Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This rule requires Australian operators of Boeing 737s to run a structured corrosion-prevention and management program based on FAA AD 90-25-01, ensuring inspections, classification of findings, and escalation of serious defects. It affects all 737 series unless an operator already follows an approved alternative maintenance system.

For certain 737-300/-400/-500 models, approved Boeing maintenance planning documents may be used instead. The aim is to detect and report structural corrosion early to protect airframe integrity.

Amdt 2

Corrosion Prevention and Control Program 1/94

Applicability: All Model 737 series aircraft; unless the system of maintenance includes an alternative method of compliance approved by the Authority.

Requirement: Action in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 90-25-01 Amdt 39- 6789.

Corrosion classified as level 1 need not be reported. Level 2 corrosion may be consolidated with a sixty day report of corrective action, and submitted to the Authority District (Airport) Office under cover of a single MDR. Level 3 corrosion shall be reported by MDR.

Note 1: Boeing document No. D6-38528 Rev C is associated with FAA AD 90-25-01.

Note 2: Boeing 737-300/400/500 Maintenance Planning Data Document No D6- 38278 Section 10 is an approved alternative method of compliance.

Note 3: References made in the FAA AD text to the following: Administrator,

FAA,

FAA Principal Inspector (PI), or

Manager Seattle Certification Office (ACO),

shall be read as Civil Aviation Authority District (Airport) Office.

Compliance: As specified in the Requirement Document.

This Amendment is effective from 8 December 1993.

Background: The Country of Origin Airworthiness Authority requires implementation of a corrosion prevention and control program to prevent the degradation of the structural capabilities of the affected aircraft.

Amendment 1 was raised to specify the reporting requirements when corrosion is found as a result of the CPCP.

Amendment 2 is issued to introduce a method of compliance other than the Country of Origin AD, to address current “in production” aircraft.
