  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness 
directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A330 and 
A340200 and 300 series airplanes. This proposal would require 
repetitive inspections for proper installation of the parachute pins 
located in the escape slides/rafts at the door 3 Type I emergency exits 
on the left and right sides of the airplane; a onetime inspection of 
the associated electrical harnesses for the escape slides/rafts for 
proper routing and installation; and corrective actions if necessary. 
This proposal also would require adjustment of the speed lacing for the 
soft covers of the escape slides/rafts, which would terminate the 
repetitive inspections. This action is necessary to prevent failure of 
the escape slides/rafts to deploy correctly at door 3 Type I emergency 
exits, which could result in the escape slides/rafts being unusable 
during an emergency evacuation, and consequent injury to passengers or 
crew members. This action is intended to address the i<script type="text/javascript">

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-05-03-30222</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness 
directive (AD) that is applicable to all BAE Systems (Operations) 
Limited Model BAe 146100A and 200A series airplanes. This proposal 
would require an inspection to determine the part number of the inner 
links of the side stays for the main landing gear (MLG), and 
replacement of the inner links with new parts, if necessary. This 
action is necessary to prevent the failure of the MLG, which could 
result in damage to the airplane structure or injury to airplane 
occupants. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe 
condition.

  <title><![CDATA[  Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500  Series Airplanes]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-05-03-30219</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the supersedure of an existing 
airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 737 
series airplanes. That AD currently requires a onetime general visual 
inspection of the seat locks and seat tracks of the flightcrew seats to 
ensure that the seats lock in position and to verify that lock nuts and 
bolts of adequate length are installed on the rear track lock bracket, 
and corrective action, if necessary. This action would revise the 
applicability of the existing AD by adding airplanes. The actions 
specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent uncommanded 
movement of the flightcrew seats during acceleration and takeoff of 
the airplane, which could result in reduced controllability of the 
airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe 
condition.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-05-03-30220</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness 
directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767200, 
300, and 300F series airplanes. This proposal would require 
performing, for both main landing gear (MLG), gap measurements of the 
upper and lower joint gaps; an ultrasonic inspection of the outer 
cylinder of the MLG for cracks between the downlock fitting attach 
lugs; and followon and corrective actions if necessary. This action is 
necessary to detect and correct cracks in the outer cylinder of the 
MLG, which could result in collapsed MLG and consequent reduced 
controllability of the airplane during takeoff and landing. This action 
is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-05-03-30221</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the supersedure of an existing 
airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Bombardier Model 
CL2151A10 and CL2156B11 series airplanes, that currently requires 
repetitive inspections to detect cracking of main landing gear (MLG) 
axles that have been reworked by chromium plating, and replacement of 
cracked axles with serviceable axles. This action would add a 
dimensional check and followon corrective actions, mandate terminating 
action for certain airplanes, and add three airplanes to the 
applicability in the existing AD. The actions specified by the proposed 
AD are intended to prevent cracking of the inner bearing surface of the 
MLG axles, which could result in failure of an axle, subsequent 
separation of the wheel from the airplane, and consequent reduced 
controllability of the airplane during takeoff or landing. This action 
is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-05-03-30225</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness 
directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Dornier Model 328100 
series airplanes. This proposal would require a onetime inspection of 
certain engine control cables to determine the batch number on the end 
fitting, and replacement of affected cables with new cables. This 
action is necessary to prevent failure of defective engine control 
cables, which could result in loss of the engine controls, and 
consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is 
intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness  directive (AD) that is applicable to<br/> [[Page 67982]]<br/>
certain Fokker Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series 
airplanes. This proposal would require repetitive general visual 
inspections, lubrication, and tests of the release mechanism for the 
service/emergency door; and corrective actions if necessary. This 
proposal also provides an optional terminating action for the 
repetitive inspections and lubrication. This action is necessary to 
prevent failure of the release mechanism on the service/emergency door, 
which could result in the inability to open the service/emergency door 
during an emergency evacuation. This action is intended to address the 
identified unsafe condition.

  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness 
directive (AD) that is applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model 
DC981 (MD81), DC982 (MD82), DC983 (MD83), DC987 (MD87), and 
Model MD88 airplanes. This proposal would require replacement of 
certain freeze protection ribbon heaters in the lavatory water supply 
system, and flushing, cleaning, and sterilizing the potable water 
system; disconnecting, coiling, and stowing the wiring of the freeze 
protection ribbon heater; or removal of freeze protection heaters. This 
action is necessary to prevent failure of freeze protection ribbon 
heaters, which could result in the charring, scorching, smoking, and 
shorting out of freeze protection ribbon heaters in the lavatory water 
supply system. This condition, if not corrected, could also result in 
electrical arcing of freeze protection ribbon heaters, leading to fire 
and damage to water lines and components under the lavatory sink. This 
action is intended to address the identified unsafe conditio<script type="text/javascript">

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-05-03-30256</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 
20020109, which applies to all Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Models 
PC7, PC12, and PC12/45 airplanes that incorporate a certain engine
driven pump. AD 20020109 currently requires you to inspect the joints 
between the enginedriven pump housing, the relief valve housing, and 
the relief valve cover for signs of fuel leakage and extruding gasket 
material; replace any enginedriven pump with any of the above 
problems; and ensure that the relief valve attachment screws are 
adequately torqued and retorque as necessary. This proposed AD is the 
result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 
by the airworthiness authority for Switzerland. This proposed AD would 
retain the actions from AD 20020109, would add certain enginedriven 
pumps to the applicability, and would require eventual replacement of 
the pump with an improved design pump to assure that the unsafe 
condition does not recur. We are issuing this proposed AD to det<script type="text/javascript">

November 5, 2003, by Canadian National Railway Company (CNR, a rail 
carrier that controls several rail carrier subsidiaries) and Grand
