Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-400, 747-400F, 767-200, and 767-300 Series Airplanes Equipped With Pratt & Whitney Model PW4000 Series Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all Boeing Model 747-400, 747-400F, 767-200, and 767- 300 series airplanes equipped with Pratt & Whitney Model PW4000 series engines. This action requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM). This action is necessary to prevent reduced acceleration and climb performance relative to performance data in the AFM, which could result in runway overruns or impact with obstacles or terrain. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Part-conditionalFB2C, FB2B, FB2T.

Applies only to the listed airplane models when equipped with Pratt & Whitney PW4000 series engines. Requires AFM revision on all such airplanes to address potential future installation of early-production fan blades (Phase 0/1, FB2B or FB2T); performance adjustments do not apply to airplanes with current-production fan blades (Phase 3, FB2C) installed on all engines.

Whether AD 2001-01-10 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2001-01-10 complied with on your aircraft?

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
