AD/B767/178 Auto-Speedbrake Control System 10/2002

 

Applicability: Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series aeroplanes, line numbers 1 through 759 inclusive.

 

Requirement: Modify the right main landing gear and auto-speedbrake control system according to Work Packages 1 through 4 of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 767-27A0160, dated 20 December 2000.

Note 1: Boeing ASB 767-27A0160 specifies that each work package can be done independently or at the same time, in any sequence, but Work Package 4 should be done last.

Note 2: FAA AD 2002-12-04 Amdt 39-12776 refers.

 

Compliance: Before 31 July 2007.

This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 3 October 2002.

Background: This Directive requires modification of the right main landing gear and auto- speedbrake control system to provide an air/ground signal to the system. The modification provides a second air/ground signal to the auto-speedbrake control system, which is designed to prevent uncommanded deployment of the auto- speedbrake spoilers during flight. Uncommanded deployment of the auto-speedbrake spoilers could result in reduced controllability of the aeroplane.
