These Emergency Evacuation Slide/Raft Systems are installed on, but not limited to Boeing 777-200 and -300 series airplanes.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to a certain Air Cruisers Company Emergency Evacuation Slide/Raft System. This amendment requires a one-time unpacking and subsequent repacking of the slide/raft system, identified by serial numbers (SN's), and mandates repacking of all other slide/raft systems of the same design at the next required normal maintenance schedule of the slide/ raft system. This amendment is prompted by reports of separation of the lower aspirator during a number of deployments. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the slide/raft to properly inflate, which could impede the emergency evacuation of passengers in the event of an airplane emergency.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
