FedEx Express

FedEx Express has reviewed the proposed changes and additions to the mandatory critical life-limited parts inspection requirements detailed in the subject rule-making. After consulting with our primary engine overhaul vendor, FedEx is confident that the proposed Airworthiness Directive would not negatively impact our airline economically or operationally. The additional inspections are already being performed as part of our routine overhaul and AD 2002-07-12 is currently complied with as part of FedEx's established engine maintenance program. The relatively minor expansion to the scope of the inspection mandate in the superseding AD will not require any changes to our system or incremental increase in shop visit costs. In addition, FedEx has no technical or legal objections to the content of the amendment. As such, FedEx supports the proposed rule change as is.”
