Applicability:

Boeing 767 aircraft.

Requirement:

1. Determine the applicability of the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directives (ADs) listed in Table 1.

2. If it is determined that an FAA AD listed in Table 1 is applicable and has not been previously accomplished, perform the actions required by that AD or later FAA-approved revision.

Service Bulletins approved by the FAA as Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC) to the FAA ADs listed in the Table 1 are considered acceptable for compliance with the equivalent requirements of this Directive.

CASA has determined that these ADs may be applicable to some Australian aircraft. This Directive is issued to ensure compliance with all State of Design ADs.CASA appreciates that, due to date of aircraft manufacture or aircraft configuration and modification status, some of the ADs listed in Table 1 will not be applicable to any aircraft presently registered in Australia.This Amendment removes two FAA ADs from the Requirements section listed in Table 1 whose actions are covered or superseded by other Airworthiness Directives.The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on20 August 2010. |\n\n![](image.001.png)\n\nDavid Villiers \nDelegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority\n\n3 September 2010","sortOrder":0},{"sectionNumber":"AD/B767/256 Amdt 1","sectionType":"part","heading":"AD/B767/256 Amdt 1","content":"## AD/B767/256 Amdt 1","sortOrder":1},{"sectionNumber":"State of Design Airworthiness Directives","sectionType":"part","heading":"State of Design Airworthiness Directives","content":"## State of Design Airworthiness Directives","sortOrder":2},{"sectionNumber":"18/2010","sectionType":"part","heading":"18/2010","content":"## 18/2010","sortOrder":3}],"analysis":{"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":4,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"Amendment 1 narrows the directive's obligations by removing two FAA ADs from Table 1 because their actions are covered or superseded by other ADs; the amendment expressly relieves operators of those specific requirements while retaining the original compliance dates (see 'Background' and 'Note 2')."},"complexity_factors":["Cross-reference to multiple external FAA ADs in Table 1 requires operators to retrieve and interpret foreign directives (see 'Requirement' and 'Table 1').","Applicability must be determined on a per-aircraft basis because some ADs may not apply depending on manufacture date, configuration or modification status (see 'Background').","Timing rules differ by aircraft status: actions due before issue of a certificate of airworthiness, or before further flight after 19 October 2010 if already certificated (see 'Compliance').","Acceptance of FAA-approved service bulletins as AMOCs removes the need for separate CASA AMOC approvals but requires operators to verify FAA approval status (see 'Service Bulletins ...
