The AD requires that the action set out in the requirement section (being action that the delegate considers necessary to correct the unsafe condition) be taken in relation to the aircraft or aeronautical product mentioned in the applicability section: (a) in the circumstances mentioned in the requirement section; and (b) in accordance with the instructions set out in the requirement section; and (c) at the time mentioned in the compliance section.

 AD/B747/216
 Amdt 1

 Video Monitor Supports 1/2005

            Applicability: Model 747-400 and 400D series aircraft, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-25A3142 Revision 3, dated 14 August 2003.

            Requirement: Action in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 2004-22-15 Amdt 39-13843.

            Note: Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-25A3142 Revision 3, or later FAA approved revision, refers.

            Compliance: As specified in the Requirement document, with a revised effective date of 20 January 2005.

            This Amendment becomes effective on 20 January 2005.

            Background:  The FAA received reports of the video monitor ceiling panels falling into the cabin due to failure of certain latch assemblies during turbulence. This Directive requires installation of strap assemblies on the ceiling panels and rails that support the video monitors.

            Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new FAA AD, which for certain aircraft, requires replacement of certain plate assemblies within the ceiling panel strap assemblies with new, improved plate assemblies; and widens the applicability of the directive.

 David Villiers
 Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority 3 December 2004

 The above AD is notified in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette on 22 December 2004.
