 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE
 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 CASR 1998. 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.

 Boeing 767 Series Aeroplanes

AD/B767/198 Aft Pressure Bulkhead Web 10/2004

 Applicability: All Model 767 series aircraft.

            Requirement: Action in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 2004-14-19 Amdt 39-13728.

            Note: Boeing Alert Service Bulletins 767-53A0105 and 767-53A0106 original issue, or a later revision approved by the FAA, refer.

            Compliance: As specified in the Requirement document, with a revised effective date of 30 September 2004.

            This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 30 September 2004.

            Background: This Directive requires repetitive detailed inspections of the aft pressure bulkhead web to detect and correct the propagation of fatigue cracks in the vicinity of "oil cans" on the bulkhead web. Such cracking, undetected, could result in rapid decompression of the passenger cabin, damage to control systems that pass through the bulkhead, and consequent loss of control of the aircraft.

 Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority 17 August 2004

 The above AD is notified in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette on 8 September 2004.
