Boeing Model 767-200, -300, and -300F Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2005-11-02. Comply with the one in force.
Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series airplanes; as listed in Boeing Service Bulletin 767-53-0078, Revision 2, dated April 19, 2001; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series airplanes. This action requires inspections for fatigue cracking of the horizontal stabilizer pivot bulkhead, and repetitive inspections or other follow-on actions. This action also provides a permanent repair, which is optional for airplanes with no cracks, and, if accomplished, ends the repetitive inspections. This action is necessary to find and fix fatigue cracking of the horizontal stabilizer pivot bulkhead and adjacent structure, which could result in loss of the horizontal stabilizer. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
