Models named: 777-200, 777-200LR, 777-300ER, 777F series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 777-200, 777-200LR, 777-300ER, and 777F series airplanes, certificated in any category, with General Electric Company (GE) GE90-76B, GE90-85B, GE90-90B, GE90-94B, GE90-110B1, and GE90-115B model turbofan engines installed.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this AD: Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, or within 1 year after the date of issuance of the original airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of airworthiness, whichever comes later, do detailed inspections and measure the bond resistance of the bonding jumpers on the fuel feed tube installed immediately forward of the wing front spar at each of the two engine locations, and do all applicable corrective actions, in accordance with the Part 2 of the Work Instructions of Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-24-0463-01B, dated September 4, 2024. All applicable corrective actions must be done before further flight. Repeat the inspections and bonding resistance measurement thereafter at intervals not to exceed 1 year.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of potential latent failures of the lightning protection features for the engine fuel feed system. The FAA is issuing this AD to address such latent failures. A lightning strike to an engine nacelle combined with latent failures of the lightning protection features for the engine fuel feed system, if not addressed, could result in the potential for ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
