Models named: 787-8. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 787-8 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB540004-00, Issue 002, dated December 3, 2015.

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, install new seal dams in the inboard and outboard corners of the aft pylon frame on the left and right engines, including a general visual inspection to detect damage of the outboard blade seal, and do all applicable corrective actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB540004-00, Issue 002, dated December 3, 2015. Do all applicable corrective actions before further flight, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB540004-00, Issue 002, dated December 3, 2015.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of fuel leaking onto the hot exhaust portion of the engine as a result of an unintended leak path from the leading edge through the pylon. We are issuing this AD to prevent fuel leaking from an unintended drain path from the leading edge through either the left or right pylon and onto the hot engine parts or brakes, which could lead to a major ground fire.

Affected ADs

None.
