AD/B767/85 Amdt 4 (continued)

Background: The FAA issued an AD in response to several reports of fractures of the outer cylinder aft trunnion due to stress corrosion cracking. Subsequent to the above reports, the FAA received an additional report of the collapse of the main landing gear on a Model 767-300 series aircraft. Investigation revealed that this latest fracture differed from those reported previously in that it initiated at the crossbolt hole, and additional inspections in an expanded area are now required.

Amendment 1 required inspections to detect cracking and corrosion of the aft trunnion of the outer cylinder of the main landing gear, and various follow-on actions. It also provided for termination of the inspections by repairing the outer cylinder and installing new aft trunnion bushes.

Amendment 2 clarified an inspection requirement of FAA AD 96-03-02 R1. Amendment 3 required implementation of the previously optional terminating action.

Amendment 4 is issued in response to a new FAA AD which prohibits the use of a particular corrosion inhibiting compound during accomplishment of the terminating action.

Amendment 3 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 30 January 1997. Amendment 2 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 20 June 1996.

The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 30 September 1995.

Signature of David Villiers, Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
