Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767-200 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the outboard pitch load fittings of the wing front spar, and corrective action, if necessary. This action also provides a terminating action for the repetitive inspections, which is optional for uncracked pitch load fittings. This action is necessary to find and fix cracking of the outboard pitch load fittings of the wing front spar, which could lead to loss of the upper link load path and result in separation of the strut and engine from the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
