Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of specified Boeing 727 line-numbered aircraft to carry out inspections and, where mandated by FAA AD 2000-14-07, modifications to the rear wing centre spar web between right and left BBL 40 to address cracking that can cause fuel leakage. Aircraft owners/operators must pay for and perform the inspections and any terminating modification; the CASA delegate enforces the AD and sets the compliance timing (effective 2 Nov 2000). The amendment makes a previously optional terminating action mandatory.

Requirement: Inspect in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 2000-14-07 Amdt 39-11816.

Background: The FAA received reports indicating that fuel leakage of the wing centre section had occurred on several Model 727 aircraft due to cracking of the rear spar web of the wing centre section. The cracking initiates on the forward side of the spar and propagates through the web at the upper machined land radius between right and left Body Buttock Line 40.

Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new FAA AD which requires accomplishment of the previously optional terminating action.

The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 26 March 1998.
