Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 757 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Boeing Model 757 series airplanes, that requires modification of the engine fuel indication circuits. This amendment is prompted by numerous reports of false indications of engine fuel valve faults, which have led to the flight crew conducting rejected takeoffs (RTO). The actions specified by this AD are intended to reduce such false indications and the flight crew's consequent execution of an RTO at high speed during takeoff roll, which could result in the airplane overrunning the runway, damage to the airplane, and injury to airplane occupants.
