The Boeing Company Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2002-01-13, AD 2002-08-07. Comply with the one in force.
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) that is applicable to all Boeing Model 767 series airplanes. This action requires operators to perform visual inspections of the outer cylinder aft trunnion on the main landing gear to determine if the fillet seal is cracked or missing. This action also requires operators to inspect for evidence of corrosion in this location. Finally, this action prescribes the procedures that operators must follow if corrosion is found. This amendment is prompted by several reports of fractures of the outer cylinder aft trunnion due to stress corrosion cracking. The actions specified in this AD are intended to ensure that corrosion is not present in this location, thereby preventing future failures due to stress corrosion cracking.
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.
