Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22381 · Electrical power
The Boeing Company Airplanes
This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 767-2C series airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 767-2C series airplanes. This AD was prompted by arcing on an electrical terminal lug in a certain electrical power panel that caused heat and smoke damage, as a result of a loose power feeder terminal lug connection. This AD requires inspection of each terminal lug on certain electrical power panels for evidence of arcing and/or loose connection and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 10 months after the effective date of this AD, do the actions specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (2) of this AD, in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, Seattle ACO Branch, FAA.
(1) Do a general visual inspection (GVI) for electrical arcing damage of electrical terminal lugs, wires, and attached components in certain power panels, and before further flight, repair any damage found.
(2) Do a detailed inspection of each terminal lug for loose lugs in power panels, and, before further flight, apply torque to each loose terminal lug.
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.
