Title: Aging Aircraft Program (Widespread Fatigue Damage)
Abstract: This rulemaking will prevent widespread fatigue damage by proposing to require that design approval holders establish operational limits on transport category airplanes. Design approval holders will also be required to determine if maintenance actions are needed to prevent widespread fatigue damage before an airplane reaches its operational limit. Operators of any affected airplane will be required to incorporate the operational limit and any necessary service information into their maintenance programs. Operation of an affected airplane beyond the operational limit will be prohibited, unless an operator has incorporated an extended operational limit and any necessary service information into its maintenance program.
