Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 60 months after the effective date of this AD, replace the short flexshaft on each thrust reverser half of each engine with a new short flexshaft, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-78A2185, dated October 26, 2010; or Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-78A0100, dated October 26, 2010; as applicable; or Middle River Aircraft Systems CF6-80C2B Service Bulletin 78-1168, Revision 2, dated April 19, 2011. Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD: The torque value for the short flexshaft installation specified in paragraph (g) of this AD is lower than the torque value described for the part specified in AD 2000-09-04, Amendment 39-11712 (65 FR 25833, May 4, 2000).
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of failure of the electro-mechanical brake flexshaft (short flexshaft) of the thrust reverser actuation system (TRAS). We are issuing this AD to prevent an uncommanded in-flight thrust reverser deployment and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

This AD affects AD 2003-16-16, Amendment 39-13269 (68 FR 51439, August 27, 2003); AD 2000-15-04, Amendment 39-11833 (65 FR 47252, August 2, 2000); and AD 2000-09-04, Amendment 39-11712 (65 FR 25833, May 4, 2000).

- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
