Airworthiness Directive 2002-19-11
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 Series Airplanes Powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D Series Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D series engines, that requires replacement of the existing deactivation pin, aft cascade pin bushing, and pin insert on each thrust reverser half, with new, improved components. This action is necessary to prevent failure of the thrust reverser deactivation pins, which could result in deployment of the thrust reverser in flight and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
Which aircraft AD 2002-19-11 applies to
AD requires replacing the thrust reverser deactivation pin, pin bushing (aft cascade mounting ring), and pin insert on each thrust reverser half within 24 months of effective date, per Boeing ASB 767-78A0089 Rev 1 (2002-05-30); pins P/N 315T1604-2 or -5 must be replaced with new longer pin P/N 315T1604-6. Credit given for replacements done per original SB dated 2001-07-19.
Whether AD 2002-19-11 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.
