Cavity Aft of Wing Centre Section 10/2003
Applicability: All Model 747 series aircraft.
Requirement: Action in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 2003-11-01 Amdt 39-13160.
Note: Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-51A2057 refers.
Compliance: As specified in the Requirement document, with a revised effective date of 2 October 2003.
This Amendment becomes effective on 2 October 2003.
Background: Debris and foreign material may block drainage of the cavity aft of the wing centre section and result in accumulated water leakage onto the lateral flight control cables and/or components and freezing; which could restrict or jam control cable movement and result in loss of controllability of the aircraft.
Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new FAA AD, which adds new repetitive tests and inspections for discrepancies of the drainage system of the canted pressure deck.
