AD: The Boeing Company Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2016-10-09

PRODUCT: Certain Boeing Model 787-8 and 787-9 airplanes equipped with General Electric engines.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by reports of cracking in barrel nuts on a forward engine mount of Model 747-8 airplanes, which shares a similar design to the forward engine mount of Model 787-8 and 787-9 airplanes.

This AD requires, for certain airplanes, replacement of the four barrel nuts of the forward engine mount on each engine.

For certain other airplanes, this AD requires an inspection to determine if any forward engine mount barrel nut having a certain part number is installed; and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the forward engine mount barrel nuts. Such cracking could result in reduced load capacity of the forward engine mount and could result in separation of an engine from the airplane and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective June 24, 2016.

FMI: AD
