Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of Boeing 747 series aeroplanes (as listed in Boeing ASB 747‑29A2102) to identify any discrepant hydraulic supply (fire) shutoff valves in engine struts, test them, and replace valves that fail the test per Boeing ASB 747‑29A2102.

Aircraft owners/operators must pay for inspections, tests and any replacements; compliance requires adherence to test methods specified in Boeing's service bulletin (ASB 747-29A2102). If a discrepant P/N S270T010-3 is fitted, repeated testing is required; replacing it with listed serviceable part numbers terminates the repeat tests.

AD/B747/301 Discrepant Hydraulic Valves

AD/B747/301 Discrepant Hydraulic Valves 4/2004

Applicability: Model 747 series aeroplanes, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 747- 29A2102, dated June 29, 2000.

Requirement: 1. Check maintenance records or perform a general visual inspection of each engine strut to determine whether any discrepant valve is installed as a hydraulic supply (fire) shutoff valve for the engine-driven pump. A discrepant valve is a Circle Seal valve part number (P/N) S270T010-3 or a valve that cannot be readily identified. Identify the part in accordance with Boeing ASB 747- 29A2102. If no discrepant valve is installed, no further action is required.

2. For any discrepant valve found during the part identification required by Requirement 1 of this Directive: Carry out a hydraulic supply (fire) shutoff valve test, in accordance with paragraph 3.J. of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing ASB 747-29A2102.

3. If the valve passes the test, as detailed in Requirement 2 of this Directive, repeat the test in accordance with paragraph 3.J. of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing ASB 747-29A2102.

4. If the valve does not pass the test, as detailed in Requirement 2 of this Directive, replace the valve with a serviceable valve, P/N S270T010-3, 10-3200- 1, 10- 3200-2, or a valve identified in paragraph 3.I. of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing ASB 747-29A2102; and do a hydraulic supply (fire) shutoff valve test; in accordance with paragraph 3.J. of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing ASB 747-29A2102.

Replacement with a serviceable valve, P/N 10-3200-1, 10-3200-2, or a valve identified in paragraph 3.I. of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing ASB 747-29A2102, terminates the repetitive tests required by Requirement 3 of this Directive.

If a P/N S270T010-3 valve is installed as a replacement, repeated testing must be performed in accordance with Requirement 3 of this Directive.
