Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 767 Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD requires a detailed inspection of the entryway door movable ceiling panel for pin migration at either end of the hinge assembly and damage to the pin; a detailed inspection for correct crimp at both ends and damage to hinge stock; a detailed inspection of the ceiling area for any visible cosmetic and/or tie-rod chafing that could be caused by a migrated hinge pin; a detailed inspection for wire damage and/or breakage; and other specified and corrective actions if necessary. This AD results from reports of fault messages caused by improperly crimped hinge pins coming into contact with wires and causing damage. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct improperly crimped hinge pins, which could damage tie rods and wire bundles, causing shorts in many systems, including the spar fuel shut-off valve, oxygen mask deployment, and burned wires, which could be an ignition source in a hidden area of the airplane.

Which aircraft AD 2010-26-08 applies to

Models767-200, 767-300, 767-300F, 767-400ER, 767

Applies to airplanes identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 767-25-0477, dated August 27, 2009.

Whether AD 2010-26-08 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 2010-26-08 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.
