Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 777 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 777 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the clevis ends on the tie rods for the center stowage bin supports with improved clevis ends. This amendment is prompted by a report that, under ultimate load conditions, the aluminum clevis ends on the tie rods for the center stowage bin supports can break. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent broken tie rods, which could result in the center stowage bins dropping onto the passenger seats below, causing possible injury to the occupants.
