Is AD 2013-25-02 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2013-25-02 requires a repetitive inspection every 500 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2013-25-02 apply to?

AD 2013-25-02 applies to The Boeing Company — models 767-200, 767-300, 767-300F, 767-400ER, 767. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2000-11-06 for certain The Boeing Company Model 767 airplanes. AD 2000-11-06 required repetitive inspections to detect discrepancies of the wiring and surrounding Teflon sleeves of the fuel tank boost pumps and override/ jettison pumps; replacement of the sleeves with new sleeves, for certain airplanes; and repair or replacement of the wiring and sleeves with new parts, as necessary. This new AD requires reducing the initial compliance time and repetitive inspection interval in AD 2000-11-06; mandates a terminating action for the repetitive inspections to eliminate wire damage; removes certain airplanes from the applicability; and requires revising the maintenance program to incorporate changes to the airworthiness limitations section. This AD was prompted by fleet information indicating that the repetitive inspection interval in AD 2000-11-06 is too long, because excessive chafing of the sleeving continues to occur much earlier than expected between scheduled inspections. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct chafing of the fuel pump wire insulation and consequent exposure of the electrical conductor, which could result in electrical arcing between the wires and conduit and consequent fire or explosion of the fuel tank.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 500 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Airplanes as identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 767-28A0053, Revision 3, dated November 11, 2011. AD requires revisions to operator maintenance documents (e.g., inspections) required by 14 CFR 91.403(c).

Whether AD 2013-25-02 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 compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

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.
