intervals not exceeding 4000 hours time in service. For Requirement 3 (a) or (b): Prior to further flight.
           For Requirement 3 (c): Within 10 days after thrust reverser deactivation. For Requirement 3 (d) and (e): Prior to further flight.
           This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 31 October 2002.

           Background: This amendment to the Directive includes numerous editorial changes that include changes to the structure of the requirements and compliance sections. These changes have no affect on the original technical requirements of this Directive. However, it should be noted that the MEL relief provisions have been modified to better amplify the requirements in this regard.

           The repetitive function tests of the thrust reverser additional locking system required by this Directive was previously addressed by Requirement 3 of AD/B767/63 Amdt
           2. This action separates the requirements for the thrust reverser in order to provide ease of maintenance control.

           The actions specified in this amendment, and the original Directive, are intended to prevent possible discrepancies in the thrust reverser system that can result in an inadvertent in- flight deployment.
