What it does

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 757-200 and -300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that some passenger service unit (PSU)-mounted video monitors became detached from the PSU rails during a hard landing. This AD requires replacing PSU-mounted video monitors that do not have secondary retention lanyards. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
