60-16-02: 60-16-02\tBOEING: Amdt. 184 Part 507 Federal Register August 2, 1960. Applies to the Following 707-100, -200, -300 Aircraft Only: Serial Numbers 17586 Through 17605, 17609 Through 17616, 17623 Through 17625, 17628 Through 17652, 17658 Through 17680, 17692 Through 17702, 17925 Through 17927. \n\tCompliance required by December 31, 1960. \n\tWhen the fuel dump chutes are in the stowed position, the dump chute roller may not be fully engaged and the dump chute not locked in position. This has resulted in thirteen incidents of the fuel dump chutes inadvertently extending in flight. In five cases all or part of the chute and/or door was lost. In eight cases some damage was done to the chute and/or door. In order to eliminate this problem a new uplatch assembly has been designed which incorporates a position lock for the dump chute roller and a mechanism to indicate the position of the latch when the dump chute is stored. As a result of the above, the following modifications shall be accomplished as indicated: \n\t(a)\tRemove the fuel dump chute uplatch assembly and rework or install new uplatch assemblies in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin Nos. 689 (R-3), 895 and 895A. \n\t(b)\tAfter completion of item (a) conduct the pressure check-out procedure as outlined in item (a1) of Boeing Service Bulletin No. 689 (R-3). This pressure check procedure must be conducted each time the fuel dump chute is removed and reinstalled. \n\t(c)\tA placard must be added on the exterior side of the dump chute closure panel adjacent to the indicator hole. For nomenclature and method of fabricating this placard follow procedure outlined in item (am) of Boeing Service Bulletin No. 689 (R-3). \n\t(d)\tPerform functional test as outlined in Boeing Service Bulletin Nos. 689 (R-3), 895 and 895A.

2009-08-05 R1: We are correcting the address, telephone, and fax information for the reporting requirement in Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-08- 05, which applies to certain Liberty Aerospace Incorporated Model XL-2 airplanes. AD 2009-08-05 currently requires repetitively inspecting the exhaust muffler for cracks, replacing the exhaust muffler when cracks are found, and reporting the results of the inspections to the FAA. Since AD 2009-08-05 became effective, the FAA's Atlanta Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) moved, which has caused the office personnel problems in receiving fax and mailed copies of the inspection result reports. This document corrects the mailing address, telephone number, and fax information of the Atlanta ACO. \n\nDATES: This final rule is effective April 19, 2010. The compliance date of this AD is April 20, 2009, which is the same as the effective date of AD 2009-08-05. \n\tAs of April 20, 2009 (74 FR 16117, April 9, 2009), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Liberty Aerospace, Inc. Service Document Critical Service Bulletin (CSB) CSB- 09-001, Revision Level B, Revised on March 18, 2009.

2010-08-06: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
It has been found the possibility of missing points of sealant application on the vapor barrier assembly in the wing stub rear box. In the event of fuel tank leak in this region associated with an unsealed vapor barrier assembly, migration of flammable vapors and fluids to middle electronic bay may occur, which then could lead to an uncontained fire event if the flammable vapors finds an ignition source.
* * * * *
We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
