Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes. This action requires an inspection to detect damage of the wire bundles in the left side of the flight compartment in the vicinity of the stowage box for the captain's oxygen mask, and repair, if necessary; a continuity check on repaired wires; installation of sleeving over the wire bundles; and rerouting of the wire bundles. This amendment is prompted by reports of chafed wiring and minimal clearance between the oxygen connector and the adjacent wire bundles in the vicinity of the stowage box for the captain's oxygen mask. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent such chafing and inadequate clearance, which could result in electrical arcing and consequent oxygen leakage in the vicinity of the stowage box; these conditions, if not corrected, could result in a fire in the flight compartment.
