1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive: 2022-19-04 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-22173; Docket No. FAA-2022-1153; Project Identifier AD-2022-00259-T. (a) Effective Date This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective October 11, 2022. (b) Affected ADs None. (c) Applicability This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 767-2C series airplanes, certificated in any category, having line numbers 1102, 1107, 1114, 1116, 1117, 1119, 1120, 1126, 1128, 1131, 1132, 1134, and 1135. (d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24, Electrical power. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a report that insufficient clearance was found between the right stabilizer trim shut-off control wire (bundle W0589) and an elevator control cable. The FAA is issuing this AD to address possible abrasion of the wire bundle due to movement of the elevator control cable during normal airplane operation. This damage could lead to an open-circuit condition, which could inhibit the ability to shut off hydraulic supply to the "C" stab trim control module and motor. This condition, in conjunction with a runaway horizontal stabilizer condition, may lead to loss of continued safe flight and landing. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Required Actions Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD: Measure for insufficient clearance between the elevator control cable and the right stabilizer trim shut off control wire (bundle W0589) on the airplane's left crown, and do applicable on-condition actions in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, Seattle ACO Branch, FAA. (h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) (1) The Manager, Seattle ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or responsible Flight Standards Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of the person identified in paragraph (i) of this AD. Information may be emailed to:
[email protected]. (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the responsible Flight Standards Office. (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD if it is approved by The Boeing Company Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO Branch, FAA, to make those findings. To be approved, the repair method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation must meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must specifically refer to this AD.
