Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

Mandates operators of Boeing 767-200/-300 aircraft without Production Revision Record B-11777 to install a power transfer unit (PTU) per Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-29A0039 (or Revision 1) by 9 April 1992. Boeing advised that loss of both left and centre hydraulic systems can leave pitch control marginal; the PTU restores stabiliser pitch control and increases landing flare capacity. Owners/operators must fund and schedule the modification under the Civil Aviation Safety Authority directive.

Boeing 767 Series Aeroplanes

AD/B767/47 Hydraulic Power Transfer Unit System 12/90

Applicability: All model B767-200 and B767-300 series aeroplanes on which Production Revision Record (PRR) B-11777 has not been incorporated.

Requirement: 1. Aeroplanes identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-29A0039, dated 11 May 1989, shall be modified in accordance with this Service Bulletin, and

All other aeroplanes, in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767- 29A0039, Revision 1, dated 2 November 1989.

Note: FAA AD 90-18-04 Amendment 39-6714 also refers.

Compliance: Prior to 9 April 1992.

Background: Boeing has advised, analysis indicates that if both left and centre hydraulic systems of applicable aircraft become inoperative, and with adverse centre-of-gravity and gross weight combination, pitch control during approach and landing is marginal. The addition of the power transfer unit (PTU) system will provide stabiliser pitch control and additional landing flare capacity in the event of such a situation.
