Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22868 · Wings
The Boeing Company Airplanes
This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 717-200 airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 717-200 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of cracks found in the rear spar lower cap forward leg and lower aft skin of the right wing, during investigation of a fuel leak. This AD requires repetitive inspections for any fuel leak or crack of the lower aft skins, external doublers, and rear spar lower caps of the left and right wings, and corrective actions and inspection reports if necessary. 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 table 1 or table 2 of Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-24-0482-01B, dated September 13, 2024, do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, table 1 or table 2 of Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-24-0482-01B, dated September 13, 2024.
Note 1 to paragraph (g): Additional guidance for accomplishing the actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD can be found in Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-24-0484-01B, dated September 16, 2024.
(1) Where table 1 and table 2 of Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-24-0482-01B, dated September 13, 2024, refer to the “issue date of this Alert MOM,” this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) Where table 1 and table 2 of Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-24-0482-01B, dated September 13, 2024, specify contacting Boeing for repair instructions, this AD requires repair using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this AD.
(3) Where table 1 and table 2 of Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-24-0482-01B, dated September 13, 2024, specify inspecting the “wing lower aft skins for any fuel leak,” this AD requires replacing that text with “wing lower aft skins and doublers for any fuel leak.”
If any crack or fuel leak is found during any inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD, at the applicable time specified in paragraph (i)(1) or (2) of this AD, submit a report of positive findings to The Boeing Company via the Boeing Communication System (BCS). The report must include the crack size, crack location, and fuel leak location, as applicable.
(1) If the inspection was done on or after the effective date of this AD: Submit the report within 10 days after the inspection.
(2) If the inspection was done before the effective date of this AD: Submit the report within 10 days after the effective date of this AD.
