Airworthiness Directive 2026-05-07
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 767-200, -300, -300F, and -400ER series airplanes. This AD was prompted by discovery of a crack at one of the forward lower fastener holes following replacement of a cracked underwing longeron (UWL) fitting. This AD requires performing an open hole high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection for cracks of the fastener holes common to the UWL fitting, upper drag splice angle, and lower drag splice angle, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2026-05-07 applies to
Applies to airplanes as identified in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 767-57A0148 RB, dated October 10, 2024.
Whether AD 2026-05-07 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:
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.
