Applicability: Boeing Model 727 series airplanes, as listed in Service Bulletin 727-25- 0271, dated April 19, 1990, certificated in any category.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless previously accomplished.

To prevent a fire hazard associated with unrestrained loose items in life raft stowage compartments falling onto hot passenger service unit lights, accomplish the following:

B. The life raft compartment may be used for stowage and the placard required by paragraph A. of this AD may be removed if or when the life raft compartment is modified in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 727-25-0271, dated April 19, 1990.

C. An alternate means of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate.

NOTE: The request should be submitted directly to the Manager, Seattle ACO, and a copy sent to the cognizant FAA Principal Inspector (PI). The PI will then forward comments or concurrence to the Seattle ACO.

D. Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate airplanes to a base in order to comply with the requirements of this AD.

All persons affected by this directive who have not already received the appropriate service documents from the manufacturer may obtain copies upon request to Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, P.O.
