Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11487 · The Boeing Company Airplanes
The Boeing Company Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2000-05-09. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to The Boeing Company 757-200 Series, 757-200CB Series, 757-200PF 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 certain Boeing Model 757-200, -200PF, and -200CB series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections of the engine thrust control cable system to detect discrepancies of the wire rope, fittings, and pulleys; and replacement, if necessary. This amendment also requires a one-time inspection to determine the part number of certain pulleys and replacement of existing pulleys with new pulleys, if necessary; and modification of the engine thrust control cable installation. This amendment is prompted by reports of failure of certain engine thrust control cables. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of certain engine thrust control cables, which could result in a severe asymmetric thrust condition during landing, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
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.
