Models named: 787-8, 787-9, 787-10. 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, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes, certificated in any category, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines.

Compliance

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

Required actions

For airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of airworthiness issued on or before the effective date of this AD: Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this AD; at the applicable times specified in the “Compliance” paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB780043-00 RB, Issue 001, dated January 15, 2021, do all applicable actions for Group 1, Configuration 1 airplanes as identified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB780043-00 RB, Issue 001, dated January 15, 2021. Note 1 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing the actions required by this AD can be found in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB780043-00, Issue 001, dated January 15, 2021, which is referred to in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-SB780043-00 RB, Issue 001, dated January 15, 2021.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of damage to the thrust reverser (TR) translating sleeve secondary sliders due to contact between the slider and the slider track liner. This damage could reduce the fatigue life of the slider below its full design life for the TRs installed on certain engines. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this damage, which could result in failure of the TR translating sleeve secondary slider and possible detachment of the outer cowl, which could strike the fuselage, causing damage to the airplane, and could result in reduced control or performance of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
