Airworthiness Directive 2012-11-11
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, and -400ER series airplanes. That AD currently requires replacing the separation link assembly on the applicable entry and service doors with an improved separation link assembly, and doing related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD adds an airplane to the applicability and removes certain other airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that an additional airplane is subject to the unsafe condition. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of an entry or service door to open fully in the event of an emergency evacuation, which could impede exit from the airplane. This condition could result in injury to passengers or crewmembers.
Which aircraft AD 2012-11-11 applies to
Applies to airplanes operating in a passenger or passenger/cargo configuration, as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 767-25-0428, Revision 3, dated October 21, 2010; requirements become applicable when an all-cargo airplane is converted to passenger/passenger-cargo configuration.
Whether AD 2012-11-11 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.
