Plain English Summary

6/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of Boeing 767-200, -300 and -300F aircraft (line numbers 1–663, Pratt & Whitney or GE engines) to perform specific structural work: rework an aft pitch load fitting, install a diagonal brace fuse pin, and replace an outboard pitch load fitting where required by FAA AD 2004-16-12. The AD revises earlier CASA AD effective dates and aims to prevent fatigue cracking that could lead to strut and engine separation.

AD/B767/200 Primary Nacelle Strut Structure 11/2004

Applicability: Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series aircraft, line numbers 1 through 663; powered by Pratt & Whitney or General Electric engines.

Requirement: Action in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 2004-16-12 Amdt 39-13768.

Compliance: For the requirements of FAA AD 2001-02-07 (previously reflected in CASA AD/B767/134) the revised effective date of 19 April 2001 applies.

For the requirements of FAA AD 2001-06-12 (previously reflected in CASA AD/B767/137) the revised effective date of 12 July 2001 applies.

For the requirements of FAA AD 2001-08-23 (previously reflected in CASA AD/B767/135 Amdt 1) the revised effective date of 10 April 2001 applies.

This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 28 October 2004.

Background: This Directive requires, for aircraft subject to FAA AD 2001-02-07 and AD 2001-06- 12 on which certain modifications have been accomplished previously, reworking the aft pitch load fitting, and installing a new diagonal brace fuse pin. This Directive also requires, for aircraft subject to FAA AD 2001-08-23, replacing the outboard pitch load fitting of the wing front spar with a new, improved fitting.

The actions specified by this Directive are intended to prevent fatigue cracking in primary strut structure, which could result in separation of the strut and engine from the aircraft.
