Applicability*9

This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes, certificated in any category.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this AD: At the applicable times specified in the “Compliance” paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-57A2370 RB, dated March 2, 2022, do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-57A2370 RB, dated March 2, 2022. Note 1 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing the actions required by this AD can be found in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-57A2370, dated March 2, 2022, which is referred to in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-57A2370 RB, dated March 2, 2022.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports that high temperature composite trim air diffuser ducts (TADD) showed composite degradation and signs of hot air leakage. The FAA is issuing this AD to address sustained hot air leakage from damaged TADDs that could result in undetected damage to adjacent airframe structure. This condition, if not addressed, could lead to heat damage to the wing center section and adjacent structure and adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane, resulting in the inability of the structure to carry limit load and the possible loss of continued safe flight and landing.

Affected ADs

None.
