 For the reasons set out in the background section, the CASA delegate whose signature appears below issues the following Airworthiness Directive (AD) under subregulation 39.1 (1) of CAR 1998.

             Requirement: 1. Replace the existing potable water fill line tube with a flexible hose in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-38A0057.

             2. No person shall install a potable water fill tube, part number 417T2021-179, on an Australian registered Boeing 767-200 or -300 series aircraft.

            Note: FAA AD 2001-08-22 refers.

            This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 12 July 2001.

            Background: This Airworthiness Directive is prompted by advice that fracture of the clamshell coupling can result in a large amount of water entering the aft cargo compartment. If this occurs, the aircraft's centre of gravity could shift aft to the extent that controllability of the aircraft is adversely affected.
