Boeing Model 727 Series Airplanes
Model 727 series airplanes; line numbers 124, 126, 130, 146, 221, 287, 331, 339, 345, 355, 416, 439, 516, 532, 540, 608, 631, 650, 717, 777, 788, 791, 837, and 1087; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 727 series airplanes, that requires modification of the pressure web of the nose landing gear wheel well. This amendment is prompted by reports of fatigue cracks in the pressure web of the nose landing gear wheel well. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent cracking of the pressure web of the nose landing gear wheel well, which could result in loss of airplane pressurization.
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.
