Models named: 757-200, -200CB, -300 series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes; certificated in any category; as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-25-0298, Revision 1, dated April 12, 2011; with off-wing escape slide systems installed.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Within 60 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the door latch fittings and witness mark placards of the left and right off-wing escape slide systems, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-25-0298, Revision 1, dated April 12, 2011.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of in-flight loss of the off-wing escape slide. We are issuing this AD to prevent the in-flight loss of the off-wing escape slide, which could result in the unavailability of the escape slide during an emergency evacuation. Additionally, the departed slide could cause damage to the fuselage, wing, flaps, or stabilizer, which could degrade flight control.

Affected ADs

Certain requirements of this AD affect certain requirements of AD 99-17-20, Amendment 39-11266 (64 FR 45436, August 20, 1999).
