Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9961 · Boeing Model 757-200 Series Airplanes
Boeing Model 757-200 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2001-02-09. Comply with the one in force.
Model 757-200 series airplanes having line numbers 1 through 736 inclusive, powered by Rolls Royce engines, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 757-200 series airplanes. This action requires inspections to detect cracking on the free edge of the tang, if necessary, and of the fastener holes in the lower spar chord; and various follow-on actions. This action also provides for optional terminating action for the requirements of this AD. This amendment is prompted by a report of fatigue cracking in the lower spar chord of two Model 757 series airplanes. The actions specified in this AD are intended to detect and correct such fatigue cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the engine strut.
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.
