Airworthiness Directive 95-10-13
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 757 Series Airplanes Equipped With Rolls Royce Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 757 series airplanes, that currently requires inspections to detect fatigue-related cracking or breakage of the hydraulic tubing support brackets located on the upper spar web in the engine struts; further inspection to detect related damage of the upper spar web, the fuel lines, and the hydraulic lines, as necessary; and repair or replacement of cracked or damaged parts. That AD was prompted by reports of fatigue-related cracks in the hydraulic tubing support brackets located on the upper spar web in the engine struts. The actions specified by that AD are intended to prevent such fatigue-related cracking, which could result in fuel or hydraulic fluid leakage into the interior of the engine strut and cause a fire. This amendment requires installation of a previously optional terminating action.
Which aircraft AD 95-10-13 applies to
Applies to Boeing 757 airplanes (Group 1 and Group 2, per prior AD 94-04-04) to prevent fuel or hydraulic fluid leakage into the engine strut interior. Requires inspecting the forward hydraulic-tubing support bracket on the upper spar web of each engine strut to determine whether it is 17-7PH steel per Boeing Alert SB 757-54A0030 Rev 1; brackets not of 17-7PH steel are further inspected for fatigue cracking. Reference bracket P/Ns 312N5817-13/-19/-23/-25 denote the compliant 17-7PH configuration.
Whether AD 95-10-13 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.
