Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Boeing Model 767 series airplanes, that requires inspections of the components of the leading edge outboard slat; replacement of the control rod end, if necessary; and various follow-on actions. This amendment is prompted by reports of skewed panels of the outboard leading edge slat due to failure of a corroded rotary actuator or the control rod. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such conditions, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane and damage to or cracking of the leading edge slats or the fixed leading edge of the wing.
