Boeing Model 767-400ER, 777-200, and 777-300 Series Airplanes
This AD applies to Boeing Model 767-400ER series airplanes, certificated in any category, having Variable Numbers VQ071 through VQ076 inclusive; and Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 777-25-0217, dated July 17, 2003.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 767-400ER, 777-200, and 777-300 series airplanes. This AD requires replacing, with new parts, the existing tie-down fitting studs that secure galleys, purser work stations, and closets to the seat tracks. This AD is prompted by a report that tie-down fitting studs were found damaged. We are issuing this AD to prevent a galley, purser work station, or closet from detaching from the tie-down fitting studs during an emergency landing, which could injure passengers or crewmembers, or obstruct escape routes and impede emergency evacuation.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 60 months after the effective date of this AD: Replace, with new parts, the existing tie-down fitting studs that secure galleys, purser work stations, and floor-mounted closets to the seat tracks, by doing all of the actions specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 767-25-0338, dated October 9, 2003 (for Boeing Model 767-400ER series airplanes); or Boeing Service Bulletin 777-25-0217, dated July 17, 2003 (for Boeing Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes); as applicable.
For Boeing Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes: Replacements accomplished before the effective date of this AD according to Boeing Service Bulletin 777-25-0217, dated July 18, 2002, are considered acceptable for compliance with the corresponding action specified in this AD.
