Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

What it does: Requires operators of specified Boeing 747 series aircraft to carry out inspections and any required repairs to the fuselage skin at stringer 5 between fuselage stations 340 and 350, by following the technical requirements of FAA AD 2007-15-07Amdt 39-15136 and the referenced Boeing Alert Service Bulletin. The directive takes effect on 27 September 2007.

Who pays and why it matters: Aircraft operators must fund and schedule the inspections/repairs to find fatigue cracks that could otherwise join and cause in‑flight depressurisation; failure to comply risks regulatory action or grounding.
