Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This AD applies to Boeing 767s (line positions 1–542) equipped with over‑wing escape slides and requires operators to carry out the technical actions in FAA AD 95‑15‑01 (see Boeing Service Bulletin 767‑57‑0043 Revs 1–3) by 24 November 1996. It was issued because tests showed slides could be damaged when deploying over sharp wing trailing edges and large panel gaps; operators must perform inspections/modifications and bear the associated costs to mitigate that safety risk.

Compliance: Unless already accomplished in accordance with the initial issue of this Directive; before 24 November 1996.

Background: The FAA issued a Directive in response to the results of functional tests of over-wing escape slides, which revealed that some slides were damaged when they were deployed across sharp corners on the trailing edge of the wing and the large gaps between the trailing edge panels of the wing.
