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: 2025-18-05 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-23132; Docket No. FAA-2024-2662; Project Identifier MCAI-2024-00448-T. (a) Effective Date This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective October 23, 2025. (b) Affected ADs None. (c) Applicability This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 767-300 series airplanes, certificated in any category, that have been modified to a special freighter configuration, in accordance with FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST02040SE, and which are listed in paragraph I.A., "Effectivity," of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., Service Bulletin 368-34-106, dated August 2024. (d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 34, Navigation. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a discovery that certain pitot-static tubing of the first officer's pitot-static system was installed incorrectly in the main and mid equipment center during the airplane conversion from passenger to freighter. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the incorrect installation of the pitot-static tubing of the first officer's pitot-static system. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, may affect the capability to drain water or moisture collected in the first officer pitot-static tubing, and may cause malfunction to the system, leading to an increased flight crew workload and possible loss of control of the airplane. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Required Actions Within 36 months after the effective date of this AD, do a visual inspection of the pitot-static rigid tubes, part number (P/N) 233T9110-437 and P/N 233T9110-314, and the flexible hoses, P/N BACH30BC06-0097 and P/N BACH30BC05-0111, at the locations specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., Service Bulletin 368-34-106, dated August 2024, to determine whether low points exist, and do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., Service Bulletin 368-34-106, dated August 2024.
