## Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767-200 and - 300 series airplanes. This proposal would require repetitive inspections to detect wear or damage of the door latches and disconnect housings of the off-wing escape slide compartments. If wear or damage is found, the proposed AD would require replacement of these discrepant components with new components. This proposal is prompted by reports of worn and damaged door latches and disconnect housings of the off-wing escape slide compartments. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to ensure deployment of an escape slide during an emergency evacuation. Non-deployment of an escape slide during an emergency could slow down the evacuation of the airplane and result in injury to passengers or flightcrew.
