Airworthiness Directive 01-14000
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737, 757, and 767 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 737, 757, and 767 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive operational checks of certain motor- operated hydraulic shutoff valves to detect malfunctioning; replacement with new valves, if necessary; and eventual replacement of certain existing valves with new valves, which terminates the repetitive inspections. This amendment is prompted by reports that various intermittent limit-switch problems have caused valve failures. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the motor-operated hydraulic shutoff valves, which could result in leakage of hydraulic fluid to the engine fire zone, reduced ability to retract the landing gear, loss of backup electrical power or other combinations of failures; and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 01-14000 applies to
Whether AD 01-14000 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:
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.
