Airworthiness Directive 2001-24-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes Powered by Pratt & Whitney Model PW4000 Series Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes, that requires a one-time detailed visual inspection of certain wire bundles located in the aft section of the strut forward fairing panel of both engine struts to detect chafing damage, and repair or replacement of wiring, if necessary. This amendment also requires replacement of wires repaired by splicing and damaged wires that require splicing, and replacement of the support brackets of the existing wire bundles with new brackets and clamps, which would terminate the existing requirements. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the potential for dual wire faults from grounded, separated, or shorted wires; which could result in inadvertent takeoff thrust overboost, in- flight loss of thrust, or engine shutdown.
Which aircraft AD 2001-24-01 applies to
Applies to Boeing 767 airplanes; requires inspection/repair of wire bundles in the aft section of the engine strut forward fairing panel (both struts) per Boeing SB 767-73A0049 and terminating action (bracket replacement) per Boeing SB 767-73-0051, to prevent dual wire faults leading to thrust overboost or in-flight thrust loss.
Whether AD 2001-24-01 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.
