Plain English Summary

6/10 complexity

CASA requires operators of specified Australian‑registered Boeing 767s to follow FAA AD 91‑12‑03 and the cited Boeing service bulletins to inspect, modify or repair the cargo fire‑extinguishing system. The rule responds to reports of false low‑pressure indications and freezing in distribution lines that could reduce or prevent discharge of fire‑extinguishing agent. It directly affects the listed aircraft operators, who bear the compliance costs and operational impact.
