Mandatory pitot-static inspections for 767-300
If you operate certain Boeing 767-300 airplanes that were converted from passenger to freighter under a specific supplemental type certificate (STC), the FAA now requires a visual inspection of the first officer's pitot-static rigid tubes and flexible hoses to check for low points.
