Subject:
Fuel System - Fuel Tank Connection Hose Deterioration
Applicability:
Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. model DA 40, DA 40 D, DA 40 F and DA 40 NG aeroplanes, all serial
numbers.
Compliance:
As indicated, unless already accomplished.
Background:
Diamond Aircraft Industries (DAI) has received reports of fuel tank connection hose deterioration on the
DA 40 aeroplanes. In a number of cases, rubber parts from the hoses were found in the fuel tank and
gascolator. Investigation determined that the affected connection hoses originated from two isolated
batches. Some of the affected hoses were installed on aeroplanes during production, while others were
sold as replacement parts.
Deterioration of fuel tank connection hoses, if not corrected, could result in contamination of the fuel
system and restriction of fuel flow, leading to fuel starvation and reduced control of the aeroplane.
To address this unsafe condition, DAl issued Mandatory Service Bulletins (MSBs) to provide instructions
for identifying and replacing the affected parts. The MSBs also provide instructions to inspect the fuel tank
chambers and remove rubber parts that have detached from the hoses. This AD mandates replacement
of the affected parts, associated inspections and corrective actions detailed in the MSBs.
Corrective Actions:

replace each affected part in accordance with the applicable MSBs.
2. Within 100 hours air time or 2 months, whichever occurs first, from the effective date of this AD,
replace each part that was installed as a replacement part on or after 13 July 2017, if it cannot be
ascertained that the part is not an affected part listed in A.2.a. or A.2.b. above.
C. Inspection of Main Fuel Tank Chambers and Removal of Detached Rubber Parts

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing
Company Model 747-400 and 747-400F series airplanes. This AD was prompted by an evaluation
that determined fatigue cracks could develop in the underwing longerons. This AD requires repetitive
inspections of the underwing longerons and certain fuselage skins for any crack, and applicable on-
condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective November 27, 2019.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain
publication listed in this AD as of November 27, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding
an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing Company Model 747-400 and 747-400F series
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July 12, 2019 (84 FR 33189). The NPRM
was prompted by an evaluation that determined fatigue cracks could develop in the underwing
longerons. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive inspections of the underwing longerons and
certain fuselage skins for any crack, and applicable on-condition actions.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracks in the underwing longerons, which could result in
fuel leakage into the pressurized fuselage and increase the risk of a fire, and to address cracks in the
adjacent fuselage skin, which could result in rapid decompression. Either condition could adversely
affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this final rule. The FAA
has considered the comments received. Boeing and United Airlines indicated concurrence with the
NPRM.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air
safety and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for minor editorial
changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for addressing the unsafe
condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-53A2900 RB, dated April 11, 2019.
This service information describes procedures for repetitive detailed inspections and ultrasonic
inspections of the underwing longerons and the adjacent fuselage skin, and ultrasonic and surface
high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of certain fuselage skins, on the left and right sides
of the airplane, for any crack, and applicable on-condition actions. On-condition actions include
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.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 20 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this AD:

Estimated Costs for Required Actions
Action Labor cost Parts Cost per Cost on U.S.

inspection cycle cycle
The FAA has 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.
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.
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) 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.
