Models named: 767-200, -300 series, 767-300F freighter. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes having line numbers 1 through 669 inclusive, certificated in any category. Note 1: Boeing Model 767-300F freighter airplanes are not affected by this AD. Note 2: This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with these inspections is required by 14 CFR part 91.403(c). For airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR part 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD. The request should include a description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure the continued damage tolerance of the affected structure. The FAA has provided guidance for this determination in Advisory Circular (AC) 25-1529.

To ensure continued structural integrity of these airplanes, accomplish the following: Revise Section 9 of the Boeing 767 Maintenance Planning Data (MPD) (a) Within 3 years after the effective date of this AD, revise Section 9 of the Boeing 767 Maintenance Planning Data (MPD) Document entitled “Airworthiness Limitations and Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR's)” to incorporate Subsection B of Boeing Document D622T001-9, Revision “June 1997.” Note 3: The referenced Subsection B contains a requirement that cracks found during the specified inspections be reported to the Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA.

Note 4: For the purposes of this AD, the terms Principal Structural Elements (PSE's) as used in this AD, and Structural Significant Items (SSI's) as used in Section 9 of Model 767 MPD Document, are considered to be interchangeable.

Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Seattle ACO. Note 5: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Seattle ACO.
