Boeing Model 757-200, 757-200CB, and 757-200PF Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2005-04-14. Comply with the one in force.
Model 757-200, 757-200CB, and 757-200PF series airplanes, line numbers 1 through 735 inclusive, equipped with Rolls Royce Model RB211 engines, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 757-54A0039, Revision 1, dated June 20, 2002; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 757-200, 757-200CB, and 757-200PF series airplanes. This action requires repetitive detailed inspections to detect horizontal or vertical movement of the shims at the joint of the mid-bulkhead and the upper link fittings, and corrective action if necessary; or certain alternative actions that will terminate the requirement for the repetitive inspections. This action is necessary to detect and correct migration of shims at the joint of the mid-bulkhead and the upper link fittings, which could result in cracking of the strut and consequent loss of the strut and engine.
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.
