AD/B747/243

Amdt 1

Midspar Fuse Pin Retention 3/2002

Applicability: Model 747 series aircraft, line numbers 1 through 1046 that have accomplished FAA Airworthiness Directives 95-10-16 (AD/B747/153), 95-13-05 (AD/B747/154), 95-13-

06, or 95-13-07; and line numbers 1047 through 1271.

Requirement: Action in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 2001-23-15 Amdt 39-12514.

Compliance: As specified in the Requirement document with a revised effective date of 21 March 2002.

This amendment becomes effective on 21 March 2002.

Background: The FAA received several reports of loose primary retention nuts of the midspar fuse pins of the inboard and outboard engine struts of certain Model 747 series aircraft.

Loss of primary retention capability could result in loss of secondary retention capability of the fuse pins, migration of the fuse pins, and consequent loss of the strut and engine from the aircraft.

Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new FAA AD which retains the current inspection requirements but mandates accomplishment of the previously optional terminating modification.

The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 17 May 2001.

Signature of David Villiers, Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
