Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This AD requires all Boeing 767 operators to inspect the outboard leading‑edge slat system per FAA AD 96‑25‑18, with an initial check by 10,500 total hours or within 500 hours after 27 March 1997 and recurring thereafter. It aims to detect corrosion or failures that can cause skewed slat panels, shifting inspection, repair costs and maintenance scheduling burdens onto operators.

This airworthiness directive becomes effective on 27 March 1997.

Background: The FAA received reports of skewed panels of an outboard leading edge slat due to the failure of a corroded rotary actuator or the control rod. An undetected skewed slat panel could lead to control difficulty and result in slat structure damage.
