AD: The Boeing Company Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2016-04-08

PRODUCT: Certain Boeing Model 787-8 airplanes

ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments

SUMMARY: This AD requires revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to include an airworthiness limitation for repetitive inspections of the web fastener holes in the overwing flex-tees.

This AD was prompted by a report that certain web fastener holes in the overwing flex-tees at the wing-to-body interface might not have been deburred properly when manufactured. Fastener holes without the deburr chamfer applied can develop fatigue cracking.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking in the web fastener holes in the overwing flex-tees, which can weaken the primary wing structure so it cannot sustain limit load.

DATES: This AD is effective March 9, 2016. Comments must be received by April 8, 2016.

FMI: AD
