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

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 787 series airplanes, certificated in any category.

Compliance

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

Required actions

This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2017-15-04, with revised compliance language. For airplanes identified in Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270030-00, Issue 001, dated October 22, 2015: Within 40 months after August 25, 2017 (the effective date of AD 2017-15-04), replace the EMAs with new EMAs, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270030-00, Issue 001, dated October 22, 2015; or Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270030-00, Issue 002, dated April 7, 2017.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by wire harness chafing on the electro-mechanical actuators (EMAs) for certain spoilers due to insufficient separation with adjacent structure. The FAA is issuing this AD to address chafing and consequent wire damage that could result in a potential source of ignition in the flammable leakage zone and a consequent fire or explosion.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2017-15-04, Amendment 39-18964 (82 FR 33785, July 21, 2017) (“AD 2017-15-04”).
