Applicability*9

This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 727, 727C, 727-100, 727 -100C, 727-200, and 727-200F series airplanes, certificated in any category, identified as Group III and Group IV in Boeing Service Bulletin 55-46, dated April 8, 1970.

Compliance

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

Required actions

For airplanes identified as Group III in Boeing Service Bulletin 55-46, dated April 8, 1970: At the later of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD, do an eddy-current inspection for cracks in the web, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 55-46, dated April 8, 1970. (1) Before the accumulation of 60,000 total flight cycles. (2) Within 24 months or 2,500 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first.

Unsafe condition

This AD is intended to complete certain mandated programs intended to support the airplane reaching its limit of validity of the engineering data that support the established structural maintenance program. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracking at the upper fastener holes in the riveted web in the horizontal stabilizer center section rear spar, which could lead to horizontal stabilizer separation and loss of control of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
