Models named: 767-300 series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
Model 767-300 series airplanes modified by supplemental type certificate (STC) SA5765NM or SA5978NM, certificated in any category. Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been otherwise modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.
Compliance
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent the inability of flight crew to remove power from the in-flight entertainment (IFE) system when necessary; which, during a non-normal or emergency situation, could result in inability to control smoke or fumes in the airplane flight deck or cabin; accomplish the following: Removal or Modification of IFE System (a) Within 18 months after the effective date of this AD, do the actions in either paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this AD. (1) Remove the IFE system installed by STC SA5765NM or STC SA5978NM by a method approved by the Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA. For a removal method to be approved by the Manager, Seattle ACO, as required by this paragraph, the Manager's approval letter must specifically reference this AD. (2) Modify the IFE system installed by STC SA5765NM or STC SA5978NM to provide the flight crew or cabin crew with a means of removing electrical power from the IFE system equipment and wiring during a non-normal or emergency situation involving smoke or fire on the flight deck or in the passenger cabin. Do this modification by a method approved by the Manager, Seattle ACO. For a modification to be approved by the Manager, Seattle ACO, as required by this paragraph, the Manager's approval letter must specifically reference this AD. Note 2: Depending on the method of modification, as part of the requirements of paragraph (a)(2) of this AD, it may be necessary to revise the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual and cabin crew procedures to provide the airplane crew with information regarding the use of the power switch or other controls installed during the modification. Such revision to the AFM and cabin crew procedures, if necessary, is considered part of the modification and must be submitted for approval by the Manager, Seattle ACO, along with the method of modification. Spares (b) As of the effective date of this AD, no person shall install an IFE system in accordance with STC SA5765NM or SA5978NM on any airplane, unless the IFE system is modified per paragraph (a)(2) of this AD. Alternative Methods of Compliance (c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Seattle ACO. 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 3: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Seattle ACO. Special Flight Permits (d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished. Effective Date (e) This amendment becomes effective on September 20, 2001. Issued in Renton, Washington, on August 9, 2001. Vi L. Lipski, Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service. [FR Doc. 01-20584 Filed 8-15-01; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-13-U
