Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 Series Airplanes
This AD applies to the airplanes listed in Table 1 of this AD, certificated in any category: Table 1.--Applicability Model-- As listed in-- 767-200, -300 series airplanes.... Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767- 23A0156, dated April 19, 2001. 767-300 series airplanes.......... Boeing Alert Service Bulletins 767- 23A0147, dated April 6, 2000; 767- 23A0154, dated March 15, 2001; 767- 23A0155, dated March 29, 2001; and 767-23A0157, dated May 3, 2001.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes. This action requires modification of the wire bundles of the video control center (VCC) of the passenger address and entertainment system, and an operational test if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent chafing of the wire bundles of the VCC against the rudder and/ or elevator control cables, which could result in arcing of the wires in the wire bundles and severing of the cables. Severed cables, if combined with an engine-out during takeoff, or a high crosswind during takeoff or landing, could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
