Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22933 · Windows
The Boeing Company Airplanes
This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of operators receiving No. 1 flight compartment windows that may not meet type design requirements for withstanding a bird impact. This AD requires replacing affected No. 1 flight compartment windows and prohibits the installation of affected windows. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
For airplanes identified in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB560010-00 RB, Issue 001, dated December 13, 2023: Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD, at the applicable times specified in the “Compliance” paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB560010-00 RB, Issue 001, dated December 13, 2023, do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB560010-00 RB, Issue 001, dated December 13, 2023.

Where the “Boeing Recommended Compliance Time” column in the tables under the “Compliance” paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB560010-00 RB, Issue 001, dated December 13, 2023, uses the phrase “the Issue 001 date of the Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB560010-00 RB,” this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
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.
