AD: Boeing

AD NUMBER: 2011-03-15

MANUFACTURER: The Boeing Company Model 767 Airplanes
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2011-03-15

SUMMARY: This AD requires doing a detailed inspection for correct main track downstop assembly, thread protrusion, and damaged and missing parts of the main track downstop assemblies of the outboard slats, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD also requires doing a detailed inspection for foreign objects, debris and damage to the wall of the track housing of the outboard slats, and corrective actions if necessary. This AD results from reports of broken bolts in the outboard slat main track downstop assembly. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct incorrectly installed main track downstop assemblies, which can allow the main track downstop hardware to fall into the track housing and cause a puncture in the track housing when the slat is retracted. This condition, if not corrected, could result in a fuel leak and an increased risk of fire.
