Plain English Summary

6/10 complexity

Amendment 7 requires operators of the Boeing 747 models listed in Boeing Service Bulletin 57A2229 Rev 9 to perform inspections and any corrective work for trailing-edge flap tracks exactly as specified in the referenced FAA airworthiness directive (FAA AD 89-05-04 Rev 1 as revised). It replaces discrete Australian technical instructions with the FAA AD text; affected operators bear the inspection/repair costs, must schedule compliance per the FAA paragraphs A–N, and rely on FAA/Boeing documents for technical detail.

Amdt 7

Trailing Edge Flap Tracks 7/90

Applicability: All models referenced in Boeing SB 57A2229 Rev 9.

Requirement: Action in accordance with the requirements of FAA AD 89-05-04 Rev 1 Amendment 39-6148 as revised by Amendment 39-6484, Paragraphs A to N inclusive.

Compliance: As detailed in the Requirement Document.

Background: The previous issues of this Directive fulfilled the requirements of FAA AD 84-19-02 all Revisions. That was superseded by the initial issue of FAA AD 88-16-03 which in turn was raised to Revision 1 as a result of FAA AD T88-21-50 (AD/B747/67- subsequently cancelled).

Amendment 5 included all of the Requirements from FAA ADs 88-16-03 Rev 1 and T88-21-51. It also increased the number of fail-safe bar fastener holes to be inspected. Amendment 6 referenced Revision 8 of the Requirement document.

Amendment 7 references Revision 9 of the Requirement document and, as there are no longer discrete Australian technical requirements, calls up the technical requirements of the FAA AD in toto.
