Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22910 · Landing gear
The Boeing Company Airplanes
(1) This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series airplanes, certificated in any category.
(2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01920SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01920SE is installed, a “change in product” alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, and -300F airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of a main landing gear (MLG) collapse event following maintenance where a grinder was operating outside of its input parameters, resulting in possible heat damage to the outer cylinder of the MLG. This AD requires replacing affected outer cylinders. 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 767-32A0253 RB, dated February 6, 2024, do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 767-32A0253 RB, dated February 6, 2024.
Note 1 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing the actions required by this AD can be found in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-32A0253, dated February 6, 2024, which is referred to in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 767-32A0253 RB, dated February 6, 2024.
Where the Boeing Recommended Compliance Time column of the table in the “Compliance” paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 767-32A0253 RB, dated February 6, 2024, uses the phrase “the Original Issue date of Requirements Bulletin 767-32A0253 RB,” this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
