Airworthiness Directive 2023-12-23
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-300F airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating that the installation requirements were not followed for the first observer seat in the flight deck. This AD requires installing placards in various locations of the flight deck to indicate the proper position for the first observer seat during taxi, takeoff, and landing, and revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2023-12-23 applies to
Applies to airplanes identified in Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 767-25-0589 RB, dated February 25, 2022.
Whether AD 2023-12-23 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.
