Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8995 · The Boeing Company Airplanes
The Boeing Company Airplanes
This AD applies to The Boeing Company 767-200 Series, 767-300 Series, 767-300F Series.
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 adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking, corrosion, and wear of various components of the main landing gear (MLG) brake assembly, and correction of discrepancies. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that components in the MLG assembly have been damaged due to the consequences of vibration in the brake assembly. The actions specified by this AD are intended to minimize the exposure of the brake assembly to the consequences of a vibratory condition that could ultimately lead to failure of components of the MLG; such failure could severely affect the braking capability of the airplane while on the ground.
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.
