Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9861 · 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 all Boeing Model 767 series airplanes, that requires inspections of the components of the leading edge outboard slat; replacement of the control rod end, if necessary; and various follow-on actions. This amendment is prompted by reports of skewed panels of the outboard leading edge slat due to failure of a corroded rotary actuator or the control rod. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such conditions, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane and damage to or cracking of the leading edge slats or the fixed leading edge of the wing.
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.
