The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 757-200, -200PF, and -300 series airplanes, powered by Pratt & Whitney PW2000 series engines. This AD requires repetitive inspections for loose or damaged components of the support brackets and associated fasteners for the hydraulic lines located in the nacelle struts, and any related investigative and corrective actions. This AD results from reports of damage and subsequent failure of the support brackets and associated fasteners for the hydraulic lines located internal to the upper fairing cavity of the nacelle struts. We are issuing this AD to prevent such failure, which, in conjunction with sparking of electrical wires, failure of seals that would allow flammable fluids to migrate to compartments with ignition sources, or overheating of the pneumatic ducts beyond auto-ignition temperatures, could result in an uncontained fire.

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Model 182S airplanes. This AD requires repetitively inspecting all engine exhaust muffler end plates (four total) for cracks and replacing any muffler where an end plate is found cracked. The AD also requires fabricating and installing a placard that specifies immediately inspecting all engine exhaust muffler end plates any time the engine backfires upon start-up. This AD is the result of incidents where cracks were found in an engine exhaust muffler end plate on several of the affected airplanes. These cracks were caused by high stresses imposed on the attachment of the exhaust at the area of the firewall. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct damage to the engine exhaust mufflers caused by such high stress and cracking, which could result in exhaust gases entering the airplane cabin with consequent crew and passenger injury.
