Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This AD requires owners/operators of affected Boeing 727s to inspect and then modify auxiliary fuel systems per Boeing service bulletins (or a CAA‑approved inspection procedure) to address a risk of fuel leaking into the baggage compartment. It applies to all 727s listed in Boeing SB 727‑28‑0110.

The modification must be completed before issuance of a Certificate of Airworthiness, so operators bear the inspection, modification and timing costs. The CAA may approve alternate inspection procedures; the AD cross‑references a related FAA AD.
