Airworthiness Directive 2004-26-06
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767-300 and 767-300F Series Airplanes Equipped With General Electric or Pratt & Whitney Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767-300 and 767-300F series airplanes equipped with General Electric or Pratt & Whitney engines. This AD requires reworking the wing-to-strut diagonal braces and the aft pitch load fittings of the wings, and reinstalling the diagonal braces with new fuse pins and associated hardware. This action is necessary to prevent undetected loss of the diagonal brace fuse pins of the wings and consequent increased loads in other wing-to-strut joints, which could result in separation of the struts and engines from the wings. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
Which aircraft AD 2004-26-06 applies to
Equipped with General Electric or Pratt & Whitney engines; as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-54A0096, Revision 2, dated December 18, 2003
Whether AD 2004-26-06 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.
