Summary
This action withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas airplane models. That action would have superseded an existing AD to require that the repetitive inspections of the numbers 1 and 2 electric motors of the auxiliary hydraulic pump for electrical resistance, continuity, mechanical rotation, and associated airplane wiring resistance/voltage; and corrective actions, if necessary; be performed at reduced intervals. Since the issuance of the NPRM, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has determined that the proposed inspection requirements are identical to the inspection requirements of another existing AD. Accordingly, the proposed rule is withdrawn.
