SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing Company Model 767-300F series airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register
on June 26, 2024 (89 FR 53370). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that certain cargo compartment insulation blankets do not adequately fit some locations and allow smoke to migrate past the cargo compartment sidewall liners and upward into the main cabin. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require replacing the cargo compartment insulation blankets. The FAA is issuing this AD to address inadequately fitting cargo compartment insulation blankets. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in a fire in the bilge area of the cargo compartment, which if not contained could lead to a smoke and fire event in the passenger compartment.
