Material

    FedEx requested that the FAA revise paragraph (h)(1) of the 
proposed AD to require the step to be performed in accordance with PW 
SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3. FedEx noted that currently, the 
instructions for continued airworthiness are not directly cited and the 
NPRM only includes PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3, as a reference 
for determining utilization.
    The FAA disagrees with the request to incorporate PW SB PW4ENG 73-
221, Revision No. 3, by reference. Paragraph (h)(1) of this AD 
identifies the part that needs to be replaced, the part eligible for 
installation, and the compliance times for replacement. The FAA did not 
incorporate PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3, by reference because 
the AD allows any FAA-approved method for replacing the Pb sensor and 
incorporating this service bulletin by reference would unnecessarily 
restrict operators. The FAA did not change this AD as a result of this 
comment.

Request To Revise Unrelated Service Material

    FedEx requested that the FAA add a data field to the label field in 
Figure 2 of Hamilton Sundstrand SB EEC 131-73-64. Fed Ex stated that 
for cargo and other low-utilization operations, the calendar-date 
limitation may be more restrictive than the flight-hour limit and 
making Pb sensor hours and date code readily visible without 
disassembling the EEC would be helpful for ongoing maintenance and 
compliance.
    The FAA disagrees with the request because the referenced service 
material is not applicable to this AD. The FAA also notes that the FAA 
does not control service bulletin content. The FAA did not change this 
AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Clarify How Average Utilization is Calculated

    FedEx requested that the FAA clarify the acceptable method for 
calculating average utilization. FedEx noted that the NPRM does not 
define ``average utilization'' and asked whether this refers to the 
operator's fleet average, the average for the specific aircraft on 
which the sensor is installed, or an industry or fleet-wide average. 
FedEx also stated that the accomplishment instructions of Hamilton 
Sundstrand SB EEC131-73-62 indicate that operational hours may be 
determined ``by multiplying years in service by 3,048 hours or average 
utilization per year.''
    The FAA disagrees with the request. The FAA notes that operators 
are responsible for tracking and determining the FH and years since new 
or since repair for Pb sensors, and the methodology for this practice 
is not specifically required in this AD. The FAA also notes that the 
referenced service material is not applicable to this AD, and the FAA 
does not control service bulletin content. The FAA did not change this 
AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Clarify Compliance Time

    The Foundation for Aviation Safety requested that the FAA clarify 
why Pb sensor replacement is not an immediate compliance requirement in 
the NPRM. The Foundation for Aviation Safety stated that Pb sensor 
replacement is a 2-hour fix to guard against engine fires or other 
engine catastrophes.
    The FAA agrees to clarify. Although Pb sensor replacement is a 
maintenance task that can be accomplished in a relatively short amount 
of time, compliance time is not driven by ease of replacement, and the 
phased replacement approach required by this

[[Page 65947]]

AD reduces operator burden while still ensuring the overall safety of 
the fleet. The FAA did not change this AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Update Service Material Revision Number

    PW requested that the FAA update the NPRM to reference the 
appropriate revision number and date for PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision 
No. 3, if the SB is revised before the FAA final rule is published. PW 
noted that engine models PW4060A, PW4060C, and PW4156 are included in 
the NPRM and in the TCDS but do not appear in PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, 
Revision No. 3. PW stated that since the NPRM proposed actions that are 
derived from PW SB PW4ENG 73-221, Revision No. 3, PW will review 
whether a revision to this SB is warranted to ensure that operators of 
these engine models have the proper guidance necessary to accomplish 
the AD requirements.
    The FAA acknowledges the request but notes that PW SB PW4ENG 73-
221, Revision No. 3, is not incorporated by reference in this AD, and 
the SB was not revised prior to the issuance of this final rule. The 
FAA did not change this AD as a result of this comment.

Request To Modify Calendar-Time Compliance Option

    UPS requested that the FAA modify the calendar-time compliance 
option for low-utilization operators (less than 1,200 cycles per year). 
UPS proposed a 15-year compliance interval rather than the 10-year 
interval specified in paragraph (h)(2) of the proposed AD. UPS noted 
that they were not requesting a change to the flight-hours requirement 
for low-utilization operators.
    The FAA disagrees with the request. The commenter provided no 
justification for the request, and the FAA notes that the failure 
mechanism of the Pb sensor (the epoxy degradation) was analyzed and is 
driven by both utilization and calendar time, and the compliance times 
identified in this AD are required to maintain the safe operation of 
the fleet. The FAA also notes that, in response to a previous comment, 
the term ``years in service'' was revised to ``years since new or since 
last repair'' in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD to provide clarity 
as to the intent. The FAA did not change this AD as a result of this 
comment.

Request To Add Methodology for Determining Pb Sensor FH/Calendar Time

    UPS requested that the FAA allow for the use of the highest 
accumulated FH or the oldest repair date of any Pb sensor in the fleet 
for determining the applicable replacement compliance timeframe for Pb 
sensors with unknown FH or calendar time since new or since repair.
    The FAA disagrees with the request because operators are 
responsible for tracking and determining the FH and years since new or 
since repair for Pb sensors, and the methodology for this practice is 
not specifically required in this AD. The FAA did not change this AD as 
a result of this comment.

Conclusion

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

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 210 engines installed on 
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with 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.
    The FAA is 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

    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.
