Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9684 · 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 a visual inspection to verify proper clearance between the number 18 fuel nozzle secondary transfer fuel tube and the pylon drain tube of the engine, and various follow-on actions. This amendment also requires the installation of clamps and associated fasteners between the environmental control system (ECS) controller tube and the pylon drain tube. This amendment is prompted by reports of chafing of the number 18 fuel nozzle secondary transfer fuel tube of the engine due to an improperly installed or loose pylon drain tube. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such chafing, which could lead to subsequent fuel leakage and a possible engine fire.
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.
