Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10448 · Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes
Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes
Model 767 series airplanes, line numbers 1 through 683 inclusive, equipped with forward galley air chillers; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes. This action requires a detailed visual inspection(s) for damage or chafing of certain electrical wire bundles and for clearance between the wire bundles and adjacent forward galley air chiller; and follow-on corrective actions. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that damaged wires caused the tripping of electrical circuit breakers and the display of caution messages by the engine indication and crew alerting system. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent failure of essential electrical systems and a potential fire hazard for passengers and crewmembers, due to damage or chafing of the wire bundles that resulted in arcing between exposed conductors and burning of the adjacent electrical bundles.
