This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 747-100, -200, and -300 series airplanes, that requires an inspection to determine if hinge bolts and nuts are installed in the overhead stowage bins, and the installation of hinge bolts and nuts, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports that overhead stowage bins in the passenger compartment have fallen out of position due to missing hinge bolts. The actions specified by this AD are intended to ensure that hinge bolts are installed in the overhead stowage bins. Missing hinge bolts could result in the overhead stowage bins falling out of position and injuring airplane occupants.
