Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11426 · Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 Series Airplanes
Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 Series Airplanes
Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-32A0185, dated September 2, 1999; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time visual inspection to determine the part number and serial number of the lower drag strut of the nose landing gear (NLG); and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports of a fracture of the lower drag strut of the NLG, which was caused by a thin wall thickness condition that occurred during the manufacturing process. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent a fracture of the lower drag strut, which could result in collapse of the NLG.
