line, and 36,000 flights below the win-
dow line.
(iii) Model B4–200: 25,500 flights above
the window line, and 34,000 flights
below the window line.
(2) For all models of the British Aero-
space BAC 1–11, the flight cycle imple-
mentation time is 60,000 flights.
(3) For all models of the Boeing 707,
the flight cycle implementation time is
15,000 flights.
(4) For all models of the Boeing 720,
the flight cycle implementation time is
23,000 flights.
(5) For all models of the Boeing 727,
the flight cycle implementation time is
45,000 flights.
(6) For all models of the Boeing 737,

15,000 flights.
(8) For all models of the McDonnell
Douglas DC–8, the flight cycle imple-
mentation time is 30,000 flights.
(9) For all models of the McDonnell
Douglas DC–9/MD–80, the flight cycle
implementation time is 60,000 flights.
(10) For all models of the McDonnell
Douglas DC–10, the flight cycle imple-
mentation time is 30,000 flights.
(11) For all models of the Lockheed
L–1011, the flight cycle implementation
time is 27,000 flights.
(12) For the Fokker F–28 Mark 1000,
2000, 3000, and 4000, the flight cycle im-
plementation time is 60,000 flights.

airplanes with a type certificate issued
after January 1, 1958, that, as a result
of original type certification or later
increase in capacity, have—
(1) A maximum type-certificated pas-
senger capacity of 30 or more, or
(2) A maximum payload capacity of
7,500 pounds or more.
(b) For each airplane on which an
auxiliary fuel tank is installed under a
field approval, before June 16, 2008, the
