Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

Built by the Tribune's code from the Federal Register. No AI wrote this page. Published in the Federal Register Nov. 13, 2026. Document 2026-23134. Updated Nov. 13, 2026.

What it does

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 747-400 and 747-400F series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of an overheated alternating current motor pump (ACMP) that caused a fire in the main landing gear (MLG) wheel well. This proposed AD would require a maintenance records check or inspection for any installed ACMP with a certain part number and applicable on-condition actions. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Federal Aviation Administration's summary, as published in the Federal Register.

What it would change

1 part of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations:

14 CFR 39

What happens next and when

The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 28, 2026.

The agency's dates, word for word.
