Summary
This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes. This proposal would require inspection of the actuators for the off-wing slide compartment door on the right and left sides of the airplane to determine the actuator cartridge serial number, and corrective actions, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent the actuators for the off-wing slide compartment door from not firing, which could cause the door to open improperly and prevent the deployment of the off-wing escape slide, leading to the loss of an evacuation route. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
