The directive addresses a safety problem where **vibration in the brake assembly was causing damage to the main landing gear (MLG)**.\n\n**Key changes in this amendment:**\n- Adds a way to **permanently fix** the problem: if operators complete Boeing Service Bulletin 767-32-0183 (Revision 1 or later), they can stop doing the repeated inspections required by the original directive.\n- References another service bulletin (767-32-0128) for guidance.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Airlines and operators flying Boeing 767s with carbon brakes in Australia\n- Maintenance organisations servicing these aircraft\n\n**Why it matters:**\nVibration damage to landing gear components can lead to brake failure or structural problems — serious safety risks during takeoff and landing.
