Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9687 · 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 supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes, that currently requires an inspection of the control rods of the outboard leading edge slat, and follow-on actions (including repetitive ultrasonic inspections), if necessary. For certain airplanes, that AD also requires replacement of the control rod ends and attach bolts. It also provides for an optional terminating action for follow-on repetitive inspections. That AD was prompted by reports of cracks and worn attach bolts of the control rods of the leading edge outboards slats of the wings due to the high breakout torque in the joint of the control rod end. This amendment requires the installation of the previously optional terminating action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent reduced controllability of the airplane and damage in the slat structure or fixed leading edge of the wing, as a result of cracks and worn attach bolts.
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.
