Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767-300 Series Airplanes Equipped With Rolls Royce RB211-524H Series Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767-300 series airplanes equipped with Rolls Royce RB211-524H series engines. This action requires re- routing a certain wire bundle containing control wiring for the thrust reverser actuation system. This action is necessary to ensure that control wiring for the thrust reverser actuation system is adequately separated. Inadequately separated wiring could allow a single failure to result in uncommanded deployment of a thrust reverser and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Requires re-routing wire bundle W518 (right wing leading edge, outboard pressure seal to wing/strut disconnect) and a functional test, per Boeing SB 767-78-0085.

Whether AD 2002-14-02 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 2002-14-02 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.
