Applicability: Model 767 airplanes, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-29A0064, Revision 1, dated October 24, 1991, certificated in any category.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.

To prevent hydraulic fluid from entering the cabin, accomplish the following:

(a) Within 3,000 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, inspect the inboard leading edge slat power drive unit hydraulic pressure tube for clearance from the adjacent pneumatic duct and for signs of chafing, in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-29A0064, Revision 1, dated October 24, 1991:

(1) If the clearance is more than 0.25 inch and there are no signs of chafing, no further action is necessary.

(2) If the clearance is 0.25 inch or less, or if signs of chafing are found on the hydraulic tube, prior to further flight, replace both the hydraulic pressure tube and the hydraulic return tube, in accordance with the service bulletin.

(3) If chafing is found on the pneumatic duct, prior to further flight, repair the pneumatic duct in accordance with the service bulletin.

(b) For airplanes on which the hydraulic pressure tube has been replaced in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-29A0064 (original issue), dated June 13, 1991: Within 4,000 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, replace the hydraulic return tube in accordance with Paragraph III.D. of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-29A0064, Revision 1, dated October 24, 1991.

(c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Seattle ACO.

NOTE: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Seattle ACO.

(d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.
