This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 747 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the existing pressure relief valve in the potable water system with a non-adjustable, single setting valve. This amendment is prompted by reports of potable water tanks that ruptured and resulted in damage to the passenger compartment. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent injury to the crew and passengers and damage to the passenger compartment due to an explosive failure of the potable water tank.
