Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 757-200 Series Airplanes

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain 757-200 series airplanes. This proposal would require replacement of the stringer clip(s) with a new stringer clip(s), and modification of the life raft support structure and/or life raft doors, as applicable. This proposal is prompted by a report that certain life raft stowage compartments and certain life raft doors are understrength. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent a life raft falling from its stowage compartment, and consequently injuring nearby occupants or delaying or impeding the evacuation of passengers during an emergency landing.
