FAA Mandates Rust Checks for Boeing 767 Antennas
Published Date: 4/29/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The FAA wants Boeing 767 planes to get regular check-ups for rust on a special antenna part after a big maintenance found some corrosion. If rust shows up, crews will fix it to keep flights safe. This means airlines need to inspect these parts often, which might cost some time and money but keeps everyone flying safely.

Boeing 767 operators must inspect SATCOM
If you operate Boeing Model 767-200, 767-300, 767-300F, or 767-400ER airplanes, the FAA would require repetitive detailed inspections (DET) of the SATCOM high gain antenna adapter plate for corrosion and on-condition repairs. The rule was prompted by a heavy maintenance check that found corrosion and requires operators to inspect regularly and fix corrosion when found, which may cost time and money for airlines and operators.
Passenger safety improved for Boeing 767s
If you fly on Boeing 767-200, 767-300, 767-300F, or 767-400ER airplanes, the FAA's proposed rule requires inspections and fixes for corrosion on the SATCOM high gain antenna adapter plate to address an unsafe condition found in maintenance, helping keep flights safe.
