AD 2023-02-09 Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Applicability*9
This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model DC-9-81 (MD-81), DC-9-82 (MD-82), DC-9-83 (MD-83), DC-9-87 (MD-87), and MD-88 airplanes, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: At the applicable times specified in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-55A065, Revision 2, dated October 11, 2021, do an eddy current inspection to detect any cracking in the horizontal stabilizer and do all applicable repetitive inspections and corrective actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-55A065, Revision 2, dated October 11, 2021. Do all applicable repetitive inspections and corrective actions at the times specified in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-55A065, Revision 2, dated October 11, 2021.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found in the horizontal stabilizer in the upper and lower aft skin panels at the aft inboard corner at station XH = 8.2 and in the rear spar upper caps adjacent to the aft skin panel at station XH = 10.0; and by a determination that certain compliance times and inspection intervals must be reduced. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the upper and lower aft skin panels and rear spar upper caps, which, if not corrected, could lead to the loss of overall structural integrity of the horizontal stabilizer.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2007-10-04, Amendment 39-15045 (72 FR 25960, May 8, 2007) (AD 2007-10-04).
