AD: Boeing

AD NUMBER: 2008-22-06
MANUFACTURER: Boeing
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-22-06
SUMMARY:
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes.

This AD requires replacing the wire segments of the four Fuel Quantity Indicating System (FQIS) wire bundles with new, improved wire segments. This AD results from operator inspections of the FQIS wire bundles that revealed corrosion at the connections between the ground wire and shield of each of the four FQIS wire bundles.

We are issuing this AD to prevent this corrosion, which could reduce system protection of the lightning shield and result in loss of the electrical grounding between the lightning shield and the airplane structure.

This condition, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
