Applicability*9

This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 747-400 series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 747-24A2360, Revision 2, dated October 2, 2013.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Within 18 months after the effective date of this AD: Do a detailed inspection for damage (e.g., surface finish integrity, excessive wear or possible heat damage) of the APU power feeder cables within each wire bundle on the left and right sides of the bulkhead, and do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-24A2360, Revision 2, dated October 2, 2013; except as required by paragraph (h) of this AD. If no damage is found during this inspection, before further flight, replace the clamp(s) and install grommets, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-24A2360, Revision 2, dated October 2, 2013. Do all applicable related investigative and correction actions before further flight. Where Boeing Service Bulletin 747-24A2360, Revision 2, dated October 2, 2013, specifies installation of a clamp having part number (P/N) TA025097L16, a clamp having P/N TA025097L() may be installed instead. Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD: The parenthesis “()” designates different size clamps, to accommodate possible wire bundle diameter size differences.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of auxiliary power unit (APU) faults due to power feeder cable chafing. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct chafing of the APU power feeder cables within a flammable fluid leakage zone, which, with arcing, could result in fire and structural damage.

Affected ADs

None.
