AD NUMBER: 2007-02-18
MANUFACTURER: Boeing
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-02-18 SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing
airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Boeing Model
767-200, -300, and -300F series airplanes. That AD currently
requires an inspection of visually accessible areas for indications
of overheating of the heater tape attached to the potable water
fill and drain lines in the forward and aft cargo compartments,
exposed foam insulation or missing or damaged protective tape
around the potable water fill and drain lines, and debris or
contaminants on or near the potable water fill and drain lines.
That AD also requires corrective action, as necessary. This new AD
requires repetitive inspections of the forward and aft cargo
compartments, as applicable, for discrepancies of the potable water
supply and gray water drain lines; and applicable corrective
actions if necessary. This AD also requires replacing the heater
tapes on the potable water supply and gray water drain lines of the
forward and aft cargo compartments, as applicable, with new ribbon
heaters, or deactivating and removing any defective heater tape and
wrapping the drain line with foam insulation; either action ends
the repetitive inspections. This AD results from a report of a fire
in the aft cargo compartment. We are issuing this AD to prevent
overheating of the heater tape on potable water fill and drain
lines,which may ignite accumulated debris or contaminants on or
near the potable water fill and drain lines, resulting in a fire in
the airplane.
