Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-09- 01, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes. AD 2016-09-01 required repetitive inspections for cracking of the left- and right-side forward outer chords of the pivot bulkhead, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2016-09-01 also provided a modification of the pivot bulkhead, which terminated the repetitive inspections. This AD was prompted by reports of fatigue cracking of the forward outer chord of the station (STA) 2370 pivot bulkhead, and the determination that the compliance times need to be reduced, post-modification inspections must be done, and the inspections areas need to be expanded due to additional cracking found prior to the inspection times required by AD 2016-09-01. This AD retains certain requirements of AD 2016-09-01. This AD also requires doing repetitive detailed and high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of the longeron fitting, and, for post- repair and post-modification inspections, the bulkhead assembly structure, for any cracking, and doing all applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

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

Whether AD 2022-06-07 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.
Is AD 2022-06-07 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.
