Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13026 · Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes
Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2010-03-08. Comply with the one in force.
Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series airplanes, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-54A0062, Revision 5, dated November 11, 2002; certificated in any category.
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Boeing Model 767 series airplanes, that currently requires repetitive detailed and eddy current inspections to detect cracks of certain midspar fuse pins, and replacement of any cracked midspar fuse pin with a new fuse pin. This amendment reduces certain compliance times for certain inspections, expands the detailed and eddy current inspections, and limits the applicability in the existing AD. This amendment also provides for optional terminating action, which ends the repetitive inspections. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent loss of the strut and engine due to corrosion damage and cracking of both fuse pins on the same strut. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
