Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION:
Final rule.
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 767-200 and 767-300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of scribe lines found at skin lap joints and butt joints, around external repairs and antennas, and at locations where external decals had been cut. For some airplanes, this AD requires a detailed inspection for scribe lines and applicable related investigative and corrective actions. For other airplanes, this AD requires repetitive nondestructive testing inspections for cracking at certain stringers of the skin lap joint fuselage skin and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES:
This AD is effective April 16, 2026.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 16, 2026.
