Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21995 · Equipment/furnishings
The Boeing Company Airplanes
This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 757-25-0315 RB, Revision 2, dated March 17, 2021.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating the passenger service units (PSUs) and life vest panels became separated from their attachments during several survivable accident sequences. This AD requires installing lanyard assemblies on the PSUs, and, for certain airplanes, on the life vest panels and video panels as applicable. 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 Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 757-25-0315 RB, Revision 2, dated March 17, 2021, do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 757-25-0315 RB, Revision 2, dated March 17, 2021.
Note 1 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing the actions required by this AD can be found in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-25-0315, Revision 2, dated March 17, 2021, which is referred to in Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 757-25-0315 RB, Revision 2, dated March 17, 2021.
(1) Where Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 757-25-0315 RB, Revision 2, dated March 17, 2021, uses the phrase “the Revision 2 date of Requirements Bulletin 757-25-0315 RB,” this AD requires using “the effective date of this AD.”
(2) The lanyard installation specified in paragraph (g) of this AD is not required on Model 757-200 airplanes modified per VT Mobile Aerospace Engineering (VT MAE) supplemental type certificates (STCs) ST03952AT and ST04242AT.
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.
