The FAA is adopting an airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8 airplanes. This AD requires a one-time inspection of the horizontal stabilizer pivot pin assemblies for misalignment and incorrect gapping, and applicable on-condition actions. This AD was prompted by a report of possible misalignment of the horizontal stabilizer pivot pin lock ring, outer pivot pin, and outboard spacer at final assembly. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this AD: At the applicable times specified in the “Compliance” paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB550009-00 RB, Issue 001, dated April 2, 2019, do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB550009-00 RB, Issue 001, dated April 2, 2019.
Note 1 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing the actions required by this AD can be found in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB550009-00, dated April 2, 2019, which is referred to in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB550009-00 RB, Issue 001, dated April 2, 2019.
For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of this AD: Where Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB550009-00 RB, Issue 001, dated April 2, 2019, uses the phrase “the Issue 001 date of Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB550009-00 RB,” this AD requires using “the effective date of this AD.”
