Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8989 · The Boeing Company Airplanes
The Boeing Company Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2004-07-22. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to The Boeing Company 747 Series (all).
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 747 series airplanes, that currently requires that the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program include inspections which will give no less than the required damage tolerance rating (DTR) for each Structural Significant Item (SSI). This amendment requires the inclusion of additional airplanes to the candidate fleet. This amendment is prompted by a recommendation from the Airworthiness Assurance Working Group, Model 747 Structures Task Group. The actions specified by this AD are intended to ensure the continued structural integrity of the total Boeing Model 747 fleet.
