 COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

             7.    If any damage of the wire bundles is detected during the Requirement 5 inspection, repair the wires, rewrap the wire bundles with new varglas layer, and repair and wrap the wire expando sleeve in accordance with ASB 767-32A0163 or SB 767- 32A0163 Revision 1.

            Note 2: Service Bulletin 767-32A0163, Revision 1, dated 1 October 1998, specifies the preferred procedures for separating the wire bundles into two groups for wrapping, which is an easier method for accomplishing those actions.

            Note: FAA AD 2000-03-21 Amdt 39-11581 refers.

 Compliance:   For Requirement 1 - Within 90 days after the effective date of this Directive.

            For Requirement 2 - Before further flight. For Requirement 3 - Before further flight. For Requirement 4 - Before further flight. For Requirement 5 - Before further flight. For Requirement 6 - Before further flight. For Requirement 7 - Before further flight.
            This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 18 May 2000.

            Background:  The United States Federal Aviation Administration has been advised of reports that the landing gear failed to extend a Boeing 767 aeroplane, and that the landing gear control cable was severed on a second in-service aeroplane. These incidents were determined to be caused by interference between the movement of the landing gear control lever and the adjacent wire bundles.

            This Directive is intended to prevent interference and/or chafing and electrical arcing between the landing gear control lever, the landing gear control cable and wire bundles adjacent to the landing gear control lever module. Interference could result in the inability to extend the landing gear prior to landing.
