Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-23132 · Navigation
The Boeing Company Airplanes
This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 767-300 series airplanes, certificated in any category, that have been modified to a special freighter configuration, in accordance with FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST02040SE, and which are listed in paragraph I.A., “Effectivity,” of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., Service Bulletin 368-34-106, dated August 2024.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-300 series airplanes modified by a certain supplemental type certificate (STC). This AD was prompted by a discovery that certain pitot-static tubing of the first officer's pitot-static system was installed incorrectly in the main and mid equipment center during the airplane conversion from passenger to freighter. This AD requires a visual inspection of certain pitot-static rigid tubes and flexible hoses to determine whether low points exist, and if necessary, related investigative and corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 36 months after the effective date of this AD, do a visual inspection of the pitot-static rigid tubes, part number (P/N) 233T9110-437 and P/N 233T9110-314, and the flexible hoses, P/N BACH30BC06-0097 and P/N BACH30BC05-0111, at the locations specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., Service Bulletin 368-34-106, dated August 2024, to determine whether low points exist, and do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., Service Bulletin 368-34-106, dated August 2024.
