Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -300, -400, and -500 Series Airplanes; and Model 747, 757, 767, and 777 Series Airplanes

摘要

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes; and certain Boeing Model 747, 757, 767, and 777 series airplanes; that requires replacing the rudder pedal pushrod fasteners for both the captain's and first officer's pedal assemblies with new, improved fasteners. This action is necessary to prevent loss of rudder control due to improperly torqued fasteners that connect the pushrod to the rudder pedal assembly, which could result in loss of controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
