Unsafe Condition

Deployment of the engine fan thrust reverser during flight due to plugging of the DCV vent path, deploy signal line, or gear switcher actuator deploy chamber port, which can cause the gear switching actuator to move to the 'deploy' position and result in thrust reverser deployment when the thrust lever is moved to the 'idle' position.

Required Actions

Modify the thrust reverser control system by installing a solenoid-operated shut-off valve in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 747-78-2052, Revision 4, dated March 23, 1989. Ensure compliance with the service bulletin's effective pages. Prohibit installation of JT9D engines without the modification as of 18 months after the AD's effective date.
