Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 757-200, 757-200CB, and 757-200PF series airplanes. This action requires repetitive detailed inspections to detect horizontal or vertical movement of the shims at the joint of the mid-bulkhead and the upper link fittings, and corrective action if necessary; or certain alternative actions that will terminate the requirement for the repetitive inspections. This action is necessary to detect and correct migration of shims at the joint of the mid-bulkhead and the upper link fittings, which could result in cracking of the strut and consequent loss of the strut and engine.
