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/B767/168 Amdt 1  Flap System Linkage - Inspection  8/2006

Applicability:  Boeing 767 Series aeroplanes as specified in FAA AD 2006-10-08.
Requirement:    Carry out tasks in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD
                2006-10-08.

                Note:  FAA AD 2006-10-08 Amdt 39-14592 refers. This AD supersedes FAA AD 2002-01-15.
Compliance:     Per the requirement document with a revised effective date of 3 August 2006.

                Where reference is made to the effective date of FAA AD 2002-01-15 in FAA AD 2006-10-08 that effective date will be 13 June 2002, which is the effective date of the original issue of this AD.
                This Amendment becomes effective on 3 August 2006.
Background:     The original issue of this AD was in response to FAA AD 2002-01-15.  That AD was in response to bearings that hold the outboard flaps were found to crack which could result in flap separation and consequent loss of aeroplane control.  The AD introduced an upgrade program and a repetitive inspection program to identify the onset of cracking.

                This amendment is in response to FAA AD 2006-10-08.  The amendment maintains the existing requirements for certain serial number aeroplanes, introduces additional inspection requirements, revises some of the intervals and introduces a terminating action to the repetitive inspection requirements.

                The original issue of this AD became effective 13 June 2002.
