the window line, and 34,000 flights 
below the window line.

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,

(6) For all models of the Boeing 737, 

the flight cycle implementation time is 
60,000 flights. 

(7) For all models of the Boeing 747,

(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.

(d) The proposed fuel tank system in-

spection program revisions specified in 
paragraph (c) of this section must be
