Airworthiness Directive 2022-13-04
recurringAirworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-24- 10, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -200PF, and -300 series airplanes. AD 2017-24-10 required repetitive inspections for any cracking of a certain fuselage frame inner chord; identification of the material of a certain fuselage frame inner chord for certain airplanes; and applicable corrective actions. This AD was prompted by reports of cracking found at a certain fuselage frame inner chord. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2017-24-10, adds airplanes, and requires new inspection types in certain areas, an expanded inspection area, additional inspections, and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2022-13-04 applies to
Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01518SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD; airplanes with STC ST01518SE installed qualify for a change-in-product alternative method of compliance.
Whether AD 2022-13-04 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.
