## Summary

This action withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Boeing Model 727 series airplanes. That action would have superseded an existing AD to require repetitive visual inspections to detect cracking in the elevator rear spar and repair, if necessary; provide for an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections; and add a one-time inspection of certain airplanes for clearance between the shear plate and the radii of the rear spar. Since the issuance of the NPRM, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued other rulemaking that requires actions equivalent to those proposed. Accordingly, the proposed rule is withdrawn.
