Boeing 727 Series Aeroplanes AD/B727/174 Amdt 1 Shoulder Restraint of Attendant 3/2007 or Observers Seat

Applicability: Boeing 727-100 and -200 series aircraft as listed in Boeing Service Bulletin 727-25-0295 Revision 2, dated 6 February 2003. Requirement: Action in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 2006-26-13 Amdt 39-14871.

Note: Boeing Service Bulletin 727-25-0295 refers. Compliance: Before 21 March 2005.

The compliance date remains unchanged from the original issue of the Airworthiness Directive. This Amendment becomes effective on 15 March 2007. Background: The FAA requires inspection and, if necessary, corrective action to prevent detachment of the shoulder restraint harness of the attendant or observer seat from its mounting bracket during service, which could result in injury to the occupant.

This amendment is an administrative change associated with correcting duplication of service information on other Boeing types. No additional work is required by this amendment.
