(1) If any P/N 285T0099-17FSPM card is found, prior to further flight, remove that card in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions in the service bulletin, and replace it with a P/N 285T0099-13 FSPM card. (2) If no discrepancies are detected, no further action is necessary. (b) For airplanes defined as Group II in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-27A0118, Revision 1, dated January 9, 1992: Within 45 days after the effective date of this AD, perform a one-time visual inspection of the P/N 285T0099-17 FSPM in the P50 card file (in 3 places); remove all P/N 285T0099-17 FSPM cards, and visually inspect the connectors for proper pin keying, in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-27A0118, Revision 1, dated January 9, 1992. (1) FSPM P/N 285T0099-17 cards designated "MOD A" do not need to be inspected or removed.

(3) If no discrepancies are detected, reinstall and test each P/N 285T0099-17 FSPM card in accordance with the service bulletin. (c) Within 15 days after accomplishing the requirements of paragraph (a) and (b) of this AD, submit a report of all discrepant FSPM parts that require rework to the Manager, Manufacturing Inspection District Office, ANM-108S, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056; or fax (206) 227-1181.
