AD 2012-11-03 Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Models named: 777-200, -200LR, -300, -300ER, 777F series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, -300ER, and 777F series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0090, dated August 24, 2011.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 1,125 days after the effective date of this AD, perform a detailed inspection of the fuse pin cross bolts and fuse pins of the left and right MLG forward trunnion lower housing to verify that the cross bolts are installed correctly and that there are no missing fuse pins, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0090, dated August 24, 2011. If any cross bolt of the MLG forward trunnion lower housing is not installed correctly, or if any fuse pin of the MLG forward trunnion lower housing is missing: Before further flight, replace all fuse pins in the MLG forward trunnion upper and lower housing on the side, or sides, of the airplane where the missing or incorrectly installed fuse pin/pins were discovered, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0090, dated August 24, 2011, except step 1 in Part 2 of paragraph 3.B of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0090, dated August 24, 2011, is not considered regulatory for the purposes of this AD.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by four reports of retaining cross bolt hardware not fully engaged into the fuse pins of the forward trunnion lower housing of the main landing gear (MLG), which could result in an incorrect MLG emergency landing break-away sequence. We are issuing this AD to prevent an incorrect emergency landing MLG break-away sequence, which could result in puncturing of the wing box and consequent fuel leaks and an airplane fire. Failure of the fuse pins could also result in a possible landing gear collapse causing a runway excursion during take-off or landing.
Affected ADs
None.
